- CHROME.
TUK ritatcnipnt of engineers of the fcdcnil bureau of
mines that the largest deposit of ehromitc or
ehronie-iron ore found in the United States lias recently
been located in tho Siskiyou mountains oirvr tho Klamath
divide Itch a the Blue Ledge mine, has aroused general in
terest hi chrome. The subject is of paramount local in
terest as the construction of a railroad to the chrome licit
would make Med ford the chrome center of America.
Chrome raiiks among the most important of war min
erals. With out extensive deposits of manganese to the
east of the city and chrome to the west, ther is opportu
nity for Med ford to become an important factor in winning
the war for increased production of both ores is a war es-
sential.
Chrome is used principally:
1. As an alloy for hardening and toughening steel,
used directly m the manuractur'e ot axles, springs,:. gun
carriages, automobiles and trucks, tanks and other neces
sary munitions of war.
2. As a' heat and acid-resisting lining for steel fur
naces. Chrome bricks and chrome ores are used to line
furnaces that turn out :M),000,)()() tons of steel per year
and there is no known substitute that will not reduce Un
capacity of the furnace.
For making dyes to color cloth that goes into the
manufacture, of soldiers' uniforms and equipment.
4. For the manufacture of chemicals used in the tan
ning of leather from which soldiers' shoes are made.
tjiirome is rouna in serpentine formation. Jlic ore is
heavy and colored dark brown. 'Float is usually found
nearby, which is an aid to locating the ledge. It does not
occur in veins, though sometimes narrow lenses are found
The deposits are usually irregular and frequently discon
nected.
Before the war, chrome
Acw Caledonia and Miodcsia,
veal's Asiatic J urkey was also
in tlie eastern states were worked out vears ago and the
only sources of domestic supply art? the serpentine areas of
t-alilorma and Oregon.
Chrome has been mined in Josephine county for the
past three years and deposits along the Klamath rivei
niountains are being opened up but aH of these together
are stated to have less ore in
covered deposit in the Blue
veloped.
As ships cannot be spared
it is up to the United States
and it is the part ol patriotism lor all of us to co-operate
with Uncle Sam in the development of chrome deposits.
CALLING OUT
AN army of five million or more U to be raised at once
to wage war upon the kaiser and in order to secure
the needed number of men, the administration man-power
bill has been introduced calling for the registration of men
between the ages of 18 and -15.
The proposal lo'iiroil boys of IS does not mean neces
starily that tliey are to be taken to the war front, except in
case of emergency, hut they will be enrolled and given
training which will save much time when they are called.
There is little likelihood of the wars being ended within the
next two years if it is ended as it should be cntW. by a

is promised in congress
grounds. The enrollment is
the (lei iuan people that America means business and we
have the assertion of annv officials at the front that the
best soldiers are the boys from 17 to 2 years old.
Secretary Daniels recently stated that one-third of the
marines are boys under 121. The proportion of enlisted
youlhs under age in the regular army and national guard
is si ill greater.
Since the war started, (ieriuany has called into war
service :UKI.",(H) boys under age. hi proportion to popu

"STEEL BA1H" UPON
; NKW YORK, Aug. 7. War bus
caused an lncreaKO of crime and tle
prafity anions the German people,
according to an analysis publi.sli(Ki by
the Kerlln Vorwaerts. The papei1 re
calls that ut tho beginning of the
war, prophets Hpoke of a "nteel bath"
In the waters of which the morals oi
the Herman peoplf would recuperate.
"Sinco August 4, 1914," says the
Vorwaerts, "wo have allowed tho
blessings of this bath to act on us
with steadily Increasing vigor and
the result Is a moral condition of
health of the German people of whfen
the Compilations of criminal statis
tics givo convincing reports. These
tell us of tho steadily Increasing
number of crimes of brutality, and
serious crimes against property and a
glance at any newspaper confirms
the horribly Increasing number of
burglaries and robberies in tho cities
as well as In rural districts. System
atically organized and methodically
operating bands of robbers menace
continually life and property of 're
spectable citizens.
"Also honesty of tho latter has
suffered a perceptible, 'crack" and
here the Influence of tho steel bath
is directly proved. We do not fear
that we are disclosing any state
endangering secret when we an
nounce tho fact that at present there
probably aro few German subjects
left who have not in gome more or
lens serious manner violated the ex
isting government decrees and laws
and made themselves liable to pun
ishment." '
Tho Vorwaerts then dwells on the
offects of the steel bath on the grow
ing generation and cites complaints
by the clergy and teachers to show
that depravity Is ono of tho results. ,

(Uy the Associated Press). The Ger
mans appear to be determined not to
permit American engineers to throw
bridges across the Vosle and us a
result several American officers hnvo
bad thrilling experiences.
Lieutenant E. F. Mail of California
on Tuesday was undor cover with
sixty men on the south bank uwaltlng
a lull In tho German shelling In order
'to build a bridge. It was Intended to
'build a foot bridge on the founda
tions of a bridge destroyed by the
Clormans and then to put up a larger
structure. Lieutenant Mall, carrying
two planks, started out on an explor
ation trip by himself.
The lieutenant reached the south
ern pier just as the German machino
j gunners commenced a heavy II.ru.
IThls'dld not stop him. Ho tossed
one plank into a temporary position
and then put the other In place from
the south pier to the pier In the mid
dle of the river. The enemy fire be
coming warmer, Lieutenant Mall
Jumped Into tho river and took cover
on the north bank. Afterward he re
ccssed to the south bank and rejoined
his command amid cheers from the
soldiers. '
Farther west of Fismes, Major
Francis U. Newcomber and Captain
James P. Growden during daylight
felled a tree across the Vcsle and
crossed to tho north bank. There
they chopped down another tree
whjch fell toward the southern bank.
Soon afterwards they hail completed
a footbridge with tho tree trunks as
stringers. Xewcomber and Growden
had gone ahead of the bridge bulld
I lug gang to the position and when
the gang arrived they found the work
well started. The enemy discovered
the footbridge soon afterward and
subjected it to heavy fire.
