With this, the lat day of the official drive for memberships the Red Cross the state has enrolled a little more than 200.000 or about 50 per cent of what would be possible if every adult in the state enrolled.!! ' Unless there are a sufficient num ber of members enrolled in this drive it will be necessary for the Red Cross to come before the people within a few months to make a money cam paign, and this is somethine that the Red Cross .management dislikes to do. Word: received from Washington slates that it was believed enrollments-would be so heavy that un fur ther hives for funds would be re quired.. The slow manner in which the people are responding, however, eives risc o the doubt as to whether the organization can net alonsr without the inonev drives. If Oregon does its share and finishes, strong, a there is atill it possibility of its doing, this will cancel, any war fund drive for the Red .Cross, so far as this state is concerned. . .r ; There are 200.000 wounded Ameri can soldiers in France who will have to be cared for an indefinite number of months. The Red Cross is expect ed to look after these bovs- and will do so. In addition there will be a mil lion American soldiers in Europe for probably an entire vearv and these, (oo. will receive the attention of the Red Cross. 'The signine of the arm istioe hiiS' hot demobilized the Red Crossi: ;THe work must go on and there is a vast amount to be accom plished...

EVE OF REVIVAL SAX" FRAXCISCO. Calif.. Dee. 23. Mining, the ' industry which has played so vital a part in the winning of the war. will assume a position of greater importance following the ces sation of hostilities, than ever be fore, according to Fletcher Hamilton. state mineralogist..' Development of new mining fields is cssentialv a pio neer enterprise evidenced in the pe riods after the important war of the world. - The independent.' open-air do-and-dare spirit is engendered in the hearts of the soldier nnd.sailor. and thousands of the American bovs who are soon to come home from France will never, again, be satisfied to sit at a desk through the day. and go home to a stuffy room on a city street afnotght. Mining is the type of. industry which will attract these men. , . ; .';' '. ' . Three contrftutine ""factors, said Mr. 'Hamilton. ' will . assure- the, trnth of the statement that mining, partic ularly in California, is on the eve of a great revival., ,; - , , , i. ine demand lor metals, struc tural materials, petroleum products and heavy chemicals which will ac company the reconstruction, rehab ilitation and reorganization of the entire civilized world. 2. The existence of all kinds of mineral deposits', both developed and undeveloped, in every one of the f8 counties of the state, which will make possible partial satisfaction of. that demand, at least. '- ; . -, ' 3. The accessibility of labor and brains trained to tasks of the ncccs- story character, and the cnorgv and initiative to carry on the work, as represented in the presence of tho re turned soldiers and others who will flock to the west for a field in which to begin life anew. j-The mining laws of the slate and nation are so framed. ; Mr. Hamilton said, as to offer every encourage ment to the prospector and pioneer. When a mineral deposit is discovered on public land and there remain large tracts of government land vet open .for location in California the staking out of a claim and recording of that act in the" state or locul county recorder's office gives the lo cator ,possesatory tillc to the ground. One hundred dollars, worth of "assessment", work annually per formed maintains such title indefi nitely. . w. '; .;: .- y l SHAKE OF DICE WILL DECIDE STATE v' SHERIDAN. Wvo..

After urging the great opportunity afford ed by the peace conference for taking ii practical step in the direction of forming a League of Nations, Vis count Grey suvs; , "It is not ueeesshrv for tho peace conference to create a League of Na tions. The conference will in itself be a vital beginning of such a league. All that is absolutely necessary is that it should nob commit tsuicidc, but keep itself alive bv udiourniug and leaving ii permanent organization, in stead of dissolving itself and destroy ing its machinery. . "This is not all that is desirable but it is all thnt is essential. A beginning that has in it vitality and power of growth is a mure complete and moro tttrnctivo creution than one that has no life. One is it living tiling while the other is n piceo'of furniture. "Two more points I would espe cially commend to careful and svm nuthetio consideration. One is the possibility of applying the people's trusteeship to those vast tracts, es pecially Africa, where no independent national government of the native in habitants can be formed. The other is emphasis on the earnest ndvocnev of the part to bo taken bv the United States in helping to give effect to this people of the trusteeship and in the council of the world. . Without the t'nited States any council or league of nations will soon be little bettor than the old concert of Europe which was spoiled invuTinblv by intrigues within it and split .into opposing groups. "It would he as fatal tn the future of the world for the I'nited States; to relapse into the old idea of strict isolation as it will he for any power to revive the German policy of depu rate conquest and domination. .. It is. I believe, in this spirit ami for this purpose that tho people of this coun try desire elose and cordial relations with the I'nited States." MORE U.
