STROUSE & CO. w THURSDAY EVENING, Mechanicsburg to Decide Big Park as Memorial ,aafc, v A memorial park to commemorate | the deeds of valor of her sons who, answered the call to arms during j the great World War, will be Me chanicsburg's gift to her soldier boys.' By public spbscription, residents of the Cumberland county borough have raised enough funds to make the park possible and with the aid given them by the Bureau of Munici palities of the Pennsylvania Depart ment of Internal Affairs, actual i work on the park will be a matter for the very near future. Plans for the park were drawn by Karl B. Lohmann, city planner of the Bureau of Municipalities with the approval of Secretary of Internal ports totalled more than one-fourth million tons annually. War a Great Stimulus Although the original plan of the government works had called for an annual steel output of ninety thou sand tons, the entire production of the country did not once equal this amount until 1907. Nevertheless, the effect of the government's op erations, which effectively began in May, 1901, and the stimulus of the Russo-Japanese war may be noted in the rapid and steady increase for the next five years. From 1901 to the end of 1905, the total yearly output increased forty fold and thereafter about tripled every five | Affairs James !•'. Woodward and J. Herman Knisely, chief of the Bureau iof Municipalities. As drawn, the j plans were adopted by the committee I in charge of the borough's Memorial | Park and a lively campaign to secure I funds still necessary will be next in order. In the accompanying etching the park plan as submitted by Mr. Loli mann is shown. The plot, which covers 25 acres, is bounded on the south by the Cumberland Valley i Railroad, on the east by Washing ton street, and on the north by farm land. In shape, the plot is tri angular. The plan of the Bureau of Mu nicipalities provides for an entrance to the park in Washington street and years. In 1900 less than one per cent, of the demand of the country for steel was satisfied by domestic production. In 1902 about 15 per cent, was produced at home; by 1911 this had risen to 30 per cent, and in 1913 to 33 per cent. At the beginning of the war. home produc tion just equaled imports. Private contributions to the pro gress before the war were not im portantv Only three noteworthy concerns existed the Kamaishl mine, at one time under the control of the government; the Senninzan and Wanishi mines. These followed along the lines which government enterprise had pioneered, initiating very little and barely being able to make both ends meet. The advent of the war made clear as never before the prime import ance of iron and steel, and at the same time gave extraordinary stim ulus to private enterprise in the form of enormous profits. The former of these facts made a pecu liar appeal to the government, which exerted strenuous efforts to increase the country's producing ca pacity. In 1917 a law was passed for the encouragement of the iron and steel industry. The new legis lation provided that companies pro ducing more than 35,000 tons of steel annually should have special privileges for acquiring land for steel mills; the free importation of raw materials, tools and machinery; ex emption from taxes and other at tractive privileges. Private enter prise wlls quick to respond. Prac tically all of the firms extended their operations and new companies were promoted by the score. In March, this year, the total capital invested in new concerns was esti mated to be about 165 million dol lars, exclusive of investments by the government in its enterprise. The government on its own account also planned very considerable extensions of which a part are already com pleted. Had to Train Workers The products of the government steel works in the past have been devoted largely to government pur poses, supplying in particular the Navy Department. Recently, how ever, some of its products have been disposed of to the public, chiefly for shipbuilding, which industry is be ing assisted by the government. At the outset the government works had very few skilled work men, and every step it took was threatened with failure; more than once the project was c'w the point of being abandoned. There did not exist a body of mechanics from whom recruits could be drawn. It was necessary to train the men, or it would be more correct to say that the men had to train themselves as best they could. Even more diffi cult than the problem of mere skill was that of developing pride of me chanical achievement The govern ment works now employ about fif teen thousand workers showing a high degree of efficiency. About three hundred thousand tons of ore from Tayeh mine in China, together with fifty thousand tons of pig iron from the, Hanyang Iron and Steel Works, also in China, is shipped each year to the Japanese government steel works in dis charge of financial obligations to the latter. The Tayeh mine on the Vangtse River belongs to the Han- Yen-Ping Iron Works, one of the largest in the Far East, located at Hanyang, near Hankow. It was started some years ago as a Chinese government concern, but as the re sult of numerous difficulties it fell into financial dependence on Jap anese Interests, which have ad vanced large sums to it, the obliga tions now standing at about 37V4 million dollars. Large extensions which are now under way will short ly make it possible for Japan an nually to secure one hundred and thirty thousand tons of pig iron and one-half million tons of high per centage ore from this source. Could Supply 11. S. Only a Year ; Japan's imports average twice as much iron ore as is produced within i the country. The reason is that Ja ; pan's deposits are not extensive. Al i together they are estimated at about i 4 0 million tons. When it is consid ! ered that the iron industry of the United States would exhaust Ja- I pan's total known deposits of ore i within a single year, it is evident ' that the country must depend more i and more upon ores from other sources. Korea has deposits which have been estimated •at as high as 250 million tons, although 100 million tmuusßuno teltokxph .just hisale space la made available for a community building should the borough at some future time de cide on such a course. In the mean while, the space could be utilized for meeting purposes and band concerts. Near the entrance, too, is located a playground for small children and the plans call for swings, slides, wad ing pool, sand piles and the like. Near the north side of the plot is located the football field and run ning track and just beyond a swim ming pool is provided for. Near the western limits of the plot is a base ball field pictured, a grove, an ob servatory. croquet and quoit grounds and lawns. Provision is also made In a part of the plot for tennis I courts and other amusements. tons perhaps literally cover all the workable deposits. In addition to these deposits con trolled by Japan, the country looks in the future to the extensive de posits of China and hopes to co operate in their development. Dr. H. Foster Bain, assistant director of the United States Bureau of Mines, estimates China's available ore de posits at 700 million tons, of which <OO million tons are suitable for modern furnace methods and the remainder susceptible of treatment by native methods. Japan is al ready financially interested in a number of the Chinese mines. If China should agree to the joint op eration of these mines. Japan would be assured of unlimited supplies of ores. In any case she will be able to purchase a portion of the ores and pig-iron produced in China. With respect to coal, the second important raw material for the iron industry, it may be said that Japan is fairly well supplied with medium to good coal. The most extensive, as well as the best quality deposits, are in the northern part of Kyushu, and it is here that most of the iron and steel works are found Ja pan has access to Korean and-Man churian coal also. —Trans-Pacific Magazine. Lion Must Have Growled Later at His Moderation loiulon The little Island of Nauru, a tiny speck in the Southern Pacific, produced one of the most di verting comedies of the Peace Confer ence in Paris, and only now are the British public lot into the secret of this valuable acquisition. This island had been In Germany's possession many years, and a wireless station was erec ted upon it Premier Hughes of Australia, de manded It Premier Massey of New Zealand, claimed it and British Colonial Secretary Milner was sent for to settle the dispute. To the amazement of the two Pre miers. Lord Milner declared that they were not the only parties having rights in the island. He admitted that an Australian cruiser destroyed the wire less station, and also that the island was much closer to New Zealand than to Australia, but It had been occupied by British troops, which gave Great Britain an unimpeachable claim to sharing It with the dominions. After much haggling and quarrelling the island was equally divided between' all three. It is credibly stated that, although of course each of the three diplomats very well knew why he coveted this tiny little place, its value, which was the true reason, was nevpr mentioned in the negotiations, each basing his claim solely on the ground of right. Nauru is but twelve miles in cir cumference and only about 8,000 acres in area, but that whole area is a solid mass of phosphate rock, the most valu able fertilizer obtainable. For its size, Nauru is the most val uable island in the Pacific Ocean, and it is not the least acceptable prize of the many and great ones that England has obtained through the war.

DEFENDS HIRED CHURCH SINGERS New York Pastor Says Almost] All of Them Are Truly Religious j Xew York The Rev. Dr. Percy J Stickney Grant of the Church of the I Ascension, thinks the position of the j Rev. Dr. Henry Wilder Foote of the Harvard Divinity School, in condemn- j ing the practice of hiring singers for j church services, indefensible. Dr. Foote. in an address on "Pub- j lie Devotions" before the annual gen- ] eral conference of the Unitarian So- : cieties in session at Baltimore, con- { demned the hiring of singers as com- j parable to the ancient practice of hir- j Ing mourners for a funeral. His in- i vective was aimed particularly at "con- j cert-minded" church quarters, j "You might as well say the engage ment of hired preachers, or a hired sexton is indefensible." says Dr. Grant. "Of course. I speak from the point of view of the rector of an Kpis copal church, who has for nearly twen i ty-six years employed a rohed chaneel I choir of men and women, who were paid for their services.
