10 AMERICA
(By Associated Press)
AMSTERDAM. Oct. 29—American
control or supervision of the Balkans
is advocated by the Bulgarian Mir, in
a long editorial which says in part:
"Of all the belligerents the Ameri
cans- alone are in a position to form
a true appreciation of the situation
in the Balkans. They are disinteres
ted and well acquainted with local
conditions, and are in a position to
give everybody his due. Having such
a knowledge of the Balkan peninsula
they ought to have the moral will to
exert their authority on their allies
in the interests of justice and dem
ocracy in the Balkans.
“We do not ask that America shall
take our side and that she should pro
tect us. We desire that she should
take the defence of oppressed rights
in our countries, and that she should
become an impartial judge between us
and her allies. We desire that slit
should create a situation in the Bal
kans that will be in agreement witl
the principle of national unification
international justice, and true democ
racy. We would like to see the Uni
ted States exerting their moral influ
ence not only where their materia
interests are affected but also when
moral truth and sacred justice cal
out to them. Devastated Macedoni:
cries for justice to all the world. Cai
America remain a silent witness whei
other couniries are endeavoring t
subjugate Macedonia."

NORWAY STAR T S
IN ANTI-SPY
(By Associated Press)4
CHRISTIANIA, Oct. 29—Norway is
making vigorous efforts to stamp out
German espionage within its shores.
The Swedish revelations have given
a great impetus to the anti-spy cam
paign.
The Interned German ship, “Berlin”
is to he removed from Hommelvik to
Aqsenfiord, further inside the coast
line. It has been urged for a long
time that the position of the "Berlin”
offered opportunities for the espion
age on shipping.
Guards have been placed not only
ever the Norwegian military estab
Bailments, but also over the large in
dustrial works. Thus a military pick
et has been placed at the Fredrlckstad
iron works where the new slips foi
10,000-ton £ips are ready and tres
passers ha^Fbeen warned to keei
away.
Under a law of July, 1917, the cam
mune of Christiania has ordainec
that the Chief of Police forbid per
sons who are not Norwegians to re
■ side in the Commune longer than i
■ fixed period. A new law concerning
• the necessity of passports and the ex
I pulsion of aliens has been rigidly en
>' forced since October 1.
I A spy case which caused a grea
i flurry for a time was that of a Dam
i named Kristiansen who has been ex
i pelled from the country. The who!
> affair developed into an lmpuden
fraud, with one of the belligeren
governments as the victims. Krisl
iansen was obtaining money from hi
. government by giving or promising t
give information of no real value cor
cerning another.

ALASKA TIN IS I
% _ §|
A recent bulletin from Washington
has been received regarding the out
put of tin from Alaska. It says:
“The known tin deposits In the Uni
ted States are few, but Alaska is some
thing of a contributor to our much
needed tin demand. Alaska lode tin
was discovered, curiously enough, by
a geologist of the geological survey,
department of the interior, as he was
helping two prospectors by crudely
smelting in a camp cup a piece of pe
culiar looking ore which the prospect
ors rightly suspected to be tin. Speci
mens of stream tin were also collect
ed by survey geologists in Alaska in
1900. which was before this metal was
known to occur In the territory. Soon
after that time prospecting for stream
tin became active, and since 1902 near
ly 1,000 tons of metallic tin had been
produced.
| “The survey has given special atten
j tion to tin in Alaska. Last year's out
put was 139 tons, an Increase of 37
tons over 1915, but It is the hope ol
government officials that with the pre
sent high prices the production for th<
present year may total as much as 30C
tons. In the Seward peninsula, where
placer tins was first mined, the source
of this stream tin has been discovered
and lode mining Is now being carrier
on. In the other known Alaskan tir
locality — the Hot Springs placer tit
region — geological survey men art
t this year searching for the source ant
t are also urging the miners to save
- their stream tin.
! “Stream tin is rather widely distri
> buted in the Hot Springs district, bu
- as yet few of the gold placer mineri
make any pretense of saving it. Ai
effort is being made by the govern
! ment geologists now on the ground ti
; induce the miners to save and shlj
this stream tin, which should matej
5 ially increase the toUl output fron
the territory. Placer mining in th
Hot Springs district can be carried on
for about three monthi in summer. In
view of the great need of tin in the
United States it is hoped that the Alas
ka miners will make every effort to
increase their output.
“The geological survey has just is
sued a report on tin. manganese, plati
num, aluminum, tunngsten. chromite
and other important minerals — Bul
letin 666. ‘Our Mineral Supplies.” This
bulletin is published in the form of
brief leaflets or separate chapters. The
tin report is Bulletin 66-U, and the
chapter on Alaska's mineral supplies,
Bulletin 666-P.”
; SWEDISH VESS E L
STOCKHOLM, Oct. 29—The Swe
dish steamer Flandria was attacked
by a Zeppelin on its latest trip home
ward. The first bomb which was drop
ped narrowly missed the ship. JThe
engines were stopped and the crew
ordered into the boats. Four more
bombs were dropped dangerously near
the vessel. Before all those on board
had entered the boats there was a
panic, and the captain had to use his
revolver to enforce discipline.
The ship's company, after remain
ing about two hours in the boats, re
turned to their ship.. Several hours
later another airship appeared and
hovered about the ship for a time but
departed without doing ahy harm.
