CONFIDENCE IS
GROWING FAST
S' REPORTS THE CHAIRMAN
OF THE WAR COMMITTEE
t ,\ HIS RETURN
PARIS Jan. 24—George Clcnsen
ceau, chairman of the army commit
tee who has just returned from the
front has this so say about the con
dition and confidence of the army:
"We had the largest powers for
inquiry possible and investigation
which it "as possible for the Gov
ernment to give us. From the
•richest chief bending over his maps
to the simplest of the soldiers alert
at listening posts ami huts of mud.
sometimes only a few yards from
the enemy, we found and we felt the
agnificen; unity of resolution of
soul and will, serenely superior to
all chances of weakening."
XL Ciemenceau considers that the
soldiers of every age at the front
are of equal quality. “A Parisian.
46 years old. but fresh and rosy," he
said, "had just come out of a mine
with good mud clinging to his
beard; he did not deny that he was
tired at times, but he affirmed, with
still more insistence: 'Each man
to Ms task and we go about it with
good will. ' A wounded man. white
from loss of blood, was being
brought back by comrades to the
dressing station. In accents of ten
; deraess a beardless youth who was
supporting an old reservist, bleeding
■ reely. sa:i: *Conie on and have
your wound dressed, comrade.’ ”
Regarding operations generally at
the front M. Ciemenceau said:
“There ss not a single discordant
note. There is union of all hearts
and harmony of al! energies in a
well-concerted struggle against all
obstacles. Tner e is 3 dose inter
working of commanders and soldiers
in the execution of orders.”
The only expression of criticism
uttered by XL Ciemenceau was in
regard to the need for still better
organization.
LARGER PRODUCTION OF
TITANIUM
During 1915 the American Rutile i
Co., produced 250 tons of rutile, tit
anium dioxide) worth between $25,
C00 and $30,000, at its plant at Rose
land. Va., the largest production to
date. A considerable quantity of
iimenhef titanium iron oxide) was
produced as a by-product. For a
number of years this firm has been
the sole producers of rutile in this
country. Attempts have been made
by others to develop deposits in
Hanover and Gochland counties, Va..
and near Magnet, Ark., bat no com
mercial production hs3 yet been
made a; these places.
Rutile and ilmenite are both used
Is the manufacture of ferrititanium,
which is employed in making steel i
and cast iron. Both are used in
making electrodes for arc lamps, bat
for some reason ilmenite from other
sources than the above does not '
seem to give the same satisfaction.
Rutile is the source of titanium
for making cupiotitaniam for use in
brass and other copper-bearing al
loys, and for making poitassium
titanium oxalate, used in dyeing
leather and textiles. A litle rutile
Is also used in creamics.
