By. J. V. McAREE While it seems to be principle upon which the democratic nations are working that preparedness for war is the best insurance against it, it is casier to think of past wars that have been fought with all the combantant pre_ pared than of wars in which only one was ready. For instance, in 1914 all the combatants were set to go, even if it was only two or three years later that the allied powers achieved their maximum strength. But in the case of Poland it does appear that the readâ€" iness of that nation to defend itself and its ability to do so may be her salâ€" vation. At any rate, she will not be approached as was Czechoâ€"Slovakia. In that case Germany knew that the friends of the little country were diâ€" vided in opinion and distrustful of each other. Today Poland has powerâ€" ful friends pledged to come to her aid when she calls. Poland has a populaâ€" . tion of some 25,000,000 and an actual army on a pracctime footing of 266._I 000. It is by no means mechanized to the extent of the German army, but it has been trained to meet a sudden assault, arild cach year 300,000 recruits | pass through a period of drilling by the professionals. In a crisis Poland | could put in the field the sixth strongâ€" i est army in Europe, its personnel ratâ€" ing it even more highly. j ; One Pistol Confiscated , In the opinion of J. M. Spaight, who j writes in the Spectator, what Germany fears most from Poland| is her air strength. It is true that she has not a great air force in the matter of size, though her flying men are famous, nor a large productive capasity.. The vilal point is that the Polish frontier is only 100 miles from Berlin. Germany mainâ€" ltained _ that . Czechoâ€"Slovakia, whose frontiers were equally close, was really 2 pistol poinlted at her. So she not i only took the pistol, but killed the na._ tion that was holding it. Now Gerâ€" many sees that another pistol is pointâ€" ed at her from the ecast. It is held in stronger hands and it will not be surâ€" rendered. One can imagine the situâ€" ation if the British and French air forces, to say nothing of the Russian, could find in Poland the jumping off place for their operations against Gerâ€" many. One can imagine the feelings in Berlin, just half an hour‘s flight away by a bomber. If the Polish army was not pushed back from the frontier, Berlin might be laid in ashes in the first fortnight of a war. Great Acroplane Base Before the Polish pact the acrial acdâ€" vantages have been all with Germany as compared with Great Britain and France. It is true, of course, that it is practically the same distance from London to Berlin as it is from Berlin to London. But acroplanecs do not ne._ cessarily set off from one capital to another. The point of vital imporâ€" tance has been that, while Berlin is more than 500 miles from the English cvoast, London is only 350 miles from | ‘ : w c n c on smm s mm ons mm on se :. + ns mm o omm m mmmmene on â€" oo on omm commmmmmes ues um en Position of Poland Explained in Detail by Experts Readiness of Nation to Deâ€" fend Itself Likely to Save Itself from War.

To con._ sent to the alleged liberation of the German minority, whch is about â€" 3 per cent of the total population and a smaller percentage than in Canada, would involve the subyugation of twenty Poles for every German set free. To grant the Corridor demands would mean the severing of Poland‘s "jugular vein" while to consent to the pushing back of the frontier in order to make Berlin safer would mean to surrender the "cradle of the race" and almost certainly the major part of her heavy industry in Silesia. Unlike the Czechs, the Poles are a homogencous people, almost unanimously of the same religious faith,. They are well supâ€" plied with newspapers, though there is also a Polish censorship in accord with their dictatorship, and they have their great antional traditions and heroes. Standing alone, Poland could be crushâ€" ed by Germany, <but apart from reâ€" moving the danger to Berlin it is doubt{ul if the cost would be worth the treasure. Try The Advance Want Advertisements Three German Aims To push back the Polish frontier is probably the chief stratezic ground for the German demands on her neighâ€" This is one of three reasons with which Hitler is expected to seek to _justify himself with the German peo_ ple, should his aggrandizement lead to war. The other reasons are to wipe out the supposed reproach of the Polish { Corridor and to liberate the German | minority in Poland. As regards the | Germans in Poland, they number about a million and are scattered all over the country. W.J. Rose, also in the Specâ€" tator, says that most of these Germans lhavc no real grievance, for they have _ been assimilated. But they are being made over again into Germans. "Unâ€" heardâ€"of men and women who have played only a passive part in life," he writes, "are now promised a chance to achieve a career and to shine in leadership. Their native cego is flatâ€" tered ~and they can casily become agents of unrest; like the minute germs of_ yeast in. a mass of dough, they may hope to bring the whole into ferâ€" ment.‘"â€" But these Germans can be counted upon play the same role as the Sudctans, if the Poles will permit them, but with the important difference that they are scattered throughout Poland, and not concentrated in frontier areas. Their pitiful wails are expected to | wring the hcearts of the Germans in the Reich. | | # I 4 | | slan 1 Spain the German coast and Berlin is the same distance away from the French frontier, ecvery mile being over Gerâ€" man territory, The disadvantages of the democratic powers need not be laboured. Now the pact with Poland provides them, in the event of war, with a flying field only half an hour‘s journey from Berlin. Should Russia jJoin the democratic powers and pledge herself to defend Poland there would be available the output of her seventy aircraft factories, which is ten times as mmany as Germany acquired with Czechoâ€"Slovakia. The quality of the Russian machines is said to be good, for many of them are being manufacâ€" tured under American licenses,.

In operation of the sluice the top soil is removed and the subsoil carried to the sluice in trucks. It is moved to the top of a tower by a continuous belt and washed through screen by water piped from the rock bed of Sycamore Creock, Rocks are thrown to one side and black sand, gold, mud and quicksand washed over a 100â€"foot specially designâ€" ed sluice. The water carries the mud at a 25â€"nileâ€"anâ€"hour specd. Their experiments show that the‘ sluice will casily wash 1.5G0 yards, or 4.500,CC0 pounds of subsoil daily. They calculate that the gold retrieved would‘ be worth $600. They believe that tne‘ sluice can be spceded up to handlcl 3,000 yards daily and thus increase the profit, l Bard‘s and Leaming‘s calculations do not include the possibility of finding nuggets or diamonds. also known to be in the glacial subsoil.

The sluice was developed by King C. Bard, a Grand Rapids, Mich., mining engineer, and Fred P. Leaming, a Purâ€" due University mechanical enginecring graduate. It is a newly developed sluice that engineers say will profitably wash gold from the glacial subsoil. The Morgan county subsoil is known to contain gold in small quantities, and the engineers believe that their machine will wash ecnough dirt daily to make a profit.

Mr. Lang pointed )9 out that only 3 of the company‘s 10 To the south of the shaft a crosscut in the Ist level interseceted a parallel ore zone, which gave car samples of $1.92 a ton over 4 ft. while channel samples on the east and west walls of the crosscut gave vailues of $7.35 over 3A ft. and $7.79 over 4 ft. respectively. Chip samples on the west wall here gave much higher values, running up to $87.85 over 4 ft., and this zone will be drifted on after crosscuts are comâ€" pleted. Twentyâ€"three diamond drill holes put down in the Broulan ore zone south of the Pamour boundary outlined a body estimated to contain about 600,000 tons of ore to a depth of 450 ft. averazing £8.25 a ton uncut value, and $7 a t on after visible gold had been taken out. Crosscutting to date on the three upper levels has shown conditions that comâ€" pared favourably with surface results, Mr. Lang stated, but thorough samplâ€" ing will be required to determine the grade of the ore. ~Geology and condiâ€" tions appear similar to those found in the contact zone on the Pamour ant Hallnor properties, and ore is very much like that of the Hallnor southeast oreâ€" body. Visible gold is frequent and chip and car sampling have given somewhat differing results, for that reason. On the 2nd level north crosscut, 24 ft. of ore ran $7.86 in car sampling and $5.10 in chip sampling, while in the 1st level north crosscut, a total of 76.8 ft. ran $3.58 in car sampling and $4.69 in chip sampling. â€"â€" Crosscutting to the north on the 3rd level has not yet reached the ore zone but has exposed quartz stringâ€" ers in the last round and is very close to the indicated extension of the zone.
