SECRETARY DANIELS LATEST PICTURE.
tdent Wilson's Inauguration. Between
Jan. I and March 4. 1913, President
Taft dispatched number Of smaller
warships to Mexican and Central
American waters. Immediately Mr..
Wilson became president turmoil al
most throughout Central America and
Mexico began to develop into open
warfare.
No sooner had a few ships been dis
patched to the east and west coasts of
Mexico than trouble began In Venezu-
ella. A revolution over in the western
part Of Venezuela. said to have been
instigated by General Cipriano Castro,
former president and dictator of that
country, got well under way before the
Washington authorities took cogni-
zance of it. At once two warships
were dispatched to the Venezuelan
coast Almost at the same time the
cork popped from the bottle the Taft
administration had closed up in Mica
ragua. and 1t was necessary to send
warships to the east and west coasts
Of Nicaragua. also to maintain the de-
tachment of marines at Managua. the
capital Of Nicaragua.
Hardly had the anchors on the YES
sells ordered to Nicaragua been hoisted
when a loud explosion was heard in
Santo Domingo. A revolution had bro
ken out there for the second time in
less than year. Down to Dominican
waters rushed two gunboats. Upon
their arrival it was learned that in the
adjoining republic, Haiti, revolution
also was under way, and wireless Or
ders sent two cruisers scurrying down
there
The details of this service will be
laid before congress this winter when
the navy department is called upon to
report the operations Of the fleet in an
effort to obtain additional ships and
men. 1t is the purpose of Secretary
Daniels to inform congress that the
long service Of the ships in tropical and
semitropical waters necessitated the
placing of several other vessels in re-
serve because Of the insufficient num-
ships. He will tell congress the navy
is short now something like $4,000 en-.
listed men and 100 officers and that in
a year from now if no increase is al
lowed the navy will be short about
$4,000 men and about IT'S officers.

ADMIRALTY.
m1ral Jellic0e's feet intends to restrict
tts activities to blockading the North
sea and keeping the Atlantic and other
oceans clear Of enemy vessels.
Within six months the lists Of the
royal navy will be augmented by six
super-Dreadnoughts and eight battle
cruisers from its yards at Davenport
and Portsmouth alone All Of these
ships will be equipped defensively and
extensively more powerfully than any
men-of-war Of their respective classes
now af1oat. At least one Of the super
Dreadnoughts, for example, has an ar
rangement of turrets which is quite
new and which permits big caliber
guns to be fired broadside and straight
ahead with equal facility. Probably all
of that class have the same equipment.
No fewer than 1900 men are employ
ed night and day at the Davenport sta
ton, and there are always some 5000
sailors and marines on guard there
against attack from without or within
(which latter refers to the very real
peril Of espionage.
Recently in the house of commons
Winston Churchill, first lord Of the ad-
miralty, stated that Great Britain
could lose SUPER every
month for twelve months without her
speriority over the German navy being
affected. even If during that period
Germany suffered the loss Of not q sim
gle ship.
1t is easy to understand the first
lords meaning when one realizes that
within six months there will be six
super ready to 60 out of
Plymouth and Portsmouth harbors
into the battle line.
Stories from war correspondents in
northern France have already men
toned the fact that British naval guns
have been used on land in siege oper-
atoms against the Germans. Therefore
there can be little harm in disclosing
the fact that at present a very large
number Of men are engaged constantly
at Davenport in turning twelve, thir-
teen and even fifteen inch battleship
guns into siege howitzers
This operation is performed by de-
taching the gun from its turret. cut
ting down it's muzZle and mounting It
on an artillery carriage of special de-
sign and great strength. Owing to the
royal navy's superfuity of big naval

enemy's complement.

THE COPPER MARKET
EXPORTS FORA week
BIG SLUMP IN EXPORT TRADE ON
ACCOUNT OF WAR-sTATIs-
TICS FOR THE YEAR.
New York SUM-

Eleven and a half cents pound
marks the bottom to date of electro
lytic copper sales in quantity by pro-
ducers. Transactions have been book
ed below this level, but they have been
exceedingly small and generally by
dealers. Producers but seldom figure
their copper sales on a cash basis. the
usual method being to compute pay
ment in 30 days at delivery point
against New York or refinery delivery
when considering cash business. The
difference, made up of freight and In
terest, usually amounts to about is
cent per pound.
Cash sales have been made during
the past few days at II 3-S cents
pound, which about equals the In
cent 80 day delivered quotation.
The Sun has learned Of some fair
export business pending, which may
actually develop into orders early in
the coming week. There also exists
domestic demand but not to the ex-
tent Of the foreign queries.
Freight room for copper has become
scarce, owing to big demand for other
cargoes. This accounts for the slump
in clearances from 100000 pounds to
100000 pounds during the past week.
Copper Statistics.
Related figures Of the United States
geological survey covering the year
1913 contain interesting statistics not
heretofore made public. The mine
production of copper during the year
was 1,253,56s,727 pounds, while the
smelter output was 1,224,484, 098
pounds. The refinery yield during the
same period was 1,652,29O,541 pounds,
which included 37,222,759 pounds of
copper from secondary sources not
considered in the figures Of the Copper
Producers association.
In addition to the 9O,3S5, 402 pounds
Of refined copper in stock on January
l, 1914, there was reported as at the
ismelters, in transit to refiners and at
refineries 247,7S9,s11 pounds which the

l105,497,6s3 pounds stock and 274,072.-

year.
