discussion at length in congress,
many observers of things maritime
here believe the two new ships pro-

vigorous fight is also certain from
those opposing miltarism, and one
Of the most exciting combats of the
year on the navy building program is
now considered n foregone conclus-
ion.
In the process of preparing his
estimates, Secretary Daniels is re-
eeiving reports from naval attaches
at American embassies and legations
abroad, and also corps of naval
officials assigned as observers among
the European belligerents. The eff
cheney of the dreadnought versus the
submarine, mines and smaller vessels
is the subject of highly scientific
illumination.
Means to immunize the larger
vessels from the thrusts of the under
seas craft are also being studied by
the naval experts. Secretary Daniels
is optimistic that Yankee genius may
solve the question of curbing the sub
marine and extend the already enor-
nous fighting power of the dread
nought 1t is believed, however,, that
if some method coping successfully
with the submarine is found by the
United States navy it will be kept
secret except in the most confidential
quarters.

WEEKLY REPORT OF N Y.
METAL MARK EFT
General.

heHeFdl.
Entire market in the metals has
been dull and uninteresting since the
last report. Meanwhile the consump-
ton for war purposes is going on at
full tilt and new factories are pre-
pairing for the manufacture of muni-
tions.
The steel business continues to
flourish. United States Steel com
pany is now working at about 80
per cent of its ingot capacity.
Copper.
Continual dullness has brought out
concessions in prices, although it is
considered very likely that copper
may experience another decline. There
is no pessimism among producers
and a turn Of the tide is expected
shortly. The increasingly strong po-
sition Of the iron and steel industry
is "A favorable factor for the immediate
future of copper. Another important
factor is the probability that the
British government will, within a few
days, make an arrangement for the
release of standard copper to foreign
refineries on suitable guarantees that
the material will not reach Germany.
Lead.
The market has weakened and has
shown much uncertainty. Certain
dealers are of the opinion, however,
that higher prices may be looked
for soon. The unwillingness of Eng
land to permit the expectation from
her shores Of any of the metals is
favorably regarded, as it may force
other European nations to replen-
ish their stocks from the United
States.
Zinc.
There was a steady decline right
through the week on relatively small
business. A surprising number of the
zinc smelling plants have been re-
vived. Production Of speIter is now
at about 100000 tons per year, with
likelihood of increasing to 100000.
The United States Steel company is
building a large plant at Donora,
Pa, and large supply of Austria
Ian zinc ore has already been con-
tracted for.

EXCHANGE
OPENING

The Durango Exchange and the la
dies rest room met with a large and
enthusiastic reception at the hands OF
the members and their families and
friends last evening, when the house
warming party was held in the big
rooms. Flags, bunting and red and
white crepe paper were used in the
decorating scheme, which, with the
handsome elk and deer heads, the
Navajo rugs, the wall pictures and
the crowd Of handsomely gowned
ladies, all formed a picture of mirth
and happiness that will long be re-
membered by those present In the
basement the bowling alleys were the
center of n living ti.lrong, and the
ladies were given the preference of
course. Here the decoration committee
had stretched bunting and placed flags
until the place looked vastly differ
ent from its customary aspect, and
here, also, the refreshment committees
of the Civic club and the Exchange
had the ice cream and cake served.
And it was well that the upstairs and
basement are Spacious, for they
were crowded as it was. Everyone
was in good humor and congratulate
ing themselves and the city upon the
enterprise shown in starting the Ex-
change and ladies' comfort station.
Under the magnetic spell of the
Drysdale orchestra of seven pieces,
which had kindly donated its ser
vices, the dancing was more animated
than the warm evening would have
ordinarily shown. Manager Matt
Harrington of the Electric Light COM
pany, generously placed two electric
fans at work, which helped some.
Delicious lemon punch was served dur
ing the evening by pretty girls, and
the general air of hospitality was in
fectious to degree.
In every possible place jardiners
of columbines sent their delicate per
fume into the air and lent their beau
tiful coloring to the scene in a very
pleasing way.
Over the big picture of Silverton
were hung two boquets Of the hand
some columhines in recognition of
the neighborly hospitality shown by
our mining metropolis in sending the
flowers down. Sweep peas, daisies and
other flowers also added to the
beauty of the rooms.
II any proof were needed that the
ladies' rest room and the Exchange
are meeting the united approval and
support Of the people Of this district,
last night settled it. The express
sions Of the guests, one and all, were
decidedly complimentary to the direc-
tors in their selection OF the rooms
and their furnishings. New members
were taken in last night and many
more expressed their intention OF
joining the Exchange, as the good
times that will be had are vastly off
set by the modest cost.

WATERWAYS FOR DEFENSE.

While considering ways and means
Tor improving national defense
should this country be attacked by
foreign foe, it is appropriate that we
should look at the situation from
every angle. Naturally, the first
requisite is an adequate navy. There
are other features, however, that are
equally necessary in order to make
the navy effective. Perhaps the
greatest need in this respect is an
aviation corps to act as scouts and to
tx the range for the great guns. No
matter what the result Of other ex-
periments may be in the European
war, the usefulness of the aeroplane
has been thoroughly proven.
But there is still another feature
that is needed to assist the navy in
the defense Of our coast. This is the
ability to move from one part to an
other without being exposed to the
enemy's fire; to be able to shift our
torpedo boats and submarines quick
ly so as to be the most effective in
warding off an attack.
1t has remained for Representa-
i've Moore, Of Pennsylvania, who is
also president of the Atlantic Deeper
Waterways Association, to call atten-
10 the urgent and strategic need Of
developing our inland waterways.
The plan Of the Atlantic Deeper
Waterways Association is to parallel
The Atlantic coast from Boston to
Florida with a system Of canals
linking altogether our various bays
and harbors. The enormous ad-
rantage Of such a chain OF water
ways In handling the fleet in time Of
war is at once apparent.
Perhaps the most important link
IN this waterway would be the pro-
posed ship canal across New Jersey
connecting Raritan bay with the
delaware river. Bv having such q
canal deep enough to accommodate
battleships a feet could be readily
shifted from the defense at New
York to the defense at Philadelphia
or vice versa, including the great
manufacturing districts represented
by these two cities, within few
hours. The shifting of the vessels
In this way would be entirely outside
