WAR ESSENTIALLY
 A COPPER WAR

This has been cailed a gold war moro omphatically Q copper war.
 War can be waged on credit for 9 while, or on 3 silver basis as did Jap- an. But cut of she supply Of ccppor. and sooner or later nowadays a war comos automatically to an end.
 This Is because the red metal en- ters Into the composition in greot. CT or less degree, of nearly an the munitions of war Take. for instance, proiectiles for bis guns. Ronnd the base of each one of these Is q band of copper which, when the gun is fired, expands and grips the interior rifing of the weapon causing the pro iectile to rotate.
 lt also serves another, and a very important purpose. By its expansion at the moment the charge ignites, the explosive gases are held in check. as it were, and forced to expend all but a tiny fraction of their energy in driv- ing the proiectile through the bore of the piece
 If, however. Germany merely want, ed enough copper to enable her to make these bands for her biz sun pro iectiles. she could probably supply Che demand within her own borders-she produces about 25,0OO tons per am. num-or at all events, she would be able to smuggle in enough from pro. fessedly neutral neighbors. But there are other demands for the metal which are far more insistent and notably thot in connection with small arm ammunition. that Is to say rifle car tridges
 These are made of solid drawn brass: no other substance will do be- cause on others are liable to jam in the barrel Now ordinary brass con- .alns three parts Of copper to two Of zinc but the fine brass from which cartridges are made consists of three parts Of copper to one Of zine.
 Experts state that 1S tons are re- oulred for 100000 rounds ol small arm ammunition. Consequently every cartridge contains rather less than half an ounce of copper. One has only to bear these facts In mind, and Go remember also that 1t has been computed that on an average about S0000.0OO of cartridges are being fired daily in the various theatres of war, to realize how absolutely vital it is Go Germany that her imports of copper should not be materially inserierred with lPearsons.)

sravee Not Fluuh
 lt ia not altogether surprising that tho impression should very generally prevail that the Braves, because they won che pennant and got into the worlds series, quit big winners. This is an entirely mistaken idea. As matter of fact President Gaffney did not get even g fair investment upon tho $S6o,00o that tho Boston Club stands him There were two reasons why the Braves profits were but Q mighty small part Of the profits made by the Red sox in 1912 when they won Pho worlds series. or of the profits earned by the New York Giants in any one Of recent years
 The first reason was that Che Bos- ton club was almost hopelesaly in the hole when they started west on July 6, and while the receipts from then on were more than satisfactory there was bis early-season deficit to overcome Then the worlds ser. ies being finished up in four games netter the Braves less money than the worlds series winning club has ever before received out Of the series. Deducting the expenses Of staging the series, expenses that were almost as heavy for the two games played here as in 1912 when the Red sox played five. lhe net profit of the series was hardly worth talking about If the Braves get off to a good start next Spring. President Gaffney ought to clean up a nice wad of money, not. withsianding conditions in the base. bail world at large. But he didn't do 1t In 1915 alr regardless of what some people imagine.

Rltehie eets the seads

To clean up S15O.O0O in six years lis not so worse for poor lad without capital, professional training or busl. ness experience, but that Is the rec ord of San Francisco youth, Geary A. Stelien. For purposes of further Identification, it may be added that this Steffen person operates under the alias Of Willie Ritchie On his
 twenty-fourth birthday-for he was born in San Francisco, February 13, 1S91--young steffen found himself minus tho worlds lightweight title which was his during a brief period of glory. but in full possession Of O comfortable fortune and the American lightweight crown. Just how much of his earnings Willie has saved 1t is impossible to say. but, as ice cream soda is his principal dissipation he probably has enough kaIe to enable him to live in scrnmptuously mrn. ished apartment on the street called Easy
 Willie annexed the lightweight title from Ad. Wolgast, in November, 1912 and lost the worlds championship to Freddie Welsh in London last July. During bis championship career Rit. chic got more than hundred thou sand beans as a reward for his ring labor The fight with Joe Rivers lat San Francisco in July 1913 added Sl9.OOO to Willie for defeating Ad Wolgast in Milwaukee. San Francis co fight fans contributed S17500 to the Ritchie treasury when be defeat- ed Tommy Murphy last April The light with Charley White in Milwaukee in which the Hebrew got the popular decision, boosted Ritchie's income to S1O.00O Willie got S25,OO0 for losing the title to Freddie Welch in London which was some salve. These six bouis brought Ritchie a total of $97. 5OO Minor bouts and theatrical work doubtless will bring Ritchie's total re. celpts for his six years of ring work well above Sf50.0OO. Most of it he has probably salted down In real es. tate. AS a spender Willie isn't any wild and extrayagant Sharkey and he can lossen up little on occasion, but the sporty crowds that follow in the wake of champions have seen mighty little of his coin. The golf links have a greater attraction for Willie than the gay white ways, and when he is thirsty he goes right by the swinging doors and patronizes soda fountain. Be. fore he became famous as boxer, Willie developed his itellcctuals by attending school and his muscle by handling large chunks or coal in his paternaI ancestors coal yard. After graduating from these two institu tlons he entered an autom bile repair shop and after being wised up as to the true inwM.dness of gasoline bug gies, became D demonstration and a salesman While,thus engaged he took part in preliminary bouts at the old Dreamland in San Francisco, but only for the sport and not@with any idea of eyermklng up boxing as a profes' sion

SEWARD PENINSULA
 REINDEER INDUSTRY

Government officials expect to see 1 Seward peninsula the feeding ground of millions of reindeer and to see the day when the exporting of these ani- mals to other parts of the world Will be a really great industry
 At the present time there are lS,694 reindeer on the peninsula and its isl. ands and In all Alaska the number Is approximately 9O.O0O Just outside the peninsula a much greater number are grazing in country which Is trib- utary to Nome.
 An the reindeer of Alaska. inciud- ing those on the peninsula, have been derived rom 9 paltry one thousand animals that were shipped from Siher ia by Dr. Jackson and W. T. Lopp of the government service eighteen years ago. or the one thousand several died on the way and many were killed by dogs before the proper precautions had been developed. Since that time the remaining ones have multiplied at an enormous rate until the one thous- and became nearly two hundred thou sanr About 9O.OO0 have been killed for meat and similar number IS dis uibuted over the territory.
 They multiply more quickly than any other animals of similar kind and the Increase is at least 50 per cent. annually. The average value of the deer is aboul S25 and as some of the natives own large herds of them it is evident that the rearing Of the rein deer will be the ultimate salvation oi the Eskimos.
 The meat of the deer is used at times in Nome but the chief market for years to come will be outside of Alaska. in the populous centers of Che States and elsewhere. At present it is considered the wiser course to keep as many of the deer as possible for the purpose of increasing the supply but in few years 1t is apparent that the animals will increase to number that win make their exportation ne- cesaity. From that time forward the native will be provided with an ex- haustible source of supply for an their wants and the reindeer will al- most certainly become the foundation on which the civilization and self re- lance Of the Eskimo will be built. it seems to be evident that the herding Of the deer wiH cause the natives to develop into an industrious aud com~ fortable people of herds and nocks.
 At the present there are about six reindeer to every native on the pen insula- Nome Nugget)
