II has been said that We may gauge
the civilization OF a country by the
quality of sulphuric acid it consumes.
The total output of this acid is now
about 5000, 900 tons, according to the
fourth edition of Prof g. Lunge's
realise on it's manufacture. AT least L.
O0O.0 900 tons a year have been made in
Germany and that country has been
importing about 100, 900 tons besides.
Sulphuric acid is made principally from
iron pyrites. but also from zincblende.
1t is essential in the manufacture OF
high explosives. but there is scarcely a
process of manufacture into which 1t
does not enter. 1t is said that there Is
no branch OF chemical technology that
has been more thoroughly developed
than that of the manufacture OF sui
phuric acid, but so keen is the COM
petition that improvements are taking
place all the time,

London. May 15.-For the first
time in the past six months the
authors of the German and
French official announcements
on the progress of war find them
selves in agreement. The Ger
man communication admits the
truth of the more important
claims made by General Joffre,
the French commander in chief,
as to the great successes won by
the French between La Bassee
and Arras. III this attack can be
pushed home, the consequences
will be still more marked, in the
opinion of British military com
mentators, who are claiming to-
day that a little further advance
by the French will open a con-
spicuous gap in the German line, a
development which will necessi-
tate the falling back of the Ger
mans on a wide front.
To the north OF La Bassee the British
are doing little more than holding
their own, but at the same time they
are keeping great masses of Germans
engaged, troops who otherwise would
be available against the French Of
fenSive.
Found Weak Spot.
The Germans appear to have made
the mistake of hurting their greatest
strength against the British positions.
The ever increasing strength of h
British forces nassing on the Belgian
front evidently led the Germans to an
ticipate a strong English attack, weak
and gave General Joffre his opportu-
nifty. The Germans also have weak
ened their western armies to strength
Ell their forces operating in conjunc-
ton with the Austrians in western Ga
licia.
Arras is said to be progressing with
almost unbelievable fury, and at the
conclusion of the terrific fight at Notre
Dame De Lorrette, both sides were
nearly exhausted. The French official
statement today records further gains
northern France have been CONSOLE
dated by the troops of the republic.

slams would appear to be developing
counter strokes both on the west
Galician front and In Bukowina, M
they claim initial successes, but mill
tary men here are careful of committing
themselves on the outcome of these
activities, pending further develop
ments.
The hint by Lord Haldane Of the
possibility Of CONSUMPTION has been in
terpreted in some quarters as mean
ing there is now less confidence that
the war will be over by fall.
The resignation of the Italian cabinet
has konplussed the European public,
but we'll informed political observers
think i>only a move in the game and
that the final development will be the
advent of Italy on the side Of the allies.
Advices from the Dardanelles. as
conveyed from sources favorable to
the allies, say the French and British
forces are continuing to gain in the
land fighting. although it is conceded
the decisive phase has not beer
reached. One British correspondent
asserts the whole coast line Of CALI
poll peninsula is in the hands Of the
allies.
