most need it least. A woman living

ENORMOUS CONSUME
ton OF SHELL BY
MODERN ARTILLERY
s(Associated Press Correspondence

S(Associated Press Correspondence
Berlin, July 3.-The astonishing
shell consuming power Of modern
artillery is discussed by General Helm
rich Rohne in an interview published
by the Vossische Zeitung.
In the war Of 1870" says General
Rohne. no German battery fired more
than 200 rounds in one battle from
each of its guns. A Russian battery
fired 52a rounds for each of its guns
at the battle of Tuschitschao. The
use of ammunition in the present war
puts all these figures in the shade.
During the whole Franco-German
war, the German artillery fired ST.
900 rounds. tenth part of which was
used in the battle of st. Privat. In
the Russo japanese war one side used
a total Of 954 900 shells.
ION March 10 German headquarters
announced that the enemy during the
preceding fortnight had fired off an
immense amount of heavy artillery OF
its own and of American manufacture.
often using more than 100000 shells in
twenty-four hours This is three
times as much as was used in the bat
tie of St Privat on a front almost
twice as long The number of shots
that were fired at a yard Of front was
six times as large as in the year 1870
in the hottest battle of the war.
Nearly 100000 shells were fired at
the north of Arras on June Il. This
uaS almost as much as the whole fire
Of the German artillery in 1870. On
the German side we used our am
munition more sparingly, because the
American factories cannot add TO our
supplies. How costly the lombard
ment of Arras was for the English
may be gathered from the fact that
the very smallest gun shoots a pro-
jectile costing at least SIS. :.

Dec. II the Australian government

controlled. The question Of these
contracts is now being considered"
Before the war Great Britain was

Belgium and France. which extracted
the metal from the Australian ores.
A bill is being put through the Aus
tralian parliament dealing with the ore
supply and releasing the mines from
their German agreements, but some of
the mines are owned by companies in
England and legislation by the Eng
lish government will probably be also
necessary. The main problem. how
ever. is that Of obtaining adequate
smelling capacity. Large increases in
the available smelling resources Of
the United States are expected to re-
lieve the situation partially within a
short time. Ii is said that any new
smelling works which may be built in

4 MODERATE NAVAL
INCREASE BY JAPAN
UNTIL AFTER war
ASSOCIATED Press Corresp ondence)

ASSOCIATED Press Corresp ondence)
Toxic, June 10.-Four super-dread-
noughts, two scout boats, twenty-four
destroyers. eight submarines and one
parent ship for seaplanes-that is the
naval increase program. according to
usually well-informed newspapers.
which will be introduced in the next
session of the Diet. No official state
ment is made by the government but
the public accepts this estimate as
approximately true. The necessary
credits. estimated at 19o,o0o,o00 yen or
s90.0o0,0o0. would be spread over a
period of four years from 1916.
The original plan prepared by the
National Defense Council last year
was understood to have been eight
battleships, eight battle-cruisers, six
scout ships. sixty-four destroyers and
twenty-four submarines during a term
of eight years. This, however, was
greatly modified.
Military authorities are quoted as
saying that it would be better to post
pone naval expansion until after the
present war, as the war will alter
naval tactics and naval construction
to no small degree. However, the
army is not opposed to naval develop
ment.
The program is now in the hands of
Admiral YaShiro minister of marine,
and changes are possible before the
session of the Diet in December.

GUARDING AGAINST
FURTHER INCREASE
IN PRICE OF ZINC
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
London, July -9.-"The whole prob
lem Of increasing the manufacture OF
spelter in the United Kingdom is en-
gaging the immediate attention of his
Majesty's government" declared Mr..
Bonar Law. in behalf Of the govern
ment, in Parliament recently. More
than a score Of questions had been
put to him urging the necessity OF
preventing any further shortage or rise
in price Of zinc, which has advanced
to nearly five times Its value before
the war.
Strange as 1t may seem in the face
Of the urgent demand for zinc in MAX
ing cartridge cases and other NUM-
ton. the output Of the British works
since the beginning Of the war has ac-
tually been smaller than normal
Several plants have had a number of
furnaces idle and the productive
capacity Of the others has been only
about half what it was before the war.
The main reason, 1t is said, is the
withdrawal Of skilled labor by enlist
ment. At the same time it is adj
mitted that. the British plants are old
fashioned, lacking the numerous labor
saving devices which have been adopt
ed in Germany and the United States
during the past seven or eight years.
Estimates have now been prepared
for the government for the erection Of
new smelling works Of the latest type
in this country. capable of dealing
with two hundred million pounds Of
concentrates q year and producing
about 10000 tons Of zinc. The plant
could begin to make deliveries within
nine months. The. cost Of erection
would be about 81, 900, 900.
A knotty question in connection with
the speiter situation il provided by
the outstanding contracts entered into
by the Australian mines with German
houses. As explained by Mr.. Bonar
Law:
I am not aware that there is any
Gefman-owned spelter in Australia.
Australia, however, produces large
Quantities Of zinc ores and concen-
trates. These were not manufactured
into spelter in Australia. but before
