Pig Iron Shortage

Pittsburg, December 6.-CSpecial) )-The upward trend of the steel production has been set back by the railrsad embargo on eastern shipments. The blockade of freight has caught commodities entering of furnaces have had to be banked. Car
 shortage is becoming a more serious menace. Altogether, the steel industry Is facing new conditions, and prices are ad- vancing rapidly. Manufacturers are get ting whatever they demand, and deliv- cry is the only question.
 The more serious question confronting consumers is the scarcity of pig iron. The shortage is not felt as much now as it will be later, when cold weather of the country's furnaces is the largest
 in their history, vet the supply is in-
 adequate. Not only is there a scarcity of ore, but coke shipments are so ham,
 pered that many furnaces are working
 on supplies from week to week.
 Iron ore will be advanced from 7S cents to S1 a ton on next years con-
 tracts. Lake freight rates will be higher
 There is a general scramble for charters
 and most of the available bottoms have been secured by the larger shippers Spectators who have been holding iron have let go some Of their holdings. but as the demand becomes insstent higher figures are demanded for the remaining tonnage Speculators will make fabulous fortunes out of their pig iron invest ments, some of which were bought as low as SIP and for which they are now
 offered $20 It would not be surprising if steel making iron reached S30 before next spring.
 Sales of Bessemer iron in small lot. have been made as high as $20 aton Valley furnaces are quoting SIP for Bes semer, which was tue latest price fol l 3500 tons. Basic is listed at $16, but can | not he bought for less than S17, and thi! price will not continue long. There i! an increased demand for foundry iron Foundries are being filled with order 1 and there is rush of meters for meta which they failed to order previous tt | the boom. Foundry No. has advanced | to S14 Birmingham, at southern furnaces and no orders are solicited The soutl also has a shortage of cars to contend | with.

 The jury in the case of Jack Edwards, charged with the murder of Louis Sims, failed to reach an agreement standing to in favor of acquittal, and Judge Potter discharged them last night. How ever, rather than undergo another tria or run the risk of conviction on second trial, Edwards pleaded guilty to man slaughter and was sentenced to one veal in the Kinds county jail.
 S. A. D. Greaves, one of the best known men in Kinds county, died at his home in the northern suburbs of Jackson last night and was buried today. MT

they can meet. Probably that cannot be done until either the central powers or the allies have met with a crushing de-
 feat or are utterly worn out. Neverthe- less, MT. Ford, this banker said, repre- sents in an eccentric and impracticabe way the universal hope that peace may be speedily established. There is, how ever, no sympathy with MT. Ford for his hostility to preparation on the part of the United States so that in due time we may be fully fortified to defend ourselves against aggression and to maintain the national honor. The banker said that MT. Ford would have had better acknowl- edgment of the fact that he is not apart from those who desire peace if 1t be per-
 manent and just had he not also allied himself with those who are opposed to any preparation with intent to perfect our methods and means of defense.

AMERICA DOES LITTLE

America has sung her own praises so long and so loud relative to Belgium" said Dr. Bainbridge, "and has done so little to help poor. stricken little Bel gium when the truth is known. She has not done even from an economic point of view her share for all the money spent by the Belgians for provisions, etc, which have been purchased in America. and she has not ever given her a proper percen- tage of the money spent. America has sent Belgium some little money and some old clothes, but of all the money used by Belgium for Belgium aid, five-sixths of it was made by Belgium herself"
 The Society of Friends in England have have undertaken an unique kind of help and a practical, sane thing, it is proving to be-thousands and thousands of Bel gians are scattered into Holland, so near as to be accessible, but families are scat tered and broken, possibly never to meet again. The family tie is nevertheless alive and this Society of Friends is build ing in Holland for the Belgian refugees little houses in which they establish fam iies no matter how remote the relation, as long as there is Sinship. This is the first step to re-establish the family. The next step, in the colonization. is the neigh borhood group: if three or more families come from, say, Antwerp, they are placed in near vicinity and called the Ant werp colony on Antwerp street, this giv- ing some home atmosphere and com munity interests to the aeart-broken peo- pie of an outraged nation. These little homes cost $450 piece, and so far only a very few have been erected, though hun dreds are needed One of the most in teresting features of the work is the fact that these homes may be taken back to Belgium when the war is over, so as to be a more permanent shelter. for when a family moves into the little home, it be- , comes its property.

BELGIUM REFUGEES

Dr. Bainbridge says the most pitiful and probably the greatest suffering of the Belgian refugee, and one that should ap- peal to the whole world is the suffering from deprivation and want of the fam lilies that have followed the interned pris- oners. The interned prisoner is in sense not a prisoner of war, but soldier that has been found in Holland and is kept there and cannot leave the prison and is not allowed to fight.
 "F'or instance" Dr. Bainbridge ex- plained, should an Englishman be in an aeroplane over Holland and the machine should break and he fall, he should be arrested and become an interned prisoner. The families of these soldiers, old mothers and young mothers, little children and babies. have followed their dear ones and camped outside the prison gates. There are between 65,000 and 8O,OO0 of these fol- lowers in Holland alone. Their suffering is horrible, and they will have to be helped.
 "The Belgians singled handed. with a wonderful committee, have forced the Germans to send them the crop and keep them from starving.
 No matter how we feel in this terrible war; said Dr. Bainbridge. mo matter how neutral or how pro-German or how broadly we are. all the civilized world is unhappy over the pitiful condition of Bel gium today"
 pr. Bainbridge said there was much more to tell of the Belgian situation, and that he could talk and talk and tall, ! about the different phases of the war, but 1 first it was unwise to say too much except about the Belgians. and too much could not be said of them.
 Dr. Bainbridge viii deliver three lee.
 lures in 10 days, on his visit to the wal zone, and he said each of them was te
 treat an entirely different side of the con
 fict.

JUST BACK FROM WAR


 research and work with cancer, and his book on this subject Is considered classic. He is surgeon in the United States navy and a member of the Inter- national Red Cross From this associa- i tion Dr. Bainbridge was sent to Europe and has just returned, having made a survey and report on the hospitals in the war zone It was on the matter of his visit to Europe that our interesting meet 1 ing was based.
 | Dr. Bainbridge was reticent in speaking of the hospitals saying it was unfair as each country had it's particular problem and had to meet it differently; sanitation and housing of the Montenegrin soldier, you could readily see was vastly differ ent from the English, German or French; that the conditions in the trenches were all so different. in different localities, l even in the construction and the life &C., cording to the climate and the soil, that it was impossible to generalize; but he did make some positive statements that
 he was willing to be quoted as saying to the effect that from close observation, he was absolutely certain the war had Just begun, and that it was the most horrible
 conflict from a humanitarian standpoint, ever possible to conceive in the human
 brain It was all we know of it and a million times worse. All the other wars
 in the history of man are a baby play in !: comparison with this titanic conflict.
 He said there is one phase of this sem
 satonal or terrible thing we call the Euro
 pean war that we may write about, cry
 out about, cry it strong and loud and
 long, for it is the core of the heart of the stuation--that is the pitiful condition
 of the Belgians. They are a great people
 and the way they are helping themselves to live and to aid others is an example to
 treasure in the heart of man always.
