ITALY AND coPPLR.
Holding Up Imports Damaging to Ag,
ricuItura Interests.

A Rome special to the New York
Sun says Englands prohibition of the
importation of copper and nitrate of
soda into Italy threatens to damage
agriculture seriously. Copper is used
extensively for the manufacture of sui
phate of copper, which is recognized
remedy for the disease of the vine
known as pernospera. In wine
growing country like Italy the con-
sumption of sulphate of copper is enor-
nous; 1t is roughly estimated here at
about $4,000 tons year.
Only about $4,000 tons is imported
direct from England, the remainder
being manufactured in Italy This
year hardly any copper has been i'm
ported and as a result the sulphate of
copper available is insufficient. Brit
ish exporters refuse to send copper to
Italy as they suspect that instead of
being used by wine growers it would
be sent on to Germany and Austria
for the manufacture of cartridges, so
that 1t is feared this years production
of wine will be seriously reduced.
Nitrate of soda is used in the spring
as an artificial manure to force the
cultivation of wheat More than co.
600 tons is utilized and as a rule 1t IS
imported from Hamburg or Antwerp
Next years wheat crop will fall short
of the average unless nitrate of soda
is available.
No doubt If Italy joins the allies no
restrictions will be made on imports,
but in the meantime, as Germany and
Austria are offering much higher prices
than are offered by wine growers and
farmers, the temptation of Italian i'm
porters Is great

Rich Values at Depth.
The regeneration that has taken
place in Goldfeld in the past 40 days
has now reached the stage where it is
beyond conjecture. The more recent
discoveries in the camp have demon
/ strated that values will go to a much
greater depth than was ever anticipat-
ed and that their richness will con-
tinue, making Goldfield the Rand of
America. Heretofore it has always
/ been the theory that the ore did not
extend through the shales to the depths
below but was all contained in the por-
phyry overflow Of the camp. At first
the Jumbo Extension went into the
shales and discovered some enormous
high grade bodies of ore. This was
quickly followed by the Atlanta get

Prices.
The average price of copper for 1914
showed a decrease from that Of the
preceding year. being about 1875 cents
pound, compared with 1875 cents In
1913. After the outbreak of the Eur
opean war copper sold considerably
below the yearly average, but toward
the close of the year the price showed
notable Improvement.
Leading Copper Producing States.
Arizona continued in first place
among the copper producing states, but
had a notably decreased output. The
blister copper production for 1914 VIII
probably not exceed 3S0,000,00O pounds
compared with 404,O00,000 pounds for
1918.
! The production from Montana was
the smallest for many years and prob
ably did not greatly exceed the produce
tlon of 1898, which was 206,O0O,00t
pounds, the smallest output made by
the state since 1895. In 1913 Montana
produced 2S5, 100000 pounds.
Michigan, with production of about
160,O00,OOO pounds, made slight gain
over 155,70O,000 pounds produced in
1918, but was still much below the nor

exceed 6O,OOO,O0O pounds for 1914
New Mexico made an increased pro-

The copper production of the United
States in 1914 will show marked de-
crease from that Of 1913, according to
figures and estimates collected by b.
S. Butler of the United States geologi-
cal survey. Reports have been re-
ceived from all plants known to pro-
duce blister copper from domestic
ores and refined copper AT an aver
age price of about 1875 cents pound,
the 1914 output has a value OF $751;
100000, compared with $1S9,795,0OO for
the 1913 output The large decrease in
production in 1914 was due to curtail-
ment of production during the latter
port Of the year on account Of the re-
duction in tonnage exported to Europe
Smelter Production.
The figures showing smelter produce
ton from domestic ores represent the
actual production Of most OF the COM
panies for IL months and an estimate
of the December output. The Novcm-
Der figures for few companies were
not available, and these companies
furnished estimates for the last two
months of the year. According to the
statistics and estimates received, the
output Of blister and lake copper was
1,129,O 900 pounds in 1914, against
1,22l,4S4.00O pounds in 1913.
Refined Copper.
The statistics and estimates indicate
that the output of refined copper from
primary sources, domestic and foreign,
for 1914 was 1,49S,OOO,OOO pounds, com
pared with 1,G15.O67OOO pounds in 1918.
Imports.
According to the bureau Of foreign
and domestic commerce. the imports OF
pigs, ngots, bars, etc, for the first II
months of 1914 amounted to 1877 ,433,676
pounds, and the copper contents OF ore
matter and regulus amounted to 81
SiS S66 pounds, a total import of 2S4,-
7S2,542 pounds This compares with an
import for the u months of 1918 of

At the beginning Of 1914 there was
about 9o,000OO0 pounds of refined cop

ASIA TO EUROPE'S AID9

Will Japan send AN army to Europe
to fight Germany? At the first of the
war, nothing seemed farther off. With
Germans now on French and Belgian
soil, some of the European nations
look at the matter differently. At
first it was confidently expected,
once the great Russian army got un-
der way, that they would march d.
rectly to the German capital; but now
it seems that the road from the east
is about as difficult as the road from
the west
Because of the present conditions
the French newspapers have set out to
educate the French mind to the idea
of asking Japanese aid. At first the
plan seemed ridiculous, but soon all
the French newspapers were advocat-
ing it. Only one writer of note is
opposed to the idea and he asks only
for a postponement. Even Georges
Clemenceau, the former premier and
maker and unmaker of many pre-
miers, has taken up the cry for Japa-
nese Intervention.
This stand has been an awful blow
to the French pride, even as was the
alliance with Russia. But for the sake
of defeating Germany, France will
now do anything. France would
glory in humbling Germany by her
self, but realizes that she is not
strong enough and is willing to make
any sacrifice.
The French realize that Japan
would ask a great price for furnish
ing aid to Europe. The only trouble
seems to be just what she will ask.
But cost what this may, say the
French journalists. it costs more TO
support German armies on French
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1915-02-22

soil. The more soldiers that can be
hurled against Germany the quicker
the war will end.
But to bring Japanese aid
would cause far-reaching political
complications. 1t has been suggest
ed that Japan might ask for tarif-
torial compensation-that she viii
ask to retain for all time the Ger
man possessions in the Pacific, In
which event she would be in control
of every approach to the Philippines.
1t seems to be an accepted fact In
France that Japan is serious rival
to the United States and that Uncle
Sam would look with disfavor on any
increase of Japanese influence. Thus
it is admitted that call for Japa-
nese aid under these conditions would
seriously displease the United States.
Another consequence of importing
a Japanese army would be that II
might amount to an admission or
Japan as one of the world powers, and
mean that her opinion on world poll
tics would have to be consulted
thereafter. This would be great
concession to a nation that a few de-
cades ago was either unknown or
looked upon as distinctly inferior.
Just what difference there would be
in the attitude of England toward the
matter, because of Japan's recent
aggressive attitude in China and Man
churia, is not known, for England is
remaining suspiciously silent. 1t is
argued that on land the English have
done only a small part of the work of
keeping the Germans in check, and
that they ought to contribute by
bringing in the Japanese forces.
France already has sent every able
bodied man and cannot do more.

CARE OF DISABLED SOLDIERS.

France and Germany already have
begun to teach their disabled soldiers
trades at which they will be able TO
work in spite of their injuries. The
sum paid by this country in pensions
last year was higher than ever. And
The last great war is half century
past. Possibly the United States
could make some capital out of this
system being adopted by Europe's
warning nations. The latter seem to
develop the most practical ideas in
war and its many complex resultant
problems.
