DEMAND FOR COPPER ABROAD

Lack of food for human beings in any of the
belligerent nations would go far toward bringing
the war to close, and lack of food for big guns
and for rifles would have like effect. The projec
tiles and cartridges which the means of carry
ing the conflict have copper entering to a
greater lesser degree into their composition 1t
is upon the abundance the scarcity OF this metal
among the belligerents that the duration of the
war to some extent depends.
Great Britain has become suspicious of shipments
of copper made in neutral and British vessels te
Swedish ports These vessels have accordingly
found the British prize court to be their destina-
ton, instead of the points to which their cargoes
had been consigned. Since the demand for copper
has all of sudden grown greater than ever before
in Sweden the British assumption is that the
requirements not those of neutral manufactur-
ers, but of German munition producers seeking to
procure their copper supplies by way Of Scan
dinavia
That the need of copper is urgent in Germany is
evidenced by comparison of figures which show
that although Germany produces annually 10000
tons of copper and Austria 1000, the metal is at
present being used in the manufacture of munitions
of war in these empires at the rate of 10000 tons
year.
position. This alloy instead of being constituted of
three parts of copper to two of zine, ordinarily
is made up of three of the former to but one of the
latter Since million cartridges contain thirteen
tons of copper, and inasmueh cartridges daily
fired by the millions throughout Europe, it can
readily be that the metal is used in no incon
siderable quantities.
The suggestion has been made that Germany need
fear no copper famine since the many monuments
in public places having that element in their COM
position would be sufficient if converted into mu-
ntions of war, to oppose the empires foes for
length of time. 1t unlikely that the Germans
will be driven to that extremity, but if they are
they will merely be utilizing the records of past
gories in efforts to win fresh victories which may
be commemorated by other monuments in the
future

Veterans Final Parting

friendship formed at Gettysburg
in 1863, and renewed at the time of
the great anniversary fifty years lat
er, was broken Wednesday night when
Timothy H. Edwards, Confederate
veteran died at the home of his daugh-
ter in Baltimore, according to the
Gettysburg Times" Mr.. Edwards
was one of Pickett's men and, at the
time of the charge, fell into the hands
of members of the f25th New York.
After the excitement of the charge
had cleared away and order was in
part restored, Edwards was picked up
by William P. Hagadorn, of the New
York regiment, which was stationed
on Hancock avenue, just south of the
Bryan house. An immediate friend
ship sprang up between the two and
they spent as much time together as
conditions Immediately following the
battle would allow. This was very
short at best, the movements of the
troops taking the New Workers ON
their way.

Separated For Fifty Years

Neither of the veterans heard of
the other for a full half century, but
both were in Gettysburg for the ami
versary in July, and each came with
the express purpose of finding out
whether or not the other was alive
Great was their joy when they met,
and they were inseparaole during the
time of the celebration. So deep did
their friendship for each other become
that Mr.. Edwards, who was at that
time living elsewhere, decided to make
his home in Baltimore that he might
enjoy the association of Mr.. Hagadorn.
The story of the two men was well
known in Baltimore where it was
rare thing to see the one without the
other. They spent most of their time
together recounting the days and deeds
of the Civil war. Mr.. Hagadorn was
greatly grieved when he was told of
his friend s death. Mr.. Edward s body
was taken to Lancaster and interment
was made in White Marsh cemetery,
that city. yesterday morning.

Iron Cross For Girl In Teens


Both the iron cross and the medal
for life saving decorates the breast OF
Fraulein Aust, a girl still in her teens
and native of Bochum, Germany.
When the war broke out, Miss Aust,
like many other girls, experienced the
desire to join the Red Cross. She knew
her parents would object, so she OBJ
tanned permission from them to visit
relatives at Muenster, but instead Of
proceeding there she went to a Red
Cross training home and was soon
drafted to the eastern front as nurse.
There her bravery on the battlefields
of Poland, where she tended the
wounded under fire, attracted attention
from her superiors who reported in
stances of her courage to Field Mar
shal Won Hindenburg. The commander
in-chief thereupon decided to award
her the Iron Cross which he himself
pinned ON her blouse. A short time aft.
erward Miss Aust, while on the Sile-
sian frontier, jumped into the swollen
river Oder and saved two children
from drowning. For this heroic deed
she was given the life saving medal.
She returned home at the end of Jan
uary for short rest and gave COM
plete surprise to her parents who had
all the time believed she was with her
relatives in Muenster.
