lining cargoes Of cotton, where, ac-
cording to the London newspapers.
copper for Germany has been found
concealed within the bales Of cotton.
A number of particularly heavy bales
are selected at random from the car
go, and photographed by .x-ray, which
reveals the presence OF any foreign
substance. h
Germany for several years has been
the United States, heaviest customer
in copper. Trade authorities here
give Germany's annual consumption
Of this metal as 256, 900 tons, while
Great Britain comes next with 49,
600 tons. <
Germany's great industrial prog
ress in recent years; with her vast
military preparations account for her
largely increased use Of copper. Thir-
teen tons Of the metal are required
for million rounds Of small arms
ammunition.
More than half the worlds copper
comes from the United States. In
1918, out Of a total world production
of about one million tons, the United
States furnished $4,000 tons. of
which nearly 400 900 tons were ex-
ported to Europe. Germany's own
production is about $4,000 tons a
year. F6ztl
{ The Telegraph, discussing the
question Of contraband copper, says:
I'VE learn that Italy imported 11,-
600 tons in September and October
this year. against 5000 tons last
year; that Holland imported $500
tons against 600; that Norway i'm
ported 5.400 tons against nothing at
all the previous year. ;ItSmay. be. Of
course, that these. countries are get
ting from America what they used to
obtain in a manufactured form from
Germany; but when we find Italy's
total consumption of copper in 1918,
only 81 900 tons, and that in. Septem-
Der and October she was importing
at the rate Of $4,000 tons per year,
there is a strong ground for belief
that 1t was being smuggled into a
belligerent country"
