SUMMARY
OF METAL
MARKETS

COPPER-The lull in demand con-
tinues and prices have fallen off
slightly indicating that the excite
ment of the last few weeks has faded
away, which is fortunate develop
ment rather than the opposite. In
crease in domestic consumption is
expected, due to the riches coming in
to the United States from sales of
war munitions. In fact. it is hard
to say how an expansion in our in
ternal business can be avoided.
LEAD-A good inquiry has devel-
oped from ammunition manufacture
ers and the price has advanced to
4.30, taking most of the small pro-
ducers by surprise. yesterday, June
/, the price for lead sharply advanc-
ed to s4.75, indicating some sudden
turn, the nature of which we are not
as yet advised.) The outlook for lead,
therefore, looks to be particularly
bright at the present time.

AVOID WEEDS is
ADVICE OF EXPERT
United Press.

United Press.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June p
More important than killing weeds
says the agricultural department in
a recent pronouncement, is to avoid
having weeds to kill. Such evidence
is made possible by observing the fol
lowing principles: l.. Prevent weeds
from going to seed on the farm. ?.
Prevent weed seeds being brought TO
the farm. 8. In the case of peren-
nial weeds, prevent them from making
top growth, and thus finally starve
out the underground parts.
Annual weeds live only one year,
maturing their seed and dying. Bic
ennial weeds live two years, during
the first year they grow rather slow
ly, producing usually a tap root and
a rosette of leaves close to the ground
but the second year they send up
flower stems that produce seeds and
then die. As the biennial and the an
nual weeds propagate themselves by
seeds alone it is necessary to OBJ
serve only the first two of the prin-
ciples stated above in their control
Perennial weeds, on the other hand,
produce each year underground parts,
which live over the next year and pro.
duce top growth. These weeds propo,
gate themselves by their underground
parts as well as by their seeds, and
even if they are prevented from going
to seek, keep on growing. In deal
ing with perennial weeds, therefore,
is is necessary to observe all three
principles.

CLEVELAND MEN TO

CLEVELAND, o., June 2.-Three

compass carried by a sailor on the
schooner Atlantic when she sank
after collision, nearly fifty years

Barney McGroder, one of the old

owner of the compass, will head the
expedition, to be financed by Captain
J. D. Stanton, head OF the South
Shore Wrecking company. Stanton,
McGroder and Tom Moreau, diver

Vicountess Helmsley, one of the most
prominent workers, who today ex-
pressed her views ON the question.
ut is necessary to set up a new
social machine. That existing for
years is not capable of dealing with
such problem as this. There should
be some law TO allow the girl to
attach responsibility to the father of
the child before 1t is born.
"Ihe best thing in this emergency
will be for the father and mother to
be assisted to form home when it
becomes possible. Assistance might
also be given the girls by n school
of mothers. My last word would be
assist these unfortunate girls, but
do not glorify them and allow them
to think they have done fine thing
for the nation. Do not taboo them,
but don't make heooines of Them "
The Bishop Of Oxford said today:
Let us do all we can, with all the
force at our control to deal with the
evil with kindness and without undue
publicity. We have part to play in
this universal battle"
Mrs. Mary Drew, daughter of the
famous w. f.. Gladstone said:
"The cases of the unmarried moth
ers should be carefully and individ-
ually dealt with locally, the cases sift-
ed and differentiated. 1t is folloy to
place all of them in one class. All
life is sacred, and the younger and
Trailer it is the more lovingly It
should be tended"
Scores of others high in the So
cial life Of England have commented
similarity publicly on the question.
Authorities on English law quote
the statutes that to legitimatize these
soldier marriages" if parliment
should take such step, would be con-
trary to all traditional principles of
common law in the British Isles.

WHAT WAR MOVES MEAN.
{ By j. W. 7. Masonl

written for the United Press)
NEW YORK, June 2.-The furious
attacks being made on Lord Kitchener
by English newspapers, exhibit that
dominant factor in the British char
acter which has made the United
Kingdom the cradle of Europen liber-
ties. In the long history of England
there have always been men willing to
risk their fortunes or their lives to
combat any enroachment by the over
men upon the popular liberties. This
trait is as ineradicable in English
men as it is in Americans. No crisis
ever arises in. Anglo -Saxondom, en-
dangering democracy, but that dem
ocratic leader arises to give battle
The criticism directed against Lord
Kitchener was inevitable from the day
of his appointment as minister of
war His temper is too autocratic,
his methods have always been too
dictatoriai, his contempt of public
opinion is too real for him to remain
muster OF democracy.
(, 1t is curious fact that the pro-
tests against Kitchener's dictatorship
did not arise among English radicals.
Lord Northcliffe, the great newspaper
proprietor, who first brought the
charges of dereliction against Kitch-
ener, is a conservative in politics. The
I opIo,, IN dfca1 ,,oncr- tho na;1,, Nov-s
and the Chronicle, are supporting
Kitchener This circumstance is due
to the extremely partizan character
of the British press. Lord Kitchener
was appointed to power by radical
government and the official radical
newspapers must defend him, there
fore, until his power is officially cur
tailed.
The most important radical news
paper in England, however, is up
holding Lord Northcliffe. This is the
Manchester Guardian, which has a
long and consistent record of fight
ing for the preservation of British
liberties, no matter which party is
in power. The Gurdian's help is of
immense value to Lord Northcliffe at
this time
It negatives the charge of the Lon
don radical press that Lord North
cliffe is seeking only a journalistic
sensation.
The burning of a pile of Lord
Northcliffe's newspapers by members
of the London Stock exchange shows
the financiers' suspicion of democracy
and their faith in the benefits Of
autocratic government. When the
European war broke out, English
thinkers seriouly discussed the possi-
bility of military spirit akin to the
Prussian arising in Great Britain.
While the British people We're proclaim
ing that they were fighting the bat
tie of Democracy there was undoubted
feeling among many observers that
democracy might not be as strong m
