partment headquarters on Governors
Island. The new camp for students
and for business and professional men

Captain johnson. chief aide OF Cen

Zens OF prominence. Enthusiasm, he
saws, is pronounced.
The camp may be reached for rail-
road fare OF $50 for the round trip from
ia jacksonville, New Orleans, st. Louis.
or Washington. Many other localities
offered excellent camp sites and gem
sary convenience. But the necessity
OF being near an army post made Fort
ORIethorpe the most practical location.
Here the camp equipment and supplies
are at hand with storage facilities
the regular troops can be maintained
more easily and at less expense, water
and light are under Government con-
troll. and there is a well equipped tar
get range.
The climate az Fort oplethorpe IS ex

CASINO.

The manner in which the German
people have come forward whole
heartedly in support OF the war policy
Of the government is the principal idea
to be gained by the series of motion pic
lures from Germany and the battle
fields of Europe being exhibited at the
Casino Theater under the title of The
Battles OF a Nation The films were
secured by the American Correspondent
rim Company, an organization formed
for the special purpose of securing mo-
ton pictures of the war and which has
maintained corps of camera experts In
Europe ever since the war began.
The pictures that are being shown
here are devoted almost entirely to the
German side of the war and showing
the spirit of the German people, as well
as the soldiers of the Teutonic forces.
Some of the scenes show the attack on
the Russian forces which resulted in the
fall of Warsaw and Lemberg, and many
Of the pictures deal with the attacks on
these places. Many battlefield pictures
are shown, and the destruction of
towns and villages by the Russians and
the Germans through the heavy artil-
lery fire Is brought out vividly.
One set of films shows the hearty re-
sponse Of the German people to the call
for all sorts of metal for use in manu-
featuring munitions. The German gov
ernment asked the people to give up
every metal ornament they owned, and
in some instances the things that were
sacrificed were old family relics, heir
looms and keepsakes. The films will be
shown every day this week, beginning
at l o'clock in the afternoon.

BIG CAINSIN Steel and PIC
iron OUTPUT Last month
Statistics Show Large Increase in Jan
uary Production Over That of De-
cember-Fourteen More Blast Fur
naces in Operation

New York, Feb. 5.-tThe Iron
Are'' saws that since the steel COM
panies were responsible for practically
all of it, the January increase in pig-
iron production gives measure of the
gain in steel works output. Our statis-
tics show total make of 1901 ,421
tons of pig iron last month, against II
515,752 tons in December, gain of
S5,669 tons or 2,763 tons day. The
steel works furnaces made 1,115,944
tons in January, against 1,O34,S02
tons in December, gain of S1,O0O
tons or about per cent.
The total number of furnaces in blast
February was 160, against LAG on
January 1, the Steel Corporation con-
tributing 10 to the increase and the in
dependent steel companies 4. The ca
pacity of all furnaces in blast February
was 56,270 tons day against 4S,-
S4S tons day one month previous. The
Steel Corporation is TO put three addi-
tional furnaces in blast this week
one Lorain and two Shoenberger.
Operations in the Steel Corporation S
plants are now on the basis of nearly
So per cent. of ingot capacity. Its
statement of untitled orders as of Jan
nary 81 is expected to show an in
crease of 10000 to 100000 tons.
The feeling in the steel trade this
week is better, and the larger compa-
nies look for further moderate in.
crease in output in the next six weeks.
The increased ability of the railroads
to get money and its further accumula.
tion are factors in the situation of
which more is heard Rail buying is
still far from normal, but each week
adds to the total. The Chicago Il
Northwestern has placed $4,000 tons;
the Nickel Plate, $500 tons; the Erie,
over 10000 tons, of which $4,000 tons
went to Pittsburgh and 5000 tons to
Chicago; the Boston x Maine, $4,000
tons, which will be delivered from Buff
falo via Erie Canal; the B. g. o., about
25 900 tons, of which 1000 tons went
to the Carnegie Steel Company and 81
600 to the Illinois Steel Company. The
Maine Central is in the market for s.
500 tons.
Several manufacturers of bars, plates
and shapes in the Central West have
announced that while sales for Feb
ruary will be made at 1.10c., the price
for March deliveries win be 1.15c. ami
for the second quarter 1.20c. AS here
tofore, volume of business will decide
how far these prices can be maintained,
and their announcement may stimulate
February bookings. Plates in particular
are not firm at 1.10c.
Sheet manufacturers operating union
mills now have up with the Amalga-
mated Association the question of wage
reductions to meet those made by some
mills which do not sign the scale. These
have amounted to 10 to Is per cent. In
other mills, also, the severe conditions
of recent months have been met by a
system under which fewer men are en-
ployed for a given output. In galvan-
lied sheets, the spelter situation has
brought a further advance, and Sc. is
now asked for No. 2S.
