ENGLAND FOILED IN
 INDUSTRIAL HOPES
Ironmasters Say Germany Is Equipped to Carry on War Indefinitely as
  Regards Its Metal Resources.

i Dusseldorf, Germany, March 13, Via. Berlin and Sayville.-At the an-
 nUal meeting of the German Iron
 masters association the president, Dr. SpringOrum, asserted that British hopes and efforts to defeat Germany by the destruction of industry which { is absolutely necessary to supply the army and preserve the economic equilibrium have been useless on ac- count of the self-contained industrial resources of the nation and the man. ner in which they have been CO., Ordinated
 For a long time, Dr. Springorum said, German industry has adapted itself to the new conditions, over coming all technical difficulties with a degree of tranquility which is the result of the vigor of German or gcnization and the application of scientific principles. It has been possible to meet all demands Of the German navy and army.
 The vice president of the associa- tion. Dr. Peterson said Great Britain had hoped to cripple Germanay by stopping the importation of man. ganese, but that this effort had been vain because manganese had been replaced completely by German product Dr. Peterson declared all other supplies requisite for the pro- auction of iron and steel are abun- dant in Germany, "so that we can stand war of any length"

,LANDERS LOSER IN SUIT FOR $7O,OOO
CContinued From First Page.)

Momand owned no realty or any oth- CT property here.
 The trial of the libel action lasted eight days. MT. Gordon said that the United company had 25O,00O lamps for which it received SIS year per lamp until MT. Momand's s activities caused a reduction in price to SIP, the cost to the Lighting Trust being S1,500,000 a year.
 One letter written by MT. Momand was addressed to Commlssloner Thompson, and protested against the city accepting the bid of any of the companies controlled by the United company under the price of SIP. He wrote that it had been arranged that the Pressure company should bid for 5000 or 10000 lamps in addition to those it already operated in Brook Iyn at a price not to exceed $1O.S0 lamp. but that Mr. Landers has bid SIP because he knew this would en- able the United company to capture the contract by bidding a triae less.
 MT. Momand also said there was a bidding in the city so that the United company through it's subsidiaries, . could control all the bids. The let- ters, written by MT. Momand to Cont missioner Thompson were turned over to MT. Landers and helped to form the basis of the libel action. Counsel for MT. Landers asked Jus tice Dugro to set the verdict aside, and briefs will be submitted on the motion by attorneys for both sides.
