Carried on a Work for Eng
land Which SaUed Nation
From Humiliation.
DIED AFTER HE HAD
COMPLETED TASK
Kitchener Had Little To
Build Upon, and Much
Opposition.

ONDON, Eng, June 17.-Lord
Kitchener is dead but his great
- work is complete. Two enormous
tasks he finished
First, he raised the largest voluntary
army ever seen in the history Of the
world. much larger than the previous
record, that Of the north in the Ameri-
can Civil war.
Second, he guided a great nation
from a voluntary TO a compulsory army
system in time OF a great war. This,
the Germans had confidently predicted,
could not be done In particular. they
believed resort to universal service
would wreck the British empire and
result in internal war.
While Lloyd-George, lord Derby. pre-
mier Asquith and a host of others had
a hand IN these two great tasks, the
main burden was Kitchener's. His was
the brain which solved the largest
problem OF organization the world had
ever known; his the personality which
stood like a rock to strengthen the
mass OF the empire.
Died When Work Was Done.

work was done Partial cOmpulsion

glory is mostly Kitchener's

effort 1t is necessary TO recall premier

Of which six were regulars, IA terrific

Lack of Copper Causes
Germany To Use Iron
And Zinc For Wires

Berlin, Germany. June 17.-At a
meeting Of The society Of electrical en-
gineers d. Phillip Wechmann explained
in detail how the difficulties caused by
the lack OF copper have been overcome
by the German electricians.
The expert said that today practically
no copper is used in the German cleo
tTical industries. because excellent sub
stitutes have been found Those viii
undoubtedly remain in use after the
war. as they are much cheaper than
copper.
The substitutes by which the copper
wires have been replaced are mostly
iron and zinc. The latter metal is plen-
tifui in Germany and does excellent
service as an electrical conductor when
prepared in a certain way which was
not known before the war.
The iron wires used foI the transmits
sion Of the electric current are given a
certain consistency by a special newly
discovered process and then covered with
zinc When treated in this manner fror
IS only 20 percent less serviceable as a
conductor than copper
