WASHINGTON March 9.-The
 United States has asked Great Britain
 for q copy of the confidential in
 structions to commanders of British
 merchant vessels which Germany
 claims prove that merchantmen armed
 ostensibly for defensive purposes have
 orders to act extensively against Ger
 man and Austrian submarines. The
 request is understood to have been
 made today through Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British ambassador.
 This is the first step the United States has taken since the administra- ton officials have been studying the complete memorandum in which Ger many announced its intention to treat as warships armed merchantmen of the entente allies. it's appendices and the subsequent memoranda on the subject submitted by Count Von Berustorff, the German ambassador. There were strong intimations to- night that the British government would be given an opportunity to answer the German charges and the 1 many incidents where Germany claims defensively armed ships have acted offensively toward submarines of the , central powers.
 l Early in the day the British em- bassv made public a statement chal- ! lenging every substantial statement in Count von Reristorff's memorandum l and setting forth that while Ger many contends that her submarine warfare is in retaliation for British viola tions of international law, many ! of the German acts were committed , before the issuance of the first order 1 in counsel complained of.

 The British government already has given out for publication a copy of instructions said to have been issued to the commanders of British mer- chantmen. The German version of the contents as submitted to the state department is materially different. The state department has no official knowledge of the British version, al terest the press dispatches containing the instructions as given out in Lon don for publication.

ALL INTERESTS SILENT
ON COPPER COMBINE
But Report That Merger Is I'm.
der Way Persists

Confirmation of the report that big
combination Of copper producing com
panies is upder way was still lacking
in Wall Street yesterday, though talk
of such a merger persisted. Accord
ing to the gossip going the rounds of
brokers' Offices, the Utah Copper Com
pany, the Kennecott Copper Corpora
ton and the Chill Copper Company
eventually will be operated under the
control of j. p. Morgan g. Co. and the
Guggenheims. Such a combination
presumably would include the Braden
Copper Company, the stock of which is
all owned by the Kennecott.
Reports that the Cerro de Pasco Min
ing Company also might be included in
the merger were not generally cred
tied. The prices at which the three
big companies were reported to be
taken into the combine were $50 for
Utah. 20 for Kennecott and 90 for
Chill.
Interests of the companies that may
eventually decide to combine would be
likely to move with care in order to
avoid any clash with the antitrust
laws

FRANCE UNDER
NEW DICTATOR
ClaveilIe, Engineer, in
Charge of I'm
portatiOns
BY YVES GUYOT
rDv Cable IN The Tribune


Paris. Nov. 2O.-M. Claveille, the
new dictator of importations and
transports, assumed office to-day. He
is not a member of Parliament, but
an engineer of roads and bridges,
end, what amounts to a revolution,
he is not a graduate of the Ecole
Polytechnique, but an outsider. He
made national reputation when the
state bought the railroads of the
west.
State control of those roads was
induced by series of bad accidents
and the frightful disorder arising
from the fact that six different di-
rectorates were installed to satisfy
political friendships.
Claveille then was called in to
bring order out of chaos. He began
by saying:
II know nothing about railroads,
but this is an affair of personnel,
and / shall confine myself to capable
men in choosing my associates"
He suppressed the organization
which he found in power and re-
turned to the three-division system
existing in other companies-ex-
ploitation, ways and works, and ma
terial and traction.
At the same time Claveille had to
think of numbers of small employees,
all of whom had votes. He must not
anger them, or members of Parlia-
ment would lose their jobs, so Cla.
veille showed himself generous tow
ard the workmen. Under these con-
ditions he made the state railroads a
working proposition.
Claveille left the state railroads
at a critical moment to become Di-
rector of Munitions, and now he
takes on the still bigger position of
Dictator of Transport and Ravitaille-
ment. He is a man of decision and
force of character, and, moreover, he
does not hesitate too long over mat
tiers of expense when the end is nee
essary to accomplish.

That a tiny moth will come miles
through the dark to meet its mate or
that food in the middle of desert
will call birds from behind the hori-
zon-these are called wonders of
nature. They are nothing. Steel
common, after days of aimless and
unobserved fluctuations, becomes
suddenly very active and touches a
new high price. This happens for
no reason that could have been known
beforehand, or for no tangible reason
at all, but the attendance in brok-
ers' offices will have increased four
fold. The crowd is always there to
see it happen. That seems just to
happen, too. If you should ask the
man who has not been at his brokers'
for several weeks before how he
came to arrive at the psychological
moment he would not be able to tell
you, any more than the moth. 1t is
a coincidence, or he thinks it is, and
would let it pass as such, without
taking the pains to call you crazy.
