DEUTScHLAND'S NIcKLE
STOLEN FROM CANADA.
Claimed That the Seven Men Who
Robbed Arsenals Are Under Arrest.

Seven men are under arrest and
closely watched by a strong guard
at a military reservation in Canada
charged with being the ring-1eaders
in the gigantic theft from Canadian
government arsenals of tons of nickel
which, it is claimed by the British
officials, was a greater part of the
nickel that went to Germany on the
German merchantmen submarine
Deutschland.
The report from Canada says that
the metal was stolen in pocketfels and
transported to the United States in
whiskey casks. Once IN this country
the officials claim, it was sold at a
good price to agents of the German
government.
Whatever is the claim of the Do
minion authorities and the officials
conducted the investigation into metal
obtained in Canada and transported
to Germany on the Deutschland it
does not conform to the statements
made some time ago by officials Of
the Eastern Forwarding Co. the
German commercial line.
According to Vice President Paul G..
L. Hilken. the company contracted
some time ago with a business house
in New Jersey for the precious metal
and at the present time there Is suff1-
Gent nickel and other material in the
hands of the company to keep the
Deutschland and any other German
transporting the cargo to the Father
land.
UnquestionabIy the nickel which
arrived in New London to be taken to
the central powers came from Canada,
where the great cupro nickel mines
United States depend on the supply
of cupro nickel from the country
north of US and where about 80 per
cent of the material is mined. Some
of the greatest nickel mines in the
world are at. Vancouver, B. c.
When the Deutschland left New
London on Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 81,
for Bremerhaven, she carried with
other material over 375 tons of nick
ell This heavy shipment had come
to the attention of the Canadian gov
eminent and an investigation was at
once started by the officials.
Concerning the investigation moth
ing has been divulged by the officials
until Thursday night when they made
their first arrests and said that more
arrests would follow. The charge is
that the seven men are the leaders
of a gang that stole nickel from the
the value of the steal amounted to
several thousand dollars. The Off
Gals further reported that three tons
Of the metal, packed in whisl1ey cari<s,
ready for shipment into the United
States, was also seized.
When the officials Of the Eastern
Forwarding company learned Of the
story from the British quarter they
denied the allegation, but intinated
that such reports are expected.
The German officials had taken ev-
cry possible precaution to prevent the
knowledge of its transactions in OBJ
aiming the export cargo until Sun
lay, Dec 10. when an official of the
Eastern Forwarding Co. said that no
onger did he fear keeping secret the
source of nickel supply. TT came
through a business house at New Jer-
sey and we have enough now on hand

TRAFFIC INCREASES
HALF During WAR
Fairfax Harrison's Statement
Shows Accomplishments
of Railroads.
TELLS OF BIG PROBLEMS

Chairman Fairfax Harrison of the
railroad war board has issued a state
ment In connection with the board 9
recommendation to the government for
dispensing with the transportation of
non-essential commodities, in which he
calls attention to what the railroads
have done during the war period and
what difficulties still confront them.
Mr.. Harrison deals with the five
month period OF the war and employs
statistics now for the first time pre-
scented. The statement says, in part:
Statistics which have just become
available show that in the months of
April to August, 1917. inclusive, those
being the first five months after the
entrance of the United States into the
great war. our railways handled Is per
cent more freight traffic than in the
same months OF 1916, which year broke
all records up to that time.
THE traffic handled in these five
months of 1877 was 80 per cent greater
than that moved in the same months
OF 1915. and. in fact, exceeded the totaf
traffic moved in any entire year prior
to 1908. When the statistics for Sep
TENDER are available they VIII show
that in the six months ending with
that month the railways handled more
freight traffic than in any entire year
prior to 1907.
