NEED MEN AND METAL
Captured Utensils Indicate Germany's
Copper Supply Is Exhausted.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP sINIMs.

With the British Armies in the
Field, July Some of the countless
makeshifts with which Germany is
tiding over her dearth of war metals
and war and power were revealed at
headquarters.
First of all, prisoners say there is a
fierce demand from the German fight
ers for more guns and that orders
have been given by German COM
manders for a curtailment in the ex-
penditure of shells wherever possible.
Captured cartridge she'll cases are
of steel now. Apparently, lack of
brass and copper has made the enemy
try this metal for ammunition cases
for field guns and howitzers. Steel
cartridges are also being issued to
soldiers now. Attempts have been
made to make these steel cases avail
able for use in machine guns, but up
ency to burst and jam the guns.
No Rubber in Tires.
Captured automobiles from the Ger
without brass or copper. Motor lor-
ries show fabric and OGDEN tires in
stead of rubber.
Estimates from prisoners give about
Is per cent of the present German
fighting infantry made up of men 81
and % years old. From ~ to Is per
cent are men averaging 20. Lads of
10 are now being brought to the front
in large numbers and about to 10
per cent of the fighting infantry is
made up of these youngsters. Ger
man prisoners say home depots are
now filling up with 1S-year- old youths
and even boys of II are undergoing
examination preparatory to conscrip-
ton.
