Summary OF Outstanding
Developments In News
From Various War Fronts

Increased cannonading in the re-
gion of Verdun, especially around
Douamont, the Chaume wood and
the Caurieres wood which a year
ago were the theatres of some of
the, fiercest encounters in the war,
indicates apparently the intention of
the Germans to keep the French
forces in this sector we'll occupied
or might even mean a renewed eff
fort to break through at this vital
point.
The allies however, are evidently
making ready for an untoward event
and have taken the initiative in 9TH
er directions. A British air squad
ron has successfully bombed the city
of Mannheim, the great Rhine COM
mercial center and one of the most
important bases for the victualling
of the Germans on the western front.
Numerous fires We're started in this
city, ton of bombs being dropped.
The British squadron had numerous
combats with German airplanes in
this expedition and none of the Brit
ish machines was forced to make a
landing.
In Italy the battle is still raging
on the Piave front. The Italians an
nounce that they have recaptured, de-
spite stubborn resistance, the posi-
tions they had lost the previous day

however, tend to minimize the set
back and lay stress on the repulse
of Italian counter attacks against the
positions newly won by the Ger
mans and a thrust at Monte Per-
tica. The Germans report the cap
ture of 5000 Italians in engagements
around Col Del Rosso.
True to their tactics, the Austro-
Germans will probably direct another
and greater thrust at different
point, as would appear from the
shifting of large forces to the Fran
zela valley and the mountainous re-
gion to the north. The menace to
Venice seemss, however, to have

Bessemer, December 24-(Special)
The Red Cross Christmas drive for mem
bership came to conclusion last night,
but as yet no official announcement has
been made as to the number secured.

Producers Stand Ready at a Moments Notice to Divert Metal
 for Needs.
PRICE WOULD BE HIGH
United States Would Pay Same Price as Copper Been Contracted
 For to Others.

BOSTON, Feb. I9. - The United States government could command. ger its copper requirements for mu. nitions should war with Germany eventuatc Our producers stand all ready at moments notice to di. vert from other channels all the metal their retineries can pour forth.
 Under such circumstances the pro. ducing companies would receive at least the price for which their out put has already been sold Co foreign countries for the first half Of the year.
 England started several months be- fore the close of 1916 to purchase copper to reCove. the requirements for the first half of this year This business combined with the domes. tic bookings was sufficient to carry producers for some time without mak- mg further sales. About % per cent of the possible production up Co next July was sold.
 Should the United States govern mcnt, therefore. decide to buy cop per for it's own munition needs it would have to come chiefly from amounts already allotted to Great Britain.
