OUTRIGGER CLUB
TO HAVEFLOATS
near THE Shore

Due in a large measure to the en-
thusiastic efforts of Walter Duisen-
berg, the Outrigger Club will shortly
install one or more floats between
the beach and the present diving stage
opposite the club grounds, and pos
sibly another float out in the deep
water beyond the diving stage for use
in life-saving emergencies and as a
resting place for the clubs stronger
swimmers.
During the past two or three days
Mr.. Duisenberg has raised SITS to-
ward the expense Of installing these
floats.
The subscription list is now in the
hands of Treasurer Thompson.
The following letter, authorizing
Mr.. Duisenberg to go ahead with the
work of raising the funds for the float,
was sent by the board of directors Of
the club on August 2:
THE diving platform at the beach
is so far away from the shore that our
weaker swimmers, including the wo-
men and children, seldom, II ever, go
out to it. Two or more floats nearer
In, which could be used for resting
and diving places, would be most well
come. Also, there is a demand for
a float out in the deep water for our
stronger swimmers, and for life saw
ing emergencies.
THE board Of directors Of the Out
rigger Canoe Club is heartily in SYM
pathy with this movement, and will
undertake to see that any money sub
scribed' for the purpose is expended
effectively. The board appreciates
your offer to head a subscription list
to raise funds for these floats and
hereby authorizes you to solicit sub
scriptions to such a list"

COPPER INDUSTRY
WAITSU.S. MOVE.

Especial Star Bulletin r;orresDondenes)
NEW YORK, y. Y. July 2l.-The
copper trade is waiting for some def
mite action by the government in ref
erence to its attitude relative to price,
and for that reason recent transac-
lions have been on a comparatively
small scale. Until the restraint Of
existing uncertainty is removed, no
aggressive market activity can be eA-
pected.
The consumption Of copper conttn-
ues heavy, however, with a likelihood
Of expanding, provided adequate effI-
cient labor is available. The strike
conditions at the Montana and Arizona
copper mines have assumed serious
proportions and their output has been
considerably decreased by the shut
down. 1t is believed that unless OPP
erations are fully resumed in the
near future supplies may fall short
of requirements. With the present
outlook at sources Of production, the
downward tendency of the market pre-
sents an unusual feature Of the situa-
ton. II the law Of supply and de-
mand is allowed free play reversal
natural development to expect, accord
ing to leading factors in the trade.
The refinery production Of copper
for June is estimated at 200,000,00O
pounds. These figures include not
only the product of American mines,
but copper imported into this coun-
try and treated at the different cleo
troylitic refineries here The total
output of refined copper for the first
half of this year is estimated at l.
055, 100000 pounds. The total produc-
ton of new refined copper in 1916
was 2.259, 100000 pounds
During the present unprecedented
conditions there are many and special
between capital and labor and be-
tween the government and those bust
ness enterprises Of the country which
are of immense value and practical
utility to the people, says the Ma
tional Conduit and Cable company,
Inc.
"A few weeks ago." observes the
company, 1T was announced that the
government had purchased 100000
pounds of copper at rs cents per
pound The transaction was supposed
to be at the flat rate of Is cents, but
recent report is to the effect that Is
per cent Of this price will be paid,
with subsequent adjustment Of the rs
per cent balance when cost Of pro-
duction has been determined by the
federal trade commission.
THE attitude of Washington au-
thorities has already greatly upset
both buyers and sellers. 1t is also rea-
lized that if arbitrary price fixation
is to be enforced by compulsory de-
cree, it will prove most prejudicial to
the country itself and every interest
in any way connected with the copper
industry. Producer, manufacturer,
miner, laborer and all Independent
parties will feel the detrimental eff
feet of such a course, if it is put into
operation.
IF the working Of the natural law
of supply and demand is to be abro-
gated by one stroke of the pen, indus
try and society may as we'll become
machines, with nothing
to strive after; worthy ambitions ex-
and all zest in enterprise |
made an impossibility."

THREE DIVISIONS OF NEGRO
1 TROOPS UNDER OWN
OFFICERS ,sTsse-ssssa,-
On Precisely Same Basis as Whites in
The SeIective conseription-WiII
BE $1,000 in New Army.

Washington, ID. c., July 5.-If the
War Department here carries out it's
announced purpose to raise the three
divisions of colored troops, it will
mean that $1,000 colored men will be
called to the colors by fall. The
number of colored men registered, un-
der the conscription act, is only about
one-tenth of the whites who registered.
The three divisions for colored men
will mean that nearly one-fifth of the
100000 men called for the first ma
tional army will be colored, and that
proportionately greater number of
colored than whites will be conscript-
ed. The French and English ENJOYS
when here, it is said, impressed upon
government officials that the black
troops now fighting in the great war
have proven marvellous fighters.
According to reports issued here
last Monday from the department in
the makeup of the new national army,
Negroes are to be on the same basis
as whites.
To BE Three Negro Divisions.
1ho wal hOW
that in the first national army of 50O,-
900 men there will be three Negro d.
visions. About $4,000 men are in
cluded in each division. The final
registration figures show that out of
a total registration of 9,659,382 there
were 953,889 Negroes, or a little more
than one-tenth or one Negro to every
10 white men: On this basis it Is
claimed by some that nearly $4,000
Negroes will be conscripted for the
first national army.
Under CoIored Officers.
1t was learned late this afternoon
that it will be the policy of the War
Department to officer the Negro units
with colored men as far as possible.
In any event, the officers up to major,
and perhaps to colonel, will be Ne
groes. The brigade and division Of.
ficers will be detailed from the reg
ular army. AS yet the War Depart
ment has given no particular atten.
tion to the assignment of colored
troops, but 1t is proceeding on the
theory that they will be sent to France
when their turn comes just as the
white troops will CO.
