Iron is Iron

We do not realize how scarce-thngs have become in this world, terrible been these wasteful three years We of this country have been accus- toned to think that the supply of all things mex haustible and that that especially true of the supply of iron and it's products. Scrap iron neglected everywhere because it was cheaper the iron from the mines than to gather up the scrap and transport to points where it could be converted into inferior iron There no incen tive it. It wonder that it neglected And not iron deposits innumerable and bot tomless?
 Scrap iron, though is taking values. Acting on the request of the United States Geological Survey, the John Deere Flow company and other sending letters to customers all the country asking them to start a campaign among the farmers urging them to gather all scrap iron and steel and sell to the junk dealers It is put before the farmers not only profitable saving. but also patriotic duty to get back into industrial channels all scrap metal of every description. The letter says
 There time in the history of the world when there was such shortage of steel, iron and other metals exists today. Demands upon steel industry for equipment and the of the manufacture of the domestic products make it the duty of every citizen the supply of materials
 We wish you would interest yourselves in this matter and urge all farmers in your vicinity gather every pound of scrap that they upon their place, bring it into town, dispose of it the scrap dealers and that scrap dealers get it back to the mills possible
 Iron is wanted for thousand things. It cannot be made fast enough for needs and the needs of the allies. Millions of tons lie in bottoms of the seas, where other millions will go Still other mill lions scattered along the long battle fronts of Europe and Asia aggregating more than four thou sand miles Much of this is recoverable but it is not at present re-convertible Over there they are too busy wasting iron to replace it.
 It seemed to not long ago that the Germans were hard pressed when they had the sa ing of metals of different kinds the whole world has been brought it.

GROWN PRINCES GREAT DEFEAT
 DESCRIBED
(By Associated Press)

FRENCH FRONT, Nov. 2S.-One of the disappontments which the Ger man Grown Prince has suffered since the'utter defeat of his great efforts to capture Verdun has just ben brought to light in documents found on Ger man prisoners. From these it ap- pears that while the French were inflicting their smashing blow on the German troops still menacing Yer dun on August 20 last-when the Grown Prince not only lost some val uable ground but about 5000 of his select men were taken prisoners-the Germans were carefully preparing an attack on grand scale from a point about mile to the east of Auberive to the Souain height. French activ- ity in front of the fortress of Verdun upset these plans completely and caused the Crown Prince to put off for an indefinite period any attempt to carry out an offensive movement in this region.
 Details of the projected attack, as a result of which the German comman- der had hoped to gain possession of an important tract of territory on the Champagne front, show that the chief part in the operation was to be played by the First Bavarian Division, which was brought up to full strength for the purpose and had enjoyed period of repose and special training for the

send the two divisions which had been ordered to support the Bavar; fans in the attack in Champagne to the help of the troops at Verdun and to fill their places by two other divi- sions which had just suffered terrific losses in a Flanders engagement and which were in consequence not in the best condition for severe fighting. At the same time even the elements were contrary to the Germans.
 Later orders show that the Ger man commander was obliged first to put the attack off till September 1. Before that date arrived he had evil dence in the shape of French artillery activity and infantry raids in the Champagne sector that a surprise was out of the question. Finally the French fire became so severe that on September 10 the Crown Prince decided to give up the idea of an of fen@ive il this section and began to withdraw to the rear his guns, troops

task. It was to be supported by two other divisions on its right and left Hanks respectively.
 The Bavarian division had receiv- ed orders to prepare to furnish twelve sections of chosen shock troops, each section composed of one officer and forty-seven men. Behind these shock troops were to follow twelve booty squads" and twelve destruction squads" each composed of a temper ary acting officer and thirty-two men.
 The confidence of the Crown Prince in the success of the intended blow at the French was so great that he had ordered twelve teams of six horses each to be ready to gallop off with the captured French cannon, while an officer and fifty men of the engineer corps were to stand by pre- pared to destroy gun positions and guns that could not be carried off.
 It has been arranged that an ex- tremely dense cloud of gas should ba emitted over the French infantry anu artillery positions during fifteen min utes before the shock units advanced to the attack. Batteries of field guns were to be stationed in immediate support of the shock troops. Air planes were to fly low and participate in the infantry work. The whole op. eration was, according to arrange, ment, to result in what was called in the German orders, "a summer har. vest" It was fixed for August 16-17
 On August 16 the French troops further east in the vicinity of Verdun started movement on their own ac count, for on that date they opened their artillery preparation for theil intended attack on August 20. The menace of the Germans holding the lines before Verdun became so grea' that the Crown Prince was obliged tC

prosecute war without experiencing q
temporary depression such as Eng.
land and France have recently recoy-
cred from" said Mr.. Armour today.
Modern war" he said, requires tha
expenditure of huge sums of money
and means maximum employment and
high wages for all workers. Other
conditions peculiar to this war make
1t certain that, this nation will enjoy
a period of business and Industrial ac-
tivity the like Of which has never
