4. That the agencies of reinsurance
in Switzerland and Spain have rela-
tions with at least two great con-
cerns-La Marine, the strongest Brit
ish company. and La Concorda, the
strongest German company.
3. That is is impossible that the
Germans under these conditions should
not get the exact news of the move
ments of merchant vessels throughout
the entire world
Peril of Reinsurance
The immense majority of the British
and French companies are honorable,
but il is reinsurance which is the cause
of everything.
Some one who is interested in the
technique of the question, and whom l
have asked what remedy should be i'm
mediately employed. has written me a
note explaining the matter. | submit

it is the means of most efficiently COM

priving them of their information.

of movements of merchant ships and
the divulgence of their contracts. 1t Is
necessary to find some means of not
placing this information in any hands

most disastrous risks.
Remedy
There is another means. 1t is a mo-
nopoly by the French, English, Ameri-
can and Italian governments Of marine
insurance carried right up to the end of
the war.
"In eight days a FrenchAmerican-
English Italian commission, under the
control of the corresponding authori-
ties in each of the nations, could seize
all the contracts and issue new ones.

Since February l; Few
French Craft Lost

London, July 4.-The predicted drop
in the destructiveness of German u
boats was emphasized sharply to-day
by the Admiralty figures on last weeks
losses of British shipping. Fifteen Brit
ish merchant vessels above 1,6OO tons
and five under that tonnage were sunk
either by mines or submarines. Eleven
fishing craft were sent to the bottom
after two weeks of immunity enjoyed
by the fishing fleets.
With the exception of the week OF
June 8. when fifteen large vessels and
three small ones we're sunk, last weeks
figures represent the lowest mark OF
eficiency recorded BY the U-boats since
the "ruthless" campaign was inaugural
ed. on February l.
Official figures issued from PARIS to-
dav covering U-boat operations against
French shipping in June also sho" a
shrinkage from fcrmer statistics
Twelve French merchantmen were SUNK
bv torpedoes during the month and TWO

tornedoes and thirteen by gunhre es-
caped. During the same period Ffehch
patrol craft had thirty-one engage
ments with enemy submarines. French
seaplanes fought eight battles with
them. and shore batteries fired on three
more.
Causes of Decline
The dwindling of U-boat destructive
ness throughout last week is attributed
horo "a three cause.-the natural de-
cline during the receding period oil the
submarine "wave" which seems to come
about once a month as new Meets are
outfitted. the increasing, effectiveness

SOUTH AMERICA
 TO PLAY GREAT
 PART IN COPPER
Large Mining Interests Have Scouts Out on the Look for Good
 Propositions.
HOPE FOR BIG STRIKE

BOSTON, Jan 10. - That South America is destined to play an i'm. portant part in the copper industry of the world appears evident from the activity on the part u' the large mining interests who have scouts out looking for new copper deposits
 Chile seems to be the center of most of these activities at the pres, cnt time in the hopes that another Chile" or another "Braden" can be discovered,
 The American Metal Company Is understood to have secured an op. ton on the Mantas Blanche property in Chile, through Louis Wright, a wclLkuown mining engineer. Adolph Lewis3hn & Sons have Engineer GOu- yard making examinations there and Allen II. Rogers has lately returned from Chile. The Guggenheims have Fritz Mellor on the ground and Will Ham Bradcn has several scouts in various parts of South America look ing for copper properties.
 It was Bralcu who secured con- troI of the property bearing his name which is now owned by the Kenne- colt Copper Corporation. Changing his affiliations from the Guggcnheims 0 the AnaCOni@ group of mining Op. orators Brudcn secured the Andes deposit for the AnacOnda Copper Min ing Company. More recently Bradcn has secured options on the Cerro Verde property in Peru, believed Co De for the Anaconda Co.

Brown Declares Perkins
Has Misrepresented Him

WATERFOWL, y. Y, Sept 49,
Senator Elon r. Brown to-day replied
to the open letter of George ". Per
kins. defeated candidate for president
Of the State Food Commission. He
denies the charge OF delaying the state
food control bill and utilization with the
middlemen. The Senator termed Mr..
Perkins letter a mass Of misrepresen-
tations and deceit.
The Senator SAID, in part:
AT an interview with you. near the
close of the regular session, I sug-
gested that any legislation at Albany
should be subordinate TO Federal regu-
lation. You scoffed al the suggestion,
al the President and Congress. and
urged that New York take independent
action 70 outfoot them all. IL now
serves your purpose, however. 70 mask
yourself as coopeatlng with Washing
ton"
Referring 10 Mr.. Perkins charge that
he was working with the middlemen.
the Senator said tina, the produce ex-
changes, boards of trade. wholesalers
and retailers, taken together. constl-
tute one of our best forces in citizen
ship, and have 1t IN their power TO

Mr. Perkins takes the stump at the
Syracuse State Fair tomorrow. where
he will probably answer the northern
Senator's letter.
