or RESULT OF TEUToN PLOTTING"

One of the reasons why Germany has lost friends
in the United States since the outbreak of the Euro
pean war was illuminatingly shown in San Fran
cisco recently when Franz Bopp, consul general was
given an ovation by Germans and German
Americans ~~...:
Bopp and his associates, including vceconsul
and confidential agents of the embassy, were con-
victed of conspiracy against the peace of the United
States True, they working against the Allies,
but their efforts were in violation of the land in
which they lived They engaged in muniton plots
of wide scope and most sinister character.
After conviction, Bopp appeared before an audi
ence of 5000 of San Francsco's German population.
They cheered him wildly. After Bopp spoke the
consul who had come to succeed him-Bopp being
retired of the report that the convicted man
would be promoted by his government He added
THE same has happened in the case of Ambassa,
dor Dumba, Captain +. von Papen and others who
have been recalled to Europe"
-Dumba, Won Papen and Boy-ed had rendered
themselves persona non grata to the United States
because they, too, engaged in sinister plots Recall
ed, they were heaped with honors. That action.
however, in Europe, need cause no concern. It is
the fact that German and Austrian sympathzers in
the United States lend their support to awbreakers
by such incidents as that in San Francisco which
has made those of TeutOn blood widely suspected
throughout this country. They have not refrained
from supporting men who plotted against the coun,
try to which as naturalized citizens, they have
sworn fully loyalty and allegiance.
Small wonder that with the United States and
Germany in a crisis Germans in this country find
themselves under suspicion. The actions of their
own countrymcn. have bred this suspicion, which
only be eradicated when the men of Teuton blood
who reside on American soil show Enthusiastically that
they repudiate the "potter' and all his works
Silence is not enough Silence strengthens the be
lief that since the plotters are presumably acting
under the orders of the German government. they
are to be honored. as soldiers are honored who do
their duty. An attitude of this sort toward those
who violate the laws merely engenders suspicion
that loyalty to the kaiser comes before loyalty to
the United States of America.

there would simply be no peaceful
living in the world so long as this
remnant of barbaric and outworn
order of society should be in the as
cendant. A German world domin-
ion would be, perhaps, no more
hateful than an Anglo-Saxon world
dominion or any other. The idea is
that any kind of world dominion
would be hateful, just as it would be
hateful and ridiculous that the
State of Maine or Georgia or
Nebraska should dictate the laws
and policies of the whole people OF
the United States. The world is
past the stage of any German or
Roman "peace."
But every serious minded per-
son knows that the business Of beat

grim determination which the Allies
can command, even with the United
States thrown in. The submarine is
still an unsolved menace; and six
months more of success like the last
six months would bring about a
different situation in Europe, both
for Allied and American troops.
The German line of trenches can
not be broken. The Allied armies
cannot go through, save at a cost so
frightful that no set of commanders
will give the order. The butchery
would be too horrible for even this
now blood-sated world to endure.
And the airplane cannot break up
the present impregnable position of
the Germans within at least an
other year. For the next twelve
months Germany can and will build
almost as many airplanes as the Al
lies in Europe; and those that can
be produced in America will not be
sufficient in number to give our
allies complete supremacy in the
air. This is the unacceptable fact.

To win the copper from the ore. put
il in commercial form and transport
it from where it is made to where 1t
is wanted has meant an investment OF
hundreds of millions in America alone.
Conner mining is not poor man S
proposition. Every great mine mas
engineering and metallurglcal prop
lens of its own to solve. Some ores
are very refractory. and costs Of win
ming the copper vary materially with
the character of associated minerals
and the percentage of metal in the de-
nosit. Under normal conditions the
expense of making and marketing cop
ner runs from cents. with low-cost
nroducing mines. TO IL cents or more.
On a depressed copper market some OF
the latter mines cannot make a large
margin Of profit To-day every one
in the industry is pushing production
10 the highest point, yet there is not
copper enough to meet demand ana
some manufacturers have been forced
10 use substitutes not as well adapted
TO their requirements.
Metallurgical, chemical, engineering
and electrical science have all come
TO the aid of mining development. To-
day. when ore is located. experts are
sent 70 the ground to determine the
superficial extent and character Of val
liable mineral, series OF test holes
are drilled to depth, assayers accu-
rately prove the samples and the met
allurgist thoroughly analyses the ore
TO determine the best and most eco
nomical method Of converting il into
commercial copper. All this may take
months and cost many thousand dol
lars. but il puts copper mining on
far more substantial basis as a manu-
featuring proposition and saves mill
ions TO investors.
Not infrequently, after all this pre-
liminary work, the property Is given
up. because, in the judgment of the
consulting engineers, IL would cost TOO
much 10 treat" the ore and make IL

M ODERN warfare could not be but
lNl for copper. In almost every gun
Of every calibre on land or sea, in
every airplane, sea plane or battle
plane, and in the thousands Of search
lights which sweep the battlefields at
night, copper is present. So it IS IN
the shells containing ammunition,
whether for rife. mortar, field gun or
deadly "75." Copper is used in every
ambulance which brings the wounded
from the front. Copper in soluble form
is the most powerful disinfectant
known in hospital practice. Field tele-
phone and telegraph lines are Of cop
per, and observation officers watch a
battles progress through brass tele-
scopes and field glasses. The use Of
copper has made possible the subma-
rine and the submarine chaser. Sui
phuric acid-copper in solution--is the
basis of some of the most deadly forms
Of explosives known to the science Of
war. Brass buttons and brass helmets
by the millions are worn by the con-
tending troops. After the war is over
a profitable business will be done for
months by peasants along the former
lines Of carnage in the collection and
sale Of metal to be reconverted into
brass for use in the arts of peace.
Copper is indeed the metal universal.
In some Of its thousands Of forms it is
within the reach Of your hand as you
read this. Are you at your breakfast
table? Your coffee urn and table silver
contain an alloy Of copper to make
them hard. The electric toaster is
wired with copper. The coins in your
pocket-all of them-contain copper in
varying proportions. So does the
jewelry you wear. There are brass
nails in the heels Of your shoes and
brass in your buckles and in your bed
stead.

bic to meet industrial requirements.
The necessities of war have forced
the diversion of thousands OF tons OF
copper from industrial uses. The re-
constructive demands OF peace--espe-
cially with the European nations
will probably compel still further
maximum production from mines ana
smelters for years to come. To-day
science goes hand in hand with min
ing. New and important uses are De-
ing found for copper, and the metal
lurgical engineer is constantly at work
to perfect processes Of production and
reduce overhead at mine, mill ana
smelter.

A Prediction
Which Went Wrong


Which Went Wrong
These two examples, of the iron
industry and of agriculture, could
be paralleled in dozens or scores
of other lines. Ten years ago l
heard one of the highest paid copper
experts" in the United States ex-
plain that within ten years copper
would be a very dear metal, simply
because the copper of the earth was
of diminishing quantity. Since. that
time the actual copper production
has more than doubled. The price,
ex-war, has been slightly lower than
when this prophetic voice spoke, and
the vast deposits of Chill, of Alaska,
and perhaps Mexico, have been al
most untouched. There is no dearth
of copper in the earth. The dearth
is Of hands and machinery to get it
out. Yet copper has been selling at
between two and three times its
average ante-war price; and during
the war production has increased in
no great amount. And so we might
go through the list.
Perhaps it will be clear to the
reader by this time just what is the
heart of the problem Of industrial
America to-day. While the ignorant
and strong-lunged are crying out
against the rapacity of the steel
makers and the copper miners with
very soft pedal on that of the
farmers and the cotton growers
and an uncertain Administration is
trying vainly to appease this cutlery
by creating price fixing commissions
and food dictators and the like, a
considerable part Of Europe is suf-
fering for lack Of food; there is an
acute demand for ships, which cam
not be satisfied, and many industries
are running short-handed for actual
lack Of material. Any one with half
an eye might see that if high prices
lave not meant enormously aug
mented production then reducing
prices cannot increase production,
and it is increased production, and
rot lower prices, that in this crisis
we so acutely need.
Any one who has read ten pages
Of economic history knows that
every law which ever attempted to
fix a price since the days of Edward
the Confessor-and, no doubt, for
thousands Of years before that
has been a failure, and has been
promptly repealed. And that is pre-
oisely what will happen now. Let
us see why. Greatly to stimulate the
iron industry, for example, would
now require very large amounts Of
capital. II means the building Of
quantities Of huge e1cavators, and
new ore cars, and dock facilities,
and lake transports, and new blast
furnaces and everything you can
think Of. And capital is now at
very high premium-higher than at
any time since the Civil War. There
is a war price for capital all over
the world, and 30 dire is the demand
for It that no one thinks now Of
trying price fixing here. To all in
tents, INST Of the anti-capital laws

Widely
Disseminated

Copper ore is more widely dissent
mated throughout the earth's crust
than any of the minerals in general
commercial use. There are copper
mines-now abandoned-within nifty
miles of New York. Copper is found
in every state in the Union. although
not always in profitable quantities. IL
exists in every important geographi-
cal division of the globe. II was
known and used before the dawn OF
history. Next to his fists. the limbs
of trees and the stones themselves,
copper furnished primitive man MS
first implements Of warfare and his
earliest utensils of domesticity. Cop
per sntedates iron by hundreds-per-
hans thousands of years in mans
knowledge and use. Native copper
lent itself readily to the simple needs
of our early ancestors. From IL tney
heat with stones crude knives, axe
heads and spear points. Specimens OF
these, with copper pans and rude
utensils. have been found in ancient
sepulchres. In elemental form smelt-
ing was also known to the anclents'
and earliest attempts at permanent
records were made on copper as well
as on stone. The story Of copper IS
closely associated with the history OF
world progress and industrial develop
ment.
Not only is copper more generally
distributed than other valuable MIN
erals. but it also occurs in greater
variety of forms and combinations
than any other geological formation IN
cor,n,ercisl use. Some of these are
beautiful in their situations and color
inrs. Next to the rich vermilion OF

v,ondarful color in natural geology

So Copper
Is King

Truly copper is king. To-day It is
demanding tribute, alike from the war
and the captains of industry, at a rate
never before approached. In 1914 the
low price Of copper was liz cents per
pound. To-dav's average price is 2s to
20 cents, and there is not enough to
60 around. Copper production every
where is being forced to the highest
point Miners strikes throughout the
West have recently held up develop
ment and production, but these tenn
porary delays serve only to emphasize
the universal necessity Of greater out
put of the metal.
New production is being sought
throughout the copper regions of the
world. Japan is rapidly developing her
copper areas, under the guidance Of
English and American engineers. Chile,
100 years ago the leading copper pro-
ducing country Of the world, is once
more attaining prominence in the in
dustry through the development Of the
great Braden copper mines and the
rapid expansion OF the still more re-
markable blanket deposits at Chuquica-
mata, on the great desert plateau in
the foothills of the Andes in Northern
Chile, the latter area comprising the
properties Of the Chile Copper Com
pany, owned and operated by American
capital. This is the largest proven cop
per deposit in the known world.
In America the Anaconda mines OF
Montana, with a production averaging
3O0.000,000 pounds a year, leads the
world in output. Rio Tinto. ancient
copper producer Of Spain. is one Of
the leading mines of the world. The
great low grade porphyry deposits Of
Utah Copper, Ray Consolidated, lnspi-
ration, Nevada Consolidated. Chino
and Miami-all developed within the
last decade-have added materially to
the world output OF red metal. but de-

because the application of a days
labor to these sparsely yielding
fields of the East does not bring an
adequate return as compared with
the same days labor expended on
the richly fertile plains of the
West, or in other nearby industries.
Yet at the moment there is an al
most worldwide dearth of food. The
food question is, or has been, al
most as acute in China or in India
as it is to-day in France or Ger
many. And we have had ire
mendously high prices for all forms
of food staples-S3.75 for cash
wheat, 1925 for cash corn and cor
responding prices now for hogs
and beeves. And the astonishing
thing is that, in spite Of these
PRICES. unknown in more than half
century, there should be practically
no increase in the acreage planted.
In almost twenty years now the an
nual increase in the crop acreage OF
the United States has been so small
as to be nearly negligible. What is
worse, the average yield of these
acres through a full sixty years has
shown no increase whatever. Prac-
tically, it remains the same now as
at the close Of the Civil War.
We have here a slightly differing
problem for that of increasing the
iron production. But substantially
it is the same. There are still mill
ions of acres in the United States,
fairly fertile, that are untitled. A
considerable part of this acreage
was formerly cropped through
century or more with success. In
New Hampshire, of which | was
just speaking, 40 per cent of the i'm
proved and titled land has gone back
to pasturage or waste land within
twenty years. 1t was not brought
into bearing this year, nor will 1t be
rext year, in spite of spectacularly
high prices. Why? Simply because
no farmer believes that these prices
will last long enough to repay the
initial cost of bringing the fields
into yield again, or the present
charge for farm labor.
