domestic requirements. The scarcity
OF freight today has more or less pro-
nlDlted the Importation of ores and
concentrates from Australia and else
Wnere, and upon the depletion of the
present stocks the existing smelterfes
operations must necessarily be limited
to supplies of zinc blend from British
mines. Australia, notwithstanding her
inability to ship quantities in keeping
with her production, is contriving to
output large quantity Of zinc con-
centrates every month, and at the
present day there is very large ton
mage of concentrates averaging about
~ per cent. zinc lying on the floors
at Broken Hill and wharves at Port
Pirie. South Australia.
Apart from the loss or a. certain
number OF ships, it must not be for
gotten that owing to the extraordin-
airy output of other Australian pro-
ducts-wheat in particular-there is
a much greater demand for freight
than even in normal times, SO it is
not unnatural that there is some con-
gestion, apart altogether from the
fact that SO much shipping has been
absorbed for the transportation OF
troops. 1t Is noteworthy to mention
that both the United States of Ameri-
ca and Japan are contriving to draw
largely on Australia for raw supplies
for their smelteries. Lack of shipping
has prevented Holland from import
ing concentrates or icaIamines, and
some of the zinc works in that coun-
try have now been shut down, and
the hands employed in the smelling in
dustry have been put on the land to
assist in food production.
The distillation works at Port Prize
smeltery continue to produce at the
rate of 5000 tons OF spe1ter per an
mum, and it is expected that the cleo
trolytic works at Hobart, Tasmania,
now under construction, will very
shortly. be brought into commission
This electrolytic company has engag-
ed technical experts from Great Bril-
tain and America, and arrangements
have been made with the Tasmanian
government for contracts for power
1t viii be one of the most important
companies of its kind in the Com
monwealth. Contracts have been
made between the Zinc Producers AS
ISOLATION and the British government
for the supply of 100000 tons per
annum of Australian zinc concen-
trates for 10 years, beginning 1918,
and contracts for up to $4,000 tons
of spelter annually for the same per-
iod have recently been signed. It will
be seen that Australia is a very i'm
portant factor in the supply of raw
zinc, and the Zinc Producers Asso-
citation is the one channel through
which zinc in any form can leave
Australia.

SAVE CLOTH BY
CHANGING STYLES


Chicago, July 6-Fat men will look
fatter and thin men thinner, If they
conform to the styles forecasted for
the coming season by garment au-
thorities here for the convention of
the National Association of Clothing
designers, which opened yesterday.
The scant English styles are to be
resumed, they say, and suits will be
patterned with sharp, form defining
lines.
1t Is predicted also that spring suits
in 1918 will be without belts, cuffs
or pockets.
Scarcity of wool is credited with
much of the responsibility for these
radical changes in style, and govern
ment orders for cloth conservation
have prompted economy in coats and
suits. The contemplated elimination
of excess cloth from clothing will
save approximately 10000, 900 yards
during the year. according to Fred
erick A. Reiff, of Chicago, who pre-
sided at the convention.

Epworth Leaguers
Enjoy Group Picnic

The Bridgeport Group Of Epworth
Leaguers held a highly successful and
enjoyable picnic at the historic Put
nam Park near Bethel, July 4. The
young people gathered at the First
M. 3. church at $50 a. m. where they
held short devotional service. At
ter this they climbed into three buses.
The long ride successfully over the
young people were blessed with ex-
traordinary- appetites and they pro-
ceeded to attack their lunches with
great vigor.
The result of the races were as fol-
lows: Three legged race for men won
by Anderson and Olson of the Swed-
ish M. E. church; Indian club relay
race for boys won by the team from
the First M. e. church; Miss Mildred
Wallis of Newfie1d M. E. church won
the onion race for girls and Mr.. Good
win of Washington Park M. e. church
was successful in the boys contest.
The baseball throw for girls was won
by large margin by Mrs. Woodaf Of
the First M. E. church. Other games
were played and enjoyed by all.
About 6 o'clock everybody gathered
together at the pavilion where a light
lunch was served.
The success of the outing was due
to the work of President Edgar
Kuehne and Secretary Nelson, and
the cabinet of the group. The chair
men of the committees are as follows:
Transportation committee, Chris.
WeIche, First NJ. E. church, Howard
Macy, Grace M. E. church; ticket
committee, Harold R. HallSworth,
Newf1eld M. E. church; advertising
committee, Miss Hitchcock of WASH
ington Park NJ e. church; eats
committee, sports" committee, H. r.
Hal1sworth, Newf1eld M f.
The outing was the first the Bridge
port group has attempted and will
undoubtedly be held again in the fu-
ture.

Predicts Failure Of fChancelLOr in
 Percent Crisis
CBy Review Leased wire.)

COPENHAGEN, Oct. 15.-It is be- lieved that the political situation which has arisen because of discon- tent in some quarters with Dr. Mich aelis, the imperial German chancellor. will reach a crisis before the reich stag reassembles in December Dr. Michaelis remains in Berlin. conferr. ing with reichstag leaders and his per sonal adviser, endeavoring to find solution of the situation, but accord ing to advices received here he does not seem to realize that his own posi- tion is endangered The political leaders and the newspapers continue to declare his unfitness for the high office he holds. They point out his failure to develope any positive pro gram or to exercise any effectual leadership. On the contrary, they say he has permitted himself to be buf fetted hither and thither, now by the pan-Germans and now by the reich stag majority, which have wrested from him one grudging concession after another
 The chancellor's biggest blunder, in the yees of the moderate press, was his rehabilitation of the independent socialists by his disclosures concern ing the mutiny on German warships, thereby driving the socialists into op- position which many persons believer will unite the two socialists wings in, to a powerful radical opposition. Even the pan-Germans say that unless Dr. Michaelis is able to rule the situation with a stronger hand he had better resign.

COMMERCIAL CLUB STARTS WAR CAMP
 RECREATION FUND
Jesse Yoakum Heads Commit tee to Raise Funds for One of Worthiest of Purposes.

President Woodrow Wilson in a re cent speech stated that the conner cial and civic organizations of Ameri- ca would be a direct service to the winning of the war. in Bisbee this applies directly to the Warren Dis trict Commercial Club.
 Experiences at the camps already established has clearly shown the vital necessity for wholesome environment for healthy social contact in the ad- joining communities. This contact during the next few months is going to be the determining influence in making the spirit of the new Ameri- can army To the soldiers it will re- fleet the attitude of the entire nation toward them.
 The novelty of camp life wears off quickly The routine of drill and in struction soon pals unless there is re- taxation and change of scene in the communities nearby. It pals on these men who are going to fight our bat ties exactly as it would on you if you were in their place.
 The plan to eliminate this condition Is to furnish the enlisted men hospi- tality in social circles, to promote wholesome amusement in public places and to provide for their enter tainment in general, thereby prevent ing the exploitation of the boys by commercialized attractions of an un- desirable sort.
 To carry on this work successfully in communities a nationwide cam paign is to be started at once for the War Comp Community Recreation Fund
 This campaign has been taken up locally by the Warren District Com mercial club. At a meeting of the board of directors held Wednesday night Jesse Yoakum was appointed chairman of a committee to arrange for Recreation Fund in this district NIT. Yoakum will name and have pub lished full list of the committee in the next few days When the con- mittee calls on you. dig deep, for the cause is worthy one.
