The door has copper in the lock.
Most plumbing fixtures are brass,
nickle plated. But you may be in the
library. Look at your reading lamp, or
the chandelier over your head. Or pos
sibly you are on railway train, troll

The window at your side is brass fitted
so is your travelling bag, The tele-
phone, the motor car, the Office clock,
the elevator, and many Of the things
we use, see and handle daily have cop
per in their composition.
Hardly a wheel turns or power starts
without copper. Heat, light and power
transmission over any distance is uni
versally accomplished by the use Of
copper. Millions Of miles Of copper
wire carry human thought flashes I'M

less uses copper instruments. without
copper rapid transportation by sea, air
or land would be impossible. Central
power stations are dependent upon cop
per, and few indeed are the manufsct-
uring industries which do not use cop
per in some of its multitude of forms.
The whistles that rend the air on a
thousand railways have copper in their
composition, and the morning blasts
from factories in the worlds centres
of industry are blown, struck or rung
on copper. Tons Of copper are used
annually by the manufacturers to make
the little ferrules that hold the rubber

There is no intention. he said. to re-

The statement also makes formal
announcement that Herbert c. Hoov-

on condition that neither he nor his
immediate assistants shall receive any
pay for their services.

Bismark's Policy

In the light Of German history the
plan shows how implicitly the Kaiser
has followed out the blood-andir
politico-economic methods of Bis
marck for development of Prussian
power. Considered in view of the pres
ent war map, it shows that the major
portion Of the Kaiser's war program
has been accomplished regardless of

Russia.

Reliable Information
How infinitely defined is the German
plan and how accurately it is being car
ried out have become fully apparent ONLY
with the opening up, during the last few
weeks, of several avenues of informa ton
The return of American diplomatic agents
from the Central Empires, the visit OF the
British and French war mission, detailed
confidential reports of the recent frank
expressions il the Reichstag and in the
German press, and the deductions of alert
American agents abroad watching the
newest peace moves. have supplied the
explanation Of more than one hitherto
obscured feature OF the German policy.
In her southeastern conquests it now is
apparent Germany has followed almost In
toto the long established plan of the Pan
German League whose propaganda has
been regarded outside of Germany as the
harmless activity of extremists, too rad
ical to nc taken seriously. Coupled with
this plan as an instrument Of economic
consolidation, the German officials have
used with only slight notifications the
system Of customs union expansion which
aided In former years to extend her dom
nation over the other German states now
making up the empire.
