Liebnecht Loses Lead.
Responsibility for the disorders
in the first days of the revolution
rests on the SparticUs group, in
which Liebknecht and Rosa Luxem-
berg carry little of the influence
they once held. Soldiers and sail

lies loss would have been strategi-
cally unimportant.
So largely were facilities increas-
ed that the English armies could
have had their base at the lower

or words, American work in port
construction Iessened to a material
degree the value to the Germans of

During the second stage of the
Argonne operation a captured Ger

said.
I'VE know defeat is inevitable.

neuveTs. The work was carried out
with such precision that there were
few signs of the mOmentOus signifi-
canoe of it all. When the enemy
boats were sighted there were only
two or three members of each crew
on deck, but as the details of the
surrender, worked out during the
morning and early afternoon, more
Germans appeared from below
decks. They appeared a sullen, but
well-fed lot when the first British
officers stepped aboard and curtly
saluted. British sailors followed
the officers and the Germans went
to their forward deck and the Brit
ish and German officers went be
low to examine the first ship to be
taken. The machinery was gener-
ally in good shape. but the vessels
were extremely dirty and devoid Of
all sanitation. Everything indicat-
ing the names Of the craft had been
removed, although the Germans
conforming to instructions, readily
told the names of their boats.
The Germans anchored near the
rendezvous last night and appeared
at the appointed place promptly
The British ships, with their crews
at quarters and every gun manned,
took precautions that nothing un-
toward occurred One Of the IS
British destroyers in the fleet took
a position ahead Of the German
transports accompanying the sub
marines. Other destrOyers steam
ing on each side when the column
started toward Harwich. The col
umn was divided into five divisions
In addition to the Seaplanes that
swoOped low above the enemy craft,
dirigibles kept company with the
fleet and an observation balloon,
which was anchored to A cruiser,
kept vigil. Ten miles from Har-
wich the fleet was met by more
British destroyers, which carried
crews from British submarines
These men divided into parties OF
Il for each German boat. and each
was transferred by American sub
marine chasers to the U-boats
where the officers quickly took
charge.
Hoist White Flags.
The first submarine boat flew no
flag and it seemed a long time to
the British sailors on the other
vessels before the flag appeared
Finally, however. a white ensign
was brought out Even this last
signal of total submission by Ger
many did not cause the British
sailors to disobey the order Of ST
lrnCe. but the expression in faces
Of the officers and men betrayed
their satisfaction as each U-boat
displayed the cOlors.
At last the newly tagged subma-
rines were brought to anchor at
Harwich. The German crews were
placed on a destroyer and taken to
the two transports which had ac-
cOmpanied them. These vessels
were escorted by destroyers to the
rendezvous of the morning where
they were left to make their return
trip to Germany alone.

ARE YOU FILLING THE SHIPS?

Ships! Ships! More food ships!
This is the cry of the allies.
We have had to treble our original
program of shipping troops and &C
coutrements In order to meet this
emergency and at the same time keep
up our enormous shipments of food to
the allies we have had to meet one
of the greatest crises that nation
ever had to meet.
Our problem was intensified be
cause OF our lack OF ships. Before
the war we had sixty eight shipyards
in this country, against England's
400 Now, however, we exceed all the
allies In the number of ships we can
turn out. Our average is one and a
half ships a day. The shipping board
hopes soon to raise this output to two
ships foated daily, or an increase OF
100000 tons OF ships a month.
This is the way the shipbuilders OF
this country have responded to that
insistent cry across the water, more
ships Of food!"

FUTURE OF COPPER

The copper industry in all sections
expansion and activity if we are 10
believe writer in the North Ameri-
can Review He says:
The end of the war will find areas
in Europe and Asia, inhabited BY one
hundred and fifty million people prac-
tically without pound of copper, and
when to these We add the territories
that Germany has Overrun and de
spoiled we will have population of
not less than two million who will be
in a state of copper famine"
II may be that he is exaggerating
slightly, but there is much truth in
what he says We know that there
Will be great scarcity. and that al
though substitutes may be used in
some Of the industries, in many it is
practically indispensable. and the de-
mand will be enormous
We have only to look at the copper
resources OF the world to see where
the great amount is coming from. The
copper in the countries which are now
dominated is insufficient for its needs
in peace. to say nothing of var times.
The conclusion will see it without
the areas from which it gets its do.
ll Of
mines in Serbia and Turkey Those
in Serbia are not very extensive and
were partly demolished as the coun-
try was captured by the Huns. the
loyal Serbs preferring to ruin their
mines rather than to let the Hun use
them. In Turkey the copper area is
very extensive and hard to get at. and
the ores are OF very poor grade.
TIL" wastage among the allies as
we'll as among the Huns has been
very great, and even though after the
war their supply may not be com
pletely exhausted it will be very short
and they will have to look for new
fields lor their own copper as we'll
as Tor copper to see the rest of the
world
The allies at the present time have
all OF the big copper regions of the
world open to them. The one great
und"yeloped copper region is in
northwest North America. Other re
pions are being developed to the limit
and can not supply enough. The time
element stands in the way of Alaska's
development and men are short. When
the war pressure is relieved they will
have time to go after the copper OF
the Northwest, and then We will see
the great development, The promi-
nence of the Alaskan fields which are
accessible gives proof of the good
times that are coming
