GERMANY SHORT OF METALS
Anxiety Among War Lords Leads
to Official Statement

London, June 6.-The great anxiety
among German authorities over the
shortage Of metals is seen in an official
statement Just issued
The demand does not seem to have
been met by the capture of booty
about which so much has been said In
the German communiques. The Ger
of the war lords SC literally that the
authorities responsible for the metal
supply have had to issue an official
statement on the matter.
The official statement adds gloomily
that the demands for precious metals. .
especially copper, continues to be sc
great that 1t has been necessary to issue
new "ccnfseation" orders.

those running to the enemy's new
front canot yet be in working order.
The Allied reserves must. therefore
now be reaching the battlefront faster

Prince proposes to continue the battle
on the present front. he must be pre-.
pared for a slugging match and, at

Ever since Verdun. German opinion
has been set against what they call
the Dauerschlac cht--that is. long
hammer-and.tongs fight. The proba.
bilities are. therefore. that the present
nhase Of the third German offensive
Of the campaign of 1918 is nearing its
end, though it is possible the Germans
may keep up the pressure for a time
for the object of either drawing in
more Of the Allied reserves or of tying
down those they have already drawn

stabilization is to be avoided. the bat
tie of movement kept alive, and the
advance southwark toward Paris to be
continued, the enemy requires a wider
front of attack in order that by prog
ress in one part of the battlefield he
may enforce withdrawal In another.
Whether the enemy can at once pro-

depend greatly on what preparation he
has made to the north of the Disc
The Allies, having been in position on
the line from Noyon to Montdidier for

to prepare an attack on an intrenched
position. The enemy can hardly have

SELL BONDS TO THE STATE.

Geo. II. Waskey, former mayor of
Madison, is interested as a private
citizen in the rebuilding of the mu-
nicipal electric plant. In his capac-
ity as a private citizen he has in his
own mind been considering the best
means of replacing the burned plant.
Accordingly he addressed a letter to
the city auditor of Pierre in regard
to a city bond election recently held
in that city and received the follow
ing reply which is self-explanatory:
City of Pierre-Mr. G.. II. Waskey:
Your favor of the 18th inst, at hand
and in reply will say we had a bond
election on August Z and voted on
the question of issuing bonds to the
extent of $4,000. The vote was 313
votes in favor and 90 against. We
have made arrangements with the
state of South Dakota to take the
bonds with the permanent school
fund. Yours truly, J.. r. Rose, City
Auditor.
