MINE OPERATORS
DUBIOUS O VE R
COPPER STATUS

TUCSON, Dec 3o.-Arizona mine op.
orators in meeting here today were in
clined to believe that curtailment Of
operations would become necessary, in
the face of from eight hundred million
to a billion pounds of surplus copper.
but declined that in view of the vital
interest Of employees, further time
should be given to investigation of the
situation. Information from other cop
per states indicated their operators
equally uncertain as TO steps to take.
Developments attending the earl lam
uary ectio- ~ the copper metal market
are expected to give light that will en-
able action along such lines as will best
protect Workmen and copper mine
shareholders. Both would suffer great
ly from complete suspension of copper
production. an outcome that will prob
ably only be averted by early curtail-
nent of present rate of output. which
also means reduction in employment.
Federal Administrators Davies and
Meyers were here today, but said they
had no 7dvices from Washington, en-
ablir/ them to advise the meeting as to
government metal situation probabil-
ties, and therefore were unable to take
any part in the meeting.
The approximate figures used in ar
irving at estimates Of surplus copper
were gathered by Secretary J. E. Curry
Of the Arizona Chapter of the American
Mining congress.

Announcement Of Peace
Plans Hailed By Ameri-
can Delegation-Clemen-
ceau Gains Confidence Of
Chamber = Nations Are
Closer Than Before

PARIS, Dec. 30.-This has been the
most active days discussion in peace
conference circles since the American
delegation arrived, as the declarations
of Premier Clemenceau and Foreign
Minister Picflon in the chamber of dep
uties last night gave a rallying point,
in the form of the first official an
nouncement on the plans of the French
government.
The statements disclosed that France
had determined upon its line Of action,
practically on all the questions in
volved, including a society of nations.
on which NJ. Pichon said the details
were being formulated.
Premier Clemenceau's statement on
the freedom of the seas was the first
announcement from a high authorita-
tive source This was accepted as
showing that the British and French
viewpoints were in accord. NJ. Clemen-
ceaus reference to his talks with Pres
ident Wilson indicated that they had
tended to bring out the significance OF
the French premier's previous conver-
sations with the British prime minister,
regarding the action of the British fleet
during the war, without which he ad-
mitted France could not have continued
the war; as well, as his favorable atti-
tude toward the future British fleet.
Clemenceau Gains Confidence ..
The sentiment prevails in conference
circles here, that the American atti-
tude will not become definite until fur
ther knowledge is obtained, concerning
the conversations between President
Wilson. Premier Clemenceau and Pre-
mier Lloyd George.
| NJ. Clemenceau'S overwhelming ma
| jority on the vote of confidence in the
| chamber of deputies makes him a COM
manding figure in France. similar to
| that of Lloyd George, as result of the
British elections. 1t is expected that
the names of the French peace dele
gates will soon be announced as a re-
suit of the strong support given to the
cabinet.

to the general hospital power house,
broke in the door with a gentle rap,
and advanced in a friendly fashion to
meet Engineer J. Kral, who was in
charge. Kral rubbed his eyes and dis
appeared. The animal scratched her
back on the switchboard, reducing it
TO twisted metal. The four truants
were finally captured. G. Lehman S

Earned World Attention

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-Dr. Henry S.
Tanner first came to notice in 1877, in
Minneapolis, Mimi. when he abstained
from food for AZ days. vindicating his
belief that abstinence from food would
relieve asthma, rheumatism and all
ment of the heart.
Owing to widespread doubt, especial
ly in medical circles, as to the genuine
ness of his exploit, Tanner offered to
repeat the performance under any cir
cumstances which might be named.
After long negotiations the test was
arranged, and in the summer of 1880,
in New York, he underwent fast of
40 days. For fourteen days he was
confined in bare room, and was al
lowed neither water nor exercise. The
last 26 days of his fast, he was per-
mitted to take a short walk through
Central Park, and to drink from a
spring. He suffered no ill elects from
the fast.
The press at that time devoted entire
pages to the test and Tanners exploit
was the subject for discussion by
medical men for many Years.

London, Aug. 1-Sir Eric Geddes.
first lord of the British admiralty, gave
the house of commons a review of
the naval situation, and particularly
defended the policy of starting nation
al shlpbuilding yards in discussing
the shiphuilding program in connection
with the navy estimates.
The first lord compared the situation
today regarding tonnage with that
of a year ago Then the net loss
In tonnage, he said. was 550,000 gross
tons monthly. Submarines then were
not being destroyed as fast as the
Germans were building them. while
the merchant salpyards were short OF
men and material Four hundred
Thousand tons net loss monthly was
the British deficit. Every yard that
could take naval work had been put
on naval building.
Gradually during the last year, Sir
Eric continued. the position had
changed In many directions Instead
Of losing tonnage the worlds net re-
suit In the last quarter had been
gain roughly of 100000 tons a month.
The allied and neutral world WAS as
well off on June 30 as on January /.
1913. This result, he declared, had
been obtained by reduced sinkings and
increased buildings.
The reduced sinkings had been ar
rived at, said the first lord OF the adj
miralty. by greater productive effort
devoted to warships and small craft

lord, that the very same problem
confronted America and America met
It In practically the same may-the
same class OF yard and the same type
OF construction-and with excellent
results"
Merchant ship repairs, said Sir
Eric, are today engaging nearly two
thirds as many workmen as are en-
gagged on new construction Of mer-
chantmen.
But" he continued. "the subma-
rines have found 1t too dangerous to
