War Industry requirements.

Washington, June 1.-The lesser es-

official of the war industries board in
dicated today. when he declared that
the war needs of the government and
the allies would probably be only 80
per cent or less of the steel output this
year.
This statement was made following
the statement by J. L. Replogle of the
war industries board, to steel men in
New York that the entire steel output
would be needed.
More for Automobiles.
While definite statements vary, as
the war program changes, this Off
cial, who is conversant with all phases
of the problem, declared that at least
20 per cent and possibly more of the
steel output could go into non-war in
dustries.
This was taken to mean that the
automobile industry, among others,
would get part of the surplus steel
this year for pleasure cars.
Steel plants, according to reports,
are operating at nearly 100 per cent
capacity in contrast with an 80 per
cent output earlier in the year.

BURY OWN BROTHER
WITHOUT KNOWING
(By the Associated Press.)

With the American Army in France,
June lone of the most pathetic in
cidents of the war so far as America
is concerned occurred in a little ceme-

recently when an American soldier
acting as a pallbearer at the funeral
of several Americans discovered his
own brother, Joseph Ash, among the
dead. The brothers. members of diff
ferent companies, had met only the
day before at the 'front.'
Joseph remained there and was
mortally wounded, dying soon after
ward His brother was ordered to the
rear lines with a party OF wood chop
pers. $50
The wood choppers were working
near the cemetery at the time of the
funeral and the chaplain asked them
to oe pail bearers. In the midst of
the service the chaplain read the name
of Joseph Ash The brother. who
stood with barred head in the small
group of soldier mourners, reeled for
ward. his eyes filled with tears, and
exclaimed: my brother, my
brotheri"
The chaplain, not understanding,
stepped up and placed his arm around
the young mans shoulder saying:
I'VE are all brothers, my boy" The
soldier looked at the coffin and shook
his head. THE Germans will pay for
your blood" he said. And then it was
that the chaplain and the others
around him understood and they led
him away.
