Ingots show Decrease.

Steel ingot production In July at
the rate OF about 1880. 600 tons a year,
representing a decrease of 3 per cent
from the June rate, was less OF a de-
crease than was expected at this time
OF the year, and il Is believed that from
this time on the production OF steel in
so's will increase each month and bring
up the average at the end OF the year
TO very high figure.
The Youngstown Sheet and Tube
Company is operating the first of It's
TWO new batteries Of byproduct ovens,
comprising fiety-one \ovens altogether.
The second battery OF ffty-one ovens
will be ready in ten days. Coal will be
drawn from various fields as it can be
had. The Connellsvile coke capacity
that will be released by this new by
product production will. II is believed,
stlll be operative, so that there will be
so much more coke for other furnaces.

been entirely satisfactory recently, as, in
order to- maintain lake shipments of
coal, 1t has been necessary even to cut

AMERICAN CASUALTIES
 ESTIMATED 100000
Comparatively Light For Number of Men In
 Service.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Officia,s here estimate that the total casual ties to the American Expeditionary Forces in the war will not exceed 100000 including the men killed in action, wounded died of wounds, died of diseases and accidents an the miss ing probably will be accounted for when the prisoners are returned from Germany.
 It was said today, that it probably will be several weeks before the rec ord of casualties can be completed. It is regarded as almost certain that many of the casualties in the recent heavy fighting by the first and second American armies, have not yet been reported. Lists also must be compiled of unreported American casualties in British and French hospitals, especial ly from among the United States forces brigaded with allied units. Deaths from wounds also probably will be reported for some time while lists of slightly wounded being sent by couriers may be delayed.
 The daily lists for several days consisted of approximately HOO names daily. Secretary Baker, has in- dicated that a considerable number of reported casualties remain to be given out but tht these will be released as rapidly as newspapers can handle them.
 An unofficial tabulation of publish ed casualties lists including those of Novembed 12, shows a grand total of 71 ,39O. Careful estimates made today, based on knowledge of the battle con ditions faced by the first and second armies in the days immediately pre- ceding cessation of hostilities and on the average lists heretofore, lead off cers to believe that all unpublished and unreported casualties will not ex- ceed 30,000.
 Estimates based on previous records ] fix the total marine casualty in France at less than 5000.

.RUBBERNECkS READY
 TO VIEW BATTLE FIELDS
Those Who Did Not Embrace Govern. ment Invitation Anxious to Go
 Now.

New York, Nov. 13.-Already Amer ican sightseers wish to go to Europe. Allied steamship officers today were receiving hundreds of inquiries as to when the ban on passenger travel would be removed. The inquiries were told that the rigid war restrictions would remain in, effect "until further notice," all allied ships as well as American being still under govern ment control. It was the opinion among the American steamship off, cials that steam for resumption of pre-war steamship travel on any ex- tensive scale was Hong way off" however, preparations were under way today for prospective large increase in business and resumption of regu- lar sailings. Several of the largest liners under neutral flags, now are in this port. For these ships, it was said at the offices of their owners. there are applications for more than suffi- cient passages to fill all accomoda- tions.
 The European embassies in Wash ington already are receiving many ap- plications for permission to take pas sge for Europe. It was explained to- day that they have been obliged to re- ply that not only is there still need for governmental purposes of all avail able transports n- services but the continuing necessity for the strictest conservation of the ships: supervising the transition, 1t is con- sidered certain that tho government proposes to maintain centrali5ed control and to exercise very posi- tive supervision over business.

 General Gorgas freed Havana of yellow fever, he has fought disease in many parts of the world and he has made the American army the healthi- est and best cared for body of men to be found anywhere on the globe. Still in the possession of health and vigor, and ripe in experience, able to keep long hours in his office, to walk to and from his office, more than mile, and to climb seven flights of stairs in the Mills building several times every day, because he hasn't time to wait for an elevator, General Gorgas is "sixty-three years young"

coLERIDGE AND COLOGNE

From the Nashville Banner:
 The Kaiser's city of Cologne has been made to suffer for the atrocioss bomb dropping policy inaugurated early in the war against English and French cities and villages. In recent reprisal bomb ing by British airmen the German town was severely damaged and quite num- Der of citizens killed and wounded. Co., logne is so called by the French. The German name is Koln, or, more prop erly, Koeln. It has long been famous for the perfumes made in it's factories. and which bear the French name of the place. It is not an altogether attractive city, if we are to take the description penned by Coleridge quite number of years ago. He wrote:
 Tn Koeln, town of monks and bones. And pavements fanged with murderous
 stones,
 And rags. and hags. and hideous
 wenches,
 I counted two and seventy stenches, All well defined. and several stinks! Ye nymphs that reign OCT sewers and
 sinks.
 The River Rhine, it is we'll known, Doth wash your city of Cologne; But tell me, nymphs. what power divine Shall henceforth wash the River Rhine"'

THE WRETCHED GERMAN BOY

Why do German children lack sense of what amounts to applying the Golden Rule to rastirnes? Probably because it has been the official Prussian idea that such stuff is nonsense. MT. Frederic C.. Howe, who before the war was an ad- mirer of many things German, wrote in his Specialized Germany" of the Prus- sian method of keeping school children in bodily health:
 Physical culture and gymnastics hav,1 been developed with great thoroughne during the last two decades. In mol schools three hours per week are del voted 10 physical training while in Prus- sia all schools have daily calisthenics which, wherever possible, are provided out of doors. Gymnasium courses for boys provide drills which will later be of use to them when they serve with the colors, such as rapid falling down, ris- ing, etc. Tho regular physical training is supplemented by long walks in the country. with practice in distant vision. in calculating distances. and the devel- opment of the sense of direction
 In other words, no play for Hans ex- cept that which would make him useful in war! The childs s natural instinct for sport is smothered by the King, who watches a crop, not of children, but of cannon fodder.

From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 N MOTHER contribution to the at- LA\ tempt to solve the mystery of 6 S German brutality was made 5y MT. William Heyliger in an address be- fore the convention of the American Booksellers association:
 "Germany has no national sport. Her boys have no books dealing with fair play and boyish standards of honor in competition. Perhaps this is why she stands convicted of the foulest crime against fair play and decency."
 German-English dictionaries contain the phrase, flair play but the defini- tion is given only as "ehliches spiel" the literal translation of the English words There is no distinctively German word or phrase to depresent the sports mans code.
 There are beyond doubt many German individuals who have the sense of fair ness in sport, in business and even in battle. It is peculiar, however, that since the war began the German aviators are the only German soldiers whose decency in combat has provoked from the enemies of Germany the kind of praise which in most wars between civilized peoples has been mutually and frequently able to observe German chivalry comes to life only in the upper air.

Must Make It An
 Intensive Drive

II INTEREST in the War Savings
 4 drive is increasing. The Baby
 Bond campaign is being speeded up and State Director Crawford Johnson hopes to make the great drive in June the&most intensive ever seen in Ala bama.
 The Liberty Loan and the Red Cross lcanvassers, in reaching remote locai- ties did patriotic educational work of high value. They aroused the peo- Iple and obtained large results; and if they were successful in the rural pre- cincts the War Savings workers should find it still easier through the medium
 of the country schools to put them selves in close touch with all isolated sections.
 The school children, once organized, can accomplish wonders. The farm CTS are prosperous and few there are who cannot afford to invest generous ly in Baby Bonds. Every child can save enough money to buy at least one bond, and every well-to-do farmer
 should be induced to purchase not simply one of these modest United
 States securities, but many of them.
 The War Savings campaign is one of the most important yet launched. In one of it's aspects it is the most important, for it develops the habit of thrift, which will stand the people in good stead long after the war is over. The fact that two billion dollars is to be raised for the government by the War Savings method is important, too, for Uncle Sam will need it all, but the idea of thrift must be para mount.
 Everyone, therefore, who helps in
 the June drive will help him or her. self in Misunderstanding by practic- ing thrift. Let's make this drive of record breaking proportions, just as
 other patriotic achievements have caused the world to marvel and ap- plaud

HOW WE FIGHT IN FRANCE

Lucian Swift Kirtland, in Leslies
 The Americans are using what is some times known as the new French system German system. At the beginning of the war the front trenches were held very thick especially by the British Now tLe scheme is to have only hand full of men in the first line, one man to hundred feet, perhaps; for the second line there are many more men and many more machine guns; for the third line men are much heavier massed and re- serves are available.
 This theory of defense against raids is concentrate his men in his front lines for a sudden lover the top''-then lay down a heavy barrage. When the attacking troops come over they strike the first line with their maximum impact They are likely to overwhelm any ordinary de- fense and thus it is waste of men to try to defend the first line obstinately. But the human body gets tired, and when the machine guns and rifles of the second lire have had their innings at the attackers. the Boches are beginning to slow up from natural exhaustion. On a counter attack, then, the third line, be- ing fresh, meets the enemy tired from exertion and proceeds to drive him out.
 Thus, as VIC waded through the mud, sometimes we'll over our knees as we vis- ited some of the half-deinolished lines which the Germans had tried to flatten with their artillery in their last raid, we did not find much society, but the snip CTS, whom we did find at their posts, seemed to have been born to the job. They were men who knew their rifles, and it was statement of fact, and not boosting, when they declared that they had the German sharpshooters buffaloed We came upon one lan<y ex-cow-puncher who had been having four-hour duel with a "Bush,' as he called him. He didn't know I was taking his picture, but just as the camera clicked so also did the hammer of his gun. This .ime MT German had taken one too many chances. The fact was proved through the periscope.

One of the best bets we know of Is that a contented man is going to get his pay raised. Pay no attention to your critics. Re- member that any fathead can tear down, but it takes a hustler to con- struct.
 A liar may not have any friends. But the man who insists on telling the truth hasn't any friends either It is none of our business. But just what did become of the man who wrote, q Didn't Raise My Boy @ Be q Sol dier?"
 When a man's wife is away on d trip he can always get her to come home the next day Sby writing her that he is having a good time and telling her to stay as long as she likes. The reason why so many liars get caught up is because only one man in 50 has good memory. When we get so old and thin -olooded that we haven't any use for vine, women and song, we are not going to try and square oNrself with the Lord by Joining the other fossils who are members of societies and leagues or ganized to prevent other folks from having any fun. We can't understand why bigamy car ries a prison sentence. bigamist would receive more punishment if he were compelled to stay out of a shel- tering place and had to dodge his wives.
