At what Price Must Copper Sell to
Find a Market?

Steel producers nave announced
that they are going to cut prices so as
10 be able to sell steel and keep the
mills running. Copper producers have
made no announcement yet, but they
viii also cut prices so as to find a
market where copper will sell.
The Government price of copper
% cents pound, was not too high
for war business. No price necessary
to get out of the ground all the cop
per this country and the Allies had
10 have would have been too high.
The thing to do was to get the cop
per. There had to be a price that
would enable high cost mines as well
as low cost mines to continue turning
out the fullest possible product
There had to be a price that would
provide an abundant supply for cur
rent war needs, that would pile up
as we'll a large surplus for future
war needs.
But the Government price is too
high for peace business. For the ten
years previous to 1914, the year of
the outbreak Of war, the average
price In this market was little more
than 1914 cents. For the five years
Immediately preceding 1914 it was q
little less than IA 1-3 cents.
1t Is true that in some years of the
decade preceding the war there were
considerably higher prices than the
average, due TO abnormal demand
when there was shortage of supply.
But now the shoe is on the other foot.
There Is no abnormal demand from
any quarter in the world. There is
no prospect that there will be any
abnormal demand even in the Ger
man countries until they have COM
posed their political and social dis
turbanees, have reorganized their gov
ernmental and industrial institutions,
and have settled down to old time
conditions. That day Is not near. 1t
may be far away.
On the other hand. because our
Government was doing everything 1t
could to stimulate production, as 1t
ought TO have done, and because our
producers were doing everything they
could to get copper out Of the ground,
as they ought to have done, such pro-
duction was piling up big stores. Now,
with war consumption of copper
abruptly and finally stopped. tr'"' is
In this country vast surp No.
body knows exactly how much II Is.
Estimates of the visible supply vary
all the way from 4O0,O0OO00 pounds
to 100000 pounds. Furthermore,
the high stimulation of mining cop
per for war purposes has run produc-
lion up from only about 1000, 900, 900
pounds q year not so very long before
the war to an estimated 1000, 600, 900
pounds for this year of 1918.
Wherefore, since there Is heavy
flow Of new production all the time
10 an already heavily overstocked
market, with ordinary industry and
ordinary business unable to use cop
per at the high Government prices,
copper, like steel, must come down to
find a level at which it can sell.

ALLIES ADVANCE AGAIN
SLOWING BEFORE RESISTANCE

BY Fred Ferguson, With the Amer
lean Forces in France. August THE
german artillery is now engaged in its
heaviest action since the retreat from
the Marne began. This may indicate
thai they have reached the heights be-
tween the Aisne and the Vesle rivers
and apparently intend to make a
stand there.
The area around Fismes and to the
rear of the American forces is under
terrific fire of high-explosive and
gas shells. The Allied artillery is
replying to the german fire with tell
ing effect.
The sogginess OF the ground from
the continued rain and the necessity
for increased caution is slowing up the
operations of the Allies.
Our idea of a perverted sense OF
prominence is that displayed by a fel-
low who clamors for a chance to re-
present the kaiser in an American
patriotic parade.

GERMAN ARTILLERY AIDS RE-
SISTANcE AT vESLE RIVER

Paris, August 5.-The germans are
making stronger resistance along
the Vesle river than was expected by
the advancing Allies. Although the
Allies succeeded in establishing bridge
heads across the vesle at. Fismess Ba-
zoches and Johnchery, and ere NOV
ing in on both flanks, the French of
ficial statement reported that strong
resistance was being encountered and
was delaying the advance.
The german artillery has opened up
an extremely violent artillery fire in
the last two days.
The most important objective now
before the Allies is the capture of
Vailly on the north bank of the Aisne,
nine miles northeast of Scissors.
The germans have also retired north
of Montdidier, in Picardy, for depth
of two miles on an 11-mile front. This
retirement includes a portion of the
American sector IN that region.

tage of this leniency, and as matter

REAR GUARD OF GERMANS
FIGHTING DESPERATELY

With the American Forces in France,
July 31.-The battle along the entire
advancing line of the Allies is con-
stantly becoming fiercer as the huns
vainly try to stem the tide. The
American infantry steadily pushed the
enemy back yesterday and kept up a
bitter hand-to-hand fight.
The germans continue their retreat
toward Fismes, protected by the stub
born resistance of the rear guard all
along the line from Villemontoire,
through Parcys Grand Rozoy, Fere-en-
Tardenois, and on eastward, beyond
Seringes and Serzy to Joncherey.
The Americans are firmly holding
Serzy and Hill 212, which is nearby,
against all onslaughts OF the german
reserves. They have stormed the
Meurcy farm. where the germans are
strongly fortified and are hotly con-
testing the surrounding country.
Washington, July 31.-General Per-
shing has reported under Tuesdays
date, "On -the ourcq line the enemy
has renewed his counter attacks, in an
effort TO force back our advancing
troops. In several severe combats
we have repulsed his attacks and i'm
proved our own positions"

LLOYD GEORGE SPEAKS BE-
FORE HOUSE OF COMMONS

London, August l. In a speech be-
fore the House of Commons, Lloyd
George said, General Foch's counter
was one of the most brilliant in the
annals of war. He has succeeded in
driving the enemy back, but the dan
ger isn't over yet. Until the Allies
are defeated on the sea, germany can
never triumph. The British navy's
tonnage at the beginning of the war
was two and half hillion tons. 1t
is now eight.
Our losses in the german drive in
March was greater than our expecta-
tions. but within the month 100000
reinforcements crossed the channel. as
they will probably again attack the
British front. If the British had been
overwhelmed in March, the Americans
could not have arrived in time to save
France"
He continued at length and gave
great praise to the American fighting
forces.

GERMANS ADMIT DEFEAT

Washington, July S1.-The german
general staff has admitted that their
drive upon Paris is failure. but have
promised the german people that de-
cisive blow is about to be struck
against the entire English and French
lines. according to cables from France.
The germans issued statements on
the situation In the Marne region,
which appeared in all the german pa
pers. They made no mention OF the
fact that American soldiers were In
the front line and participated in the
defeat. The statement went on to ex-
plain that while they were waiting
for the preparations for the future
operations to be completed, the ger
mans were forced to retire nCrth OF
the Marne. in order to maintain their
lines at small cost. II implored the
people not to renounce their conf
dence in Won Hindenburg because of
the withdrawal.

HEINiEs WANT PEACE?
1T WOULDN'T SEEM so

Berne. switzerland, August Cham
cellor Won Hertling, in addressing the
Reichstag recently, laid down the most
stringent peace terms that germany
has yet proposed.
He declared that germany intends
to keep Belgium under her control
until the Allies have completely full
filled the conditions imposed by ger
many. These include the payment of
indemnities and the reestablishment
of germany and austria as they we're
before the war; plus the advantage
they have gained through the peace
treaties with Russia and Roumania.
Won Hertling also said that France
must renounce all claims to Alsace
and Lorraine. The Allies must restore
to germany all of her colonies or their
equivalent, and renounce all form Of
boycott against germany and german
products.
Italy must renounce all claims in the
Adriatic region and the Allies must
recognize and accept germany's influ-
ence in and the freedom of Gourland,
Lithunia, Esthonia, Livonia and
Poland

GERMAN LINE CHECKS FRENCH
ALONG vESlE RIVER

BY Lowell Mellett with the French
Forces in the Field, August 6.-The
French have maintained their bridge
heads across the Vesle despite two
strong counter attacks by the huns.
They have occupied mill on the out
skirts of Braisne. but have not been
able to dislodge the germans from the
village as they are making des-
perate resistance with machine guns
Artillery on both sides is heavily
shelling along the entire line of the
Aisne, Vesle and Disc rivers. The
French artillery directed terrific bar
rage onto the table land between the
Vesle and the Aisne rivers, while at
the same time Allied aviators flew
over the enemy dropping bombs. They
destroyed two of the pontoon bridges
the germans had placed across the
Aisne.
Intense machine gun barrages are
momentarily checking the Allies ad
vance and they are waiting for the
artillery to get in a little more de
structive work before they attempt
further advances in force.
