KAISER ACCEPTS
RESIGNATION Of
Won KUEAlMANN
Hintze, Former Minister to
Mexico, May Succeed Man
Who Said Cant VIM

PARIS. July 10-The German EN-
peror has accepted the resignation Of
Dr. Richard Won Kuehlmann, the Ger
man foreign secretary, according to a
Basel dispatch to the Havas Agency.
1t Is expected that Admiral Won
Hintze. the German minister at Chris
tiana and formerly minister to Mexico,
will succeed him.
DR.. Richard Won Kuehlmann be-
came foreign minister August 6. 1917,
succeeding Dr. Alfred Zimmerman,
whose retirement closely followed the
exposure OF his plot to involve the
United States in war with Mexico and
Japan In the event that this country
showed any inclination to join the en-
tente allies. DR.. Won Kuehlmann's
conduct Of the foreign office appear
ed to be more than usually successful
until June "a last when he appeared
before the reichstag to discuss the
political aspects Of the situation fac
Ing Germany. During his address he
said:
I'm view Of the magnitude OF this
war and the number Of powers includ-
ing those from overseas, that are en-
gagged. its end can hardly be expected
through purely military decisions

matte negotiations"

This statement, which fatty contra
dicted speeches by the German EN-.
peror. who only short time before
had referred to peace being won by
1.-The strong German sword" was re-
cetved with CONSERVATION in the reich
stag and with sharp criticism by the
country. It was later reported that
Dr. Won Kuehlmann's word had been
approved by Gen. Ludendorff, the Ger.
man commander on the western front.
This brought to notice rumors OF fric.
ton between Ludendorf and the Ger.
man crown prince and his coterie, who
comprise the radical pan.Germanic
elements in official circles.

tag. 1t became common knowledge
that DR.. Won kuehlmann's retirement
from office would be Forthcoming.
Some reports were to the effect that
his address was intended to inform
the German people that their armies
could not win the war, and was deliv.

peror, who. when he saw what a
storm had been stirred up, resolved

I went to the end OF the southern ex-
tension Of the Cape to Cairo line which

time at the great zinc and lead mines of
Broken Hill In northern Rhodesia. While
there saw great nuggets of copper that
had been taken from the great Kongo

mining engineers told me that more
than 100 copper mines have been dis
covered. and that more than 1000. 900

deposits consist of two great belts about

copper is said to be OF a high grade,

Well, after careful study of the

naturally. that it had been stolen
from within. The next question was
the time. Mr.. Takimoto saw the

scarcely knowing what he did, he

leo per cent. South America and
Cuba Z per cent and all other coun-
tries IL per cent. The proportion in
our favor is even greater today.
But first let me give you some idea
Of our copper competitors. They will
all be in the market to supply the raw
material now that the war Is over.
and every industrial nation will be
among the purchasers. The Germans
can control the mines within their
own boundaries. and upon the peace
terms only will depend as to whether
they are to get copper from Russia
and Asia Minor. l doubt not they have
already made contracts for copper
with Spain, and they will be combing
other parts of the world for ore for
their industries as soon as the terms
of peace are in force.
Spain has one of the oldest and
most famous of all copper mines. 1t
is situated in the southern part Of
the peninsula. not far from Palos.
where Columbus fitted out his first
expedition for the discovery of Amer
lea. The mine is known as the Rio
Tinto. 1t covers eight square miles.
and gives living to more than 50,-
900 people. 1t is worked by tunnels
traversed by nearly sixty miles Of
railways on which $50 cars are kept
running to get out the ore. This mine
has been worked for thousands Of
years, and there is tradition that
the copper used in Solomon's Tenn
Pile came from it.
Copper is one of the six metals
mentioned in the Old Testament
There are mines in the desert of Sinai
which probably supplied metal for
ancient Egypt Those mines are said
to be the oldest known to man. The
workings are still visible and they
were operated as recently as 1900
3. c., at which time bronze statue
copper came from Sinai is not known.
Among the copper deposits OF Rus
STA are some in the Caucasus noun
tains. not far from Batum, in which
American capital is Interested. The
mines there have been worked for
centuries, but recent development
work shows that they still contain
many million tons of copper ore Of
more than per cent values.
The ore lies in a fiat body, which
is from 80 to 100 feet thick on the
side of a steep mountain, so that the
overburden can be sluiced down by
hydraulic giants and the ore quar-
ried out. The plans of the Americans
were to smelt the ore on the ground,
and to equip the mines with all mod
ern mining conyenicnceS. They were
running the mines and shelters with
fuel oil brought by the company's
own pipe line from Batum and car
ried there from the Caspian oil fields
in tank cars. Just before the war

Is cents. and in 1915 1t rose to over
20 cents pound. During 1916 the
price at times was upward Of "a cents
a pound and that notwithstanding the
enormously increased production and
the fact that the exports were prac-
tically shut out of Germany and the
Other countries of the central pow
crs. Our allies bought copper in enor-
nous quantities. The Russians took
tens of millions OF pounds. The Brit
ish gave one order to New York for
200, 100000 pounds. and another of al
most double that size. The latter sale
was made by the Anaconda Copper
Mining Company and American Smelt-
ing and Refining Company and the
price was 81 cents. When we entered
the war the price was upwards of 80
cents, but Uncle Sam by appealing to
the patriotism of the mine owners
made contracts which were far un-
der the market, and the government
has saved vast sums by the mobiliza-
tion OF our copper industry in that
way.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1918-12-29

1t Is interesting to know where the
worlds copper comes from. The av-
erage production for the past ten
years has been little more than
1000, O00, 900 pounds. 1t began with
less than 1.60O.OOO.O00 pounds in 1907
and 1t has steadily increased almost
every year until in 1916 the output
was more than 3,000.000.O00 pounds.
The increase Of 1916 over 1914 Is more
than SO per cent, and almost the
whole of this increase has come from
the United States. For years we have
been producing more than half the
copper in the world. and in 1915 We
produced about two-thirds of all that
was mined. We shall probably do
better this year.
The United States is the chief cop
per country of the world. We pro-
duce six times as much as Mexico,
which Is our nearest rival. and more
than eight times as much as Spain,
which was for a long time the worlds
chief copper producer. The product
of Michigan is more than half as
large as that of all Mexico, and Ari-
iona and Montana have copper out
put greater than that of any two for
eign nations combined. Utah has
some of the largest copper mines Of
the world and the territory of Alaska
produced almost 100. OOO.O 900 pounds of
copper in 1916. During my recent
trip to that country talked with the
manager of the Kennecott mine and
was told that they could land copper
in Liverpool at something like cents
n pound. 1t was then selling for %
cents a pound. According to the esti-
mates of the geological survey for
1913 the United states was producing
60 per, cent Of the worlds copper.
Europe 10 per cent. Canada and Mex
