British Slackers Hide Out

DUBLIN, July 3o.-The rounding up
of the English slackers who came TO
Ireland to escape conscription is pro.
ceeding thoroughly. but has not nro-
duccd anything like the number Of mon
that most people imagined to be avail
able. Estimates running as high as
$4,000 at one time were current but
the best opinion now fixes the number
at one-fifth Of that figure
The deportation of these people was
quite popular. Some OF them are sun
posed to have taken to he hills to avoid
arrest, and there are rumors in Duh-
lin that the Dublin and Wicklow noun
tans are alfording them shelter.

Metals

Strenuous, if not drastic, measures
are to be taken for the production.
conservation and distribution of steel.
AT conference III Washington on
Thursday last the governments esti-
mates OF requirements for the current
hall-year were placed at 5000 900 tons.
ABOUT 100000 tons more than was es-
tlmated few weeks ago. 1t is thought
possible that the figures may even be
increased TO 25000,000
AS at the present rate of production
not more than $4,000 900 tons of rolled
steel may be expected, it will be neces-
sary to increase the present capacity of
the mills and finishing shops. Every
pound of steel will be needed for war
purposes. Other enterprises will be
completely cut off, and even the pref
erencc list REDUCED.
Iron is relatively in a worse position
than steel. Scarcity Of the former is
largely responsible for the shortage of
the latter. Furnaces have been ham
pered by insufficient fuel supply. and
production during August is expected

demand was never heavier. ALLEGATIONS
OF IRON will be for war purposes only.
The supply Of refined copper falls

servatlon is necessary, though smelter
PRODUCTION has been heavy. No serious
shortage, however, is expected
Lead remains scarce The dealers
supply is apparently exhausted, and
producers have nothing near by TO

Lighter production ard heavier de-
mand are responsible for steady ad-
vance OF spelter, which is now firm.

LIBERTY LOAN
Atlanta, Ga, May 3, 1918

i
Dear Sir: The Third Liberty
Loan is nearing a close. From Of.
fetal and unofficial reports ob.
tainale. it Is evident that the
Sixth Federal Reserve District
again has gone "over the top
this time with larger total and
more individual subscriptions than
in either of the previous cam.
paigns. The actual figures will
not be IN hand until after mid
night Saturday, and we feel conf.
dent our fondest hopes will be
more than realized.
The great success of the loan
could not have been achieved
without the unrestricted support
OF the newspapers in this district.
10 presenting strong editorials, in
the handling Of news matter and
in placing display advertising. our
newspapers surpassed the wonder
ful records of the first and second
loans. Your cooperation on the
first loan was wonderful; on the
second loan more so, ana on the
third loan perfectly marvellous.
The able assistance rendered
your local Liberty Loan Committee
by you was largely responsible, we
believe, for the great total of sales
rolled up in the counties In your
territory. 1t is a pleasure to me
to acknowledge, on behalf of the
Government the debt Of gratitude
to you ald to extend our sincere
thanks for this noble and patriotic
work on your part.
With very best wishes for your
continued success and prosperity,
