taking advantage of the provision of
the Webb export trade law, permitting

of the common stock, but the voting
power of the members, it was an

every 500 tons of copper produced for
export in the preceding IL months.
Mr.. Ryan estimated the copper pro-
duction of 1919 at approximately $500,
000, 900 pounds. OF this total, it is be-
lieved in trade circles that exports will
approximate 1,500,000,000 pounds, of
which Great Britain, France and Italy
will require not less than 1,000,000,0 900

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Faced by
a program of producing 1900 guns of
all calibres per month, without disturb
ing the flow of guns to the allied ma
tons, or the navys prior right, the
ordnance bureau of the war depart
ment had achieved an output of about
500 guns a month when the armistice
ended hostilities. BY June of next year,
production would have been in full
swing
These facts were revealed today by
Assistant Secretary Crowell, director
of munitions, in personally conducted
trip to the new proving ground at
Aberdeen Nd, where all types of guns
were demonstrated for Mr.. Crowell's S
party, and American built tanks and
tractors were put through their pace
Mr.. CroWell said the United States
had looked upon the allies as the first
line of defense, when this country en-
tered the war, and formulated its mu-
milton plans so as not to interfere with
the gun and ammunition contracts for
France and Great Britain. Many Amer
lean gun forgings and completed guns
have been poured across to Great
Britain, and shipments to the French
armies had reached a total of 1000
guns a month.
The needs of the navy, as the second
defense line, also gave its priority, and
the shipping board came next in the
list for steel and other commodities
needed TO carry out the huge program
mapped out for the American army it.
self. This placed the American ord

Shows Enormous Output
a striking feature of what was ac-
complished, it was shown by officers al
the proving ground, was the fact thai
in the 155 nm. howitZer program, ar
output had been reached that exceeded
the estimated needs of the American

HA|G BIDS THE
NEWSP PAPER MEN
LAST FAREWELL

COLOGNE, Monday, Dec. 16.-(By
the Associated Press. )-Field Marshal
Haig came to Cologne this morning to
make his initial tour of inspection of
the territory occupied by the British
along the Rhine. Immediately on his
arrival the British commander-in-
chief proceeded TO the famous Hohen-
zollern bridge for a meeting with more
than a score of war correspondents,
representing all the great newspapers
of the allied and neutral countries.
The occasion was in the nature of a
farewell to the writer's who have been
accredited to British general headquar-
ters. and who finished their labors
when the British completed their oc-
cupation of the territory assigned TO
them under the armistice.
In brief address the field marshil
expressed his deepest thanks for the
work done by the press in presenting
the truth of the war to the world, and
hope that the correspondents hence
forth would devote their energies in
advocating everlasting peace.
Don't Get SweIled Heads"
DO not let us get swelled heads
over our victory, the same as other
persons did after 1870 said the field
marshal during his speech.
Il wish to thank you,'' he said, for
| the great services which you have
rendered during this war, which in
mas been the greatest war IN
| history. It was impossible to do more
than you gentlemen have done.
You of the British press, from the
| beginning of the struggle, have carried
| out your work with complete success.
our dispatches have helped to give
1 -ope and courage TO our families at
eome. and TO enlighten the public as
to the magnitude of great Britain S
effort in the graet cause for freedom.
Grateful to U. S. Men
THE allied press representatives
have cemented the bonds of union be-
tween our allies and ourselves, by
spreading the truth in their respdetive
countries. by presenting our efforts in
their true perspective.
The correspondents of the United
| States have by their accounts, tended
to bring about a better attitude in
America toward the British. They have
shared largely in producing the mu-
| tual esteem which now exists between
the two countries. May this feeling
develop and long continue.
Il have also to thank those repre-
sentatives of the neutral press who
have left the security Of their homes
and who have borne testimony to what
they have seen on the British front
In no previous war have the relations
between the army and press been sc
entirely satisfactory. Perhaps that is
one reason why we are at this moment
