It is now possible to produce cast
copper of high electrical conductivity
that is mechanically sound. The diff
ficulties of copper casting are due
to oxygen, nitrogen and other gases,
and this is generally overcome by
using boron, which has a high af-
finity for these gases, but no affinity
for copper.

BULLETS, NOT POETRY
Lieut.. Thatcher Nelson Occupied in Strafeing the Hun and Class Poem at Harvard Is Read by Another.

Cambridge, Mass, June 1S.-The absence of many members of the graduating class on war service nec- essitated some notifications of the customary class day exercises at Harvard university today. No ode was read, as the class odist, Alfred Put nam of Cambridge, is in France. The class poem, written by Lieut.. Thacher Nelson of Chicago, was read in his ab- sence by Ralph BoWn of New York. Hallowell Davis of Brookline was class orator.
 The usual procession through the ward had much of a military aspect because of the many uniformed men in the line. The exercises in Sanders theater were followed by the ivy cere- monies in the quadrangle behind Sever hall, with Sewell Denton, of Circleville, Ohio, as ivy orator.

WORLD VIEWS CLASH,
 so RED WAR CAME
German 'Principles" Or Anglo-Saxon JdOlatry of MammOn Opposing
 Forces, Kaiser Declares.

Amsterdam, June 1S.-The war is not a matter of a strategic campaign but struggle of two world views wrestling with one another, Emperor William declared on Saturday at the celebration of the anniversary of his accession at German main headquar- ters.
 ''Either German principles of right, freedom, honor and morality must be upheld" he added, Tor Anglo-Saxon principles with their idolatry of man. mon must be victorious
 The Anglo -SaXons, he asserted, aimed at making the peoples of the world work &s slaves for the Anglo Saxon ruling race and such q matter could not be decided in days or weeks, or even in a year.
 The Emperor emphasized that from the first he had realized that the trials of war would be great The first out break of enthusiasm had not deceived him. Great Britain's intervention had meant world struggle, whether he desired it or not.
 He said he was thankful that Field Marshal von Hindenburg and General Ludendorf had been placed at his side as counselors. Drinking to the health
 
 peror said:
 "The German people and army in deed are now one and the same and look up to you with gratitude. Every man out there knows what he is fighting for, the enemy himself ad- mits, and in consequence we shall gain victory-the victory of the Ger man standpoint, That is what is ill question.
 "In peace time in the preparation of my army for war my grandfathers' war comrades gradually passed away and as the German horizon gradually darl1ened many a German, and not the least I. hoped with assurance that God would m this danger place the right man at our side. Our hope has not been disappointed. Tn your excellency and in you General Ludendorff, Heaven bestowed upon the German empire and the German army and staff men who arc called upon in these great times to lead the German people in arms in it's decisive struggle for existence and tho right to live, and with His help to gain victory.2

 The economic situation in the in terior of Germany. the diplomat de- clared is becoming more and more serious.
 Germans. both military and civil ians, now realize and virtually admit that the constant arrivals of fresh American troops will turn the tide of the war.
 The diplomat concluded his inter- view with statement that during 9. recent secret sitting of the Reichstag the question of autonomy for Alsace- Lorraine was discussed officially for the first time since the beginning of the war.
