LESSER ESSENTIAL
INDUSTRIES TO GET
! SURPLUS STEEL

Lesser essential industries. will get steel.
q high official Of the War Industries
Board indicated today. when he declared
that the war needs OF the Government
and the allies would probably take only
% per cent or less Of the steel output this
year.
This estimate was made following the
statement by J. l. ReplOgle. Of the War
Industries Board. to steel men in New
York that the entire steel output would
be needed.
While definite estimates vary. As the
war problem changes. this Official. who
Is cOnversant with all phases OF the
problem. declared that at least 20 per
cent. and possibly more. OF the steel out
put could go into non-War Industries.
This was taken to mean that the auto
mobile industry, among others. would
get part OF the surplus steel this year
for pleasure cars.
Steel plants. according to reports. are
at nearly 100 per cent capacity.
In contrast to = % per cent output earlier

IN FRANCE. June 1.-The Americans

tackers every time HindenburE's men
have tried to recapture the town.
The American artillery has proved
SO effective that the Germans have
been unable 60 concentrate a big
force Of infantry opposite the Ameri-
cans without suffering Casualties. As
Ia consequence the German airmen
have been unusually active over this
sector. Two Of them today pene-
trated thirty kilometers behind the

the three-PeGter which was shot down.
French AIrmen drove the machine
down.

killed.
There was a dramatic feature to
the funeral OF Joseph Ash, a private
in the infantry, who was killed by
a she'll His brother, from a neigh
boring regiment, was detailed with
working squad. The squad was asked
by the chaplain to serve as pallbear-
ers in an emergency.
As the body was being lowered into
the grave the chaplain, as is the
custom, loudly pronounced the name
OF the deceased.
The brother, who was acting a. pail
bearer. had no idea that Joseph had
been killed. He had seen him but
two days before. When the chaplain
uttered the name, the brother drop
ped beside the grave and cried:
That's Joe, 1 tell you-thats my
brother"
With tears streaming down his
face. he looked up at the chaplain
and exclaimed:
THE Boche will pay for this with
blood"
As the casket rested in the grave
The service was suspended momentar-
ly. The chaplain tried to comfort the
youth, and the other soldiers stood
by with solemn faces, making no
move for several minutes.
