when there were but Ave working

The average weekly requirements

Great interest attaches to the re-
port that the British are advancing

pend for the strength with which ia
hold back the allies until he has ex-

The nations present eusiness-your

steel Is now the worlds most precious
metal. The present and constantly
increasing steel requirements Of this
country and its allies for direct and
indirect war needs. 100 per cent OF
which must be promptly supplied. are
80 enormous as to weli-nigh absorb
our, constantly expanding producing
capacity The result is obvious.
There will be comparatively little
iron apd steel left to distribute to
those Industries engaged in non-war
work and to consumers for apphca-
ton to non-war uses.
Every possible use Of iron and
steel and their products which can
be deferred until after the war must be
deferred until then. This duty is per-
sonal to every consumer and manu-
facturer. No consumption is so small
as to be immaterial and no saving Is
insignificant. Every pound collected
and sold to scrap-iron dealers finds
its way back into the general supply
OF iron and steel
"'The last quarter hour will win the
war and in that quarter hour the
last she'll will be fred. That shell
may be made from steel that has been
saved through the collection 81 scrap
or through denial of the luxury Of
purchasing steel in the form of arti-
cles which have come To be regarded
as peace-time necessities.
lit is imperative that every manu-
facturer. jobber and retailer of iron
and steel products fully realize and
make his statesmen and customers
realize that his attitude toward his
trade is exactly the reverse of that in
normal times. 1t requires no sales
manship to sell goonds when the de-
mand greatly exceeds the supply, but
II does require real craftsmanship and
a high degree Of patriotism to sell
with discrimination, with a view to
limiting the purchases to essential
uses. the controlling question being
where can these stocks best be plac-
ed. for the public interest ?"
