the Foster bill, Bernard M Baruch, chairman of the war industries board, explained that no one was allowed to import manganese into the United States at the present time except un- der license through a committee of the Iron & Steel institute, "and there is presiding over that committee a chairman who is picked out by me, a man n0t in the business, who pre- scribes the rules and regulations, keeps account of all the manganese imported. the prices paid for it and who brings it in. thus assuring a fair distribution to the industry which is most in need of it at the time" With imports cut off, however, there will be small need for licenses.
 c. K. Leitch, chairman of the com mittee on mineral imports of the ship ping and war trade boards, told the house committee that by increasing domestic production of manganese ores running from 15 to 40 per cent, and counting upon some production from Central America and a doubling of the output in Cuba, it would be possible to cut the importations from Brazil nearly in half and that he was about to make that recommendation
 The steel manufacturers, however, take a different view. Their attitude having been explained to the govern ment, they are now hopeful that Bra gillian ore importations will not be cut off to the extent contemplated by government officials.

German Inhumanity

The brutality OF the Germans toward
their British prisoners has been notori-
Gus from the beginning Of the war. Some
idea Of what they did to them can be
obtained from the story of an officer who
was wounded and taken prisoner and
spent several months in a hospital at
Cambria before he was able 10 be moved
and then some months more in a German
fortress at Wurzburg before he was eX-
changed. So long as the French were
permitted to care FOR him in the civil
hospital at Cambria he was treated with
