COPPER AFTER THE WAR

Norman Hapgood, whose let
ters from London and Paris,
have been a feature in the Eve
ming Post, refers in a recent
communication to discussions
among French experts respect
ing industrial regeneration aft
er the war. They put the great.
est emphasis upon the develop
ment of French iron-ore and
water power resources. Mr..
Hapgood wrote as follows:
Germany, thus troubled by
the future, looks critically at
the resources of France, whose
strength she had planned to
shatter. A German expert es-
Inmates that France contains

three and a third times asI
much iron as Germany, al
though the great beds of Nor
mandy are not yet fully
developed. The German seizure
of the iron manufacturing re-
gion Of northern France would
have ended the war and allow
ed Germany to annex that
whole region had not England
sent to France the steel that
enabled her to hold out; and it
has been freely admitted in
Germany that she could not
have long continued the war
without the seizure of this re-
gion.
"Germany, weak in iron,
contains on the other hand far
more coal than France, and
there is a German proverb that
says iron runs toward coal. ,
In other words, great metal
works tend to be developed less
in iron districts than in coal
districts. Hence part of the
bitterness Of the fighting about
the Franco-Germany boundary,
with its immense coal implica-
tons. Thus here again we
come around to the hero Of this
article, water power. If France
is rich in iron and poor in real
coal, we see still more clearly
how her industrial future de-
ponds on the development of
her white COAL"
That there will be a greatly
increased use of hydro-electric
power Immediately after the
war, not only in France but
also in every civilized country
that possesses water falls, is a
plausible forecast. The short
age Of labor wherefrom we now
suffer is bound to continue and
the deficiency must be offset
by increased mechanicaliza-
ton. Identification, taking
the place Of thousands of coal
miners and Of railway cars, is
one of the major ways in which
that may be done. Therefore
we may reasonably expect that
it will be done. But electrifi-
cation means the use of copper,
which is Of interest to the pro-,
Queer of copper.

pro-German.
The armies and navies of
these powers are fighting our
fight. They are dying by thous-
ands every day to make the
world safe for democracy. IF
we win, we must win because
they do most of the fighting
and dying, while we only do
some OF it.
The enemy of Great Britain
is pro-German.
The enemy Of Russia is pro-
German and anti-democratic.
The enemy of Italy is against
America.
The enemy Of France is lost
to every claim of patriotism.
Do not let these pro-Germans
poison the atmosphere in your
locality by slandering our al
lies without challenge. It is
time to call down the man who
fights against our armies with
tongue or pen, no matter what
flag those armies are fighting
under.
Words are things. In such a
crisis they are dreadful things,
portentous things, things
which can not be allowed to
pass as of no account.
Germany is penetrating ev-
cry country of the world with
her hired spies and traitors.
She disorganized the Russian
army through traitors after
the revolution. She knew the
plan of Russian battle before
hand through traitors. She has
filled this country with spies
and traitors. She has financed
the [. W. W., without a doubt.
She has destroyed property
and debauched our citizens

one! Neither is there a BritOn

he may not be.
The world has in the past
been conquered by traitors
oftener than it was ever con-
quered by arms. The Mexican
people fought each other into

WHAT IS A PRO-GERMAN?
(By Herbert Quick, United
States Farm Loan Com
misSiOner.)

A pro-German is a man who,
by private or public utterances
stands in the way of a whole
hearted prosecution of this war
and the defeat of the German
will to conquer.
He may do it by finding
fault with the conduct of the
war. He may do it by imprac-
ticabfe peace arguments He
may do it through a mistaken
policy. He may do it because
he is in the pay of the German
government. He may do it be-
cause he has been befooted and
bamboozled by those who are
IN G""nany's pay.
The German will to expan-
sion by conquest must be brok-
EN- by defeat. If that -rapacious
will be not broken, the war will
not give lis peace. In all the
history of the world there new
er existed a conquering nation
less fit to rule others than are
the Germans. This is true be-
cause the German policy is so
brutal, so cruel, so scientifical-
ly discriminating. In the streets
Of every town in German Po-
land children are falling and
dying of -starvation. Children
s to Il years of age are being
carried through the streets by
their parents because they are
too weak to walk-because of
starvation. The Poles are be-
ing eXtelminated as fast as
possible by the Germans Just
as the Armenians-the oldest
Christian nation in the world
are being eXterminated by the
Germans and Turks. Why?
Because Germany wants the
property of the Poles for Ger
mans after the war; and be-
cause they want the property
OF the Armenians for the Turks
and Germans after the war.
Their will can and must be
broken by defeat. It is not the
will Of the individual German.
IT is the bloody, brutal, cruel,
devllish will of the German
government and the German
ruling class, miseducated in the
school which believes that war
is the summation of human
good.
A pro-German is anyone who
stands in the way of our sue
cessful prosecution of the war.
Every word that falls from the
tongue of any American or is
written by him carries with it
a responsibility greater than
ever existed in the history of
this Nation. Look we'll to what
you say or do.
Germany has in this country
hundreds of papers printed in
the German tongue. Whether
this ought to be or not is a
grave question. If any of these
papers are loyal, I do not know
OF them. Some of them NAV
be, but [ have not heard of
them.
These and other papers and
many individuals say they are
for America, but none or them
say they are against Germany.
He who is for us is against
Germany. He who is not
against Germany, tooth and
nail, in this war is not for Am
erica.
You can tell the pro-German
by another test: If he is
against France, or against It.

with their errand; always a smile
for the visitor, and quite a lively
competition as to which baby
might elicit the most admiration.
The mothers crowded round
and held up the babies for inspec-
tion, pushed in thru the throng
with proud confidence; and 1t was
very difficult indeed not to be-
tray an overly enthusiastic choice
for a little, smiling, chubby-faced,
dark-skinned mite with red
cheeks and deep dimples, and
great, round, dancing brown
eyes, and curly brown hair!
Good Director.
A stir and busting now In the
busy reception room, for here
came the director to take charge
of us. 1t was easy to see why, in
volunteering her services for
France, this sweet-faced elderly
lady had chosen the baby depart
ment, for the fairly exuded moth
erliness.
Clad in her white uniform and
the flowing white cap with the
red cross on the front, she ell
bowed her smiling way among the
waiting throng; and grateful
eyes followed her wherever she
went.
Two volunteer nurses accom-
panied her, young women equally
fitted for their work, equally en-
thusiastic. -..4 =

little cough 1t had one Tuesday,
three months ago, which was
gone on the next Tuesday, and
everything; behind the secretary,
the scales with which every baby
of France has become so uncom-
fortably familiar; in the shining
white cupboards around the
walls, supplies of bandages and
simple remedies, and testing
paraphernalia, and mysterious
looking minor surgical instru-
ments, and such adjuncts.
But hush, This is no place for
idle curiosity; no space In this
tiny room for mere useless visi-
tors, because there Is a consulta-
ton going on; 80 the two visitors,
and the earnest, self-sacrificing
woman who was their guide, and
Madame the Director, and the
two nice-looking nurses, pushed
themselves back against two sec
lions of the wall, in two silent,
solemn rows, and stared.
The patient was young party
by the name of Pierre, who OBJ
jected violently to having all his
clothes removed, and to being sup
ported on his stomach in mid-air
on a firm, broad hand, while an
ear was pressed against his spine.
He had little sympathy. His
mother, a woman In black, who
was strong and quiet, merely
smiled, tho she held up her red
dened hands half hesitantly,
ready to take him back and dress
him.
The audience smiled, because
he was such a nice baby, pink
and beautifully chubby and vel
vety of skin, with tender little
creases around his ankles and
wrists, and little round marbles
of toes which tried their best to
shut up tight like his fists.
The secretary smiled, too, and
already began to write the ver-
dict on the card of Monsieur
Pierre; and the doctor smiled, be-
cause that violent protest was
exactly what she wanted. The
slightest trace of a wheeze In the
lungs would show in that cry.

Babies of Every Tint.
Before we opened the door OF

Frances future population, we
knew that we were at the right

mothers and the mothers laden
