Importance Of
Raw Materials

1t is natural, therefore, that of all
the problems which have been set be-
fore the government department deal
ing with reconstruction under the new
ly created Imperial Department of Eco
Monies that of raw materials is by far
the largest and most important. Of the
nine separate sections belonging to the
new department no fewer than six are
concerned with the study of raw ma
terials, and an analysis of them shows
what materials and groups of commod-
tiles had come within their scope up to
the end of March:
Section III. Iron ores, manganese ores.
Stag, chrome. wolfram and molybdenum
ores, timber. paper. stone.
Section Nv. Lead. antimony. zinc, tin,
nickel, cobalt. copper and their CORE
spending ores. china clay. graphite and
machinery.
Section v. Textiles-Sub-sections for
cotton. wool. bast fbres (jute, flax. hemp
and textile substitute materially. silk.
rags and worn textile materials,
Section VI. Cereals, barley, maize, bran
and other albuminous feeding stuffs. meat
and live cattle.
Section VII. Sea borne unprecedented
section: Groceries. sausage skins. gum.
rubber. cane for chairs. hair. bristles. to-
bacco Except that imported overland).
Subsection for oils. fats. oil seeds and
asbestos. Subsection for skins. hides.
leather and leather goods.
Section VIII. Overland imports, import
restriction, coal and other mineral fuels.
phosphates, with the exception of phos-
phates and pyrites to be found in Asia
Minor.
These sections are assisted by ex-
pert committees for the various proups
of materials.
1t is stated that the activities of the
Imperial Department of Economics
have been confined hitherto to pre-
lminary preparations. Data have been
collected for nearly all commodities. in
order to determine statistically the re-
quirements in raw materials. Cargo
space conditions and the freight agree
ments already concluded by the shin
ping firms have also been ascertained
and will be kept up to date. Finally,
lists have been drawn up of the goods
which German firms have at their dis
posal in foreign countries by virtue of
purchase or delivery contracts, and
which will be ready for importation
after the war. This information is
necessary for the solution of the
cargo-space problem and for judging
the volume Of foreign exchange re-
quired. The attempt to obtain a sur
vey Of Germany's obligations to for
eign countries and Germany's for
eign credit balances after the con-
clusion of peace, it appears, has not
been successful.
With regard to the provision of raw
materials and goods for the various
groups Of industries and to their dis
tribution, numerous conferences with
the parties interested have in the case
Of many goods already taken place. It
is said that these conferences have
been 30 far successful that q special
organization can be established in

the boys in the service. as during the
summer months he entertained thou

Country club at Rockledge on sundays
with baseball and other recreation. Now,
with the new addition to their present

vitation tournament under the auspices
of the Shawnee Country club. Every
man before he left the first tee dug down
in his pockets and gave Reggie Worth

bill. and as 81 bills are supposed to be a
ink, the golfers gladly got rid of them.
Others did not stop with 50. but handed
out larger bills. Every cent of this will
go to the sun tobacco fund for smokes
for the soldiers abroad.
There will be only two more invitation
tournaments this fall, and the golfers
were making the most Of it, particularly

the pitched shots to the big greens stayed

Carpenter Almost Made
Trip to This Country

New York, Oct. 2.
In spite Of the talk that there was
no chance Of an American tour by
Georges Carpenter, the French
heavyweight champion, until the war
Ii over. u was learned last night
from Jack EiIer that not 50 many
weeks ago the boxer had come within
an ace Of boarding a ship for this
country.
Eller. who was v. NJ. e. A. Rth-
ietic director In France and who re-
turned here only n week ago. said
that he had arranged to have Car
pentier make tour In this country
for the benefit Of the YSM. e. A. War
Work Fund. and that the boxer was
greatly wrought up over the prospect
Of making his long-sought visit to
America.
The plans for his sailing were COM
pieted. The French military ofIiciaIs
declared that they would he only too
glad to give Carpenter u furlough
10 come here. but before he would
be permitted to leave they wanted an
official request from some authorized
American war activity. They de-
ciared that n the V. NJ. e. A. said the
word they would send Carpenter
