COPPER SITUATION CLOSELY LINKED

Gently the allotment price upon

Wnlch he condensed study of the
German brass and copper situation
that appeared in the Rheinisch-W West
faeIsische Zeitung OF August 27. Ac-
cordlng to this review, German man
uIacturers have had heavy orders for
DrasS and copper articles of all kinds
since the armistice was signed, as
during the war no copper or brass
was allowed to be used other than
i'll making equipment directly re-
quired in waging war. However,
beginning with the labor troubles of
last winter there has been an in
creasing shortage of coal and a rapid
rise in prices of materials and of
labor. This has prevented manufac-
turers of brass and copper articles
from making profits, and so they
have not tried to increase produc-
ton.
"The ch-Westfaelische lei
tung, looking ahead, acknowledged it
could see no remedy in sight.
Il see no reason to believe but
that this is straightforward state
ment of the German situation. We
in the trade know that several
months ago Germany had large or
ders cited from Scandinavian coun-
tries for electrical machinery. Few
Of these orders have as yet been
filed. In many instances the buyers
advanced on the orders to expedite
delivery. In such instances the ad-
verse exchange should not have in
terfered with Germany's filling the
order. The cause has been coal
shortage.
Whenever one tries to figure upon
the time when Europe will buy cop
per heavily, he must also take into
account of coal shortage throughout
all Europe. l believe that domestic
consumers have grasped the situa-
tion for several weeks, and that is
one reason why they have felt so
sure during the past few weeks that
the copper market has been top
heavy. 1 believe it is because they
realize the Importance of the fuel
shortage in Europe that they show
such little fear of the market run
ming away from them while they
wait"

BILL HILL LEAVES
RAY in SEARCH Of
.ELEXIR OF YOUTH

"Bill" Hill, one of the oldest mem
bers Of the Ray Con engineering de-
partment, left on yesterdays stage for
parts unknown to him or his friends,
having severed his position with the
Ray Con several days ago.
Bill was one of the oldest residents
of the younger set having first arrived
here in 1916 from Butte, Montana,
where he was formerly a student in
the Montana State School of Mines.
At the declaration Of war, Bill, to-
gether with several other Ray boys,
enlisted in the artillery, and later was
commissioned at Camp Taylor, Ken
lucky, where he was instructor in
fire discipline and material. After re-
ceiving his discharge last March, Mr..
Hill again returned to Ray, resuming
his old position as transit man.
Bill was prominent in athletics OF
all kinds, especially baseball and box
ing, and will be greatly missed by the
sporting element of Ray. When ques-
toned as to his destination, Bill ad-
mitted he had a ticket as far as Phoe-
nix, and that he was on his way to
seek damper climes, where lay the
elixir of youth. Bill firmly adheres to
the belief that Gin vino veritas." The
Copper Camp joins in with his many
friends in wishing him success in re-
naming out of the hands Of the sheriff.

Possession of Principal Brass and
Wire Works Make Germany Key
to European Situation

NEW YORK-"The domestic cop
per situation is closely wrapped uI
with German Industrial conditions
because the principal brass and wire
works of Europe are in Germany,
said prominent copper man. "The
Germans formerly made the bulk ol
the brass articles and the electrical
machinery used in Europe With
American dollars at such premium
Europe cannot afford to pay us for
copper. Europe must, in other words
buy where exchange is most favor
able. The only large manufacturing
nation in regard to which Europe S
exchange is almost universally adj
vantageous to buying is Germany
That is why Germany even today is
the key to the copper situation so
far as it concerns Europe.
Europe has been buying \some
copper from us recently. She also
bought some when copper was much
higher. The reason that Germany
is buying at present is because gov
J ernment stocks are about exhausted
But these government stocks were
not large, and it has taken a year to
exhaust them. Consequently Ger
many's consumption has been very
small for more than year. Why
should it. expand now with coal so
short in that country?
Failure to get peace settled is not
the reason why Europe is buying so
little copper The truth of the mat
ter is that it is mainly shortage of
coal that prevents greater European
Luying of copper Only few weeks
ago passenger service had to be sus-

Plan Club for
Soldiers and
Sailors

Several of the returned soldiers
have taken up tie work of organiz-
ing a Soldiers and Sailors club for
the men who were in the United
States service during the late war.
The contemplated club will be COM
posed of soldiers and sailors only and
the proposed plans embrace the es-
tablishment of quarters somewhere
in the city where the men 'may sur
round thmselves with the comforts of
a first-ciass club. such as good read
ing matter, music and entertainment.
The originators of the idea have
no intention Of asking for financial
support, but expect to raise tho nee
essary funds from the proceeds of
public basketball games, dances and
entertainments. They expect to have
the support of the citizens in helping
along these affairs and believe that
in the selection of quarters the ques-
tion of rent will be dealt with kindly
by the owners and the rate per month
be made as low as possible. 1t is also
believed that many people will glad
ly send to the club room late editions
of the current magazines and per-
haps some of the business men would
be glad to donate small outfit of
furniture to get the home started.
Many of the boys have gotten into
the habit of taking physical exercise
during their training in the service
and believe that in the near future, if
the club is a success. it will be pDs-
sible to establish and equip a first
class gymnasium as an addition TO
the club.
One of the features of the organ
ization is the desire of the men to
have a place where visiting army and
navy men can be made to feel at
home. In the case of soldiers who re-
turn to the district and are unable
to find employment at once, these
