unique. The current demand is active
and production is being maintained at
Il high percentage Of capacity. The
railroads are conspicuously active
buyers. taking large quantities Of
equipment and at the same time
there is a good scattered demand from
other consumers. There is a notice.
able absence of forward buying and
little or no inclination to stock up
ahead of requirements. Offers Of steel
from abroad are somewhat larger
and increased competition is feared.
Prices are being we'll maintained as
rule. but there Is feeling of un-
certainty regarding future develop
Inents. New buying of pig iron has
been limited in volume and recent
sales have been composed principally
of small lots. Prices in consequence
are only about steady.
Copper Demnnd Improves.
A firmer tone has developed in the
copper market. Demand continued
light during the first part of the
were offered down to the 1915 cent
level. Buyers appeared at that fig
ure, however, and the market turned
upward later on reports of renewed
firmness in London.
This evidently stimulated some
buying by domestic consumers and
the cheaper offerings were soon
absorbed. with producers reporting
sales Friday at l3i:, cents for May
June delivery.
TIN sold at new high level for
the season. due to record American
deliveries of S,S45 tons and the bull
ish showing in London. Trading was
almost entirely between dealers.
Lead Advances Further.
Lead advanced further with prompt
supplies scarce. Consumption con-
tinues heavy.
Zinc is quiet as far as domestic
demand is concerned. although i
little better export business has been
put through.
Antinony stronger, due to delays

ARMY.
1t is estimated that before July
next 75 per cent of the officers on
duty in the War Department. general
staff and War Department branches
will receive their orders for duty
with troops. A similar percentage
will pertain to officers on duty at
corps area headquarters. More
changes in Army assignments will
take place between now and July l,
1t is stated. than at any other period
during peace time.
The most interesting feature OF
this unusually large turnover in the
War Department and at corps area
headquarters will be in the operation
of the eligible list for the general
staff, which. according to the provi-
sions OF the national defense act,
must be selected from this list which
is largely composed OF graduates OF
the command and General STAFF
School and War College graduates.
In addition to the operation of this
general staff eligible list, the situa-
I tiOn will be further complicated by
the regimental command and the for
the new assignments for the Army.
the Secretary of War and his advi-
sers will also be confronted with the
difficult task of making their selec-
tions and at the same time keeping
within the authorized transportation
appropriations.
Authorities in the War Department
expect that by June 80. 1924, the
strength of the Regular Army will
be up to it's authorized figure. The
total strength as of February 10
was about 111.500. Not more than
$500 recruits are expected to be oh-
tanned by the War Department for
February. S it is short month, but
ii is believed that in March the re-
cruiting service will enlist from 1000
to 1900 recruits.
During March, April. May and June
the average number OF losses will
be approximately 1900 per month
For the fiscal year 1924 the War
men. most of which separations took
place during December, January and
February. due to the enormous re-
cruiting drive waged by the War
Department in 1920 in an effort to
bring the strength of the regular
establishment up to its authorized
figure. For the fiscal year 1926 there
will be 52,S12 enlisted men who will
be separated from the service due
to the expiration of their term of
service. Following are the number
OF separations from the service
enumerated monthly. which will oc-
cur during the fiscal year 1925.

The only possible pathway to inter
national agreement with reference to
these complicated and difficult fac
tors Ia through mutual counsel and
cooperation which the plan selected
contemplates. II Is therefore the
unanimous opinion OF the Jury that
of the 22l65 plans submitted, Plan
Number 1869 is 1.-The best practicable
plan by which the United States may
cooperate with other nations to
achieve and preserve the peace OF the
world"
It is the unanimous hope OF the Jury
that the frs. fruit OF the mutual coun.
sci and cooperation among the nations
which will result from the adoption Ct
the plan selected will be general
prohibition OF the manufacture and
sale Of all materials Of war.
