USED FRENCH WAR MATERIAL
M*M EsrsliaasS NeeSe* Suppliw From
CwMtry WhM They Were Plan-
Ntaf to Oeatrey.
Germany planning to attack
France went to France and bought
great stores of material* essential to
waging the war.
Disclosure of this fact, through
seizure of correspondence in the of-
fice of Oiraud-Jordan, a lending
French dealer in iron and steel ma-
terial*, has created a sensation in
political and industrial circles.
This French merchant in 1012
completed a deal whereby the
Kruppa laid in 6,000 tons of iron
iiliciurn, an essential in gun forging,
not available in Germany. The
Krupps' letters frankl.v state that
they want the material a* a reserve
store on account of tlu' approaching
war.
The French centra! committee of
iron manufacturers defends the
merchant who sold the war material
to Germany, saying he had a perfect
right to do so, but public sentiment
strongly condemns him. It is point-
ed out that he did not take the pains
to inform the French war ministry
of the preparations lie knew Ger-
many was making for a big war.

The

problem is always to find the mack-
erel schools which follow the coast
north from the neighborhood of Cape
Hatteras, and the plan now under
consideration by the falling interest*
of Olouoester and the navy depart-
ment at Washington would provide
the fleet with airplane scout*. Each
machine, presumably, will carry a
fisherman experienced in locating
and identifying schools of fish. It is
trite nowadays to liken aircraft to
birds, but the airplanes that go out
with the fishermen will sdd a new
point of resemblance. They will be
looking for fish.—Christian Science
