GERMAN COPPER SUPPLY
Are Germany’s stores of copper
incxliaustnble? The question mny well
bo asked when in the campaign in
Poland big gun ammunition is being
used upon a scale never before at
tempted. At Kovno six hundred guns
directed their fire upon a single fort,
and Utterly blew it into the air. While
this prodigal but paying expenditure
of ammunition was going on aloifg
the eastern front artillery actions
wore taking place in Flanders and
northern France of a most violent
sort, in whicn the Germans must have
expended mnny thousands of shells
daily. Some time ago the copper con
tents if the dnily output of German
shells were estimated at 318 tons.
This must linvo been almost doubled
of late, for the shell output, instead
of totaling a quarter of a million pro
jects daily, as in the earlier months
of the war, is believed to be now
much neared half a million.
Assuming that for all war purposes
Germany requires 500 tons of copper
daily, where is the metal coming
from? The sources of copper produc
tion contr died by the Germanic
powers, or open to them in neutral
countries nob ns Swcdcd, cannot pro
vide more than 50,000 or 60,000 tons
n year, while the consumption must
be about 180,000 tons. Already thd
copper in domestic utensils- has
boon commmdeerer, and mnch of the
other copper in the form of statuary
nnd household bric-a-brac has been
turned over to the government.
Church bells in the conquored districts
of Poland arc eagerly seized nnd ship
ped to the German munition factories.
It would take a great many finds of
the sort mentioned to keep the Ger
man anAies in shells for a single day.
Where is the balance to come from
for another year of war?
s The electrical installations through
out Germany contain much copper,
and the general in charge of the mun
itions branch of the war department
said recently that he would not hesi
tate to take the lighting and power
wires nnd turn them into ammunition
material should that prove necessary,
be Geuie Civil, a French technical
publication, has been figuhing on the
result of such a drastic step. There
were 4,100 electric generating sta
tions in Germany in 1914, which de
veloped 4,500,000 k.w., and used some
50,000 tons of copper intransmisSion
to the consumers. In addition, some
4,400 tons of copper were contained in
traction wires. Not all of these wires
could bo dispensed with even if alum
inum, or some other suitable metal,
could be found in sufficient quanti
ties to do the work. When Germany
gets down to stripping the electric
plants of their copper wire she will
be within about ninety days of ex
haustion. The present amazing ex
penditure of ammunition cannot go
on indefinitely. The very intensity
of the artillery fire in Poland and in
northern Franco materially lessens
the duration of the war_Exchange.
