HOW GERMANY GETS
SrPPLIKS FROM ENEMY
PARIS, March 3.—The magnitude
and the importance of the belligerents’
struggle for sulphuric acid has just
been exposed to the senate in the de
bate on the blockade.
Germany, according to Denys Coch
in, under secretary for foreign affairs,
imported annually from Spain 000,000
tons of pyrites for the production of
sulphuric acid up to 1912, when slm
increased her purchases there and con
stituted a reserve stock of 600,000
tons; he regards this fact incidentally
also as a proof of a premeditated
military action, anti also as an indica
tion of the poverty of Germany in py
rites-three quarters of her consump
tion of 1,200.000 tons a year coming
from abroad.
Norway, M. Cochin says, has fur
nished Germany 100,000 tons during
the war. The consumption by the cen
tral powers he estimates at 1,500,000
to 1,800,000 tons of pyrites per year
since the war began. He thinks they
have been in sore straits for this acid
and that the 400,000 tons of pyrites
they received from Norway was a
great help to them.
M. Cochin gives out no figures for
France, but mentions that immense
new chemical works were created for
the production of sulphuric acid to the
extent that the French army could
make a prodigious use of explosives
manufactured from it and also supply
certain quantities for the manufac
ture of agricultural fertilizers.
In this debate, it also developed that
a considerable part of the nitro-gylcer
ine used in the manufacture of certain
explosives made in Germany was pro
duced from bones that were exported
from France, according to Senator Ca
zeneuve, who produced figures to sup
port his assertion.
Switzerland exported 1,400 tons of
bones in 1913 and 16,000 tons in 1915.
Senator Gazeneuve could find no other
likely buyer from Switzerland outside
of the Germans, and by chemical an
alysis, demonstrates that France must
thus have furnished Germany 1,059
tons of smokeless powder.
Senator Cazeneuve said also that
raw . ilk in considerable quantities hud
been exported from France to Switzer
land and re-exported to Germany to
make fabrics that enter into the manu
facture of cartridge shells. Silk 's
ased for the purpose in all countries.
The Lyons silk industry, said Sen
ator Cazeneuve, incidentally, thanks to
the great outlet found in the United
States, had almost recovered its nor
mal trade of 1915, yet it was the silk
manufacturers themselves who called
his attention to the danger of exporta
tions of silk to be spun and then re
shipped to Germany.
POPULATION BY SKX.
(New Y'ork Times.)
About half the probable population
of the world has been enumerated with
relation to sex. About 50..'! per cent
male and 49.7 per cent female is tlv
result of this count. Only in Kurop*
among continents, do the females out
number the males, the proportion be
ing: Female, 50.6 per cent; male 49.4
per cent. In most parts of the world
of which we have information the re
verse is true. The percentage of males
in British India is 50.9; in Japan 50.5.
In the United States by the last cen
sus there were 106 males to 100 fe
males, the divisions of native, foreign,
etc., being as follows: Native white of
native parentage, 104 males, 100 fe
males; native white of foreign parent
age, 99.5 males, 100 female; foreign
white 129.11 males, 199 females; negro,
98.9 males, 100 females; all other. 185
males. 100 females.
