GERMANY'S BRASS AND COPPER.
The extent to which Germany is increasing its supply of brass, copper and other metals, says "Iron Age," is illustrated by the testimony of a wounded British soldier on furlough at home. Kef erring to tbe large amount of old metal waiting to be gathered up after the war, he said it would be chiefly steel, for the Germans appear to be collecting the brass in thorough fashion for remelting. In several captured German trenches and dugouts he had seen little canvas bags partly filled with broken fuses nose-caps and other brass scrap, indicating that this method of collecting is toeing systematically carried out by tie enemy. ,
