perately to increase their gains,
The brilliant defence of Field
Marshal Haig, however, is begin-

though the German attacks have
not lessened in intensity. Mes-
sines Ridge and Wytschaete are
the vital points on thh battlefield

April 12:— Having

On the occasion of the first an-
niversary of America’s entrance
into the war (last Saturday) the
following message was sent to
President Wilson by King George:

“The gailant deeds of Ameri-
cans on land and see have already
indicated to the enemy that his
hope is vain. Every day that
passes, a3 American troops ‘pour
in ever-increasing numbers into
France, diminishes the chances
of his success, “
“The American: people may
rest assured that the British Em-
pire, now tried by nearly four
yerra of war, will cheerfully
make yet greatergacrifices. The
thought that the United States,
under your leadership, and with
us heart and soul emboldens us
in the determination, with God's
help, finally to destroy the de-
signs of the enemy and to re-ea-
tablish on the earth the rule of
right and justice,

SHOULD RISE,
AFTER WAR -

Most copper producers: are in-
terested in the after-the-war out-
look, says the Boston Commer-
cial: Until a few months ago it
was almost’a unanimous opinion |
that a peridd ‘of readjustment
would follow the re-establishment
of peace and that prices of all
commodities, including copper,
would suffer a great decline.
Recently‘opinion in this respect
has been undergoing a change.
Those who have made a study of
the pre-war statistics-of produc-
tion and consumption are pretty
well conviriced that the price of
copper will average considerably
higher after the war than it did
Some authorities believe
that after price fixing is removed
copper will be likely ‘to eommand
somewhere, between 25: and 80
cents a pound..
, Since the outbreak of the war.
the central powers have had legs
than 25 per cent of the tonnage
of new copper than they had
been consuming previously, In
