(By Associated Press.)
BERLIN, July 13.—The German and
Austro-Hungarian troops have so far
brought down 135 hostile aeroplanes,
according to the Cologne Gazette. The
list includes 57 French machines, 47
British, 26 Russian and 5 Belgian.
In the Dardanelles the Turks have
disposed of five English aeroplanes,
and eight more English airmen have
been interned in Holland after landing
there by mistake.
No figures have been made public as |

M EIME ECONOMY
(By Associated Press.)
BELGRADE, July 13.—1a none of
■ Europe’s capitals is the meaning of
I war-time economy so thoroughly un
derstood as in Belgrade. Only about
one-fourth of the inhabitants of the
city proper are now to be found there,
and these subsist under great difficul
ties. There are no street cars or
cabs. Many articles of common use
are so scarce as to be practically un
obtainable. Even the upper class
homes have dispensed with servants.
It has become a general custom to
cook meals but once dally. The food
thus prepared is placed on a buffet to
suffice for the day with their various
wartime occupations to go through a
formality in connection with their
sustainance.
Families which would otherwise be
destitute obtain a small allowance
from the government .limited to six
cents a day for a woman and two cents
a Jay for each child.
All the cities and important build
ings are practically in ruins as a re
sult of the repeated bombardments
from the Austrian batteries in the
tofvn of Semlin, just across the river.
CABLEGRAMS HELD UP
81 LONDON CENSOR
CHRISTIANIA, July 13.—The tele
graph service between Norway and
the United States, which is limited to
the lines byway of England, has be
come so unsatisfactory as to be a
matter of grave annoyance to Nor
wegian business. It sometimes takes
as much as a week for the exchange
of messages by cable and sometimes
the cablegrams disappear altogether.
In addition to the delays caused by the
British censorship and the crowded
condition of trans-Atlantic cacbles,
there is trouble because of the break
ing of two direct cables between Nor
way and England.
The Norwegian Royal Telegraph De
partment has been seeking guarantees
that the work of the cable repairship
should not be interfered with by the
German warships, but has been un
successful. Through the courtesy of
the Great Northern Telegraph Com
pany in Copenhagen, the government
has been able to use a cable via west
Jutland and Newcastle directly to
London but this has not relieved the
difficulties about which the Norwegian
business concerns complain.

of recruits to opulation is only about
a quarter of that in Ireland as a

ENGLAND WOULD CONTROL
HL METAL MINES
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, July 13.—The interest the
British government has recently taken
in the threatened shortage of zinc
(spelter), marks the first of a series of
moves which the new Ministry of Mu
nitions plans to secure a steady flow
of supplies of the so-called war metals.
The great bulk of England’s supply
of zinc—used in cartridge cases—
came before the war, from Germany
and Belgium. There is no lack of zinc
ore, it is said, but the smelting works
of this country have not been adequate
to cope with the supply. Meanwhile
zinc has been advancing by leaps and
bounds, rising from a before-the-war
price of sllO a ton to the recent quo
tation of nearly $575. Since the inter
vention of the government the rice
has fallen back to about $4"5.
No difficulty is anticipated regarding
nickel, which is a wartime essential in
the manufacture of steel and for other
purposes. The sources of supply, New
Caledonia and Canada, are in the
hands of the Allies and theosition is
comparatively simple.
Lead comes from the United States,
Spain and Australia, and with the
seas open, it is expected that all the
supplies needed will be forthcoming,
although prices have recently advanc
ed sharply.
Antimony, which is used to harden
bullets, was formerly Imported mainly
from France, but that country is now
using practically all it can produce,
and England and Russia are obtaining
their supplies from the Far East.
Copper comes to England from the
United States, Chile, Spain, and Aus
tralia. The main difficulty with this
metal is in regard to the price, which
has risen in price from S3OO a ton a
year ago to recent quotations as high
as $4lO.
