A year ago German economists were
divided Into two schools, one of which
saw salvation In the Mlttel-Europa Idea,
while J he other Insisted that German
Industry could not be re-established un
less the Germans had control of the
Bean. Now both schools are merged,
and a cry of despair Is going up that
no peace can- be satisfactory unless. It
provides foran ample supply of raw
materials for 'Germany.
J'Thls Idea, Is being developed In ven
the most tlre-eatlnglnewspapers, and the
belief Is growing here that a demand
for raw materials will form the real
kernel of the next peace offensive. ,
"Germany will. In fact, demand an In-'
demnlty In raw material." said a. well-i
informed publicist to our correspondent
They hope to go on now until they get
some sort of military victors, and will
then put forward proposals ot which suf
ficient supplies of raw materials will bs
the one that really counts. To secure
those they will be likely to suggest very
considerable territorial concessions."
The same authority had little hope of
Internal revolt!) In Austria. He re
marked that the power of the machine
gun wag now so great that popular ris
ings were virtually things of the past
The best the Allies could expect, he
thought, was a sort of passive revolution
and a general lack of vigor which would
be a continual Source of weakness and
depression to the Germans.
NO GRAIN TO AUSTRIA
FROM GERMAN STOCK
Wolff Bureau Makes An
nouncement Vienna He-
proaches Berlin
Special Cable to El ening Public Ledger
Copyright, 1919, by Sew York Times Co,
The Hague, June 22.
The tension between Germany and the
duel monarchy Is considerable; for, while
the Polish question Is far from being
settled, food conditions In Austria, espe
cially In Vienna, are extremely serious,
and Austria now reproaches Germany
tor not fulfilling her agreement as to
the division ot booty from the Ukraine.
The delivery or grain, during the last
week, according to statements made by
the municipal council ot Vienna, has
fallen ao far behind that Austria Is now
2000 carloads short of the supplies which
were destined for the civilian popula
tion. The Austrian food dictator has
gone to Berlin, accompanied by the
Austrian ambassador, but the Wolff
Bureau reports from authoritative
sources that no gain will be supplied
from German reserve.
The blunt statement of the Rhelnlsche
Westfallsche Zeltung regarding Poland
will hardly serve to Improve relations
between the two allies. This paper
saya that 'the Austro-Pollah solution of
the question, Is Impossible, and remarks
that, while every German admits Austro
Hungarian efficiency during the war,
Germana without exception also recog
nlxe the plain fact that Poland, save for
a smal section in the southwest, was
won by German troops, and that the
.freeing ot Gallcia was mostly the work
of .Mackensen's army, r
IL la, therefore, logical, sajs the
Zeltung, that only Germany has the
right of a conqueror oven Poland, and
that If ,, Germany ,has .pot. uaed this
right, and Poland la not annexed, then
thefqueatlon must be solved In Ger

In answer to an Inquiry w nether the

that both German and Austrian Social- j

"Does Scheldemann still support the

Mr. Troelstra answered:
"Ves, Scheldemann still supports the

GOVERNMENT CONCERN
GRABS GERMAN COPPER
Private Utensils Not Seized by
War Office, but by
Monopoly
By WALTER DURANTY
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Covyrlaht, lilt, bu Seu. York Timet Co.-
The Hague, June 22.
The requisitioning of all copper and
brass articles In private houses In Ger
many has caused discontent and torn-
iriAnt A.sneclallv as the seizure was not
made by the War Office, but by a big
company under the Government formed
for thla purpose.
The shipping organ, the Weaer Zeltung.
explains to its readers that It must not
be imagined that Germany does not
produce enough copper, and draws con
solation from the fact that In the Middle
Ages Germany was the most Important
copper producing country, -me yaper
says that statistics of 1910 show that
Geimany produced 21,700 tons, the dual
monarchy 1700 tons, and America 494,-
900 tons. Germany, It says, requires
more copper than she produces and has
been obliged to. Import from America.
Her copper is poor as compared with
American, and the copper magnates realr
ize their power In this monopoly and
have never failed to fix prices according
to their wishes and Interests and are In
deed quite unscrupulous.
The paper safys that prices for Amer
ican copper In Germany have -varied
anyvyhere between 112 and ISJ mark
per 100 kilos. Never before. It says, has
there been such a demand for copper
aa now. and even In America there Is a
scarcity owing- tp the. tremendous de-1

nmirhfr In France. June 22. -VI
Since' my first visit to the newly JW
arrived troops of the United Statesiback ',
of the British lines three weeks agft,
great progress has been made In ar-li!
rnneemenlH for completing their train
ing nnd putting them Into the fighting. ,tej
There was necessarily some confusion A,
at first. Thce troops were rushed over v
to give General Foch a priceless element
of reserves with which to buttress hjs
armies against Hlndenburg's effort tb.de
stroy the Allied armies by a sudden over
whelming nttack. .
The London and Paris Governments
made such representations to 'JVashlng
ton as to convince President Wilson,
and with, the consent of Secretary Baker
and General Pershing, old plans were set
aside and new ones, involving radical
changes, were substituted. These were
carried out with a promptness and effi
ciency characteristic of America when
thoroughly aroused. 4 r
Hurried Dana Modified
All of this has been stated before.'but
there has been a modification of these
necessarily hurried plans. The arrest
of the German offensive gave opportunity
for a careful re-examlnatlon by General
Pershing, who, with the full approval
of both British and French, has put
order and svstem Into the general scheme
of American reinforcements, concerning
which In the early stages, the Uma ele
ment had to be treated as paramount.,
As before planned, the American In
fantry and machine guns units will be
equipped here with artillery and other
accompanvlng services, but under the
revised plans, our troops will be Kept
together as American units to a much
greater extent. ..
While General Pershing fell In gal
lantly with the Allied demands grow
ing out of the German offensive, he
never gave up his original Idea ot main
taining the American army as Mich
While many others felt that the plan
of brigading American troops with Brit
ish and French meant absorption, Persh
ing clung, perhaps somewhat obstinate
lv. to the original scheme of a main
American army, with Its ports and front &
and lines of communication. ,v j
The development of the great battle n
rendered the fixing of this 'ront, im
possible, hut It also pointeo out tne wyy ?
for retaining American identity 1 ?
wherever the units might be serving.

Constant movement Is one of th,bfst;

Brigading with the Allies goes ort Just -Sfi

Is to put our men In "on thelr own "
This trend has becmaotentuated by
the fine performance of our troops lit
Picardy and on tho Marne. which haa
strengthened the , Allies morale far
bejond the Immediate results achieved,
important as those were.
Pershing has steadfastly adhered'to
his own Ideas of training men for open
warfare In the face of contrary advice,
when he first arrived in France, and
he has insisted especially on ride prac
tice. If evei a general's Judgment was
vindicated Pershing's was In the snow
ing made by our troops on the Marne.
It Is these practical results that have
modified European military opinion
Whereas a few weeks age the American
toldle-rs were usually thought as "ad
mirable material," they are now classed
as shock troops. Even body Wants to
see them holding their own line under
their own officers, with Pershing In 'gen
