This, of course would be but temporary, because tht moment the government permits an? substantial consumption in non-wa- r lines there will be a demand for the metal running into the hundreds of millions of pounds.

Smelter output for twenty represen-tative American copper companies in August totaled 153,060,809 pounds,. an Increase of 41,600,000 pounds or 8 per cent, over the previous month, says the (Boston News Bureau. Utah was a conspicuous gainer, its output of 19,920,947 pounds registering an Increase of close to 4,000,000 pounds from the July figure. Chile and Cerro de (Pasco were the gainers among the "foreigners." the former showing an Increase of nearly 1,000,000 pounds In August. A comparison with the mouth of August. 1917, la without value be-cause of the labor strike that two summers ago swept over the Arizona amp and in lessor degree over the Bi.Ue district. Thus the first ..eight moiiths of 118 are able to show a slight exp.ins,:cn at 1,:57,884.651 pound.;, ngaTnst 1;127,062,4 16 pounds in the corresponding period of 1917, While it is obviously impossible tc get figures of the actual war con-sumption of copper, it is known that construction of absolutely enterprises Is atari nil every-thing is being subordinated to the government needs. While it shows no diminution in its Cmand, the government is not running with bare bins, as it did some months past. It is comfortably supplied. There is no great tonnage of raw copper now mov-ing overseas; Indeed, August saw an export of but 42,300,000 pounds, of cooper, the smallest monthly outgo reported since May, 1916. Thus far this year, shipments across the water have averaged 65,800,000 . pounds, in 1917... The fact that the government Is acknowledgedly In easier condition copperwise and that the overseas movement Is declining has given rise to the feeling that before the knd of Systematic Campaign Of Bingham Liberty Loan Committee Brings Good Results Already Over The Top And Still The Good Work Is Going On Plans Were Well Laid And People Did Not Hesitate To Subscribe $28D,000 Is Already Subscribed. 'V : ...... : has already gone over the i tap. Her quota was placed at $200,000 . and the returns yesterday morning showed that the subscriptions then amounted to $280,000 and the work , Is still going on to best advantage. Eingham was the first large com-munity in the state to go over the top and one of the first in the coun-try, and the people here deserve much , credit for the whole hearted manner in which they have responded to the call. The slogan of, do your bit was thrown into the scrap' heap, and ' In- - stead the people were asked to do ' their best. And the people felt that they must subscribe and subscribe much stronger than they ever had be-fore and they have done so and are still doing it. It is safe to say that the camp will go considerably over the $300,000 mark. The committee in charge of the work had Planned ahead and had planned well. The members of this I ; committee knew just about what t6 expect of the various citizens of the ' . camp and had arranged in a aystemat-- j lo manner just how the canvassing to b carried out. Every feature I of the drive waa worked out in ad-- I vance and the campaign is now pro-- I . greasing as was planned. Bingham has j - the organization and the spirit and I her people believe in doing their best ) 1 without shirking and they are doing I It. There is nothing like getting ready for a great work and tlye terriers here I went at it with such prec".s'on' that ? tjj loan is being put - ov er '.'without J ; hi Idly a ripple.- - - - -- I Cut we still have more to do fc? I cause thet?te has not yet mfsetf Its . quota and' Ingham must help out In j '( this. In other words we are to dr oar ' I best, not our bit. We have already j done cur best, and now we must show j our colors In doing our best, j The subscriptions at tee various. ! centers in the camp show the follow- - j t ing returns: Ebnivloyes Utah Copper Co $93,000 ' " IwHtltloyes Highland 'Boy Mine. 53,000 I Employes Utah Apex Mine.... 40,000 ' Emploves U.

The boys at the front are doing their best. We must do our best to back them up. So let the good work go on without interruption. MANY BINGHAM PEOPLE 111 Pill ADDRESS Commercial Club Was Taxed To Its Capacity To Accommodate Crowds Who Came To Hear British Officer's Great War Speech Actual Conditions Vividly Portrayed America And Other Allied Countries' Compared Audience Well Pleased With The Address. The greatest war speech yet heard In Bingham was the one delivered last Friday night at the Commercial Club ' by Captain Frank Edwards f the British army to the largest audience which has assembled in this camp ." for a long time, and it is needless to say that the address made a deep and beneficial impression upon the people of this community. The meeting was presided over by J. iM. Mays, treasurer of the , Utah ? Copper Company, who made fitting remarks concerning the occasion and ' presented the opeaken and entertain-ers. The first speaker was Mrs. Nor-- ton Johnson who represented the as-sociation composed of the Y. (M, C. A., the Y, W. C. A., K. of C A.I A., Wl C. C. 8., Salvation 'Array, and the Jewish Society. , , (Mrs., Johnson spoke primarily on the work of the Y. W. C. A. In which ?he outlined what that organization . has don4flor he , improvement of , camp life in theanny c'.nce. the, be-- ! j ginning of the war. She is a spfemlid , . pleased with lier address. , . . ' " This was followed by the address of Captain Edwards, a veteran of the Boer War. and who has served three years with the 'British army In France.. He spoke In-fa-r plain, corapre--. I:enn1Me;' neloM manner nd told of '".' the actual conditions at the front and ' the condition the great conflict has produced In the war stricken coun-tries he has visited. He pictured the . serious side of the war and told of the many privations that the English and French have ndured and are still hemlcallv enduring In order that the world might be free from the German yoke. There was nothing bombastic In his talk. In fact It was the reverse. He said that In America wherever large bodies of soldiers appeared on the streets there was all kinds of shout-ing, a rather baseball kind of feeling, but In England everything was' seri-ous. He told of marching a body of -- troops through the streets of an Eng-lish city last spring en route to France, and that while the streets wer l'ned with people there was no shouting. The soldiers were going to fight and would probahlv return no more. The soldiers realized it and the people d'd also, and It was not a matter of play, but a hard difficult ' task that must be accomplished at all cost. In speaking of the ravages already made by the war he fhU that there was not a family In !Fnglnd that did not have from one to fire golden stars renresent'ne the klllpd In action. He also said that no such rntherlnus as we had here could be , seen In FnIand and FranceThe men were all In the army. So practically onlr women could appear at the pa-triotic meetings. He told of the hard-- j shins In the trenches and how during the firpt two yearn when thev were , frequently cut of shelR He told of an j In'tnnoe where his company was be-- I ing. borphn'dfd by the enemy and that ; the English guns were not re'ilvln,--', The mn were being kflld all around him and he sent a man back to the ardllrv to 8k that the b'g rttna nnen up. Tie sent a second, pnd a thrd. , and when the answer came It said, ."carry on, carry ,on; w can't rovl because we have no shell?, He said that th prcd ''ers of material bepe . should never slacken In their ef'crt to make the things the men. need at the front as there Is no telling what ' disasters may result from such a - shortage. - After the speaking at the suggestion of Mayor Kelly, three rousing cheers ' we-- o Riven tor Captain Edwards. He returned here Monday and gave an address at Hiehland iHoy and Inter in the afternoon delivered an addrpss , from the Bineham Mercantile porch In a laree aud'ence. At ibis meet'mc Mayor Kelly denounced the recent peace nropocal as German propngnnda intended for the discouragenunt cf tho fourth Liberty Isian. After the address of Captain Ed-ward's. Judge John,C. Green del i' ered a splendid address on the Liberty Loan and the war work. Before the meeting adjourned Mayor Kelly gavo the totals of the Liberty Ixinn sub- - Bcrlptlons from a number of the uniti of the camp which showed that pt- - t v, . r was being rl' iie nnd h -- eport was 'enthusiastically apilsiudei!. i coiimeipus dis-ease is UNDER mm. t There are now but flvo cases of the smallpox and diphtheria and scarlet fever in jBlngham, according to in-formation received from Health Offi-cer H.

Clyde Countryman, ' who is a cadet at the New Mexico Mil-itary Institute, 'Roswell, to the editor1 of the Press-Bulleti- "Few people, except those who have been In the service, realize just what military life is. In this life you have some one over you who Is responsible for what you do. Every hour of your day is planned out, and you are di-rected what to do and and how to do it. "Obedience Is the first thing they teach you. One must carry out an or-der the way In which It is meant. Everything has its place and If it is not there then the fun begins. De-merits are given without mercy for the first few weeks. If you turn your head, look at the ground, move your hand or say anything when you are balled out, have a pocket unbut-toned, your shoes not shiued, your hair not combed, your hat not on Etraight, your room not properly in order, your collar not. pinned, if you talk in ranks, smile in ranks, push or shove another, or any little thing like that means a fev; tours or from two to five demerits. "Our quarters are arranged In a certain manner, and our beds in a certain way, and when at Inspection If they are not that way it means some more demerits or tours. Ten de merits are a total which goes down on your official record. A tour means walking around a certain place for one hour" with a heavy army rifle held at port or right shoulder arms. "They do not allow any cigarette Hmoklng here, but anyone over 18 may smoke cigars or a pipe. The drills are very hard. The first thing when called to drill we line up two , deep in company formation. Then usually takes a bath at least, four times, and may be five times a wee' "There is. a great scarcity of glrlr here. As a result there are no n!c family dinners on Sunday, and a fel low cannot get many dances when attends a dance. Of course, the old maids come, but It is In Utah where live the most beautiful girls in the world. I have seen lots of the coun try. Most of it is beautiful, but for pretty women I will vote for Utah every time. And for the Individual town I can say that Bingham is ' the best." . Letter from Leroy Bowman, some-where in France, to his sister, Mrs. Julia Damenstine: "At last that which I have been wanting, been looking for since my arrival over here came the other night. That supreme te3t of work-ing under fire for the first time. At times it was hard and I was worried to know just how 1 wanted to stand up under it at first. If I so much as had a thought of faltering for a sec ond, it was but for a second, for I was determined to uphold the famil. name for bravery. i "Well we have had some wonde' fully exciting times of late. Night bnt Hps after night battle and each on adds more to the monotony of lif out here. First it's the big guns, ther the little pitter patter of the machine guns and then a dandy little scrar up In the air. Gee, how I wish it wer possible to tell you where I am a and how our boys are golntf throng that bimch of would be soldiers. They are licked, and they know It, too, b'' they seem not to have enough sense to give up until it is too late. "As I write now from a secluded the corporals report all men who are absent to the first sergeant, who then reports It to the captain, who In turn reports it to the officer of the day. Then the comandlng officer di-rects squads right, which means that the men turn In squads of four to the right and march ahead. "These drills are not hard In them-selves, but the trouble Is in doing them in the proper manner. We all know how, but we can't always do them right. ' We get up at six in the morning and go to bed at 9:30 at night. At 9:30 lights are out, and everyone who makes a noise after that time Is penalized and given a ; few tours. "The food here is good, well cooked, and there is plenty, for all. The per-son who likes beans would be very happy for we have them twice each day. Oatmeal, milk, combrend and meat make up the breakfast. Potatoes, beans, meat, bread, butter and des-serts for dinner. Tomatoes, meat, brerd, beans for supper. Every day the same with a very few changes. "One dollar and fifty cents a week 's the spending allowance. It sure is hard to spend that much In one whole week, but wo all manage to keep flat the second day uTter we get the one fifty, "We havi to be very careful about our personal appearance. If a fellow does not take a bath three times a week they take him to the sink and use a broom on him, After that he part of the woods, sitting on a no with another for my desk. 1 hear the sound of the big guns not far from us, and though tired nnd worn out from being out all night the thought of those boys still at it. makes me long to go back again tonight. But the big boy will not let me go until my turn comes again. So I must s't back and wait for that time to show up. "Wish I could spend Christmas with you all, and as things look now It Is not going to be very long before we are all back with each other ontt more. Write me just as often as yoc possibly can, for anv news front horn' helps lots Just now." Letter from John Plgounes (Karan-Ikolls- ) from the American front In France to Chris ILolzos: I have arjrd safely in France and am getting along well In the arm.

They have visited all sections of the camp and have found no symp-toms of the disease. Miss Ward in speaking of the disease said: "Spanish influenza is the name giv-en to a virulent type of la grippe or influenza, which commonly shows It-self in communities during the fall of the year, and is not a new disease. The epidemic first began In the spring of this year in Spain, hence its name, Spanish Influenza. It Is a germ dis-ease, highly contagious, from which there is little Immunity. The incuba-tion period I 48 hours, and the most contagious time is at the outbreak of the disease, hence the danger of con-tact in the theaters, schools and all public gatherings "It spread rapidly through the East, claiming many thousands of victims In Boston in lese than two weeks. In Salt Lake we already have sixty-thre- e cases reported, and the epidemic is almost inevitable. The danger lies not so much In itself as in the com-plications which follow. Therefore the need of Immediate and proper medical care." Health conditions in Jllngham are very good and extraordinary precau-tion Is now being taken in order to be able to combat the disease should it make its .appearance here.
