with the assistance of war cora

(as, for example, Kriegeohemi-
kalien A.G.) and of clearing houses for each of the raw mi- teriale. Similar steps have also been taken in Belgium for the effective utilisation of raw ma teriale.
Great efforts have been made to Sensure an increased ostpat of am- monis and nitric acid (required for expiroivas), copper has been refined on an immensely increased scale, and a new industry for Germany has been atorted in the refining of zine. The scarcity of certain metals has led to the ad- option of various an betitutes, and it is stated that tiuplate has been employed sacosfully in place of ond aluminium,' while steel
galvanised iron have taken the plaos of brass and copper alloys. Electrical conductors are now being made from iron,
