This is why it is necessary to employ special steele.. The use of nickel, in proportion of 1 to 2 per cent., gives" to steel special qualities. This is one of the points where the economic blockade to which the Germans are subjected. is likely to cause them great trouble when it becomes necessary for them to renew their ' war material. For nickel comes exeln. etely from New Caledonia and Owada, that is to say, from a French Colony and a British one. When the Germang, therefors, have used up their stook, there will be no source from which to replenish it.
