May Give Entire Output to War Needs. The reason for the tremendous demand for supplies and munitions from the United States by Gen. Pershinr and the allies was made plain yesterday. France has called for more steel, especially since the resumption of1 the German offensive. Rich coal and ore lands have fallen into the hands of the enemy, and their loss has slackened the manufacture of munitions.

Unless this country cornea across, the situation may prove serious, not only for the French, but for our own army. These were developed at the War Industries Board. To meet the situation, which was presented to President Wilson and his war cabinet, Wednesday, the war activities of the nation will not only need the Immediate supply of all Iron and steel products, but probably the entire aupply for the period of the war. This was the statement yesterday by Edwin B. Parker, priorities commissioner of the War Industries Board, in a letter to an sssoclation of of hardware machinery and oil well supplies.

Cheeking Steel a In addition the Industries Board has ordered all governmental war as the shipplnf board, the ordnance department and the aircraft production check over their future steel needs. It is believed these agencies have overjudged their that the steel thus saved may be equitably distributed to other war activities and the m4re essential industries. The War Industries Board intend to retard any of these actlv ltles, bat It hopes. through equitable distribution to keep all war actlvltlen at "top The plan of an allM pool, incMlng the United 4t both and moved a nearer accomplishment today when It learned In an authoritative British quarter that England, France and Italy have already agreed to pool their Conferences will shorty be held tn London and Paris to work oat the details.
