VON TIRPITZ HAS

Entertain* Small Consideration For
Men Who Are Fighting For
Fatherland.
NEW YORK—Grand Admiral von
Tirpitz, leader of the Fatherland
Party and one of the most rabid
Pan-Germanists, had a narrow es
cape from being handled roughly by
an angry crowd at the railroad
station at Freinwalde, Brandenburg,
recently, according to a letter pub
1 lished in Vorwaerts of Berlin, a copy
of which has been received here. A
passenger train was crowded and
excited passengers . were struggling
to get on when one discovered a
compartment in which sat one man
by himself.
A rush was made for the com
partment, but the door was net
opened. Force was about ‘o be
used when the conductor opened the
compartment. The lone passenger
looked at the intruders, removed his
hat to show his bald head and
i stroked his beard. It was Admiral
i von Tirpitz. He maintained a studied
silence even whet «oxne stepped up
to him and cried out.
j “Yes, that’s the way the Father
; land people are. They reserve for
, themselves the comfortable com
partments and don’t care if the
people next door are crushed to
death.”
“No reply w>s vouched and no
passenger dared to take t scat ’n
the admiral’s compartment.
“Doing all humanly possible”— ,
but war calls for rupee human e< it.
Each individual is a military unit ,
in an unbroken chain, and a single ,
weak link may cause disaster.

ENGLAND READY
TO MEET NEEDS
OE GIANT ARMY
MANCHESTER, England.—Two
days after the British began their
big drive on the Somme, a rush
i order for 5,000 shells was given
one of the projectile factories in
! this district. So promptly was the
order executed that the shells reach
| ed the British gunners in time to be
' used for smashing the enemy’s first
; counter attack.
I This showrs how closely the muni
tion plants are related to the front
Ianc* gives an idea of the remark
i able degree of co-operation that
exists between the shell-maker at
home and the soldier in the field.
The story of this district’s achiev
ments in the manufacture of muni
tions, illustrated by the actual oper
ations, was unfolded recently to a
party of Allied newspaper men, in
cluding a representative of The
Associated Press, which inspected
the factories under the guidance
of officials of the ministry of muni
tions.
The party saw a great industrial
district, comprising the counties of
Westmorland, Cumberland. Lanca
shire, the whole of North Wales, and
the Isle of Man, which had been
converted into a vast co-ordinated
plant for the turning out of war
material. Everywhere was evidence
of how the factories, abruptly ter
minating their peacetime work, had
cleared the deck for wartime action.
It w'as in June, 1915 that David
Lloyd George, then Minister of Mun
itions, visited Manchester and told
the manufacturers and businessmen
that the country needed a huge sup
ply of munitions and needed them
at once. At that moment the great
demand was for shells. They must
be had, not six month hence, but
immediately.
The Manchester District Engin
eering Trades Employers’ Associa
tion called a meeting at once, at
which non-federated firms also were
represented. The chief question
considered was whether it was wiser
to establish special national plants
for the manufacture of shells, or
to utilize the resources for the work
available. It was decided to follow
the second plan as it assured quick
er results.
Textile manufacture is the prin
ciple industry of the Manchester
district, and at first it appeared 1
that the machinery used in the tex
tile factories was entirely unsuited
to munitions production. But by
perseverance and ingenuity the tex- j
tile machinists have contrived to ■
adapt their machinery so well to the
’V°rk that they are now the largest
shell producers in the region.
At the beginning virtually only;
shells were turned out, but gradu-i
ally the field of manufacture was j
extended until now it covers, be
sides shells, air planes, motor trans- j
port vehicles, guns, trench mortars
and projectiles, hand grenades and
bombs, mines, submarine engines, ^
steam engines and turbines, scientT-'
fic instruments and guages, and a I
variety of other muntions, ma- j
chinery and appliances used for war-!
As an example of the concen- i
trated energy now being employed j
in the Manchester district, it is!
pointed out that within a ten-mile I
radius of the Manchester City Hall
the 2,500,000 population employs
1,000,000 horse power. Eighty per
cent of this energy is devoted to the I
manufacture of war munitions. |
'ORDER FOR DRAF!
ALARMS MEXICANS
Many Greasers Take Flight Across
Borde- When Youths Are
Called to Colors.
EL* PASO, Tex.—Mexican labor
ers crossing from Mexico at this
port are being notified that they
are not required to register if they
come to the United States to work
on farms, in mines or other useful
occupations. The registration law
has kept hundreds of Mexicans from
coming to the United States to seek
work as they believed the act of
registering drafted them into the
army.
When the selective draft call was
made for young men who had ac
quired majority since the registra
tion of 1917, many Mexicans fled
to Mexico. No explanation was
made on the posters in Spanish or
dering all young men to register,
stating that aliens would not be
required to serve in the army. An
effort is now being made to have
the aliens' passports accepted as
evidence that they are not re
quired to register. Once this is ex
plained to the Mexicans, immigra
tion will be stimulated, as the head
tax and literacy tests have already
been removed to encourage immigra
tion of this class of labor.
BEANS ARE POPULAR
AMONG HOLLANDERS
THE HAGUE—The Boston baked
bean, formerly despise ’ except by J
the humble classes of Holland has |
been restored to public favor by the ;
recent embargo on shipments of i
wheat from America. 40,000 acres
of land have been converted into
areas for growing beans and peas. I
Queen Wilhelmina is setting an 1
example for her subjects in culti- ■
vating cereals by growing rye on |
the lawns of her country estate of I
Het Loo.
Trade in food substitutes thrives
amazingly. The police of Alkamaar
recently seized 400 bales of roasted
flower bulbs and 400 pounds of
milled acorns which were intended
for use in making coffee.
Much of the shortage of milk
butter, eggs, meat and fresh vege
tables is due to the fact that Hol
land has to barter many of these
good things for German coal and
iron.
