ufacturing company. The company's
workmen have been engaged upon
these for months, and the task was so
unusual even for a company accus-
toned to handling great things that
special air-driven tools for the boring
and roaming of the steel had to be
made.
The boring machines consist OF
enormous steel cylinders twenty-four
feet in diameter and sixteen feet long,
Each cylinder without the machinery
weighs $50 tons, and the machinery
will weigh equally as much as the
shields. The cylinders are made up
Of three thicknesses of half-inch steel
plates riveted together. Within this
cylinder is placed the boring edge OF
cast steel. the diaphragms, air locks
and other apparatus necessary 10

HoFMANN ADvIsRD.-Here Is the lat
est story about Josef Hofmann, the
celebrated pianist, and 1t Is one which
few people have heard before, says
the Philadelphia Press. A few weeks
ago Hofmann and his manager stop
ped in a small town in New York
state, while en- route for New York.
AS 1t was not necessary for the pian-
list to reach New York that night he
and his manager stopped in a typical
country hotel. There was piano In
the big parlor and after supper Hof-
mann sat down and let his fingers
wander over the keys. No one knew
who he was and few appreciated the
tunes, except one man who was
sort Of village musician. He asked
Hofmann If he studied music with any
one and the little artist replied that
he had given 1t up some time ago.
"You should have kept 1t up" said
the man. totally unaware to whom he
was talking. You have a pretty good
touch and If you only keep at 1t you
ought to make a pretty good pianist.
I teach on the piano and have quite
a number Of pupils"
Hofmann listened to this advice
with keen enjoyment and while the
man was still talking launched forth
on one Of his difficult concertos.
The country musician stared In
amazement and finally asked: whats
your name?'
Josef Hofmann," was the reply.
And according to the latest reports
the country musician has not recover
er from the shock.

NEEDED ENcoURAGEMENr.-"I re-
member" said an old naval officer
hearing of an incident on board OF
a ship which was commanded by a
religious captain who would not al
low the mate to use profane language
or violence toward the crew and
where the work and discipline were
carried on more by moral suasion
than by force. with the result that
things went very slowly. The men
did not jump to the braces or ropes
and the general work of the ship was
slow.
while at anchor one day in the
harbor of Rio two Of the sailors
leaning over the rail, were watching
the work going on on board of an
other ship anchored close to them
where the opposite system prevailed
The air on that ship was lurid with
the language Of the mate, and the
men were treated with a violence
that was far from necessary but the
work went on quickly. The sails
were furled and the yards braced In
n smart and seamanlike manner. AS
they listened to the sulphurous or
ders of the mate one Of the sailors
on the good ship remarked sententi-
ously to the other:
"Bill, dye see now what 1t Is we
want aboard here? We want a little

BANK RUNs.-A good many years
ago in London an old woman fell In
front of a bank and broke h:r leg. A
crowd collected. and the report got
about that there was a run on the
bank. In a very brief space there really
was one. A disastrous run on the
Bank Of England In the time OF the
pretender in the eighteenth century
was prevented by an ingenious delay.
When Prince Charles was marching
on London depositors were in a fran
tic hurry to draw out all they had In
the Bank of England. Every call was
met, but in sixpences and shillings So
long did these coins take to count and
so prodieious were the loads OF bull

lie confidence was restored and. news
of the retreat of the highlanders COM

Chicago, May 13.-The strike OF the
teamsters is expected to spread rapidly
during the next week. AT a meeting
held tonight between the teamsters'
joint council. which is the governing
body of the local unions Of the teau-
sters. and representatives of the Team
Owners Association, the latter inform
ed the representatives of the Teamsters
that the condition of their business
p1ade it necessary for them to make de-
liveries to houses which had been boy
cotted by the unions. and that they
would do so next week needless of the
fact whether or not strike existed at
such places. The council was urged to
agree to this procedure, and avert
great strike. After an extended debate
among its members the TeamSterS'
council decided that it would not agree
to the delivery Of goods to any Of the
boycotted houses by union teamsters,
and that strikes would be called wheE-
ever man was discharged for refus-
ing to deliver goods.
The situa ton has now reached
point where practically ali Of the team
owners in the city are lined up against
the Teamsters' Unions. The number OF
men now out is about 4,50O, and ii is
expected that the strikes that are now
sure to come next week will more than
double this number. 1t means that
practically all of the truck drivers IN
the city will be on strike in few days.
In addition to refusing the requests sf
the Team Owners Association. the
teamsters' joint council tonight took
action that may cause a general strike
of all the carriage and hearse drivers
in the city. The Liverymen's Associa-
ton, an organization of employers, re-
Quested the council to order the drivers
to leave passengers at their destination,
instead of stopping at some distance
from a store. The council refused to
do this, and announced that if the liv
erymen did not recede from their posi-
ton a general strike Of all drivers, in
Guiding hearSe drivers, would be called
While the union leaders were pre-
pairing for the meeting tonight there
were several breaks in the ranks Of tho
union men. A number Of striking driv-
ers applied for their former places at
the department store of Rothschild s.
Company, and union drivers in several
cases delivered goods to boycotted
firms without trouble.
There were a few isolated attacks OH
non-union men throughout the day, but
no riots of much size

OUTBUKSTS AGAINST FRANCE
The Belief il That Japan Has Terri
toriaI Ambitions in IndO- China

Paris. May 13.-The popular out
busts at Toxic against France leads
to settled convictions here that Japan
has territorial ambitions in InGo-Chi
ma which the French must sooner or
later defend Although the japanese
officials disclaim anv such intentions
this belief has taken firm hold of the
French public and press. which unites
in calling on the government to adopt
energetic measures. strengthen the de-
fenseS of Indo-China, and prepare for
the contest which it is asserted Will
be inevitable when JapaE'S hands ara
freed from the Russian war.
The government authorities, While
not considering that the trouble is i'm
nlinent, share the public belief that 1t
is essential to make speedy preparation
for the defense of Indo-China and ac-
cordingly large special credits are be-
ing asked for, the ministries of marine
and war are considering large augmen-
tations of the forces in Indo-China and

Gan SUGGEST NO SOLUTION
Report Of Committee Appointed to In
vcstgate Work Among Negroes.
Report Vas Read at the Southern
baptist OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Force
~. in Leading the Negro Up Is tlic
Varied Contact With Christian
White Men and Women.

Kansas City, May 13.-"It is no af-
fair of this convention to solve the So
called negro problem. 1t is our duty
to find our duty and recognize and dis
charge it. God will take care of the
problem"
Dr. l. o. Dawson, of Alabama, chair
man of commission appointed at the
Nashville convention year ago to in
vestigate work among the negroes, de-
livered his report at the annual South
ern Baptist convention today. The
above declara ton in which Mr.. Daw-
son opened his report, caused some
thing of surprise, and his report as
he continued, was listened to with un-
usual interest. Continuing, the report
said:
NO liked policy can with wisdom be
adopted by a convention dealing with a
shifting problem. A plan pre-eminent-
ly wise today might be foolish tomor-
row. In all our policies there should
be an elasticity that would render re-
adjustment or entire change not only
pOSSlUIe, out easy.
''By far the greatest force in leading
the negro up from savagry has been
his varied contact with Christian
white men and women. IN this daily
personal contact with the negro, neces-
sary to our Southern life, lies our
greatest opportunity to help. and here
in is found our chief duty. 1t is large
ly an individual duty, vastly more i'm
rOrtant than any educational or mis-
sionary scheme this Or any other con-
yention can adopt. By pulpit and press.
by every force known to Christian en-
deavor, this convention should urge our
people to this individual every day
home duty. This, with fair and just
treatment in all the affairs of life, will
be we'll nigh the measure of our obliga-
ton. This will help to self. help and to
Self-respect. The negro is no longer a
slave and should be no longer a ward.
Upon this point your committee rests
it's chief emphasis and it's most earnest
recommendation.
1.-THE Southern Baptist convention
should stand, as it has always stood
for the application of every possible
uplifting agency to the negro situation,
and therefore should welcome every
contribution from whatever source for
the proper education of the negroes
Chief among these contributions is the
S130, 100000 paid by the Southern
States through taxation for this pur
pose"
