WORK STARTED0N
BIG PAPER PLANT
improvements on K Street, Near
Thirteenth, Call for Expendi-
ture of 100000.

Work has Just been commenced on
a $500. 900 addition to the plant OF the
District of Columbia Paper Manufac
turing Company. X street. west Of
Thirtieth street. The addition will
be seven stories and conform in gen>
eral design with the company's pres>
ent plant.
The plan of the company Is to dou-
BILE it's employment roll. and to in
crease it's output by several times
present production.
The building plan is to erect the ad-
dition in five sections in one contin-
uous scheme. each section to be oc-
cupied as soon as completed. The en-
tire construction of all sections will
take two years, 1t Is expected.
The business requires the construction
in extra strong REINFORCED concrete.
The architectural outlines of the build
inS will be Of the conventional type OF
a modern manufacturing plant with
highly developed modern features in
f1reproof construction and admission Of
light and air into the workshops.
Of the building will be set apart FOR
recreation of employees. A roof garden
will be laid off and part Of the upper
floor will be made into gymnasium.
for employees, a doctor being employed
for an hour a day to visit and give
free treatment to his patients
The entire building will be Of concrete
and metal construction. The window
frames. instead of wood. will be Of
metal thus minimizing danger of fire
spreading.
The fireproof construction will be
further carried out in a system of doors
leading to each section which automati-
cally close II fire breaks out. confiing
the fire to but one section. A system
OF automatic sprinklers will be installed
In the building US fire fighting appara-
fuses. In short. the company. in FASH
ion. has its own fire department.
When done, the addition will cover
a building area to the east OF the
present plant zoo by $50 feet.
Several old buildings. formerly used
as warehouses. have been RACED in
preparation for Building the proposed
building. The property was acquired
from the Hill estate.
The first section is expected to be
completed by March 1. 1916.

THINK NEW NOTE
IS ABOUT ORDUNA

Although the State Department Is
without official advices concerning the
German note which was handed to
Ambassador Gerard a short time after
the recent reply In the Arabic case. II
was reported unofficially today that the
new note related to the attack on the
Orduna.
The Orduna was tacked by Ger
man submarine July off Fastnet while
en- route from Liverpool to New York.
According to the versions which were
given out at the time the submarine
then shelled her. The Ordnna escaped
and reached New York in safety.
1t Is said that in the note now on
its way to Washington Germany sub
mits a statement backing up the ac-
tion Of the submarine commander.
The State Department is anxiously
awaiting the arrival of the second
note, but officials said today they had
received no intimation other thar
through press dispatches as to wha'
was in 1t.

the pound service is not sufficient to
