ONE OF HIS CLOSE CALLS

Paris. June 9.--Wtlltam Thaw. the

days leave of absence to visit his

PLAN TO BREAK

ington Arms Company. the DUPONT
Powder Company. and other concerns.
The Union Metallic Cartridge Com
pany. for instance. has a contract 10
supply 100000 rounds of ammuni-
ton weekly. and the understanding
Is that this is to be increased to 7.000,-
600. The Bethlehem Steel Company
has received an order for 5000 field
guns and also is turning out $4,000
shrapneI shells every day. while for
the one-pounders and smaller shells
the rate IL $4,000 day. The General
Electric Company has an order for
500, 100000 worth of war materials.
In other words, the British Govern
ment especially. under the direction
OF David Lloyd-George. the new min
lister of munitions, the French and the
Russian Governments have evolved an
immense system of getting munitions
OF war from the United States. And
1t is this plan which the agents OF
Germany wish to disrupt.
The German general war staff ap-
preciates the Importance of prevent
ing. IL possible. such supplies from
reaching the enemy. The English al
ready have admitted that the Ger
mans were enabled to reca pture
slams simply because the Russians had
no Ammunition. They alo have ad-
mitted that they could attempt no
general offensive In the western the
alter OF war because of insufficient war
supplies.
Money Is Not Lacking.
With all these things so important
ly outlined to the German agents. it
is said that money Is not lacking for
the spreading Of the propaganda by
which the Germans hope to cause
general widespread labor discomfort
and bring about strikes The scheme
has been evolved by master mind.
but the headworkers in the conspiracy
are not expected to come in touch
with the working men. BY working
through various channels they are
said to have succeeded already in in
nuencing local labor leaders in the
different cities and towns unwilling
ly to formulate demands on the en-
pioyes.
In Bridgeport, Conn. for instance.
1t was learned that the Bridgeport
Arms Works. subsidiary OF the
Remington Arms-Union Metallic
Cartridge Company, has had strike
Work on twelve new buildings of TIL I,
works was held UP for almost week.
The rumor was prevalent In Bridge
port that the strike was due to Ger
man sympathixers who sought to de-
lay completion of the plant. Tho
strike was practically ended by the
importing OF other workmen from a
distance. President George
Thornton, OF the National Union III
Bricklayers. refused to sanction the
strike. saving that 1t had rather
strange features.

course and pledEing him support -.- ,
The President himself is determined
now TO carry out his policy to the end.
There was 81 tremendous struggle In his
mind before he committed himself TO
policy Of vigorous action. but having
once decided that he owed II to the
American people and the world he Is
prepared to maintain his course, Po-
litical eEpediency and his own fortunes
as the leader of the Democratic party
have NOT weighed with him for min
ute, There is no doubt that Woodrow
Wilson, as a result of his COURAGEOUS
stand, is held in higher esteem by the
representatives OF all parties In Wash
ington than ever before Words OF the
highest commentator were heard on
all sides today, Among Republicans
particularly there was no disposition TO
gloat over the favorable turn OF the
political wheel. but rather A desire to
do everything possible 10 uphold the
hands of the President and give him
