of three months. Other engineers be-
sides those who are with Mr.. Hall

went out to the site of the new in

Plant 400 Feet Square.
plant 400 by 400 will be construct

particular. 1t will be constructed after
the approved patterns of factory con-
struction. A large storage shed, which
will be located alongside of spur
track will be constructed to hold the
materials for the smelter.
Mr.. Hall has estimated the time to
be consumed in building the plant at
about three months. He expects to
make trips to the east where the ma
chinery Is being built under his super
vision, quite frequently, and in this
way, he will have the machinery
ready at the time that the building is
ready, and work may be started.
Mr.. Hall returned the latter part
of last week from the west where he
made some additional ore contracts.

DEMONSTRATION ON
OUR CLAY PRODUCTS
Work Will be of Great Ad-
vantage to Clay Industry of
County and State.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.


Trenton, Aug. THE State Board
OF Conservation and DEVELOPMENT
through its geological branch, has in.
augurated series of clay studies and
tests looking toward the standardiza.
tlon of the clay products of the state
This work will be done in cooperation
with the School of Ceramics at New
Brunswick. The work will be of great
advantage to the clay industry of New
Jersey.
Alfred Gaskill, director of the board,
said today that the continuance and
extent of the work will be determined
in large measure by the support given
it by the clay producers, potters and
brick manufacturers.
The, geological department will also
take up the study of certain mineral
deposits, with view of determining
whether or not potash available for ag-
riculture can be found in paying guam
titles
The state board has provided for
establishing and increasing the nu~l-
Der of bench marks in Hunterdon,
Somerset, Mercer and Middlesex coun-
ties. These bench marks are placed in
some prominent permanent position,
such as the foundation of church or
other public building, or a bridge abut-
ment. They indicate the absolute ele-
walton of each point above mean high
water at Sandy Hook, and are referred
to by all engineers and surveyors
where attitudes are required.

NOTE I'd BRITISH
LIKE GERMANY'S
viii Prove ConcIusiveIy That
There is no Favoritism-Re-
cent Civil War is Issue.

Washington, Aug. 7.-Problems grow
ing out of the controversies with the
European belligerents are occupying
the attention of state department off
cials in the lull due to the adjourn
ment of the Mexican conferees.
The two matters of greatest impor.
tance are the replies to the German
note in the Frye case and the several
British notes defending the interfer-
enees with American trade with neu
trail countries.
The reply of the United States In the
Frye case has been drafted and proba-
bly, Will be submitted to the president
In day or two.
German Sauce For British.
1t is likely that full advantage will
be taken by the administration of the
opportunity afforded by the British
reference to Germany's conduct as JUS
tifying what England is doing. Ian
guage quite similar TO that used in the
notes to Germany informing her that
the United States could not admit into
its controversy with Germany any OF
Germany's complaints against Great
Britain probably will be found in the
note to Great Britain.
Aside from the legal aspect of the
situation. officials here are delighted at
the opportunity thus afforded them to
lay 1t on Great Britain In a way which
is likely to mollify those who feel that
the United States has been giving Ger
many alone the rough edge of its
tongue
Will Conceds Practically Nothing
AS the British note is being studied
other points to be raised in eontraven-
tion of the British argument are being
developed. 1t is now certain that the
American reply will concede practically
nothing of the British argument, and
that 1t will evade the deadly parallel"
of the American civil war cases.
The suggestion has been made that
the logical step for the United States
Is to concede the British contention
that blockade of Germany would be
ineffective unless trade through nell
trails is scrutinized and then to declare
that the proper conclusion from this
fact Is that blockade should be aban-
doned rather than that the rules of a
blockade should be changed to SUIT the
