New Englands armament factories
are working night and day making
munitions of war and army supplies
for any belligerent nation that can
pay for them and is willing to take
the risk of interception on the high
seas The condition of affairs is very
we'll illustrated by the seizure Of
the Dutch steamer Rotterdam at
Genoa from New York When she
left the United States she was sup
posed to be carrying a cargo Of
grain to Italy. When she was
searched at Genoa it was found that
beneath the grain was hidden an
enormous quantity of copper besides
a number of boxes of munitions of
war destined for Germany.
If President Wilson thinks that the
manifests of vessels like the ROtter-
dam will be accepted at their face
value and the vessels permitted TO
pass through the T~itish blockading
suuadrons without examination he
is nightly mistaken. The manufac-
turers of the United States who know
the facts are under no such Illusion.
They are quite prepared to sell all
the war supplies they can make, but
they are not prepared to guarantee
delivery in Europe by pretending that
copper is grain and rubber is sausage
castings. The Providence Journal
published in the very center of the
New England armament producing
region. puts the case very plainly in
an article on New Years Day, from
which the following extract is TAX
en-:
There is a phase of the present
discussion between the United States
and Great Britain with regard to The
stopping Of neutral ships and alleged
neutral cargoes which may make the
situation dangerous unless 1t is
frankly and fully recognized. me
British reply to the American rote
will undoubtedly contain some start
ling figures in connection with ire
mendously increased shipments OF
various materials from the United
States to neutral ports since me
beginning of the war. the PLAIN IN
ference of course being that the en-
tire increase means thst consignees
in neutral ports are simply acting as
agents for Germany to which all OF
the increase is going.
"In this connection it is just as
well to face the facts at the begin
ming. If the British Government
chooses to make a careful investiga-
tion. as of course it will do, it will
discover inside of a week. what thou
sands of people in New England al
ready know. that many cf our manu-
facturers in this section of the couu-
try have for months been selling Il
German agents in the United States
machinery and material Of all kinds
which they know is destined fol
germany. although it is consigned &c
middlemen in neutral ports. The

SMASHING
SERBIAN
DEFENSES

ATHENS, Nov. 2.--The Ser
bian situation is regarded so
critical today that 1t is expected
the Serb army will retreat to
Montenegro and Albania to con-
centrate with a view or getting
munitions by way of the Adria-
tic.
The Bulgar forces are smash
ing against Nish, the Serbian cap
ital. The Teutons. who have cap
tured the mighty arsenal town OF
KragujevatZ, are expected to
join the attack unless the Serbian
defenses of the war capital are
battered down before the Ger
mans can come up.
Russian troops are reported to
have landed at Varus on the Bull
garian coast of the Black sea.
The strategy of the allies ap-
parently seeks to place check in
the path of the Teutons eastward
rather than strike an effecti re
blow while the Teutons are still
pressing on in Serbia.

DETROIT TN THROES
OF A REDLIGHT WAR

the city hall would take them to
East Lafayette boulevard, form
erly known as Champlain street,
where house after house harbors
from five to a dozen women
many OF them girls whose ages
one could hardly place else but
in the teens.
Declare Plan Failure.
Detroit officials say they found
that the adjustment of the regre-
gated district DID NOT abolish.
They say they found IN the
year the district was abolished
that venereal disease had shown
a startling increase.
And they found the police we're
unable to regulate vice conditions
while there was no segregation.
Whether the restored segre-
cation will segrega,e, whether
venereal disease will be checked,
remains to be seen.
No Liquor Sold.
There are probably so houses
in the district. There is one or
der that the proprietresses have
been made to understand: No
liquor must be sold. Also, music
must be barred.
The clergy intends to fight. It
has already begun. Its sentiment
was expressed by DR.. nj. S. Rice,
when he said:
IF abolition of the segregated
district has been a failure 1t is
not because abolition is futile; 1t
is an admission by the police that
they have failed to do their duty"
In the meantime segregation is
on trial for its life. VIII IL not

murder of one of its victimsy

Brake for Ship

Hereafter ship passengers and
mariners can turn in at night
with the sense of security and
knowledge that il danger is sight
ed ahead the ship can be stopped
or turned out of the way at a
moments notice.
A valuable contribution to the
cause of safety first at sea" has
been made recently by J. II. Hyde
of Tacoma through the invention
of an automatic and bilge ship
brake. Hyde is a lumberman
who has devoted money and
time to his invention.
The practicability of the
brake has been shown by actual
test, the first test being made on a
tugboat on Puget Sound. This
boat wac stopped within Is feet
while going at speed of eight
miles an hour. A test by the U. S.
navy department followed.
The brake consists of steel
plates fitted to the under body
of the ship flush with the sides,
operated from the pilot house.
These, when released, are opened
slowly by the pressure of the
water.
