Monday night was a night of merry

CITY TO LOSE BUTTON
FACTORY THIS WEEK
Will Move to St. Joseph, Mich,
and Will Take All Its En-
pIoyeS AIOng-Deny the Fac
tory Is InSanitary.

The button factory which has been
established in Mishawaka for the past
three years, and which employs about
so hands, will move TO St. Joseph,
Mich, Saturday next, or just as soon
as the shells in stock can be used up.
This decision was arrived at by
Messrs. Wood and Benoit, prOprietOrs
of the industry, after the action OF
the board Of health in notifying them
that they must either clean up or get
out, on the grounds that their estab-
lishment is inSanitary. 1t is claimed
by Health OFFICER Strubbe that the
place is infested with rodents and
that ii is a breeding place for mos
quitoes. Notice was sent to the pro-
prietors that failing to put the place
in a sanitary condition they would
have to remove their plant by June l..
The latter claim that their premises
are in an absolutely sanitary cOndi-
ton. and are piqued at the action of
the city.
The industry, although comparative
~ a small one, is one of the SOundeSt
in Mishawaka. 1t runs the year round
and pays out annually in wages over
$4,000. The entire staff Will move to
St. Joseph with their families
The health officer is firm in his
stand. He states an agitation was
started last summer by the business
men TO have the factory retained, but,
Notwithstanding, the first orders from
his department were issued July 10,
1915, the owners of the plant being
given until Aug. ) the same year to
move Mr.. Strubbe also states that
he traced an outbreak of typhoid
fever directly TO the factory, num-
Der of its employees being among the
victims. DR.. Dresch and DR.. Nitou,
the county health officer, were asked
to make an inspection of the premises
and in their report stated that the
place was insanitary and that il should
not be given as much time to clean up
as was granted by the local health
officer.
William Roy, foreman OF the fac
tory, stated to The News-Times that
he can furnish proof 10 the effect that
the typhoid cases were not traceable
to the button factory. These state
ments he says were obtained from the
victims themselves, who claim that
they contracted the disease from
drinking the city "vdrant water. Mr..
Roy also states that the people living
in the Immediate neighborhood of the
factory have not complained about
the matters which have led the city to
request their removal. He also says
that the factory is absolutely sanitary

given a freer hand in directing the
naval operations of the British fleets.
1t has been understood for some time
that Baron Fisher advocated a more
aggressive policy than Mr.. Churchill
cared to put into effect The former
has desired TO strike hard blows at
Germany. but the latter feared the

If Mr.. Lloyd-George is shifted the
office of chancellor would probably
be filled by a. Bonar Law. a union
ist, and the opposition leader in the
house of commons. Another new fig
ure in the ministry may be Baron
Reading (Sir Rufus Isaacs) who is
now lord chief justice
All the criticism that has been
heard so far has been directed at Eng
lands naval policy and no fault has
been found with the conduct of the
war office by Lord Kitchener Critics
Of Mr.. Churchill charge that he erred
early in the war by not sending
enough reinforcernents to Antwerp;
that he has not given enough prOtec-
ton TO mercantile shipping; that the
course of action at the Dardanelles
was wrong and that the general policy
toward Germany has not been aggres-
sive enough.
The political expert of the Daily
Sketch was one of the few who took
an optimistic view of the situation. In
a review today he declared that ''he
had learned from a source close to
official headquarters that all cabinet
differences had been satisfactorily
adjusted and that no public statement
would be necessary
