PHILADELPHIA MAY
GET ARMOR PLANT
Many Cities Seek Location of Gov
ernment Factory--Annapois
in the List.
NORTHERN SITE is URGED.
Richard H. Edmunds, Of Baltimore,
Sends Strong Letter to Senator
Tillman Saying That the Plant
Should Not be Located in
Lake Section.

From general appearances, Annap-
oils will lose out in the race for the
armor-plate factory here.
Since the armor-plate factory bill
passed Congress there has been great
agitation for its location by different
cities. Philadelphia, Birmingham.
Norfolk, Cleveland and other cities are
seeking the plant.
The special committee composed of
Senator Tillman Admiral Strauss and
Representative Padgtet repoaed in ia
vor of Philadelphi-. because of the ad-
vantages OF the labor market and the
nearness TO the coal and iron mines.
Since the fight has become very spir-
tied, there has been moveme seek
ing to place the plant in the Lake SUI
perior region. Richard IL. Edmunds.
editor of the Manufacturers Record,
Baltimore, sent this letter on the sub
ject TO Senator Tillman:
The offer of the Bethlehem Steel
Company to sell armor plate at cost
does not i'm the slightest change the
situation that to permit all armor plate
and munition-making business to CON
tinue concentrated IN limited terri
tory depend wholly on Lake superior
ores or on foreign ores both of which
could be cut of without moments
warning in time OF war,would be Grim
inal folly on the part of our &C ern-
ment If the Bethlehem Company and
other armor-plate makers would offer
to supply armor without cost to the
government this nation would still be
recreant to its responsibilities il IL
permitted cxsting conditions in iron
and steel munitions and armor-makng
to last any longer.
II should be emphasized over and
over again that about 95 per cent. of
the steel products OF the United States
comes out of ores from the Lake Su
perior region, which passes through a
short canal, which could, at any mo-
ment. be blocked by the explosion OF
a few sticks of dynamite In such an
event the entire iron and steel industry
and all interests dependent upon them
throughout the country would instant
ly collapse: for the South and the
Southwest produce only about 5 per
cent. OF steel made in the country"
Replying. Senator Tillman said:
In reply to your wire just received.
f the power 20 locate the armor plant
authorized by the Senate and agreed TO
in the House Naval Appropriation Bill
F is placed IN the Secretary Of the Navy
subject 10 the approval OF the General
Board. The Naval Committee has no
+ power 10 change this responsibility.
F But I will call the attention OF the
f Secretary 90 the strong argument pre-
sented in your telegram. ! shall urge
on him the wisdom OF the facts you
4 present and no doubt he will give them
serious consideration"

Held On Serious Charge
In Durance Vile at Marine Barracks.

Five sailors. all of them attached to
the Reina Mercedes are held in the
prison at the Marine Barracks 8. charged
with stealing a quantity Of copper
and bronze from different places
around the Naval Academy These
men did not accompany their ship the
Reina Mercedes on her trip to Nor
folk, where she has been in drydock
for about two weeks, most of them
having quarters in the city.
AS the torpedo boat Bailey. which is
serving as station ship during the
absence of the Reina Mercedes did not
have accommodations for the prisoners
they were held at the Marine Barracks
until such time as they will be sent
away for court martial and if found
guilty, will probably be sent to the
prison at Boston.
As the copper and bronze is valued at
several hundred dollars the offense is q
serious one, and the penalty severe.

While Men Are Wanted to
Go to the Front.
Mr.. E. WAGGAMAN AN EXAMPLE.
One for "Slackers" to FoIIow---A
Strong Letter From Major John de
P. Douw Acting Quartermaster
General

The following letter to this paper
received in this mornings mail from
the Office of the Acting Quartermaster
Generals Department, speaks for it.
self 1t is hoped every young man
in thi tow, especially every street cor
ner, or front of drug store loafer will
read these lines and the IS men want
ed at Camp Harrington at Laurel may
be recruited at once. There were
enough recruits standing at the foot of
Conduit street last night to fill re-
quirements. The letter follows:
The Editor of The Evening Capital:
In these days when ex-Sec'y, Bryan's
million men are not responding to the
eountry's call overnight: when the
street-corner loafer and moving pic
ture fiend is Sinking his duty: when
the young men of the town who.did not
go to Laurel are making remarks that
the will go when they are needed, for
getting that if everyone said this we
wouldshave no one; when parents are
openly Dragging that they are glad
they did not let THEIR boy join Com
pany I'M" or the Machine Gunners
when men and women forget that they
are living under a republic founded
by patriotism and that they and their
children owe duty to it and not allow
it to fall on other peoples children, it
may be that the following letter may
be of interest to you.
Annapolis, Md. June 2lst, 1916.
Major Douw, @. M c. Nj. N. G.
(Personal)
My dear Major:
am joining Co "M," lst. Reg't.
M. N. G. tomorrow at Laurel, having
passed o. X. physically with the ex-
ception of my eyeswhich are below re.
quirements. am therefore afraid
that he U. S. sMedical Inspector will
throw me out at Laurel. Won't you
90 what you can to have me transferred
to some line Of duty in which the eye
requirements are not so severe.
Most sincerely.
(Signed), ENALLS WAGGAMAN.
Mr.. Waggsman has no idea that ]
am going to publish his letter and ]
do not think he will like it but feel
his spirit should be shown to other
'slackers" rs an example.
Mr.. Waggaman has every excuse
that anyone else can give for staying
home being married, with two chill
dren and leaving his position. 1t is
true that his family will be taken care
of financially but this is the case with
many others. He did not use the ex.
cuse that his eyes are defective but
makes he effort to go in any capacity.
He does not wait around to get 6
commission as an officer, as many in
his circumstances are doing. because
ne knows h. has not had the training
to be able to fill it, but enlists as pri.
vate. l cannot help expressing my
admiration of his course which is that
of public spirited American citizen
