Where France Gets It's
 Outpour 0f Munitions

Washington, D. c. July 2S.-Le CreusOt, the center of Frances war munitions works, where the output of an iron torrent with which to deluge the central empires of Europe Is said by French cabinet officer to be sur passing all expectations, is the sub- ject of today's war geography bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic society, which says:
 Like the famous Krupp works of Germany, Le CreusOt's vast ordnance factories owe their origin to the or ganizing and inventive genius of one family-the Schneiders. At tho out break of the war the Schneider Iron Works employed more than 15,O00 workmen and their great shops, cov- ering hundreds of acres of ground, were connected by a network of near ly forty miles of railroad tracks Since the war this plant has been enormously increased.
 'Le Creusot owes It's importance in the manufacturing and foundry in dustry to the fact that 1t is in the cen ter of one of the richest coal and iron mining districts of France The coal beds of this region were discov- cred in the 9th century but it was not until five hundred years later, in 1774, that the first iron works were estab- lished. Sixty years later the Schneid- CTS, Adolphe and Eugene, established their first workshops here, and the lit tie hamlet formerly known as Char bonntere, began to grow In 1941 it was a town of 4,O00 people: just be- fore the war there were 35,OOO tnhab- itants, nearly half of whom were en- ployed in the armOrplate factories, the gun shops, the locomotive works, and the ordnance plants. It was one of the Schneiders, incidentally, who revolutionized warship armament in 1876 Up to that time the most pro- gressive nations used wrought iron for protective armor on their ships. Schneider proved the superiority of steel in resisting the penetration DOW CT of projectiles.
 "Le Creusot is admirably situated with respect to the French frontier, for while it is not so far from the fir ing line as to occasion undue delay in the transportation of munitions, it is sufficiently removed to be well beyond the danger zone. It is 1855 miles, in an airline, southwest of Belfort a for tress of the first class on the Alsace front and is 175 miles south of Yer dun. If an invading army should suc- oeed In passing either of these bull warks there would still be Dijon, with it's eight detached forts, guarding the approach fifty miles to the northeast. Paris lies to the northwest 236 miles distant by rail.
 "Supplementtng its railway connec- tons, Le Creusot enjoys the transpor- tation facilities of the Canal du Gen. tre, five miles to the east, This wa terway joins the Saone and the Loire,

Dog-Worked Railways.
(Railway Age-Gazette).

When the transport of supplies through the snow in the Vosges last year was of urgent importance the French authorities conceived the idea of using dog-drawn sleighs, and sev- eral hundred trained animals from Alaska, Northwestern Canada and Labrador were obtained. With the end of the snow the dogs continue to be found useful They are now being harnessed to small twO-fo ot gauge light railways which run every- where behind the front, and they are very capable. Eleven dogs with a couple of mon can haul a load of a ton up some of the most precipitous slopes In the mountains and two teams of seven dogs each can do the work of five horses in this difficult country with a very great economy Of men, Of the three breeds In serv- ice the best is the Alaskan. His courage never fails, and he will work until he drops though he Is perhaps the weakest of them all. Their chest develepment so necessary for hauling is remarkable. They are mainly fed en rice, horse flesh and waste military biscuits,

CLEANER AND BETTER.

It is to New Britain's credit that it's bple have not become unduly ex-
 ed over the epedenic of disease It is in vogue in neighboring com |nities and which has appeared here mild form. At the same tirne they Ee not waxed negligent. The safe f sane way has been followed. This l1ue in no small degree to the con- |erate actions of the Health Depart Int. Those who make up this inn Ftant branch of the city government Ee labored long and patiently in the st and their work is now showing |ults. In the crisis, the strength of carnpaign for better living con- Ions asserts itself. The warning k gone forth that all those who do conform strictly to the rules and EuIations set forth by the Health partment will be punished under
 law. This morning four such
 es were brought before the police Lrt. By a cooperation of the police l health departments New Britain v be made a model city. It is on a r way now to such a goal and with title exertion on the part of every nest citizen New Britain will be- ne a cleaner and better city in

FOR OUR TROOPS.

Once there was a firm belief in the those who wait Present day hustle and hustle have taken some of the patience out of the mob; but in the end the inevitable truth will out. This is demonstrated to a ntcety in what has happened in the lives of those sol diers on the border They were on various states were holding out on the money question. There were no wages forthcoming. Next, some newspapers with an eye for business in the political market stirred the men up over the suffrage question. Believing they were going to be kept away from home over election day in Novembe they set up a howl for voting privi- lcges on the border. Some saw a trick to aid the Wilson administration. Presumably the National Guard is made up entirely of Republicans and having them on the border would swing the election results to the Dem ocratic column.
 Everything is all right now The Congress may make it possible for the soldiers to vote while away from home, the states in most cases have opened the strings of their purses and the soldiers are to be paid. Connec- tlcut volunteers are fortunate in being the first to receive their pay Which all goes to show that there is still some truth in the old way of looking at things, everything comes to those who wait. Provided, of course, they wait long enough. Without attempt ing to exhaust the patience of the men who have gallantly gone to the border to swelter in the heat it is here sug- gested that if they display enough de- termination they may get all of the thousand things they have been long, ing for since going away from home Some of the things called for would be looked upon as luxurious even by nf1h onaires but there are others within reach, as, for instance, valets electric fans, tennis courts, golf courses, Turkish baths, and Pullman cars on the way home. There is no telling what may happen. So why grum ble?

The Power of the Press.
(HartfOrd Times.)

We take the g1 eatest pleasure in according to the Hartford COurant the full credit for forcing through the United States senate, single hand ed, the amendment to the army ap- propriation bill permitting the men of the National Guard to vote In the field at the coming presidential election We welcome this opportunity, because we know that the Courant, with charac- teristic mOdesty, never would claim the credit, which is its due, for itself.
 It is no mean feat for a republican newspaper in far-away New England to browbeat into subjection a United States senate in Washington, D. C., the majority of which is notoriously, braz- enly and disgustingly democratic. The action of the Courant in thus stemming the tide of political chican- cry that would have swept the ballot out of the hand of the militiaman eager to cast it against a democratic president, will go down in history with the famous feats of journalism in the past; with the New York Herald's 8 scoop on pr, Cooks return, with the

Whats the Difference.

(J. M Lewis, in the Houston Post.) I don't know when I've ever seen a
 little boy that was so very Contrary; yes, that's what you are,
 you're nothing else but just con-
 trary!
 When no one's here you do the things
 I tell you to, as sweet as honey; But when I want you to cut-up, and
 when I want you to be funny, Sos folks can see how wonderful you
 are, and how well worth the
 showin'
 I can't with all my coaxin' you some-
 how seem to get you to goin': When ask you "Where is the
 moon?" you point your finger at
 the roses:
 And when I tell you to kiss folks you
 reach out and grab their noses. And that's the way with everything,
 you're nothing else but just con-
 trary!
 But am I angry when you do the things you do? Well, not so very! You are my boy, am your dad, and
 I am here to stick to you! You don't know why I tell you to do all the things I tell you, do you? s'pose a boy that can't do much
 but gurgle-goo in place of talking, Who is so small that he cant trust his wobbly little feet for walking, Has trouble understanding what the daddy means who leans above you;
 nd you're the best boy ever born, and I cant tell you how love you!

AN ELECTRIC LIGHTING PLANT.
 That Might Be Duplicated in Rural
{ Worcester Telcgram.)

An electric lighting plant which runs alone is the boast of Boone, N. c. Thirty minutes of human atten- tion daily is all the machinery re- quires, and it provides light for the town, a normal school and a training school It never stops, but is so rigged that in case it ever does get too tired to operate alone it will ring a loud gong until relief arrives. The operator lives near enough to hear the gong and Is employed in a mill 100 feet from the electric plant. It is not an expensive plant, but pro- vldes the regular voltage up to the limit of capacity and the waterpower which runs it never gives out. Such a plant might be located in the deep woods of Maine or on farms about New England to make the light for inhabitants within a few miles. It is one of the electric novel, ties designed for making light with out high cost for labor.

Autographs by the Pound.

"A few days before one first of April says Albert B. Paine, in St. Nicholas, George w. Cable had a private and confidential circular let ter printed, and mailed it to 15O of Mark Twain's friends and admirers in Boston, New Y ork and elsewhere, ask ing that they send the humOrist a let ter, to arrive April 1, requesting his autograph. It would seem that each one receiving this letter must have responded to 1t, for on the morning of April 1 an immense pile of letters was unloaded on Mark Twain's table, He did not know what to make of It. and Mrs. CIem ems, who was party to the joke, slyly watched results. They we1o the most absurd requests for autographs ever written. He was fooled and IT, ystified at first; then, realizing the nature and magnitude of the joke, he entered into 1t fully delighted, of course, for it was really e fine compliment Some of the let ters asked for autographs by the yard, some by the pound. Some command ed him to sit down and copy a few chapters from the Tnnocents Abroad.' Others asked that his autograph be attached to a check. John Hay re- quested that he copy a hymn, a few hundred lines of Youngs 'Night Thoughts,' etc.. and added:
 I want my boy to form a taste for serious and elevated poetry, and it will add considerable commercial value to have it in your handwrit- ing.'
 Altogether, the reading of the let ters gave Mark Twain a delightful day"
