one Of the incidents Of the blockade,
not a magazine story.
But the drama Of dramas is being
played here on the Clyde, where the
labor troubles are"
But all this work goes on, in long
shifts, without ceasing, by night or
day. There is neither dawn nor
sunset, weekday nor Sabbath, on the
Clyde now till victory comes. In all
the four thousand munition factories
controlled by the British govern
ment the same tale is told. The only
moment when work ceases is that
of which they are warned by the
notices hung in every department
telling them what to do in case of
a raid by hostile aircraft. Then the
lights 90 out, but there is no panic.
Whenever there has been a raid the
women workers have lined up and
gone to their appointed places, quiet
" and steadily as their brothers
dressed their line for the Birken-
head drill. Many of them have
dropped at their work, casualties
On a roll of honor as proud as that
of their brothers and sweethearts in
the trenches. Many of them are lis
figured by their handling of dan
gerous chemicals; and as they hold
up their yellow arms or turn their
blotched faces upon you the tears
are very near. But they triumph in
it-these little mothers Of the army
for JOY lest they, too, perhaps,
have saved a son for England.
More Merchantmen Appear.
On my return journey down the
Clyde | saw one very significant
thing, a quite unadvertised result
cf the Jutland battle. For two years
previously work upon merchant
ships had almost been abandoned.
All the energies of the shipwrights
were concentrated upon the navy.
Since the Jutland battle, however,
work had been resumed on merchant
ships. The hammers were rafting
on the sides of dozen great liners.
Cargo boats of all kinds were keep
ing hundreds of men busy, and, I'M
less my eyes grievously deceived me,
the transatlantic service would soon
be considerably improved.
wished very much that glimpse
Ct this peculiar result of the Colos-
sal German Victory and Downfall of
The British Empire, as certain head
lines had it, might have been vouch-
safed to the party Of German burgo-
masters who visited the Clyde six
weeks before the outbreak of the
war. They were entertained by our
great shipbuildors and everything
was shown to them. II was foolish,
perhaps, but English; and, after all,
preferable to espionage. After
luncheon at one Of the shipyards the
chairman ventured to tell the guests
one small home truth. "You have
seen to-day in England" he said,
more than you would be allowed TO
see of your own yards in Ger
many"
In that one sentence resides the
whole secret OF this war, and the ex-
PLANTATION Of the fact that the ham
mers of these yards mean business
at last Their rattle and roar will
continue till the last machine gun Of
Germany ceases fire. They are the
hammers, not only Of shipwrights, |
but Of the builders of better world. |

Here at last / heard the answer
Of the British Empire to Germany
in that unceasing sound as Of rapid
firing guns. Here were hammers
engaged in something too mighty TO
be anything less than conclusive. Is
England slow at the up-take? Yes,
but the reason was evident here. If
she is to exercise her might. 1t
means the diversion or unleashing
Of half the energies Of the human
race. Howbeit the word had been
spoken. and the terrible process was
obviously well on the way here. The
driving power behind all these
pounding hammers and revolving
wheels and swinging cranes was the
whole united power Of the British
Empire. from India to Africa and
from Canada to New Zealand. No
power on earth could stop 1t now.
There was an impersonal planetary
movement behind the process which
meant simply one thing-the defeat
Of Germany.

achievement of each minute.
Workers Forego Holiday.
And let nobody think that the
abandonment of their brief holiday
was a small sacrifice on the part Of
these sheltered" workers. Nobody
who has been through those grind
ing workshops will ever again think
that. In the munition works, a
short distance away. hundreds of
women were heaving great shells

HEADQUARTERS 9Th Division, l. 5. A,
McAllen. Tex. Sept. Orders came
to-day 10 the headquarters Of the New
York troops for the return home OF
the thirty-four privates and non-com-
missioued officers Of the regular army
who have been detailed as instructors
TO the units of this division. This was
looked upon as a straw in homeward
wind, although when The instructors
were sent here on August 6 it was for
four weeks service. That period being
up tomorrow, the men Will rejoin
their own commands.
OF these men two each were with the
ID. Sd. eth. 18th. 14th. Goth and 74th,
three with the 23d Infantry, six with
the artillery, four with the engineers
and seven with the cavalry.
Another development that increased
the belief that the New York contin-
gent is nearing the end of its stay was
the receipt of the official order, already
known, suspending the operation of the
ruling under which soldiers having de-
pendents may be released from the SER
vice.
Thirty-eight Beat the Order.
Thirty-eignt men started for Fort
sam Houston this afternoon for dis
charge undor this ruling. and because
no reason was given for the suspension
10 was seized upon as a new indication
that all the New York troops will soon
be on the way north.
No new word came to-day regarding
the time when the Sd, 14th and list
would be able TO start. The most posi-
:ive statement that could be made by
the officials of the coast lines was that
ears might be available by Wednesday
or Thursday of next week.
Announcement was made to-day that
Brigadier General George r. Dyer
would leave with these troops TO take
command Of Camp Whitman, which
would put Colonel Willard C. Fisk. of
IT, 7th. in command Of the brigade
here.
