One of the greatest revolutions in t Jhe art of making high explosives has originated and passed the experiment tai stage with perfect results in Bridgeport.
 The invention designed to prevent the great number of deaths noted an- nua1ly in mixing illuminate and other high explosives is credited to the re- search work of Charles F. Lindsay of the Remington U. M. c. Co.,. which has proven and adopted the plans in their work here.
 Operatives in the illuminate mixing and primer-1oadtng departments here toforeN have worked with small quan- titles of material at great expense or manufacture and risk of life and limb, even when protected by heavy steel shields and working by reflected vision.

BERLIN WILLING
 TO ACCEPT U. s.
 AS A MEDIATOR
President Wilson's Speech At Charlotte Given
 Much Attention.
WILL NOT STAND FOR JOCKEYING BY ALLIES
Rumors of Mediation Cause
 Sudden Drop in Berlin War Stocks.

Berlin, May 25.-A wireless despatch from the United States giving the sub stance of President wilson's speech at Charlotte, N. G., in which he a11uded to the possibility of American media ton in the war is given the place of honor in the morning papers. The af- ternoon editions return to the subject and their comments, together with the wide interest shown by the German public shows how important this news is regarded here.
 Though definitely stated nowhere, there is little doubt that Germany is wiling to consider a tender of good offices to inaugurate peace negotia- tions. The former attitude in the high est quarters that America had dis qualified herself as a peace mediator on account of her shipments of munl- tions to the allies has now changed. If President Wilson can hold out any tangible possibilities that peace may result through his mediation Germany undoubtedly will be willing to con- sfder such suggestions as he may off, fer.
 This receptive attitude is naturally subject to the condition that Germany is not jockeyed into a, position of an nouncing her readiness to accept Pres 1dent Wilson's good offices only to find the allies later rejecting the tender and asserting that Germany is suing for peace.
 There is equally little doubt that the great masses of the people aside frOra the professional hotspurs in the news paper offices would willingly see Amer tca in the role of peace intermediary, despite the persisting bitterness over the munitions question.
 As a matter of faet little is heard nowadays, either from the general public or from the press, on the suo- Ject of American shipments of arms President Wilson's declaration cannot be said, however, to have made good impression on Germany as far as the so-ca1led 'tarmor plate, newspapers, the Tages Zeitung and the Taglisehe Rundschau are concerned. s>.s
 Other Chauvinist organs take occa- sion to assail President Wilson with bitter and uncomp1imentary phra ses and even a moderate paper like the Loka1 Anzefger declares that tha Pres Alent should first demonstrate the impartiaIity of his neutrality by mak- ing good his demand for respect for would then have an excellent chance, says this paper. of succeeding in his peace mission, at least as far as Ger many is concerned.
 The rumors of mediation have af- feeted the Berlin stock market. war babies which have been generally weak, dropped lower still on reports that America and other neutral coun- tries were contemplating a tender of their good offices as peace medfators At the same time peace stocks such as shiping and colonial securities, are in strong demand.
