London, Feb. 26-An entire COM
ence Of The Associated Press. Chang
Sze-shen, manager of the Shanghai
branch of the Bank of Communica-
tions, was mysteriously assassinated
on Jan. S. The bank with which he
was connected. is largely under the
direction of LANG Shih-yi, President
Yuan Shi-kai's right hand man, and it
has been suggested that the crime was
committed by revolutionists as a pro-
test against the monarchical move
ment. This theory has not been sup
ported, however, so far. The murdered
manager was not actively engaged in
politics, and had never held any office.
II has been charged by some of the
revolutionists, however, that he con-
stantly supplied information to LANG
Shih-yi concerning the movements Of
the enemies of the Yuan Shi-kai gov
eminent, and was the financial agent
who directed efforts against the pro-
testing progressives in Shanghai
Chang Sze-shen's family denies these
allegations emphatically, and are at
a loss TO find A motive for the crime.

DODGE BROTHERS IS
AMONG FIRST FOUR

New buildings under construction at
the plant of Dodge Brothers, Detroit,
will bring the total amount of floor
space 10 approximately 6012 acres.
This will make the establishment one
of the largest motor car plants in the
world.
The buildings are Of steel, concrete
and brick, and constructed along latest
engineering plans with ample light and
ventilation.
Few people have realized the i'm
mensity Of the institution OF Dodge
Brothers. Although the first Dodge
Brothers car was turned out only last
December. and actual deliveries to
owners started in January, the con-
Germ now ranks among the first four
in automobile production.
More than forty million dollars
worth of cars have already been de-
livered and large production is sched-
uled for next year.
Some idea OF the magnitude OF the
business can be gained from the fol-
lowing figures:
An average OF 100 carloads of ma
ferial and supplies are received daily.
More than 400 tons OF coal are required
in generating the steam used In the
plant and IS 900 gallons Of fuel oil are
used in the heat treating and drop
forge departments. About $4,000
hounds OF steel are fabricated into

many is so devout worshiper OF of
ficialdom in uniform that a recent
order Of the authorities has aroused
a storm of criticism. 1t limits to a
far-reaching extent the wearing OF uni
form during the war, particularly
among railway officials and employees
who are required to substitute for
their uniform simple wooden or cot
ton blouses OF dark material and a
simple badge of Office. Says the
Neueste Nachrichter:
Far be it from us to criticize the
governments action in this matter,
but we cannot help expressing our
fear lest, with the well known respect
of our people for the official uniform,
and for all that it stands for disagree
able incidents may result from the
contact of the public with men clad in
blouses or other garments which do
not bring home to them sufficiently

die 80 tons Of pig iron. 10000 pounds
Of brass and 900 pounds of aluminium
A striking feature of this immense
enterprise is that the business is
owned entirely by John F. and Horace
E. Dodge. This is very impressive
when it is known that only IA years
ago Dodge Brothers opened their first
machine shop in Detroit in which they
employed II men and both worked at
machine and bench themselves.
They early established a reputation
for quality work, in the making of
automobile parts and built up a WON
derfui business IN this line. But in
1914 they brought all their contracts
for parts to a termination and turned
their great facilities to the making of
Dodge Brothers motor cars

CRITICIZE ACTION
OF HUN PARLIAMENT

Budapest, via acknowledgements
ence of the Associated Press. 1.-The
action of the Hungarian parliament in
consenting to a bill permitting Ger
man capital to exploit the new oil
fields in Pennsylvania has aroused a
food of criticism. The oil fields, I'M
exploited as yet, were discovered only
three years ago, but there has been a
widespread public belief that they
would prove to be natural treasure
worth untold millions to Hungary.
Concessions for their exploitation
have now been turned over to the
Deutsche Bank Of Berlin, in return
for the latter's promise to invest So,
'luamdolsA9p 10 YIoM 9ql u! 100000
This is characterized by the oppos;-
ton as selling our birthright for a
mess of pottage."
The center of each OF the two Tran
sylyania fields consists of a group of
oil springs gushing up from the earth
in quantity sufficient to supply the
whole of central Europe with gas and
oil not only for lighting but also for
industrial purposes"
Just how far the concessions to the
Deutsche bank go Is not yet clear, but
there appears to be no doubt that they
will give German capitalists a clear
advantage and control in a field where
Hungarians had long hoped TO build
up purely national enterprise When
the bill granting the concession was
brought up by Count Tisza, the indie
pendence party raised its usual objec-
ton, urging that 'the oil fields should
be exploited and organized by the state
in order that they should serve as a
national source of wealth, and thus
replace the dear coal, mostly import
ed from Germany" One of the speak
ers declared this oil will now fall 10

BOYS FUTURE TO BE
PROBLEM AFTER WAR

Woolwich, acknowledgements
ence of the Associated Press Ten
thousand boys too young to fight are
doing what they consider the next best
service for their country-turning out
munitions in the government arsenal
here. In ordinary times many would
have become office boys, clerks, or tel
egraph messengers, but today the ma
jority come from points miles from the
factory and help the older men make
the shells and guns needed by the men
at the front.
The pay is attractive. A smart boy
can earn $3.50 a week, or even $40 if
he has a good machine and can keep
steadily at work for as long as y hours
a day. Parents who have to choose
between putting their boys to learn a
trade at 81 or $3.50 a week and allow
ing them TO go into the arsenal at the
high remuneration are naturally in
clined to decide on the work which
not only brings in the quickest re-
turn, but seems to be in the national
interests as well.
Social workers who have the boys
welfare at heart are inclined to lament
that so many should be entering what
may not perhaps prove a permanent
occupation. They say that their flu
ture is not unlikely to become a prob
lem after the war and that the country
might well remember then that the
great army OF boy munition workers
played no small part in the difficult
time.
The daily life of these boys shows
what sacrifices they are making.
Thousands live an hours journey from
the factory, and some have to leave
home as early as $50 in the morning
and cannot get back till $3.50 in the
evening. All work II hours a day,
starting at and finishing at s. They
take the night shift too, also for u
hours, and often boy NAV be seen
asleep from sheer exhaustion on his
way home in tram car or train.

GIVE COMMUNICATION
TO MILITARY OFFICE

London.-The much abused war
Office, which has popularity been held
responsible for the ammunition Short
age, the lack of high explosives and
machine guns, the Gallipoli failure and
all of the other military misfortunes
of the war, has at last come in for a
round Of praise from scientific
source.
The war Office has been the sub
ject of well-merited obloquy In these
columns in connection with its wrong
headed conceptions of the value of
pharmaceutical qualifications" says
the Pharmaceutical Journal, and it
is our duty, as well as our pleasures
to now record equally deserved praises
on the emancipation of the department.
from its former shackles of ignor-
ance, official pride and traditional
prejudice"
The journal then goes on TO COM
mend the appointment of women in
military hospitals and better pay and
increased sympathy for qualified men
and women. 1t continues.
The enlightened view that the war
Office will in the future give preced-
ence in recognition over the compar-
atiyely unframed will give an inn
mense impetus TO effective and thor-s
ough methods of technical training,
and will simultaneously deal a heavy.
blow to short cutters and iashy in
efficients who have been the bane OF
British art, science and commerce.

is simple enough, merely the lessening
of this source of pollution as much as
possible as a more frequent exchange
of air. 1t is often possible to have a
pipe with flexible connections so that
the exhaust of any motor which has
to be idled can be conducted out of
doors. Usually it will be possible at
slight expense TO fix two or three ade-
duate ventilators in the ceiling. II
will always be possible to open the
windows wide occasionally and let the
poisoned air escape.

In reply wish to assure you that we
only turn out one quality Of motor
Each and every motor manufactured
by this company, no matter which
model, whether it is a special motor
or not, is built in accordance with
standard Continental practice, and the
very best materials and workmanship
are utilized in the manufacture of
same.
Believe, however, that on account Of
the extremely large quantity OIL
motors which we are producing for
you, it enables us to produce an even
better motor in some respects-that
is, in the way Of refinements, which
cannot always be obtained in motors
which we are putting through in
smaller quantities.
We do not manufacture any but
first grade motors, which are all
guaranteed against defects in ma
terial and workmanship under the
following general form of guarantee,
which is covered in your contract
with us:

against defects in material or work

Every effort is made by the ministry
of munitions to safeguard the health
Of the youngsters, but the problem is
a difficult one. Eight hour shifts are
being urged and efforts are being made
to improve the transportation facilities
to and from the arsenal. One Of the
latest suggestions and the one most
likely to be carried out is to build
miles of huts close to the arsenal
where the boys could live while en-
gagged in shell-making.
