WIDELY KNOWN Motor MAN
Came Here Less Than Week Ago to
Take Over Position Which Had Been
Held by j. w. Deoou - Remains
Taken to Chicago for Interment.

John w. Ruse aged forty three years,
one of the best known production ex-
perts in the industrial industry and re-
Gently named as works manager Of the
plant of the Nash Motors Company,
died at the Kenosha hospital at eight
O'Clock Friday evening following an at
tack Of acute dilation Of the heart.
Mr. Ruse was stricken at the plant of
the Nash company on last Tuesday
afternoon. Only short time before
he was stricken he had succeeded Jerry
W. DeCou as plant superintendent Of
the big industry. He was taken to the
Kenosha hospital and since that time
specialists in heart troubles had been
fighting to save his life. Friday after
noon just after five clock he showed
signs of improvement, but shortly
after he had relapse and became
unconscious and death came just be-
fore eight o'clock.
His death is a great loss to the auto
mobile world as he was regarded as
one of the most efficient men in the
business. He had been associated with
Charles w. Nash, the head of the Ke-
nosha company, for number Of years
and on account of the great success
he had made at other plants he had
been called to Kenosha.
Mr.. Ruse was for eight years identi-
fed with the Buick Motor Company at
Flint, Mich, for the last six years as
general superintendent of the plant.
He came to Kenosha several weeks ago
with a view of joining Mr.. Nash in the
big work Of largely increased produc-
ton from the Jeffrey plant. He was
enthusiastic over the opportunity which
was offered him in Kenosha and there
was no warning of his failing health
until he was stricken at the plant
on Tuesday. At that time it was
thought that he was suffering from
acute indigestion.
Nj Ruse was born forty-three years
ago in Virginia. His entrance into the
automobile business was made a num-
Der Of years ago with the Pennsylvania
Motor Company at Bryn Mawr, Pa.
After several years with that com
pany he joined the Nash forces at
the Buick factory.
He was master hand at building up
production, putting into practice many
methods at the Buick plant that won
him country wide distinction as an eff
fciency expert His death comes as a
shock to the entire industry and par
ticularly to those with whom he was
associated most closely.
MIR. Ruse, in my mind; was one Of
the greatest production men in the
motor car business said Mr.. Nash.
" His death is a distinct loss to the
Industry
Mr.. Ruse is survived by two child
rem, Olivia, seven years of age, and
Virginia, six years old. They were at
the home of relatives in Chicago at the
time of his death. Mrs. Ruse died
some five years ago at Flint.
The funeral will be held from the
residence Of his sister-in-law, Mrs.
Mary Orians ,433 Melrose street, Chi
cage, on Monday. The remains were
taken to Chicago this afternoon.
While Mr.. Ruse has been in Kenosha
but a short time he was widely known
to the men of the Nash organization
and the announcement of his death
brought many expressions of keen
sorrow.

French Have New
and Deadly Shell

Paris, July 25.--(By maiD-A new
shell that breaks into two thousand
pieces when exploded has just been put
into service and is expected to give the
French artillerymen a leadership that
viii probably not be overtaken in this
war. Whether the new explosives are
being used in the Somme offensive is
not known.
For months the French have been
experimenting to get a shell of the
highest augmentation. This new shell
is believed to answer the problem.
"If you can get piece of shell as
big as the point of a pin head into the
liver of an enemy soldier you've put
him out" said French artilleryman.
Early in the war, the Germans seek
ing high augmentation are believed
to have tried glass shells. The Ger
mans, however. discovered that glass
was powdered by the high explosive
and rendered harmless as a missile.

Nothing Heard from
Maine Submarine

Boston, Mass, Aug s.-After an all
night vigil by watchers along the coast
from Eastport to Boston, the antici-
pated arrival of another German mer.
chant submarine failed to materialize
early today. Following the report Of
Lowell w. Dunn, lookout at Cross Is.
land, that he had observed two sub.
marines rise to tne surface and then
submerge, the entire coast Of New Eng
land was stirred to watchfulness.
1t was expected that if Dunn S re-
port was true, the mysterious craft
would have been seen again or turned
into n port along the Maine coast, it
was believed today.
Both Portsmouth and Charestown
navy yards were insistent that no
United States submarines We're in
Maine waters and high official of
the Fore River Ship Yards declared
that there were no British submarines
in Canadian waters tnat might stray
dwon the Maine coast.

No Strike at Present

New York, Aug. S.-Presidents of
the four railroad brotherhoods and rep
resentatives of the 225 railroads af-
fected by the railway employees de-
mands, met mere today to listen to the
results Of the so-callel strihe vote, in
volving 100000 men. 1t is generally
known more than ninety per cent of
the men nave voted to strike unless
the demands for an eight hour basic
day and time and one half for over
time are granted.
Representatives of both employers
and employees say there is little possi-
biity Of an immediate strike even
though the situation is apparently
deadlocked. Although the Switchmens
Union Of North America asked for help
from the United States board of medi-
alton, officers of tne four brotherhoods
have not taken kindly TO any sugges-
tioh Of government aId in arbitration.
of the employees today
declared the men were dissatisfied with
the recent awards of the arbitration
boards and not with the theory itself.
The employees have publicly announced
opposition to the proposal that the in
terstate commerce commission investi-
gate the controversy. 1t is contended
that the commission is not equipped to
handle the situation and has no power
of settling wage disputes.
