PORCELAIN FACTORY
NEW WAR MACHINE
Makes Retorts for Asphyxiat-
ing Gas Instead of
Dainty Vases.
ARTISTS NEW WORK


Paris, Sept, 8.-The world-famed
national porcelain factory at Sevres
has suddenly been transformed into
part of the huge war machine. In
stead of making those dainty and
fragile statuettes and vases, which
are the wonder of art collectors, il
is turning out "poteries de guerre,"
or earthenware rctorts and cauldrons
for manufacturing asphyxiating gas
and for all the various chemical pro-
cesses Of producing high explosives.
Even the famous artists whose names
are associated with the delicate color
ing of Sevres porcelain, are now ex-
ercising their art in enameling these
huge retorts so as to make them more
resistant to the acids and chemicals
used in the war processes.
Early in the war, NJ. Bourgeois,
Administrator OF Sevres, learned that
the production of high explosives for
artillery was falling short, owing to
the lack OF earthen receptacles cap
able OF treating the acids. He there
fore proposed to the Minister OF Fine
Arts, NJ. Dalimer, that the art work
Of Sevres be suspended apd all its
energies given to producing the re-
ceptacles needed for powder making.
This was approved and soon the
transformation was begun. There
were many difficulties to overcome.
Half of the force had gone off to
war. Those who remained were ar
lists trained in the most delicate class
Of work. The furnaces, too, were de-
signed for small art objects, and there
was only one furnace big enough to
make powder cauldrons.
Chemists Study War.
But the obstacles were overcome,
the whole establishment being inspired
with the idea that it was contributing
to the national defense. The sculptor
of bisque figures did not hesitate to
make the plaster moulds for the big
rctorts. The chemists studied art
methods OF adapting the various hard
clays to the new kind OF war work.
The artists did their part in enamel
ing. The working force soon had
four furnaces, usually employed on
vases and bisques, enlarged so as to
bake the big powder cauldrons. Soon
the work was going on at such rate
that branch railway was run into
the factory, connecting it with the
great powder factories at Angouleme,
St. Chamand, St. Fons, Toulouse,
Bordeaux, Dion and Brest.
Increased Production.
Thus Sevres has gone through a |
complctet transformation, and is to-
day furnishing thousands Of recep-
tacles of all sorts in which powder,
explosives and gases OF all sorts are
manufactured and stored. With a |
staff less than half its usual strength,
the production of Scvres is FIVE times
as great today as it was before the
war. And besides the great Quantity
OF its war output, the quality OF Its
work is making il sort OF expert |
school for the engineers OF the vari-
Gus powder factories. The chief
workers of these factories now come
to Sevres to study the chemical |
methods employed in hardening clays
and making them more resistant 10 |
high temperature. A huge new fur
mace. three times the size OF any here
tofore used, is now being built for
the manufacture of retorts of special |
" large dimensions. And the change
IRON an art basis to an industrial |

CLOSING STOCK LETTER

NEW YORK. Dec. 2s.-Outside of accumulation in marine stocks and liquidation in the motor stocks. the market has been almost featureless. There is plenty of short selling by those who were successful on the last de- cline and some liquidation of left over accounts. Stocks were sold today and will be sold tomorrow by those who did not care to go home long of stocks over the holidays. It is time for great discrimination. Many of industrials are through for good, but there are some which possess intrinsic merit The man who can discover that and purchase now after the big decline will make considerable money. If the war continues this country will have pros perity. If it stops it is not going to be ruined. We did business before the war and we will do it after the war and while earnings will fall off, prices in many cases have discounted this and 1t is well to remember that these companies that have made enormous profits in stocks like U. $. Steel, have not paid out their money but have it in their treasuries. Always on the top. the market looks as if it would never break. and after a big decline every one becomes hopeless and thinks it will never get a recovery. We believe in the 1917 and the good stocks like railroads especially will be appreciated.
 Directors of Wabash at meeting Fri day ar. expected declared on pfd. A stock ae rate of 1 per cent per annum. It is planned to keep dividend at this rate for possibly a year. Directors are also planning to call special meeting of stockholders to vote upon a big re- funding mortgage to provide for future financing for improvements and bet terments.
 We hear that the Union Pacific per cent extra cash dividend may be fol- lowed later on by distribution of treasury assets.

 NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-(Wall Stree) With international affairs the German peace proposals and the Mex lcan situation-again looming large on the financial horizon, the stock mar ket today experienced another de- pression in prices. Total sales amount ed to barely one million shares.
 War and semi-War stocks were again the center of the general move ments which soon took in shares of all descriptions. United States Steel was in free supply at a gross loss Of 39s points with virtually no recovery, and allied stocks broke to points, with fourteen for Gulf States Steel, 3 to for petroleumns. coppers and sugars. and about as much for other Specialties, whose course always has been guided by the munitions and equipments.

CHICAGO. Dec. 2S. - Depression which was manifest in the wheat market nearly all the time today. seemed to be chiefly due to the heavi- ness of New York stock quotations. The close was unsettled 1A to 2% cents net lower, with May at $1.72A to $17S and July at $13S% to $1.39 Corn lost F to 1 cent, and oats a shade to B cents. Provisions finished unchanged to 35 cents down.
