MAY CONVERT AUTO
PLANTS TO AIRCRAFT
Government Call Upon Manufacturers
10 Thought Likely.

Detroit.-Owners Of automobiles, par
ticularly those who have been accus-
toned to discard their cars solely be-
cause newer models have been placed
upon the market, will do well to give
the highest degree of care to the cars
they now own.
Brigadier General George o. Squier
went to Detroit, and it is understood
that the purpose Of his visit was to
confer with the manufacturers of au-
tomobiles in regard to obtaining their
cooperation in the manufacture of
aeroplanes. 49,,
There are few factories in the Unit.
ed States that manufacture aeroplanes
and each of these factories makes q
different type of craft. The aggregate
capacity of these factories is wholly
inadequate to meet the demands Of the
program of the aircraft production
board, and it is therefore inevitable
that the manufacturers Of machinery
which can be used as now made OF
whose plants can be adapted most
readily to making parts for aeroplanes
will be requested to give precedence
to the manufacture Of parts suitable
for aircraft.

Meteorites,

Specimens Of neteorites command
such a value that those which fall to
the earth are generally broken up into
innumerable parts and scattered in all
directions among the private collec-
tons. Thus one of the earliest known
meteorites. that found in Eusisheim.
Upper Alsace. in 1902, is represented in
sixty-six collections. The result Of this
practice is that exorbitant prices are
asked by dealers for meteoric material

HEAVY FIRE Of
CONSERVATIVES
Blame for Duration Of War
Thrust Upon Chancellor
Bitterness Grows.

Copenhagen, May 8-The conserva-
tives and pan-Gerinans have now
brought up their heavy artillery in
the battle against Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg and boldly lay
the blame for the long duration of
the war at his door. The conservat i've
Deutsche Tages Zeitung explains that
three or four days delay in German
mobilization at the outset of the war,
due to the chancellors hesitant pol
icy, caused the loss of the battle of
the Marine
The paper holds that the troops
that were detached to stem the Rus
sian invasion of East Prussia would
have been sufficient to change the
defeat of Gen. Won Kluck into vic
tory and that. in that case the war
would have ended in a speedy and
decisive German triumph. 1t goes on
| to declare that the chancellor threw
away second chance of terminating
the war by opposing ruthless subma-
rine warfare It cites Field Marshal
Conrad Won Hoetzendorf, Austrian
commander in chief, as saying re-
Gently:
1.-THE war would have been over
long ago IL the submarine campaign
had begun a year earlier"
The pan-Germans and annexation
lists also are comparing the chancel-
Tor to Bismarck and demanding his
retirement because he does not meas
ure up to Germany's iron man" The
agitation for the downfall of Beth
mann-Hollweg is unconcealed in
press and parliament and is reinforce
ed by mass meetings organized by inn
perialist leagues and the independ-
emit committee for a German peace.
The bitterness increases as the
chances grow for a reform of politi-
cal conditions in Germany. The chan
cellor's opponents couple their at
tacks with far from flattering re-
marks about the Hungarian
government for it's declarations in IA
vor of moderate peace terms.
