WAR USES FOR FACTORIES
Manufacturers Surprised to Find What
Can Be Made In Their Plants In
Case of Emergency.

Here is a paragraph, shipped out OF
an article by George Creel In Every
body's Magazine. which shows the war
uses to which various peaceful manu-
factories can be subjected:
"A manufacturing jeweler was sur
prlsed to learn that his plant. with
few changes. could turn out perl
scopes; sash-chain maker found
that his machines were adapted
to the production Of cartridge clips
for rifles and machine guns; phOnO-
graph concern was discovered to be
well fitted for the manufacture of GER
tain delicate shell parts; makers Of
underwear may be relied on for ban
dages manufacturer of music-rOlls
for gauges cream-separatOr plant for
shell-primers; "a sewing machine COM
pany for gaines; recording and COM
ruting machine plant for fuses; an
infants food concern for shell plugs
drug manufacturers and dye works for
high explosives; finished shells may be
expected from candle-makers, flour
millers, tobacco manufacturers, and
siphon-makers silversmiths can make
cartridge-cases, bullet jackets, and
caps; while shrapnel can be made in
gas engine works, car factories, elec-
trio elevator works. locomotive works,
stove foundries and machine ships"

Older Men Sought As Army Officers.

Oioer meh Sou9ht As Army Oncers.
State military officers say that the
next officers training camps, which are
to begin July 26, are not only seek
ing older men, but will get them-4S2
of them from Michigan. That Is the
state quota.
Since war was declared there has
been stream Of letters and kilograms
to Adjutant-G General Bersey from men,
most of whom are past 35, who have
seen some sort OF service in the Span
ish war, in Porto Rico, Cuba or the
Philippines.
There has been nothing that such
men could be recommended for to
date, but now that the government
wants older men for the second camps,
it is thought here that those who have
offered their services first will again
come to the front.
The new order makes special pro-
vision and especial mention Of those
who have offered their services. AL
though Al is the general age limit
for citizens who have no military
connections, the age limit rises TO 5O
in cases where men are on the officers
reserve corps list as created by a
state, or where they show what the
government chooses to call remark
able adaptability."
All arms of the service are to be
filled by these older officers, although
1t is particularly specified in the orders
that the cavalrymen will be trained
dismounted as infantry. Most OF the
same regulations apply to the second
camps as to the ones now on. Pay
at the rate of 800 is promised, al
though the government insists 1t
would be better II the applicant bought
his own uniform.
Applications for this state must go
to Fort Wayne at Detroit They can
not be filed after July Is.

New Guard Units Cannot Be Formed.

No new units for the Michigan Ma

This means that extra units are to be
accepted only when all others are lit.

Lansing.
Frank III. Alfred, president of the
Pere Marquette system, declared, be-
fore the state railroad commission,
that unless some action is taken by
the government, Michigan will suffer
a coal famine the coming winter, and
that the Pere Marquette will not be
able to operate.
This statement came during hear
ing given shippers, who were claiming
that the road had taken several trains
off regular schedules.
President Alfred told the commits
sion Of efforts made by his road to
have the situation relieved by frequent
trips to Washington and when asked
by Commissioner Glasgow why he
did not unite with the other roads in
general protest, stated that all the
larger roads are securing coal, but
that the Pere Marquette is being dis
criminated against.
He stated that the Grand Trunk
and Michigan Central were storing
large quantities of coal for winter and
that the roads affiliated with coal
mines and interests could secure a
supply, but that the Pere Marquette
was not so fortunate.
1--WE have no contracts for coal for
next year and 1t Is not possible to
make contracts" said Mr.. Alfred. I'VE
do not know where or how 1t will be
possible to get coal and at what price.
Coal confiscated and bought on the
outside by the Pere Marquette since
January has cost in excess of normal
price over $780, ,000."
The Michigan railroad commission
will investigate the reported condition
as regards the Pere Marquette, so
far as their powers will allow, and will
try to secure some redress for the
road and Michigan coal users.

To Keep Alive Service Spirit.

And still the wonder is growing here
at the results Of registration day.
There is an lnflowing stream of tele-
grams and letters from the country,
most OF which give In enthusiastic de-
scription the marked service spirit and
service desire with which the young
men of all sections of the country went
to their duty.
Belief Is strong In Washington to-
day that the war department will take
advantage of the patriotic psychology
Of the occasion TO move quickly with
selections and exemptions and thus to
give the country It's new national army
in short order.
1t is known that officials believe In
stant preparation for the rest Of the
work should be made and that no more
time than is necessary should be given
to allow the ardor of youth to cool.
There was volunteer spirit evident
everywhere Registration day, and II Is
this spirit which quick action, Wash
ington believes, will keep alive.
It Is realized that President Wilson
