METAL SHORTAGE OF WAR ZONE

The need or metal in Austria has
become so great that house-to-house
canvass is being made for articles
of copper, brass, bronze. nickel and
tin, and they must be promptly sur
rendered. Grocets must give up
weights, weighing more than one
pound, from their scales. House
wives turn over their brass curtain
poles and ornaments and their cher
ished copper kettle. A moderate
price is paid if desired, but citizens
are vieing with each other In do
mating their property to the country.
A new regulation has recently gone
out withdrawing all nickel coins
from circulation and providing for
the issuing of iron coins as substi-
tutes.

TAGEBLATT EDITORS
 HELD WITHOUT BAIL
Charged With Treason for Giving Aid and Comfort
 to Enemy.

Philadelphia, Sept. 17.-Louis Wer- ner, editor in chief. and Dr. Martin Darkow, managing editor of the Phil adelphia Tageblatt, indicated by the federal grand jury here on Saturday on the charge of treason in publish ing articles and alleged distorted news despatches tending to give aid and comfort to the enemy, were in the custody of the United States marshal today pending a decision by Judge Dickison of the district court on the question whether they shall be sub- mitted to bail The charge of trea- son is not bailable except at the dis erection of the court.
 Both men waived the service of bench warrants today and U. s. Dis trict Attorney Kane asked, but did not urge, that they be held without bail. Counsel for the defendants op- posed the request and said he felt that the $10,00O bail under which the men were held last week on charges of violating the espionage act was sufficient. Counsel said Werner had two brothers who fought through the Civil war and two cousins were buried at Gettysburg. Werner, he said, had been citizen of the United States for 30 years. Dr. Darkow, it was brought out by the district attorney, applied for citizens papers in 1894, but never followed up the application.
 The court granded the request to hold the men without bail under ad- visement and, in the meantime. the arraignment of Werner, Darkow and three other members of the staff of the Tageblatt on the charge of violat- ing the espionage act was tentatively fixed for Thursday. The three other men are Peter Schaefer, president of the company which publishes the pa per: Paul Nogel, the treasurer, and Herman Lemke, business manager.

Mayor Prepares to Give Sol diers Housing Farewell When They Leave for Aver Thursday.

Mayor G. A. Quigley stated this afternoon that after consulting with various prominent men and having ascertained the wishes of the com- munity he is making plans for a. fare we'll celebration, simple but sincere, for the men who leave Thursday morning to join the National Army at Aver, Mass. Inasmuch as there are upwards of 200 men going at that time the mayor thinks it but fitting to recognize them and, he states, he would like similar demonstration when the second large contingent goes in October.
 Orders will be issued for 11O men from the first district and 96 from the second district to assemble at the State Armory on Arch street Thurs day morning at o'clock. The mayor plans to have the Home Guard and the City Guard, both in uniform, a platoon of police bands and a drum corps act as an honorary escort for the new soldiers as they march to the depot to take a special train which will leave at 9:20 a. m. It is also possible that arrangements may be made whereby some of the school children may be assembled along the line of march to cheer the men on their way.

AMERICAN EXPEDITION PILGRIM FATHERS OF F'I7
Former Premier Clemenceau Likens Them to Pioneers
 of New England.

American Training Camps in France, Sunday, Sept. 16.-American infantrymen of the expeditionary army held their first field day today since their landing in France with Georges Clemenceau, former French premier as the guest of honor. A battalion of an infantry regiment gave demonstrations of machine gun, rifle and bayonet assaults, concluding with a genuine American athletic pro- gram, including hundred dashes. tugs of war and boxing bouts.
 The entire battalion that participat- ed in the program lunched in the open air, M. Clemenceau being the guest of Gen. Sibert and the French officers dining with the American brigadier general.
 In reply to the American officers M. Clemenceau said:
 "I feel highly honored at the priv ilege of addressing you. know America we'll, having lived in your country, which have always ad- mired, and I am deeply impressed at the presence of an American army on French soil in defense of liberty right and civilization against bar barians. My mind compares this event to the Pilgrim Fathers who landed on Plymouth Rock seeking lib- erty and finding it. Now their chill dren's children are returning to fight for the liberty of France and the world"
 Later M. Clemenceau addressed the entire battalion saying:
 You men have come to France with disinterested motives. You came not because YOU were compelled to come, but because you wished to come. Your country always possessed love and friendship for France. Now you are at home here and every French house is open to you. You are not like the people of other na- tions because your motives are devoid of personal interest and because you are filled with ideals. You have heard of the hardships before you, but the record of your countrymen proves that you will acquit your selves nobly, earning the gratitude of France and the world.''

FORGE LAST LINK
 IN QUEBEC BRIDGE
Largest Span in World Being Placed in
 Position-Fell in 1916, Killing IA.

Quebec, Sept. 17.-With thousands of spectators lining both sides of the St. Lawrence, the great engineering feat of raising the central span of the Quebec cantilever bridge into position 150 feet above the river was begun today.
 Brought at high tide to the bridge site on pontoons, the huge span, long, est in the world, was made ready for hoisting early this morning as soon as the tide should recede and leave is suspended on four great steel chains attached to 15O ton jacks To- cated on the unconnected cantilever arms which stretch out from each side of the river. It was the break ing of one of these chains which, in 1916, when the first attempt was made to raise the span, caused a loss of IA lives.
 At 9:45 o'clock, the tide having fallen, daylight appeared between the decks of the pontoons and the floor of the span. AS the pontoons floated down stream without their burden cheers broke out from the thousands on shore. The lifting was immediate ly begun although so slowly that mo- tion was hardly perceptible.
 Between this city and the Montreal stock market, brokers wires were set up to tell the story of success or fail ure to anxious investors in the stock of the builders of the bridge, the Dominion Bridge company.

ONCE MORE-NO!

Washington, Sept. 1.-The un- Era cea ble rumor that the government intends to take canned and dried foods from homes persists and has spread to such an extent that the de- partment of agriculture today placed an explicit and official denial in the hands of every county agent and rep resentative with instructions to give 1t widest publicity. The government never has contemplated commandeer- ing foods from the homes in any sense. and the persistency of the ru- nor leads officials to believe it's basis probably may be found in propa- ganda to hinder food conserva ton and thereby continue high prices.

New York Infantryman Drops Out of Line and Commits
 Suicide.

Mineola, Sept. 17.-While drilling with his company on the parade grounds here today at Camp Mills, George Neff, Company F, 165th In- fantry, formerly the 69th of New York. dropped back of the line, placed the muzzle of his rifle in his mouth and fired, the bullet killing him instantly.
 It is not known where Neff got the service cartridge he used, as it is against the rules to have such cart ridges in the camp. An investigation is being made. Neff. a cashier, had enlisted in June in the 71st New York regiment and was a member of that organization until transferred to the 69th. He was about 40 years of age.

CITY TO CHEER ITS SONS
 MARCHING AWAY TO CAMP

the two exemption boards show that the entire quota of 513 men has been raised. In the first district, TITO men have been examined by the phy- sicians out of a gross total of 3,S35 registrants. In the second district 1,600 out of 3,428 registrants have been eXanintd.
 The first board has already certi- fled sos men, which is 34 more than the first quota The boards have been notified that of 12 men already sent to Aver from the second district 10 have passed. Two others are not men tioned and this is considered strange inasmuch as they are J. J. Griffin and F. P. Howard, the first to leave the city. In the first district nine out of IA have passed thus far. There is some talk, unofticially, that every man registered in the draft may be ex- ~mined within a short time. At pres ent the governors of the several states are considering the advisabil1- ty of such a move and should they so decide all men in this city who have not been summoned for examination would have to appear.
 This afternoon @ joint meeting of several prominent Hebrews, includ- ing representatives of Jehuda Halevi lodge, I. o. B. B., was scheduled to be held in the office of Councilman A. Gorbach to make final plans for a banquet and reception to be given to- morrow evening to all Hebrews of New Britain who have been drafted or who have enlisted. Inasmuch as a majority of the Hebrews enlisted in the regular service are home on short furloughs, granted in recognition of the Jewish holidays, it is expected that tomorrow nights affair will be largely attended.
