By ARTHUR S. DRAPER

London, July 2.-History relates that
Edward III used cannon and gunpowder
when he invaded Scotland in 1927. This
is the first mention made Of their en-
ploym.nt in war in the British Isles
and there is some doubt regarding the
authenticity Of this record.
Gretna Green, famous the world over
as the place Of clendestine marriages
to avoid the English marriage laws, is
lust over the boundary line between
England and Scotland. A short dis
lance from the little shop OF the
smithy's where runaway couples once
sought the good Offices Of the local
preacher is a city that has sprung up
since the war, stretching for miles
and miles along the Solwsy Firth
Unlike most mushrooms cities, it Is pop
ulated almost entirely by girls
Scotch lassies and North Of England
misses, with a sprinkling Of Irish col
leens. And in this romantic spot they
are making more pounds of gunpowder
daily than King Edward III had men
in his army Of invasion; they are
manufacturing half the total output
Of the British Isles on the spot where
two years ago cattle and sheep were
grazing. II Is Britain's greatest ex-

Elect, at Il to |, Easily Takes
Thrilling Lake George
Steeplechase

Saratoga, n. Y, Aug. 3.-August Bel
mont furnished the sensation Of the
afternoon when his great handicap win
ner Stromboli crossed the line victori-
GUS in the Schuylerville Handicap
beating Capra, the swift Butler mare
! by nod.
II was the most stirring finish Of the
meeting. The pair hooked up three,
quarters from the wire and raced head
and head, with neither being able 10
gain the slightest advantage. When
they turned into the stretch they
Strengthened out as one. AS they came
closer To the wire the two riders, bus-
we'll and Lyke, fell to the bats. A Few
wards from the wire Stromboli got his
head in front. And that advantage
gathered in the palm of conquest.
This was the first real good showing
of this great racer this season. In his
previous starts he always pulled up
lame, but to-day he forgot all about
his former ailment. Stromboli was 8
to / shot. Capra was around TO l.
Clematis and Chiclet fought out Tor
favoritism, both being held at 8 to /.
Stromboli covered the mile and fur
long in 1:54.
The Lake George Steeplechase fur
nished the spectators with enough
thrills for the entire meeting. Seven
timbertoppers faced the flag, but only
three finished, and one, Archdale, had
TO be remounted to finish the course:
Royal Amber, the favorite, was so bad
ly hurt that IL was necessary TO de-
stroy him.
Robert Oliver started the tumbllng
act and then Leumas and Royal Amber
did brodies. Loeb Earn threw himself
out of the race by running outs The
last time around Archdale had the race
as good as won when he bobbled at a
hedge and tossed his rider. This left
the event at the mercy of Elect, II
to 1 shot, which won by open daylight.
In the opening event the favorite
players fell with a thump, for lmpera-
tor, the even money choice, wasn't
there at the finish. The purse went to
Kings Oaks, which grabbed off big
early lead and lasted long enough to
stagger over the line victorious. He
was played from 2 to 1 to 8 to 5.
Mother Machree finished second, with
Douglas S. an easy third.
Kernel Tom Mcdowell showed up a
very clever FLY in Olive Wood, which
won the third event, fve furlong az
fair. Olive Wood waited on ATLANTA
and eRose Dor to the head of the
stretch, when she came on to win ham
Oily. She showed that her real fond
ness is for longer route. She was a
heavily backed favorite, being played
down from 2 to TO Z to 8.
Aileen O., the even money favorite,
rolled home an easy winner in the fifth.
This was a claiming race, and through
a mistake of the number man Azalea
and Bellemere were posted as starters.
After few minutes Of betting they
were lowered, and their hackers made q
! big rush for their slips. The early
hackers Of the favorite profited.
Cheer Leader, at 8 to /, won the last
race easily. Pireus, the even money
choice, had not enough speed to break
in the money.

Mighty Commercial Army
What will the munitionettes OF
Gretna do when peace is made The
best brains of England are trying TO
find a solution of the question, though
even to-day the plant has not yet
reached its maximum capacity. Colos.
sal sums Of money have been expended
on the plant. Either the British gov
eminent must continue to operate 1t as
an explosive plant or turn it to COM
mercial purposes. As a celluloid fac
tory the present machinery could be
used with little change. Gretna may
be destined to die with the war, like
some Western mining towns when the
pay streak ended, but that seems high
ly improbable, for Britain, in the midst
Of war, Is preparing for the great COM
mercial battle to follow.
The munitionettes Saved old Eng

Germans; they will be ready to take
their place in the forefront Of the
British bsttalions in the bloodless, but
none the less desperate, struggle for
commercial supremacy. They are just
normal English and Scotch girls, but
they have learned the lesson Of disci-
pline and have become a mighty indus
trial army-a new asset for "old Eng
land"

more than this. II is city OF girls.
few of them over twenty-five years OF

girls do not enter the city until they

women as one could find in any eoun-
try.
Health Is Guarded
In the very first building / entered
the place where the bales OF cotton
waste are broken and tossed into a
shredding machine-I found the girls
doing all the work. Because of the
dust and lint flying around in the air
despite the use of ventilstors, the girls
wore respirators to protect their
throats and lungs. In the building
where the sharp fumes of sulphuric
acid rising from the watts bit the mem

moving about quickly and quietly as
only trained, healthy workers can do.

lite, the girls looked the picture OF
health. This general high standard or
health could not possibly be maintained
ha Lob
wer. not of the best. Gretna, where
the breeze is blowing in off the sea or
from the Scotch hills, is ideally situ-
sted. and the government has done its
best to find substitutes for what Nature
noes not provide.
OF all the belligerents, Britain 10
practically the only one using cordits
almost exclusively. There are various
reasons for this, chief of which is that
it can be preserved in any climate, and
that is n highly essential factor for
the Britons, with their colonies in all
parts Of the world. To make the
amount which one steamer could bring
from America five steamer loads OF
raw material must be imported. Brit.
ain has to import saltpetre from Chill,
sulphur from Sicily, cotton and fats
from America and pyrites from Spain.
That is one reason why so many of her
ships are unavailable as food carriers,
The Gretna munitionettes handle all
these raw materials from the time they
reach the plant until they are finally
combined in the nitrate cellulose SUBJ
stance called cordite.
Germany Well Supplied
There are munitionettes in Germany,
and they too are making explosives In
large quantities. The German navy
uses a nitrate cellulose explosive.
Fourteen years before the war Ger
many began to manufacture it In large
quantities, and there is reason to be-
lieve that her supply is far from ex-
hausted Before the British blockade
shut off her imports Germany had col
lected great stores Of cotton, and SINCE
then she has Communicated practically
all the supplies in the country.
II seems the height Of folly to ex-
pect her to run short Of this ingre-
dent in the manufacture Of high ex-
