WOOLEN MILL ASKED
TO HELP EQUIP ARMY
EMPLOYEES OF LOCAL PLANT Or :
DERED To REMAIN AT
POST. NOT ENI.LSTING.

The Pendleton Wooden Mills as
well as all other mills in the country
will be required by the government
to help equip the big army being rails
ed, and all mill employees will be ex-
pected to remain in their positions
rather than enlist. This much Was
made plain in a letter received this
morning by c. NJ Bishop of the Pen
dleton and Washougal mills from
Colonel John T. knight. who has
charge of the quartermaster corps Of
the western division.
1t is a grave mistake, he writes, for
mill employees to enlist in the army
navy or marine corps as they are
needed much more in their present
positions He adds that it is just as
much the part of patriotism for them
to remain a part of the army of pro-
duction which must supply the army
at the front as it is to bear a gun. AMI
he urges mill operators to urge upon
their employees the necessity of stay
ing BY their positions.
While in San Francisco last week.
Mr.. Bishop called upon Colonel
Knight and was advised BY him that
the government would expect the
mills to give half of their production
to the army. Already the washougal
mills have been started upon the work
of manufacturing army blankets
Later it may be necessary to operate
the mills day and night to meet tbs
demands of the government The
Bishop mills had already contracted
their full output but like other mills
will have - cancel some of the con-
tracts to fill the government orders
None of the employees Of the Pen
dIeton mills have enlisted yet but five
men. including Harry
Krebs, formerly of PendletOn, have
gone from the Washougal mills to en-
list. 1t is possible that these men Will
be required to return to their posi-
tions. England was handicapped
great deal during the first periods OF
the war by the large number of mill
hands volunteering for field service
and later had to bring these men back
to assist in keeping up production

Germany's war managers are playing
the shrewdest publicity game since
the war began to cause a relaxation
of Americas preparations or Germany
is actually beset by worse internal
dissensions. than any belligerent IL
compelled to face. Private dispatch
es from apparently authentic sources
emphasized the seriousness of the
situation. and hinted broadly that one
solution may be the appointment of
Won Bernstorff. ex-ambassador to
America. as a successor to Foreign
Secretary Zimmerman. The ap-
pointment would be with the specific
idea that Bernstorff would attempt a
reconciliation with the United states.

tion. The Times correspondent has
written of the "coruscations of hail
of Stokes bombs most awe
Inspiring both in appearance and ef-
feet"
At the front the gun has been re-
garded for many months with increas-
ing enthusiasm. Officers and men
have said that it is by far the most
effective short range weapon we pos
sess.
a wounded soldier wrote home:
Tell dad-to let Mr.. Stokes know that
I saw the way his gun blew the Huns

Wilfred Stokes, the inventor of the
gun, lives at Ockham. near Ripley.
Surrey. He has said that had II not
been for Aoyd-George's foresight his
invention might have gone on the
scrap heap.
Asked how he came to invent the
gun, Mr.. Stokes said: "A friend of
mine came back from France and
told me he was convinced that this
war was a battle OF wits. and that
the side which GOULD produce the
most effective death dealing machines
would wfn.

never wished to invent a gun that
would SO much as lift an eyebrow,
but this idea just came to me after
what my friend had said. 4 good
deal OF experimenting, chiefly on my
own ground at Ockham. ended in the
production OF the present gun, the
chief characteristics of which are
simplicity, lightness, and Quickness
in firing.
