Gigantic British She'll Factories

There are today in Great Britain. says Sydney Brooks in an article in the March issue of National Service magazine, more than 4.5O0 firms that before the war knew nothing of muni- tions and never dreamed of making them and that are. now doing nothing else About 100 colossal government plants have been built. One-third of these factories are national shell fac tories for the production of light and medium shall, organized and managed by local boards of directors. Of the remainder 12 are national projectile factories manufacturing heavy shell, 16 are national filling factories and stations for loading gun and trench mortar ammunition and grenades, 2 are special fuse factories, 22 are ex- plosives factories, and others are en- gagged in the production of cartridge cases, small arms ammunition, gauges and tools. I have called them colos- sal The 12 heavy shell factories cov- CT an area of more than 200 acres; the 16 filling factories and stations, with more than 2,000 buildings, cover D. 400 acres; the 22 explosives factories cover more than 6,6O0 acres, one giant among them covering by itself more than 5000 acres; and in addition 40 warehouses have been built for filled shells, etc., with a storage area of more than two million square feet.

Bostonian Claims His Sub mersible Vessel Will Rev

Boston, March 2O.-Boston's first one-man submarine is under course of construction in East Boston and will be ready for the water and active du- ty in the early spring. The Hub craft is unlike, any other undersea boat, and it's inventor and builder, William of ITO Trenton street, Me1rose, is con f1dent his vessel is going to revolu- tionize the undersea science as far as speed is convened.
 Although MT. Quigley's craft is be- ing built solely as a. pleasure craft it is capable of being armed with a deck gun and torpedo tube. A fleet of them could destroy hostile svessels which might attempt to enter Boston Harbor.
 The vessel is being built in a small machine shop in Border street, where MT. Quigley has perfected many in- ventions.
 The submarine is 12 feet long and is shaped like a shark. The. coming tower, or cabin, is placed we'll for ward. In here the navigator of the craft will sit and contol it's movements The periscope is of the same type as the larger subs.
 A 2o-horsepoweN motor will propel the submarine. The peculiar shape of the ship and the type of motor to be used prompt MT. Quigley to pre- dict great speed for his boat. He,would make no predictions as to the exack speed the craft will make, but declar- ed it would be sufficient for all prac- tical purposes.

ire regularly passing along the route and working for the farmers at odd jobs, till he became familiarly known to most of the people of these agri- cultural communities. In his pere- grinations, it is said, he avoided passing through the cities. and his only activities that connected him with his former professional life were his constant defence of his hobo brethern. During his sojourn here he has frequently defended before justice courts, members of the fra ternity arrested for begging or other depredations upon public or private property. In one instance when Connecticut law made begging fe1- ony, he followed one case to the su- perior court, hiring a lawyer to de- fend the unfortunate.
 About a year after his coming to Bennett's bridge, members of his family came here to visit him but re- turned without him, and their efforts to change his mode of life proved uh- availing so far as could be seen. Once or twice since they visited him, ,Nand 1t is said arranged that money should be sent him regularly. This prOffer of aid was rejected or at least with drawn, for Moore resumed 'his old ways of living. He had shacks in various woods to which he repaired in winter, or in indictment weather, but the chief use he put them to was as Eefuges for the hobos he met on his travels. He was seldom alone. But SO far as the investigation of the ruins of his latest domicile show, he was alone last Monday when he met his death by fire in his Cheshire shack. His only connection with his former state was his habit of writing.
 People who observed him closely say he always carried a sack in which was packed compactly, manuscript, but noa one can be found who ever hadf a peek at the episto1atory con- tents. If he was writing a book on the Study of Tramp he certainly was studying the subject at first hand by personal acquaintance, and spent a long apprenticeship. in the work. What the nature of the writ ing was will now never be known for the manuscript perished with him. It is as much an unknown quantity as was the man himself.
 Whether any of his family are now alive or not is not known. He was buried in a pauper's grave.

 OF BIG RETREAT

Berlin, March 20, via London The morning newspapers of yesterday gave the German public it's first news of the big events on the front in France. All published articles by military experts explaining the move ment as part of the strategical plan of the general staff for a decision on the western front and a master stroke to vitiate the preparations of the En- tente for an offensive, giving a de- cided advantage to- the Germans These writers are unanimous in ex- pressing the full confidence in Field Marshal Won Hindenburg. The Deutsche Tages Zeit1.ng says:
 This is not the first strategic re- treat Von Hindenburg has executed in this war. It is only necessary to re- member his great retreat from before Warsaw and the part evacuation of So far these retreats of Won .Hindenburg always have borne fruit a hundred fold, so that we may face the new measure of our highest
 military command with we'll founded confidence and the full assurance that it furnishes the preliminary to new German successes.''
 The Morgenpost says: '-rhe German people can and must have full conf dence in their leaders. especially Won Hindenburg and his able counsellor and assistant Von Ludendorff. De- yelopments may be awaited with calm confidence"
 we must not forget says the vos- sische zeitung, that the same von who began the Transyl- vanian campaign with a retreat and who in 1914 evacuated conquered strip of Poland to strike the Russians like a bolt of lightning, now stands master of the battles on our western front''

Especial to The Farmer)

Sandy Hook, Conn, March 2O.- The, career of John Moore by birth and Training a gentleman and schol- ar, but apparently a tramp from choice was ended last week when he was burned to death in a shack in the woods of Cheshire. 7 Moore first became known to our people about 40 years ago, when as a child he resided with his parents at Bennett's Bridge. His father was one of the chief contractors on the New York and New England rail- road being built through here from Boston, Mass, to FishlMll on Hudson. He was a boy of not more than or dinary intelligence, advancing rapid ly in his studies, and was. the pride of his teachers
 When the road was. completed in 1879 the family moved to New Jer- sey, and John entered Cornell Uni versity. He graduated with honors, and later studied law. He practiced his profession in the interior of New York and it is said that few lawyers of his day could plead case better than he. His speciality was the qrim- lndl law ana Ills pT0I0T0nCGS LnG1 O0- fence of "hobos" arrested for tres passing on railroad property for pet ty pilfering or vagrancy.
 About 20 years ago something sud- denly went wrong with the successful lawyer for he disappeared from the city where he lived. His family sought him far and wide, employing deteitives in the search for months without avail.
 He came directly to his old home here 1t seems but no one recognized the bright-eyed Moore boy in the dis reputable hobo driven from the freight car by the train crew at Pom peraug station. He had not left the cars for 48 hours and was very hun gry- At the first farm house he was hospitaby entertained and after his hunger was appeased he remained for several days near the home of his youth Then he sought odd jobs and worked long enough at splitting wood or in garden work to procure him meals, or begged and received hand outs

In War or Peace
You'll Need Food and Ralment
IN either case business will be good in this
country.
Cotton has advanced l25 per cent
Silk has advanced IS per cent.
Linen has advanced 225 per cent.
American made goods will be in great demand.
Mills in many lines have sold up for 1913. This is
now the richest nation in the history of the world
and the business of the country is in splendid con-
dition for any eventually.
Even if we are drawn into the war, the y. S. will
be very slow in sending troops abroad, at all, and
there is not likely to be much disturbance of bust
ness in this country if any. An enormous purchase
of supplies by the government will be further
stimulus to trade So any farmer who fails to plant
all the acreage he can possibly tend in food products
will make big mistake.
Remember if there should be any failure in any OF
our food crops, it would be a great calamity, for
America is now the breadbasket of the world and
prices would reach the highest level ever known.
Be on the safessside and plant your fence corners
