WORK ON ARMOR PLANT
TO BE STARTED AT ONCE
Secretary Daniels Makes Announce
ment Following Selection of
Charleston. w. Va, Site.

Construction of the governments s
armor plate and proiectile plants at
Charleston. w. Va, will be started i'm
mediately, Secretary Daniels said to-
day. following his announcement of
the selection of site there for the
proposed factories. Congress appro-
priated $11 100000 for the armor plate
plant and S1,7oo,o00 for the projectile
plant.
The selection was based upon the rec
ommendaton of a special naval board
that the West Virginia city offered the
most desirable location from the stand
point of military safety and easy ac-
cess to manufacturing materials. The
board personally inspected sites in
twenty-nine cities out of more than
100 which offered sites.
The proposed government plant viii
be located on one of five sites offered
free of cost to the government by
Charleston citizens. All of the sites
lie along the Kanawha river. which is
navigable to packets to Charleston,
but are above high water and flood
marks.

Vile shows on shipboard was demon
strlted, and there were many other
pictures showing the fighting men OF
the navy at play.
OF great interest to the spectators
were scenes contained in the latest
Pathe Weekly, which was obtained
through the courtesy of the Pathe him
exchange and the management of the
Cosmos Theater This film was devoted
almost entirely to preparedness activl-
ties in this country since the declara-
tion of war and dealt particularly with
the navy. Various navy activities were
shown. but none of them created such
great impression or the audience as did
scenes showing torpedo boat destroy
ers driving through heavy sea with
the waves breaking about them. Scenes
at the Capito' on the day the special
session of Congress convened were
shown, and also pictures of Speaker
Champ Clark and other leaders in Con-
srcss The finn concluded with Il pic

with a punch" the sailor made his
appeal for men for the navy. Enlist
ing in the navy at this time will serve
double purpose, he said. Not only
will the country be benefited by the
services of the recruit in this hour
of need, but the recruit also will be
benefited by his service with the colors.
Yeoman Thompson explained the rate
of pay of enlisted men in the navy
and of the opportunities offered them
to save money.
Don't be a Stacker" he said. Don't
wait until another fellow enlists to
do your fighting, but get busy right
now and enlist Yourself" said the
sailor. leaning forward from the plat
form on which he stood and addressing g
his remarks to the hundreds of young
men standing before him.
a like appeal was voiced by Lieut..
Bryant. who read the German proc
lsmation to the Belgians, and explained
what might happen if the United States
was invaded.
IF you are high school or college
student and want to enlist then ask
your school authorities for a certificate
stating that You sacrificed your diploma
for the welfare of your country. Such
certificate will mean more to Won
in later life than any diploma possibly
could

of which the National Capital seldom
has seen, was staged in front of The
Star building last night when about
5000 persons gathered there to witness
the second exhibition of motion pic
lures in connection with The Stars
campaign to obtain recruits for the
United States Navy.
Assembled there primarily to view
the pictures, every one in the great
crowd became impressed with the spirit
of the occasion, and joined in a spon-
taneous outburst of patriotism Aroused
by the playing of patriotic airs by the
band of the President yacht, the May
flower, they Joined in singing The
Star Spangied Banner" and America"
in a great chorus of voices that could
be heard for squares.
The program of pictures was hardly
under way when the crowd became so
great that traffic on 11th street had to
be suspended. In a few minutes the
street and sidewalks became packed
tightly with people and the crowd ex-
tended well up toward Z street and

Ringing cheers greeted the remarks

of young men who packed into the lob
by of The Star building to obtain in
formation about enlisting in the navy
from representatives of the navy in
charge of the recruitig office estab-

tanned the names of several score of
prospective applicants for enlistment,
who promised to call at the general re-
cruiting station at 30s 9th street north
west within the next few days to offer
their services to the country.
Many of them visited the station today
and arranged to undergo the physical ex-
animation preparatory to enlisting-
