MADE IN BUYING
BY GOVERNMENT
tBy Associated Press.)


Washington, April 1S.-The govern
ment has saved $S50,000 on heavy car
fridge cases bought under the recent
agreement made with copper produc-
ers by Bernard Baruch of the advisory
commission OF the Council OF National
defense. The sum was saved, 1t was
announced, in orders placed with the
Winchester Repeating Arms Co., the
Toledo Bridge and Crane Co. and the
Worcester Pressed Steel Co. The gov
eminent is supplying the manufao-
turers with the necessary copper in
stead of purchasing it through the
manufacturers at market prices. Cop
per men have agreed to supply the
government with several million tons
Of copper at the average price OF the
last ten years.
Mr.. Baruch is working on similar
agreements with lead, zinc and oil
producers and has completed an agree
ment under which the government will
get steel at a price far below the mar
ket rate.

Copenhagen, via London, April 1s.--
The reduced bread ration in Germany
has now gone into effect, Judging
from items in German newspapers it
appears the reduction, has caused
great discomfort among workmen and
even threats to retalAate by strikes.
A proposal strongly supported
among the metal workers was to re-
duce the hours of work by one-fouEth.
Socialist and army newspapers ap-
i pealed to the workmen to accept the
scdeprivations and not to imperil the
soldiers by q reduction in the NUM-
retion output The metal workers orr
sanitation then threw its influence
against any demonstration of dissatis-

BAgdad, Mescpotanaia, April 1S.--
The much nnaligned dust OF the Tigris
valley was an important factor in the
taking of Bagdad by the British army
1t was . dust storm. so thick that one
could not see four feet in front Of him
the Diala river. where the Turks made
their last stand.
The last battle before Bagdad is
likely to become historic mainly or
account of the lighting at the crossing
OF the Diala, about eleven miles from
Bagdad. It was necessary to cross
opposite the village OF Diala, where
the stream Is about 100 yards wide
in the face of an enemy sheltered be-
hind thick houses, walls, and gardens
armed with machine guns and rifles
There were two days Of very desper-
ate lighting before the crossing was
effected.
The attack on the night of March 4
was checked, but the quality of cour-
age shown has never been surpassed
in war. Immediately the first pontoor
was lowered over the ramp, the whole
launching party was shot down in .
and the Turks had concentrated their
machine guns in the houses on the
opposite bank. A second pontoon
reached the middle Of the stream when
a terrific fusillade was opened on 1t.
The crew of Ave rowers and ten rife
men was killed, and the boat fioated
downstream. A third boat got near
ly across the river but was bombed
and sunk. All the crew was killed, but
there was no holding back.
The orders still held to secure the
passage. Crew after crew pushed off
to an obvious and certain death. The
second and third groups of pontoon
crews were exterminated in the same
way, and their pontoons drifted out
into the Tigris to float past the Brit
ish camp in daylight with the freight
of dead. The pontoon parties were
volunteers, so chosen that all battal-
ions OF the brigade would share the
honors OF the night. The loss of all
the available portoons finally stopped
the efforts to cross the river.
On the second night the attempt
was resumed with equal gallantry.
But this time the attack was preceded
by a bombardment Registering by
artillery had been impossible on the
first day in the speed OF the pursuit
It was the artillery barage that finally
secured the troops their footing-not
the shells themselves, but the dust
storm raised by them. The dust, fine
particles Of dried Tigris mud, was so
thick that it formed a curtain behind
which ten boats were able to cross
Afterwards, in the clear moonlight,
when the guns were waiting for am
munition and the dust curtain had
lifted. the conditions Of the preceding
night were re-established. Succeeding
crossing parties were exterminated,

CONTRACT FOR
POWER FOR THE
BESAW PLAN 7.
INVOLVES $4,000
Engineers of Local Power Company
Made Careful Study Of Des MOines,
and Hartyille, Ohio. Plants Of the
BeSaw Company.

Here il an item of news that Is sig-
nificant at this time, affording ample
proof Of the stability OF one Of Ard
more's newest manufacturing enter
prises and also the ability Of Ardmore
to not only furnish the proper site and
transportation facilities but a power
rate which puts it ahead Of other cities
when industries are seeking location.
The Consumers Light & Power COM
pany this morning closed a contract
with the BeSaw Tire & Manufacturing
company for the installation OF all the
power and equipment to be used In its
new plant, to be erected in North Ard
more, in time to house the machinery
and equipment which is now being es-
pecially made for the Ardmore plant.
This contract amounts to more than
500 900 and, as il has been agreed upon
for some time, the work of getting out
the necessary materials for this install
lation has been under way for a con-
siderable period. These two points
when considered together not only in
dicate that the tire plant will be Of
some considerable size, but the Con-
sumers company has every confidence
its location in Ardmore.
Engineers of the electric company
have been making a careful study Of
the needs and requirements of the tire
company for several months, visiting
plant at Des Moines, with which Mr..
BeSaw is associated, and also the plant
of the company at Hartville, Ohio,
which is the property of the company
that is building the Ardmore factory
They found everything at both plants
just as stated by Mr.. BeSaw and they
had no hesitancy in recommending to
their company that the contract for the
installation be made.
The placing of this contract was in
competition with others and the rate
given is such as assures Ardmore an
advantage in this direction. What is
true of the BeSaw plant, in the Cham
Der of Commerce Industrial Addition,
is true of all other plants that have
been secured and will establish beyond
doubt the desirability of North Ard
more as a location for all sorts of in
dustrial enterprises.
