WAR USES FOR FACTORIES
Manufacturers Surprised to Find What
Can Be Made In Their Plants In
Case Of Emergency.

Here is paragraph, shipped out OF
an article by George Creel in Every
body's Magazine which shows the war
uses to which various peaceful manu-
factories can be subjected:
"a manufacturing jeweler was sur
prised to learn that his plant, with
few changes, could turn out peri
scopes; sash-chain maker found
that his machines were adapted
to the production Of cartridge clips
for rifles and machine guns; a phono-
graph concern was discovered TO be
well fitted for the manufacture Of GER
tain delicate shell parts; makers OF
underwear may be relied on for ban
dages; a manufacturer of music-rOlls
for gauges cream-separator plant for
shell-primers; a sewing machine com
pany for gaines; recording and com
putting machine plant for fuses; an
Infants food concern for shell plugs;
drug manufacturers and dye works for
high explosives; finished shells may be
expected from candle-makers, -four
mllers, tobacco manufacturers, and
siphon-makers: sllversmiths can make
cartridge-cases, bullet jackets, and
caps; while shrapnel can he made In
gas engine works, car factories, cleo
trio elevator works, locomotive works,
stove foundries and machine shops"

whether n cigarette could be smoked

the "pros" agreed that halt was

Military Etiquette Observed.
The captain Of the center, who was
conducting the New York Suns corre-
spOndent to see the convoy at practical
work, passed by the drivers several
times, and this brought up the question
whether he should be saluted every
time or treated as being on duty with
them, when the first salute at meeting
would suffice.
But there was a deeper question that
each was eager to discuss. Were they
doing the best they could for their
own country and for France? Should
they be where they were, or ought
they to be In their own country oner-
ing 1t their services directly? They all
had served with the American ambu-
lance sections at the front, and have
all succeeded In becoming heads of sec
tions. This experience has taught
them a useful knowledge of the French
language. Several have lived years
in France and know the language thor
oughly. 1t has taught them much about
The French army and trench warfare,
and given them already valuable
training. They wonder whether they
are using this training to the best al
vantage, or whether they ought to be
at home, where armies are forming
and men with their qualities are being
needed. Meanwhile they are working
hard and acquiring further training
which will assuredly make them valu-
able officers for the first American
troops to take the field in France.

Meaux to become transport officers, is

like AMERICAN APPLE
Brazil and Argentina Buy Fruit
From United States.
Increase In Trade Began BeIUre War
But Cutting of Of Competition
Has Also Helped Business.

Brazil and Argentina together now
take $4,000 barrels Of American apples
and $4,000 boxes Of American pears
each year, and the trade IS growing
steadily, says report on South Amer
ican markets for fresh fruits just is
sued by Uncle Sans bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce. Trade
in other fruits is less important, but
since the war started American prod
ucts have had the market to them.
selves so far as outside competition is
concerned and have made a very good
impression.
In both Brazil and Argentina the
American apple is supreme in the high
class trade, as it is in all parts of the
world, and its sale is limited only by
the number of people whe are able to
pay the rather high prices asked for
1t. The American pear is especially
well liked in Brazil and sells well,
also, in Argentina. The Brazil ap.
pies and pears appeal to consumers
in much the same manner that trOp-
ical fruits appeal to Americans, but
in Argentina, where the climate in the
main closely resembles that of the
United States, American fruits of this
description sell for two entirely diff
ferent reasons, first because they come
during the off season for the native
and New Zealand fruit, and second
because of their unquestioned quality.
Walter Fischer, author Of the bu.
reau's report, states that practically
all Of this trade dates from 1910, the
greatest increase occurring in 1914,
so that the war had nothing to do
with it's early growth. Since the war
started shipments from Europe have
been largely cut off, and purchases
from the United States have increased
accordingly. Competition with the
cheaper and lower-grade european
fruit will become as keen as ever prob
ably when the war is over, but the
American shipper need have little fear
for his fancy apple and pear trade, 1t
is declared.
The west coast of South America is
not so good a market for foreign
fresh fruits as Brazil and Argentina,
but the author states that more busi-
ness can be obtained if careful atten-
tion is given the subject.

American Flag on the Gate.
The officers in charge of the auto
mobile instruction center at Meaux
(there are other schools for drivers,
mechanics, etc., from Colonel Borsch-
mex down, are all keenly interested in
the coming of the Americans, and the
colonel spoke highly Of the serious way
they had settled down to work. The
gate into the camp of 10 barrack
sheds has an American flag on one
post and French one on the other.
When the New York Suns corre-
spOndent visited the school recently,
the convoy was sent to the village of
Crecy, where all the trucks were to
be parked in the market place (drawn
up side by side, close together, at an
angle to the main road so that they
could be started off again without de-
lay). The little village seemed sad
and deserted as the convoy arrived,
as do most French villages these days,
with nothing but aged men, women
and children at home. But it woke up
as the trucks numbered in and took
up their appointed places.
"Are they English" asked a woman
who appeared at her shop door.

With the Fingers!
Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of a corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
will apply on the corn a few drops Of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
At little cost one can get a small bot
tie of freezone at any drug store, which
will positively rid ones feet of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
ness or the danger of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound,
and dries the moment it is applied and
does not infame or even irritate the
surrounding skin. Just think! You
can lift off your corns and calluses
now without a bit Of pain or soreness.

LARGE AREA is IRRIGATED
Uncle Sam Now Furnishes Water for
Raising of Crops on at Least
100000 Acres, It Is Estimated.

Secretary Lane of the department
Of interior announces that the 1916
census of the government reclamation
projects shows an irrigable area Of
land within these projects of 1896
600 acres. OF this acreage water was
actually furnished to and crops har.
vested on 925,S00 acres. The value of
the crops was approximately $685.
100000, or an average of $3S.25 per
acre cropped. The value Of the crops
as shown by the preceding years CEN
sus was $19,OO0O00, or an average Of
$24 per acre cropped.
In addition to this, Uncle Sans
reclamation projects also furnish wa.
ter to outlying areas served by private
canals. 1t is estimated that altogeth-
er the government projects are now
furnishing water actually used on at
least 100000 acres.

UNREST GROWING AMONG GERMANS

time limit for bringing Great Britain
into a frame of mind to- discuss peace.
In the correspondents last informal
conversation with DIR. Alfred thinner
mann, head of the foreign office, few
hours before news of the rupture of
relations with the United States was
received in Berlin, the minister, who
was on tenterhooks to know what the
United States would do, declared i'm
pulsively:
"If the United States will only keep
hands off and let US alone, two or
three months will be enough"
Then, noticing the correspondent
prick up his ears at the foreign office
use of the stock phrase of the ruth
lessness advocates, he quickly amend
ed his estimate.
"Say six months" he said, and then
reading a further query In the corre-
spOndent's eyes, added:
"Well, let us not fix any definite
time"
Doctor Zimmerman then went on
with the argument that England and
the entente quickly would be made
amenable to the peace idea If the
United States would only refrain from
breaking relations or declaring war in
consequence Of the proclamation Of
the unrestricted submarine campaign.
German naval writers for some time
have been preparing their readers for
a possible falling off in the monthly
figures of tonnage destroyed by sub
marines. Many of them furnish the
advance explanation that, If 1t hap
pens, it will be due largely to the abb
sence of vessels to torpedo, or, in some
articles, to the results of British meth
DDS. No mention of any increase in
losses of submarines is made.

As U-Boat Toll Decreases the
People Show Signs of
Dissatisfaction.
GLOWING PROMISES FAIL
England Shows No Signs of Weaken
ing, but Seems More Determined
to Prosecute War More Bit
terly. Than Ever.

penhagen.-Private advices from
Germany tell of growing dissatisfac-
ton among the people at large with
the political results of the ruthless
submarine campaign and the absence
of any indications that it has brought
the desired peace near to hand.
During their long campaign for the
unrestricted use of submarines the ad-
vocates of the measure made very def
mite promises of immediate results.
"Two or three months" was the phrase
used everywhere in street and news
paper arguments in regard to the time
it would take to bring England to her
knees, ready for peace. Even though
the official propaganda since has de-
cIared the government bound itself to
no particular time to produce results,
the prediction that they would be OBJ
tanned in two or three months has re-
mained in the minds Of the people.
Grumblings are now heard that, al
though four months have passed, Eng
land shows no signs Of weakening, but,
on the contrary, seems determined to
prosecute the war more bitterly than
ever.
Reports of France Discredlted.
Statements that France has been
''bled white" and will be forced to re-
tire from the war have been made so
often that they no longer attract the
slightest credence. The entry of the
United States and Brazil into the war
and the rupture of relations between
Germany and the bulk of the neutral
world outside Europe are now taken
seriously and regarded with gloom.
Questions have been recently asked
the correspondent by Germans here,
not In official positions, who are dis
gruntled over the results of the sub
marine campaign up to the present
time, with regard to what would be
the effect in the United States If the
submarine warfare were abandoned.
The government, however, shows no
signs of weakening and is now en-
gagged in vigorous publicity cam
paign to bolster up the waning conf
dence at home and quiet the COM
plants of Deutrals.
It is a matter of knowledge to the
correspondent that at least one men,

fused to commit himself to any definite
