A GROWING INDUSTRY.

AIter the lean years, WhlCl
have been entirely too numerous
it is a matter Of very general sat
lsfaction to learn that our new in
dnstries, established by oul
younger and new men, are pro
crossing steadily and developing
into institutions of first magni
tude. Some years ago the small
woodworking plant of Edgar p.
tolse, located on his home lot
was started more with view OF
providing its founder with a
means of employing his time prof
itably when the big mill, where
he was one Of its regular employ
eos, would be shut down in his do
partment from whatever cause.
This small plant grew, adding
machine after machine, until it
represented such aD Investment as
really justified an effort to keep it
constantly employed.
Mr., Folse was a finished work
man when he started bis own
plant. The most promising field
then open to him was in the max
ing of bottle cases and egg boxes.

reputation seemed to follow each
individual case through all of it's
joarnies through all of his life
time. As a consequence more
workmen had to be added to the
regular pay roll, and more ma
chimes had to be added to the
shop. The more machines de
manded more power. More floor
space had TO fOllOw--in fact, the
industry was growing.
The growing process continued
with such even pace that Mr..
Folse found that he would be able
to accomplish the best results If
he could divorce himself from the
Office work and devote himself en-
''rely to the handling of the plant,
It's machines, and the force of
w0rkmen. As q result Mr.. Sidney
PatOnt became associated in inter. |
est with the new firm of T.. =,
Folse Manufacturing Go.
This last week the firm com
pleted a contract of building the

being erected by contractor Eu

carry but two panes of glass,
while others carry as many as 112
paDes to the pair. Some Of the
traDsoms have dimensions Of "a

with large and heavy plate glass.

Among the newly discovered in

Jeus Converted to
Christianity Under Car
Returning to Judaism

Several hundred Jews who have been
converted to Christianity under the old
regime have returned to Judaism" says
a cablegram from Petrograd to the
Jewish Daily Forward"
Tens Of thousands of Jews under the
Cars rule became Christians to escape
the governments prosecutions. Many
young and ambitious Jews, upon finding
entrance into the universities barred
or residence in the capital prohibited
for them, adopted Christianity TO be
able to continue their careers. Some OF
the converts rose to high positions in
the old government.
The Jews of Russia loathed such con-
verts. II was forbidden to come in con-
tact or to have any business with them.
Perhaps the most notorious of all such
converts, hated by Jew and Gentle
alike, was Gurland, who was a nephew
of famous rabbi. Gurliand was one
of the chief press agents of the Gar.
He elaborated with Sturmer and
other reactionaries in the spreading of
pernicious literature calculated TO in
cite the populace 70 clamor for peace.

Between s o'clock in the morning and

Golst, who figured in the Welland Canal
conspiracy. when he turned states evil
dence against Captain Hans Tauscher.
Marshal Mccarthy would make no COM
ment on the possibility Of permit
being issued to Won der Golst, but
advised him to apply like any other
enemy alien. Another applicant was
Karl Jorn, the tenor, who stood in line
for more than an hour to apply for a
pass.
Enemy aliens without employment

Protest Censoring
OF Business Cables
Exporting Company Declares
Officials Delete Straight
Commercial Messages

According to a statement issued yes
terday by CASTOR. Williams & Wig
more, a large exporting firm, many
concerns are protesting against the ex-
treme censorship which, it is said, is
being exercised over their straight
commercial messages.
"Only such codes as have been ap
proved by the government are used,
says the statement, "yet, despite this
fact, messages are refused transmits
sion. This is very serious handicap
to these houses and delays shipments
which would bring millions Of dollars
into this country"
There has also been considerable
delay in the delivery of messages COM
ing from other countries, according to
William H. Williams, vice president of
the company. Heretofore we have
received four cables daily, on the aver
age, from our representatives in
Japan" Mr.. Williams said, but no
cable was permitted to come through
from that country from the 2lst of
this month until late this afternoon,
when we received a number Of them.
Cables from our South American rep
resentatives have been similarly de-
layed. Moreover, there has been de-
leted from each cable the rotation
number-that is, the number by which
We identify the sequence of the cables
AS illustrating the effort of such de-
lays on the concerns business. Mr..
Williams cited a case in which a for
eign company had made inquiry for a
large quantity of a certain commodity
for which his company had quoted by
cable a price of 100000. Acceptance
of the offer was cabled some days ago,
but was not received until yesterday
afternoon. Meanwhile conditions have
changed, and it may not be possible
for the company to supply the goods at
the agreed price.

Ouakers Pledge
Aid to Country
AT Joint Meeting
Express Appreciation of Gov.
ernment's Exemption
Of Friends

The Joint meetings of the orthodox
and liberal factions of the Religious
Society of Friends met last night at
the Friends Meeting House, 144 East
goth Street. and adopted resolutions
expressing their appreciation of the
governments exemption of conscien-
tious directors from the draft and
Offering their services TO the nation.
Last nights gathering was historic
in Quaker annals. 1t was the first time
since 1928 that the liberal and ortho-
dox divisions of the body have held
a Joint meeting. In the above year
the Quakers in America split on the
question Of the divinity of Christ, the
orthodox members holding firmly 10
the doctrine Of the Trinity. The lib
erals have since drifted toward Uni
tarianism. Yesterday the breach was
healed. at least temporarily, on the
plea that Quakers can preach peace
and love to the world only by Deins
at peace among themselves.
When the resolution of thanks to
the government was first drafted ell
forts were made TO include an express
sion of regret that the government had
not extended the principle OF eXemp-
ton to other conscientious directors
This was finally ruled out and the reso-
buttons as adopted follow:
"The New York yearly meetings OF
the religious Society of Friends place
upon record their appreciation of the
recognition of religious convictions by
the national Congress in exemptlng
from military service the members OF
our society. And our further recognl-
ton that this action places upon US
serious responsibility to see that no
improper use is made of this exemp-
ton.
eve realize that the recent discus
sion of the Christian ideals of war and
peace has drawn toward us many
earnest souls who may through this
approach come to a full understanding
of our principles and bring to us fresh
strength and courage. We therefore
recommend that monthly meetings ex'
ercise unusual care and sympathetic
encouragement in such cases.
1--WE are united in expressing our love
for our country and our desire to serve
her Loyalty. We offer our service TO
the government of the United States in
any constructive work in which we can
conscientiously serve

Still greater revolutionary enthusi-
asm, real or feigned, has been dis
played in Kiev's celebrated Pestchera

repose the bones of hundreds Of saints
Of the Orthodox Church. This monas-

agitation in which it took an
active part for the prosecution OF the

and committee of monks has been

At Kazan, in East Russia, a commit
