Paris Digging In
to Avoid Air Bombs

Paris, May 2-Parisians are "dig-
ging in to avoid the bombs of the
German air-raiders. Trench shell
ters, it is announced, will be con-
structed along the Champs Elysees,
in the Bois de Boulogne, in the Bots
de Vincennes and in all the public
squares.
These are intended as refugees for
persons in quarters where strongly
vaulted cellars are not accessible.
Their construction will give the pco-
pie of the French capital more than
ever the conviction that Paris is now
part Of the heroic front.
More than 800 cellars already are
in use as places of refuge during air
raids and the authorities have given
their approval of them as safe even
if the houses over them should be
destroyed by airmen's bombs. Some
of these cellars shelter as many as 100
persons. Many of them are connected
with another cellar by a passage so as
to afford an exit if flooded by broken
water pipes or filled with gas from
broken gas mains.
Some are equipped with tools for
repairing broken pipes.

'RIvETING GANG
AT FORE RIVER
BREAK RECORDS

Quincy, Mass, May la riveting
gang composed of three Syrians at
Fore River yard of the Bethlehem
Ship Building Co. claimed today to
have broken the world record for riv-
citing, based on the performance of
Charles Mulham, who drove 2,803
three-quarter inch oil tight rivets in
nine consecutive hours last night.
The previous record, the Fore River
Co. said, was 2,720 three quarter inch
shaw rivets, driven in nine hours at
the plant of the Baltimore Dry Dock
and Ship Building Co. Oh tight riv-
citing is much harder than snap"
riveting, for the buEkheads on the
shell of the oil tanker on which the
men were working are put under air
pressure. Mulham averaged more
than five Tivets minute.
The gang earned something like $40
as a result Of the nights work, the
riveter getting so per cent, the holder

Turns Out Million
Rifles Every Year

Birmingham, England, May 2-One
factory making small arms here for
the British fighting men has a ca
pacity approaching a million rifles
and 100000 machine guns yearly. It
employs 10000 men, women and boys.
Many of its arrangements for the well
fare of the workers are attributed to
the fact that the managing director
of this firm is an American, Percy
Martin Of Columbus, Ohio.
The factory has a canteen where
five thousand dinners are served daily
to the men and women workers. The
whole upper floor of one vast build
ing is taken up by this department
and here the men obtain meals Of
meat and vegetables for eighteen
cents, a remarkable figure when the
present prices in England are taken
into consideration, while for another
three cents pudding or fruit may be
obtained. The women, girls and boys,
who are served in separate dining
rooms are charged but twelve cents
for the same meal. The health of the
workers is one of the first considera-
tons

Women's Auxiliary
Makes Good Record

London, May 2-The woman's
Army Auxiliary Corps generally
known as the ''Waac's," has done
good work in the recent heavy fight
ing zone in France and has received
special mention from the authorities.
One party which had been employ
ed at an army school within the area
of operations was offered transport
to convey them back to a safer local
ity. They refused on the ground that
it would probably be wanted for some
thing more important. They then
marched fifteen miles to the place to
which they had been ordered. Be
fore leaving, however, they remained
in a dangerous position feeding relays
of tired and hungry officers and men,
and assisting in every possible way.
The War Office statements says that
all reports show, during the crisis
they have more than justified their
existence and maintained the credit of
their sex and of the army to which
they belong.

HARTFORD MAN
SENTENCED TO
JAIL FOR G MOS,

Greenwich, May by conviction
of Edward Harrington of Hartford
for assault on Carl Gustavson of that
city, in the borough court here to-
day, and imposition of Jail sentence
of sick months, the police believe they
have cleared up a highway robbery
in the Round He'll section.
Harrington Gustavson made COM
plant yesterday of the robbery. The
latter had bad scalp wound.
The two men were returning from
Long Island City with four autom y
biles coupled in pairs, Harrington,

other. While passing through Fifth

The chauffeurs consented to take the
strangers on to Greenwich by way
of Round Hill. On the hill, Gus
lawson was stopped when one of the
men riding with him drew a revolver.
The others bound Gustavson and
dubbed him. Yesterday both Gus
lawson and Harrington were found
on the roadside by Paul Ferris, town
official. One machine was taken by
the strangers. This was later re-
covered in White Plains. Harring-
ton was not hurt and the police Ques-
toned him to get at the facts and
they decided that Harrington had a
part in the assault on Gustavson. NJ

WILL RAISE AS
MANY MILLIONS
AS WAR DEMANDS
Daniels Declares u. S. Will
Get AS Many Men AS
Victory Demands.
rs MISTAKE TO LIMIT
NUMBER OF SOLDIERS
Workers Share in Fight AS
Important AS Man in the
Trenches, Says Sec.

Philadelphia, May 2-As many mil
war will be sent to the battle front,
Secretary Daniels declared today in
an address to the Philadelphia
Chamber of Commerce in behalf, of
the Third Liberty Loan.
Let as not think in terms of fixed
numbers" said the secretary "Con-
gress has provided the selective draft
and when there are enough ships all
these men will be on the. fields of
France. If there are not enough men
between 81 and 81 to win the war,
the age limit will be changed and
men of 40 and SO, if need be, will
respond to the colors."
The secretary indicated that he re-
garded it as a great mistake to fix
the number of the army at 5000, 900
as had been suggested, because the
world would take that as the limit of
what America could do. This, he said,
was far from the spirit of the gov
eminent, which was in the war to the
full extent of the resources and man
power of America.
Earlier in the day Secretary Dan
iels, speaking to employees of the
League Island navy yard, asserted
that the kaiser's greatest disappoint-
ment was the failure of German spies
and German propaganda to stir up la
Dor trouble in the United States.
Labor in the United States under
stands" continued the secretary, and
understands perhaps better than any
body else that it depends for it's life
and progress and future victories
upon overcoming the German autoc-
racy in this war.
And labor is challenging German
treachery and German money so sue
cessfully that today in most industries
labor is turning out more war NUM-
tons and supplies than ships can
transport across the water"
He also emphasized to the men
that workers share in the fight was
equal to that Of the man in the
trenches or at sea, and he praised the
navy yard employees for their devo-
ton to duty.

CENTRIST WILL
FAVOR SUFFRAGE

Amsterdam, May In the discus
sion of the Prussian reform bill in the
Prussian lower house Tuesday, Herr
Won Heydebrand, Conservative, de-
clared that if equal suffrage, if the
government proposed, was introduce
ed, the character of the lower house
would be changed and it would not
be possible longer to maintain the
Prussian state as it is.
The unrest among the people ought
not to last much longer and an
agreement was quite possible, said
Herr Friedberg, vice president Of the
Prussian ministry. Herr Porsch, a
Centrist, said that a small section of
the Centrist party would vote against
the bill, but the majority would sup
port it.

HUNS SEEK TO
DISRUPT ALLIES
WITH INTRIGUE
Serbia Given Promises of
Self Government If She
Would Desert Entente.

Corfu, May SERBIA remains faith
full to the cause of the Entente allies
despite the German intrigue and an
offer of the German government to
conclude peace, declared Premier
Pashitch today in declaration OF
Serbia's foreign policy" read at the
opening here of the Serbian parlia-
ment.
More than year ago, Mr.. Pashitch
said, Germany was beginning to see
the impossibility of defeating her enc
mics by military force alone, and to
see that she must have recourse 20
other means She then decided to
make the most energetic use of clan
destine channels to disorganize as
speedily as possible the power and
cohesion of her enemy. She carried
on intrigue, employing different
methods according to the countries
for which she intended them.
"Au these intrigues were clothed
in the language and expressed hu-
manitarian ideals by means of which
the enemy was spreading monarchis-
tic ideas in republics and republican
ideas in monarchies, recommending
in democratic countries military re-
gime and in autocracies democratic,
republican or anarchistic ideas. All
this had only one object, to provoke
internal disorders and discord be-
tween the Allies.
I'm all Allied countries the effect
of these secret Vaccinations have
been felt, but nowhere have they sue
ceeded as we'll as in Russia. Judg-
ing from effects, it is impossible to
deny that the Russian Revolution has
been tainted by German, influence and
has only been useful up to the pres
ent, to Germany.
Austria Hungary recently has in.
tensified her intrigue and calumnies
against the Serbian people, and
against King Peter and the Serbian
government. She has but one object,
to shake the faith of the Allies in Ser
bia, to destroy the national unity, and
by means of our ,dissensions, to in
sure the conquest Of Serbia.
But our people know Austria
Hunary too well to lend themselves
to believe these lying words. The
SerD1an people remains 1a1LnIu1. 1t
has given up all that 1t had and could
have. At present, with the little force
that remains to it, it can only stay
faithfully at the side of the Allies,
never forgetting that Austria-Hun-
gary provoked this war with the OBJ
5ect of destroying Serbia
THE appearance of America in the
theatre of war has filed up the gap
caused by the Russian withdrawal, and
the armed forces of our Allies are
more considerable than those of the
enemy as regards both men and ma
terial. Their organization has been
improved and there is complete agree
ment on all questions The Serbian
people can therefore be certain that
its sacrifice will not be in vain and
that its ideals will be realized if it
contiues to i've in the future tokens
of its military and civic virtues and
if it remains safe, as hitherto, from
intriues which aim at destroying its
oncord and unity in the defense OF
the interests of our people"
