| 500 Men Needed
To Build New War
Plant in Jersey
Mays Landing To Be Site
of Big Factory to Replace
One Destroyed

Fifteen hundred men arc wanted
within twenty four hours for work in
shell-loading factory at Mays Land
ing, n. J. This is an emer-
gency call from the United States
government, which plans to enlarge at
once the plant ut Mays Landing, in
order to replace the loss from the ex-
plosion at the South Amboy plant.
Men are needed as laborers for
ground clearing and construction Of
dings. 1t is planned to make the
Mays Landing plant the largest in the
country and to rush the work, in order
to make UP for the destruction of
shells and explosives Saturday.
Two trainloads of workmen left yes-
terday afternoon for the new plant.
Before the first of the workers ar
rived 900 soldiers from the nearest
army camps were sent to Mays Land
ing to start the work. The soldiers
will not be released until the full
quota OF civilian workmen has re-
sponded. The governments neccs-
stiles require that the new buildings
must be completed and the machinery
in full working order within thirty
days.
In issuing the call yesterday Henry
D. Sayer, Federal director for New
York of the United States Employ
ment Service. said:
ut is up to the United States En-
ployment Service to find the working
men, and our appeal will be to tie
patriotism of the men as we'll as to
their private interests. They will re-
celve eleven hours pay for ten hours
work-that is $40 day. The gov
ernment will supply adequate housing
accommodations at Atlantic City.

acute and chronic conditions which had
resulted from the polluted air. Some
OF the illness was due to a highly
poisonous volatile gas, called "zein,'

N homes along the drive. Despite the
TACT that the guinea pigs were we'll fed
some of them died, while others we're
shown by blood tests to have become
diseased. 1t was the opinion of other
experts that what happened to the pigs
was happening constantly to humans.
Six Factories Involved.
DR.. Victor l.. King, who made tests,
SAID he found that the chimneys of
fve or six factories along the west
Shore were emitting poisonous fumes.
He thought the nuisance could be
apated II the factories used certain
devices.
Professor John c. Olsen. of the Poly
technic Institute of Brooklyn, told of
experiments made with balloons to
trace the route of the gases from the
Jersey side to New York. Much of
this gas, he said, came from the plant
Of the Corn Products Company.
Dr. O'Sullivan urged haste in SUD-
plying q remedy. He declared that
property affected had deprecated in
value from % to 80 per cent.
But the worst of it is that these
gases are constant menace to the
health OF the whole community" he
SAID. They affect the blood and tissue
and make the victims ready prev to
the Spanish influenza" "
DR.. O'Sullivan said the Corn Prod
ucts Company uses 100000 pounds of
sulphur month.
Others who appeared were William
Fl. Page, attorney for the West End
Society; Louis Il. Newkirk and Paul
w; Webster, consulting chemist.
Frank II. Hall. attorney for the COM
panles, said experiments were being
made with gas and fumc consumers,
which are used in Chicago. Dr.. Biges
declared that the testimony of Dr.
Paclni was "startling" and that Health
Commissioner Copeland should begin
on investigation at once. Another hear.
ing is to be held soon.

Sixteen Varieties of Odors
Fatten the Influenza Germs
Experts Testify at Public Protest Meeting That Poisonous
Jersey Fumes Are Seriously Affecting the
Health of Riverside Residents

Sixteen varieties Of obnoxious odors
and poisonous gases which sweep
across from the New Jersey side of
the Hudson and inundate the River
side district, from Seventy-second
Street to 161st Street. were described
at public protest hearing, held in
the Academy of Medicine, II West
Fortythird Street, yesterday, before
State Health Commissioner Hermann
L. Biggs.
Experts testified that the fumes and
smells we're doing "irreparable injury
to the health of residents in that dis
trict, and that the tissue and blood of
those touched by the odors was so af-
fected as to make them susceptible to
the Spanish influenza.
Twenty guinea pigs. which were put
III homes along Riverside Drive, the
expert testified, suffered from the
odors. Some residents complained that
the smells waited nightly across the
Hudson kept them awake and were
worse than bowling cats" DR.. Will
lam j. O'Sullivan, who represented the
SorpOratloh counsel, SAID the com
bined gases, if properly directed would
asphyxiate an army of Germans.
"They would make the German mus
tard gas seem like altar of roses BY
comparison" said DR.. O'Sullivan.
Odors Are Described
Here are some of the smells de-
scribed:
Pungent sulphur, coming in yellow
ish green haze.
Burning acid.
Sour beer, or fermenting grain.
Scorched oil.
Burnt rubber.
Sewer gas.
Burning garbage.
Eight other varieties of these, cre-
ated by combination of any two or
all Of them.

Wipe Out the

By MARK SWAN
Of Tho Vi9L0ntes

From the lowest, to the Super-lOW-
est, we loathe the obscene Beast who
drowned women and children on I'M
warned vessels-who burned villages.
destroyed Orchards-Outraged women
and bombed hospitals. We ransack the
dictionary and exhaust the vocabulary,
endeavoring to select adjectives which
will fifty describe him, and his works
and finally we sum everything up In
the descriptive word-"Hun."
Now what shameful word is left us
to apply to the men-whO are among
us vet are not of us-whO used the
war as a means of extorting blOated
profits from those whose brothers they
pretend to be?
The Prussian, at least, is an open
enemy. He warned us for 40 years
that he would do what he has done
he has never tried to conceal his bes-
tiality, in fact seems rather proud Of
1t.
The spy, the propagandist|the dy-
namiter who blows up munition works
for all of these there can be found
some shred Of excuse being Prussian,
it was their business to do what fright
full thing they could-and ours to hang
them if we caught them doing it.
No Excuse for Profiteers.
But for the profiteeS, the briber, the
apostle Of the filthy creed, "Get tho
matter hOw-just get 1.-THE men of
our own nation, of our own blood-pre-
tending to be our own kind-hypO-
critically calling us fellow citizens,
while they pick our pockets-there is
no excuse-and there is no apprOpri-
ate adjective-to call them Huns"
would be complimentary.
Here we are, a hundred million Of
us-whO were drawn into a world
nightmare, trying to do our best, to
help: Boosting the Red CrOss-plug-
ging for the Y. M. G. A-and what is
he-the profiteer doing?
Why just lining his greedy pockets
