whether that is for ornament or to make
it burst more destruetively, search me.
Well, as l say, Miss Williams took a
hitch in her overaIls and looked down
that throbbing, hmnming, deafeiing place,
on the oily, grimy women, and took
hitch in my overalls and gazed at Miss
Williams and we both nodded and shouted
at one another above the clamOr:

Now you catch the spirit Miss Williams
has and others like her and you will Ike
working in munitions factory. You gut
the thrill of being a part, even ever so
small and Insignificant a part, of n
great organism that rs doing something
worth while; something history making,
and what are oil and CRIME and noise and
long hours of lifting heavy shells that
leave you too tired for anything but sleepf
l know of no exaltatiOn like that Of
being a part Of worth while machine,
feeling all the parts .hrob in unison with
your efforts; Though doubtless doing a.big
thing alone or leading other men and
women on TO do something great IS more
thrilling. And yet is it any more wonderful
to be the officer leading regiment over
the top than to be one of the priyates
without whom officers would be uselesss
And I don't believe it is half so interest .
ing to direct the affairs Of munitions
factory as it is TO work in one; though Of
course it's less greasy.
Not All Have the Vision.
But alas! all women who go TO take
jobs in munitions factories don't have the
vision. I fell in with group coming

ALLIES TO ACT ON
GERMAN SEA TOLL
Demand for Loans to Allow
Ships to Sail Expected to
Be Made Issue.
Special Despasch to TIE Sun.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 2o.-Vigorous rep
reservations from the allied Powers to
! the neutral countries Of northern Eu-
rope are expected asking that they re-
fuse to recognize the new demand OF
the German Admiralty to the effect that
their shipping may sail the seas I'M
molested only II tribute in the form Of
loans and credits Is given to Germany
are expected to be made in few days
1t was strongly intimated to-day here
that neutral countries which comply
with the German demand will have their
shipping classed as enemy vessels and
that they will he treated as such at sea
by the allied fleets.
The tense situation has been brought
close to the breaking point by the re-
fusal OF the master of a Swedish ship
to convey a cargo from an American
port to South America because some of
the goods were intended for Uruguay
Diplomatic relations between Uruguay
and Germany were broken several
months ago, although war has not yet
been declared.
a similar instance arose last May
and the demand was made on Germany
by Uruguay through Spanish diplo-
matte channels for a statement as to
whether a state of war existed between
the two countries. Germany asserted
then that 1t did not, but the refusal OF
the Kaiser's Government now to give
consent to unmolested shipments from
the United States to Uruguay has again
raised the question Of the belligerency
Of the South American country.
At the time of the hrst controversy
between Uruguay and Germany notice
was served on all of the European neu-
trails by, the Germans that in cases
where the major part Of their merchant
aeets were in the service OF the Allies
they would be treated as enemy ships
by the German Jj-boats. The inability
of the German submarines to convey a
prize 10 a home mort meant OF course
that the merchant ships would be sunk
on sight

SMALL INCREASE
Only Four New Cases Yesterday,
Which Was Smallest of any Day
Thus Far-Four Up to Noon Today.

Another decided slump in the number
of influenza cases is noted in the report
of the number of new quarantine cards
placed Only four cases yesterday were
called to the attention of Health Officer
Henry Tucker, who tackled the official
yellow card on the four homes. which is
the smallest number of homes afflicted
with the disease to be reported in one
day since the outbreak of the epidemic.
Up to | O'Clock today four cases had
been quarantined today in as many
homes.
All the patients at the emergency hos
pital, several of whom are very i'll, re-
main in about the same condition. One
patient was taken there last night and
a baby who had been there about two
weeks was taken to- its home yesterday
1t is expected that one patient will leave
today.

Putney Plant-New Line ACQUIRED.

The Carpenter. organ factory, which
has been idle for practically four years, is
to be. occupied in the near future bv the
[. i. Bradley Corporation and used for
the manufacture of penholders, brush
handles and mechanical toys. Through
the activities of the new industries COM
mittee of the local board of trade an ar
rangement has been effected whereby the
Bradley company takes over the local
plant and win operate it in addition to
It's Putney factory in which the manu-
facture of fiat brush handles will be con-
tinued as heretofore. Irwin C. Bradley,
president of the Bradley corporation.
says that the work of putting the Car
penter plant in shape To operate will
begin Immediately and he hopes to be
employing 100 hands there within wear.
As part of the deal the Bradley cor
poration has bought the tov business of
the Harley Co. of Springfield Mass. and
will begin moving the equipment of that
concern to Brattleboro next week. GEORGE
LaSares, inventor of the TOYS heretofore
made by the Harley Co.. viii come to
Brattleboro as manager of the toy de-
partment of the Bradley factory Thomas
J. LaSares. also of Springfield, viii come
here as sales manager of the toy line.

Mr.. Bradley himself will move frl m
Putney to Brattleboro and the office of
the corporation viii be brought here to-
gether with a considerable amount Of
machinery now used in the Putnev plant.
1t should be understood however. that
there Is no intention on the part of the
Bradley concern to abandon the Pntney
property. 1t viii be continued in the
manufacture of fiat brush handles. en-
ploying all the help that can be procured
there. c. b. Switzer formerly connected
with the Taft mill in West Townshand.
will be the manager of the Putney plant.
The Bradley corporation bought the
Stowell plant in Putney about four years
ago, moving there from Worthington.
Mass. ISinee then its business has been
steadily increasing, and the requirement
of the toy line gives it further opportu-
nifty for expansion.
