the moment plans begin to be adopted

There has been tremendous Increase in

In explanation OF the comparatively
small exports Of manufactures during
the last six months OF 1918 II il said
that the scarcity of ocean tonnage SINCE
the heavy movement OF American troops
to France was inaugurated early in the
spring was largely responsible. Al the
same time there was decided falling
OFF in the shell contracts placed In Can
ada by Great Britain In its issue Of
October 30 the Toronto Globe says
While this situation the scarcity o.;
ocean tornage) has not been eased 70
a great extent the shipment Of war ma
terial to the United States has greatly
swelled the September figures, repre-
sentinR some OF the contracts placed
with Canadian Arms during the la few
months by the American Government
1t is understood that these shipments 20
the United States continued to go for
ward in large amounts throughout Oc-
tober. Notwithstanding anything that
may transpire In Europe they ire likely
to be In evidence also during Novsm-
Der. Along with the crop movement they
furnish the basis for the expectations OF
good export SURPRISES in those months.
1t Is conceivable that developments
might occur overseas which would check
or stop the export OF munitions in the
months following November but II mo
German surrender is deferred TO 1919
the trade will likely retain its Import

PREMATURE ExPU csIoN
 KILLED SCORE OF MINERS
In the Silver Open Pit Iron Mine Near
 Virginia, Mnn.

Virginia. Minn., June 27.-Steam shovel crews tonight began digging into the debris of what was once the Silver Open Pit Iron mine near. here in hope of finding the bodies of more than a score of miners, killed today by the premature explosion of nine tons of dynamite.
 The M. A. Hanne. company, owners of the property, said tonight no ac- curate estimate could be made of the number Of dead. Four hundred and fifty men were working in the mine when the explosion occurred. Fourteen are known to have been killed. one body has been recovered, many are missing and severely injured. The majority of the miners employed at the Silver mine were Austrians and Films
 According to the owners. bolt of Ightning caused the blast. The light ming struck wires connected with dy- namite which had been placed by the shot-fir and the explosion of the blasts detonated boxes of the explo- sive which had not yet been removed safe distance.
 Late tonight three miners had been taken from the pit alive but uncon- scious and five others, who said they were injured but probably not fatally, had been located. An air pipe was driven into the cave where the five were entombed and it was hoped to get them out before morning.

Men Will Meet Today and Hear Report " ~ of Their Business Agent.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, June T.-Between 5000 and 10000 machinists and tool makers were on strike from the vari- ous manufacturing plants engaged in war work in this city today, the orig inal number of union men having been added to by several thousand sympa- thizers As yet there has been no definite action taken by either the strikers or the manufacturers to bring about an agreement
 Whether the men will remain out until their employers have been forced into submission or will rely on the investigation by the war labor policies board and return to work immediately will undoubtedly be decided tomorrow afternoon when they will gather at a mass meeting to hear the report of Samuel Lavit, business agent of the Bridgeport union, who today was in conference with members of the Taft Walsh board Among the large manufacturing plants affected by the strike are the Remington Arms-U. M c. company. the Liberty Ordnance company and the American British company, where thousands of men have quit. All these plants are engaged in the nroduction of vital munitions and ordnance. The manufacturers say that they have no right to accede to the wage demands of the strikers, as their plants are under the jurisdiction of the government.
 The strikers continued their sales of war savings stamps today. there being no disorder or demonstrations

Washington. June 27.-A regiment of troops in General Pershings expe- 1 dit.onary forces has been ordered to Italy, probably as an advance guard Of additional forces to be sent later, to complete the unity on that front of Italians British, French and Ameri-

 Secretary Baker announced today 1 that General Pershing had been in structed to select a regiment now in training in France fer immediate movement to Italy. It will be repiac- ed by regiment to be sent from the United States to fill up the division from which it is drawn.
 The secretary's announcement per mits for the first time publication of the projects that have been under con 1 sideration here and which were dis cussed with General Pershing by ca l ble before a decision to send the first

He asserted such state rights was a part of free government and democracy and expressed grave doubt if the country would benefit under womans votes. "Women are the queen bees of the nation," said he, "and we all pay them deference, all this talk about the shackles on their limbs and their being slaves is tomfoolery and lingo. In my opinion the Constitution of the United States was never meant to be used for sectional or local pur- poses. States have an inherent right to say who of their citizens shall vote and that is the only sane form of gov ernment." The opinion prevails here that in spite of threats by suffrage leaders the issue is dead so far as ac- tion at this session is colcerned and that ii rushed to vote would go down to complete defeat

DEBATE IN SENATE ON
 EXTENSION OF DRAFT AGES
Leaders Hope to Dispose of the Fall
 Amendment Today.

Washington. June D. - Debate on the Fall amen dIile te lion army appropriation bill, provid- ing for extension of the draft ages to 20 and 40 years, was resumed in the senate today but consideration of the measure was so delayed by the fight on the suffrage amendment resolution that vote was not reached. Leaders tonight hoped to dispose of the amend ment and possibly pass the bill tomor- row.
 At the conclusion of the brief dis cusSion today. Senator Fall said he ex- pected that his effort to extend the draft ages would be futile and the general opinion of senators seemed to be that the amendment would be re- jected
 Senators Reed of Missouri, demo- cratic member of the senate military | committee: Senator Lodge of Massa chusetts, and Cummins of Iowa, in urging upon the senate the necessity for immediate extension of the draft ages, challenged the opinion of Secre- i tary Baker and General March, chief l of staff. that the legislation is not needed at this time. The Missouri sem ator. however. said he would bow to the decision of the war department Of l fcials.
 Before we are through with this war we will have to put five to seven million troops in Europe, I think, continued Senator Reed. Bachelors oi thirty to forty should be called before 1 the married men of 2t to 30."
 American newspapers. said the sen tator. t'have handled the war like 3 good political paper handles it's party affairs. adding that the people of the country need to be "boosted up about
 our side of the case"
 | Stories that Austria. is about to fal
 to pieces, that food riots are frequent
 and that the country is about to rebe
 were regarded by Senator Reed as | ''part Of a skilfully laid p1an to lul the world into slothfulness."
 Senator Lodge of Massachusett:
 urged that the draft age limits be ex. tended now. declaring that it would
 eliminate possibility of delay. whicl he asserted had been 'our grea trouble" in the conduct Of the war. Y' opposed lowering the draft limit belov 21 but favored it's extension to A years.

be made direct from the United States.
 While there is good reason to believe
 that the American forces in Italy win
 be augmented considerably later, to-
 days announcement appears to make
 it certain that no direct movement
 from the United States at an early date is planned. It is known, however that the suggestion has been consider ed that the Italian expedition be made entirely independent of General Per shing's forces, although equally under l the direction of General Foch as su- preme commander
 The purpose of sending troops to Italy, MT Baker has explained is more for political than military reasons. It is desired to demonstrate again that tthe allied nations and the United States are one in their purposes on all fronts and to extend the intercourse
 between the troops of all the powers at war with Germany. For this req
 son, there has been no suggestion that
 an American army be sent to Italy, al- 1 though all troops sent will see actual i service at the front associated witf
 Italx or more probably French and
 British forces.
