SAYS RISK IS EXAGGERATED
Official of Explosive Factory Denies That Occupation Is as Danger
 ous as Is Generally Believed.

In a paper read before a medical association in the east, Dr. w. G. Hud- son, medical director of E. I. DuPont de N'emours & Co.,, manufacturers of explosives, recently made some in- teresting statements concerning the risks connected with the manufacture of powerful explosives. He asserted that the dangers of that industry were greatly exaggerated. As a matter or fact, railroading shows much higher injury and death rates than the manu- facture of explosives. Of the accl- dents which occur in explosive fac tories only small percentage are ac- tually caused by explosives. Four flfths of the accidents are due to care lessness or negligence of employees who disregard the precautions neces- sary wherever men are working with tools and machinery. By increasing the share of work done by machinery and reducing the number of workers in proportion to the increased use or mechanical appliances, the manufac- turers of explosives are striving to diminish the hazards connected with their business, says Popular Science Monthly.

Movies in the War.

On the fast cruisers that convey the troop ships across the sea, the Y. M c. A. movies are in many cases the only recreation the sailors have. Owing to the need of caution about showing lights. and owing to the fact that coal fills most of the space in the ship, these shows have to be given below decks in highly restricted quarters. Now and then it happens that the sailor who secures even standing room has to fight for the privilege.
 In government circles the story is told of bad labor situation which the movies remedied. At certain point in Chesapeake Bay, windswept and cheerless, it was impossible to keep a sufficient force of stevedores on the job until naval "Y" man came along with tent and movie camera.
 In the transport service the Y. M. c. A. is using 750,0OO feet of film. and 5OO0OO feet have recently been select ed for use with the American forces in France. In choosing the films to be sent abroad, the viewers worked 36 hours at stretch and examined ap- proximately 100000 feet of film in order to find one-quarter of that amount that was both free from French rights and fit to be exhibited before American youngsters.

s.roe Whistle Calls Birds

A striking example of wildbird in- telligence has been observed on the Panama canal in connection with the underwater blasting that is carried on there. A barge has been especially equipped for drilling blast holes below the water and depositing charges Tn them. When blast is ready the craft moves off to a safe distance, and De- fore setting off the dynamite the barge whistle is blown several times to warn all vessels in the vicinity. Instantly numbers of wild birds may be seen coming from all directions, says Popu- lar Mechanics Magazine, the reason bsings. they have learped that many deAd yand stunned hsh rise tosthe sur facs of stbeswater2 following each sex- plosion. To them this particular whistle is like assdinner gong More remarkable ystill, they readily distin' guish between this whistle and others Canalsworkmen and nshves slso shase ip in harrs1t.

NAVY EVER ON THE ALERT
Case of CareIessness at Sea Is a Thna That Commanders Punish With
 Necessary Severity.

With not light showing the trans ports plowed the Atlantic, bringing American soldiers to France, writes a naval officer in the Saturday Evening Post. Lookouts high and low, under navy discipline, searched the seas for hostile periscopes. The convoy, the apex of which was big cruiser, was invisible in the black night. The wig ilance of the navy training protected the soldiers, sleeping with their life belts on.
 Suddenly out shot q bright light on the leading transport; merchant sail or, one Jesus Fernandez Mendoza, a Spanish fireman, flashed an electric torch, fumbling about the deck. The light could be seen for miles. Instant ly navy lookout reported the occur renee to the navy officer in charge of the ship. A sharp command, scuf. fife on deck, bluejacket kicking the torch overheard stayed the Spaniards desire to fondle an electric flashlight in the submarine zone. Five days sol- itary confinement ended the lesson. Showing light on man-o'-war at night in time of war is a court-martial offense; even lighting a cigarette or having matches. The navy commando CT, in absolute, charge, enforces mill. tary discipline on a merchant vessel carrying troops and punishes the guilty.
 Because of the navy, criminal care- lessness and conduct involving the safety of thousands of men came to naught and a possible catastrophe was averted. The navy was in command.

NEW YORK COTTON
 HITS THE TOP.
New York Cotton.

New York, Aug. 27.-The cotton market not only completed the recov- cry of it's recent losses, but made new high records during todays trading
 Notwithstanding the sensational ex- tent of the advance which carried prices about $7 a bale above last nights closing figures, there was no great activity or excitement but the market was evidently sensitive to buying orders and met few offerings until October sold at $500 or 140 points net higher and 240 points above the low level of yesterday morning.
 That delivery closed at 3445 with the general list closing barely steady at net advance of S5 to 95 points.
 The opening was firm at an ad- vance of 30 to 65 points on the firm cables and the failure of the weather map to show any further rains in in Texas.
 Trade buying was more in evidence than recently, while people who had sold on the recent rains news were evidntly disappointd by the Texas crop advices or the continued absence of southern hedging.
 Covering was stimulated during the morning by the western belt fore cast for clear weather, bullish private crop reports, the favorable war news and talk of better export prospects.
 There was also indications of broad ening wall street interest on the ad- vice.
 This advice met increased releasing.
 The trading seemed in doubt wheth- CT the rains had materially helped crop prospects in the southwest.
 A private crop report making the condition 61.8 was slightly above the figures published yesterday, but in- dicated severe deterioration.

AMERICANS LEADING CLEAN LIVES OVERSEAS
pr. D. A. Polling Says They Are True to Finest Traditions of Americanisms

Boston, April 16.-The American in uniform is living on a higher plane than the American in civil life. This is the conclusion of Dr. Daniel A. Pol ing, associate president and citizen ship superintendent of the United So- ciety Of Christian Endeavor,. who re- turned today after a stay of five weeks with the soldiers of the United States in France.
 The American soldier overseas is true to the finest traditions of Amer iean arms said pr. Polling. "The stories of wholesale drunkenness and vice, which have greatly disturbed the minds of thousands of people who have given their sons to the nation, are not true. The programme of the Amer ican authorities in France is the most comprehensive and aggressive ever at tempted by nation at war to keen her fighting men physically sound and morally fit. The fruits of the pro- gramme are unmistakeable.
 My own investigations, conducted under every condition of army life and in every training camp of any size where American soldiers are gathered together in France, substantiate the | figures of the military authorities
 thich prove that the American in uni form is today living on a higher mor- al plane than the American in ciZfli- an life. My word to the mothers an6 fathers of this country is one of re. assurance and cheer"

Clinton, Mass. April Is. = Tattoo marks and stolen letter played an
 important part in tracing the man be-
 lieved to be Patrick J. Sullivan, ar-
 rested in Meriden. Conn. today, in
 connection with the murder of six
 year-old Stella SoIdi. whose body was found in a brook here on the night of.
 April ,.
 Two days after the murder, state and town police officers found quan-
 tity of groceries, carriage robe and a letter in an abandoned house near the scene of the crime. The letter
 was addressed to kitchen employe at Holy Cross College, who said that
 it had been in pair of trousers stol- en from him by a fellow employe known as Prank Wilson, 4 descrip- ton of 'fWilson" and his tattoo marks tallied with that of Sullivan a for mer resident of this village, who was seen here. it was said the day before the murder A photograph of Sulli- van showing the tattoo marks was ob-' tained at the home of his hrother-in- law here and was sent out by the po- lice with circular offering a reward

confident of the capacity and judgment of General Pershing for the great burden of responsibility he is bear ing.
 Visited Artillery School.
 During his visit to the American sector, Secretary Baker spent some time at an artillery school where the American gunners are being trained. The party witnesses a trial attack on a trench beginning with a machine gun barrage where bullets patted down on the hypothetical enemy po- sition ike rain. running into light howitzer and trench mortar bonn bardment before which ground was torn and twisted by lighter shells, and culminating in salvos from heavy trench mortars aimed at the destruc tion of machine gun nests or local strong points that might checg an ad- vance. When it was over the party explored the bombarded position. They found that the big shells had torn forty feet across and F feet deep wherever they landed.
 Comradeship Between Allies.
 No doubt was left in the visitors mind of the stimulus given French spirit by the arrival of American lighting forces in France. Mir. Baker l was gwen repeated prOol or the arnaz- ling degITe of comradship that has
 sprung up between the American and French soldiers end the Americans and the civil population among whom they move daily. Differences of
 language have not hindered this friendship in the least In trains. or i street cars, in barracks, in rest rooms.
 MT. Baker saw for himself the clleery I greetings and the complete under
 standing between them. Where the I tongue fails, sign language is quick I ly devised. France has taken the Americans to her heart and they are responding in kind.
 When he left for Europe, aIr. Baker ] put the war department routine from l his mind.
 Why Casualty Lists Were Suspended Il The only question on which the sec [ retary exercised his authority as . head of the war department during : his absence related to the publication
 of information concerning the troops in l France and their activities He cahled } instructions that all such information
 should be given out from the head iquarterS of the eXpeditionary forces. MT. Baker went abroad convinced that the publication of casualty lists in the
 form originally used was harmless He
 was quickly convinced, however by l, the wisest military advisers in Europe ] that valuable information could be , furnished in this way to the enemy and 2 it is very evident that General | Pershing's will is to govern here
 after all that is given out about the r activities of the troops in France.
