Somewhere in New Jersey.-The
largest shell-loading plant in the
world is located at this point, which
is within one hour by rail from New
York. With only three of its thirteen
separate and distinct loading units IN
operation "a hours day approx
mately 5000 shells, the bulk OF them
for 155-milimeter French guns, are
turned out daily and started for
France. On this basis $4,000 shells
would be loaded every "a hours with
all units in full operation. The num-
Der will be considerably less, however,
since all sizes of shells are to be load
ed here. and the eight-inch and larger
gun shells necessarily require more
time for loading than the new 81
nilimeter, the popular 75-mlllmeter,
the 155-milimeter or the Az shells.
Uncle Sam figures on a minimum out
rut of $4,000 shells loaded daily, which
would give this plant a capacity or
about 100000 every 80 days, or close
TO 20, 100000 a year. This is only one
of four huge Government shell-loading
plants. All three of the others will be
larger than any other known plants of
the same kind Together they will
have daily capacity of 100000 75-mil-
imeter, $4,000 155-milimeter, $4,000
eight-inch and larger shells, while two
of them in addition will load $4,000
At shells and many BIS will be loaded.
The aggregate of these figures is
$4,000 shells loaded daily in the four
plants, or 100000 every 80 days. To
this should be added $4,000 shrapnel
shells now being loaded every day by
five private plants for the Govern
ment, divided between the Is and 155

tional 2,250OO0 every 80 days, giving

Paris.-The number of prisoners ta-
ken so far in the allied offensive IN
Picardy now is estimated at $4,000,
including more than 1000 officers.
More than 500 guns have been cap
tured, according to the latest advices.
The pivot of the German resistance
at this stage of the battle, it now APP
pears. Is the town of Noyon, about mid
way between Montdidier and SCISSORS.
The enemy is throwing in reserves
from this base in an effort to prevent
regardless of cost, the allies from gain
ing control of the Noyon-Ham road
which is choked with material, guns
and troops.
The Germans are expected to make
a desperate stand on the Reye-Noyon
line to permit the columns which are
retreat:ng in the direction of Nesle
and Ham to reach safety.
Chaulnes. the important railway
town in the heart of the Somme battle
front and the key to the southern line
of the German salient, has been cap

ment of 500 Step Toward curtail-
ment Of Steel.

Washington.-Man OF pas.
senger automobiles were advised by
the War Industries Board to convert
their plants to 100 per cent war work
as rapidly as possible and to place
them on that basis not later than Jan,
/ 1919, in letter addressed to the
National Automobile Chamber OF Com
merce. In no other way, the letter
stated, could they be assured OF the
continuance of their industry or the
preservation of their organizations
The letter was in response to a pro-
posal made by Hugh Chalmers, on the
part of the manufacturers, voluntarily
to curtail the passenger car industry
SO per cent. The War Industries Board
declared that the present situation re-
garding steel and other materials
needed for war work gave little assur-
ance of material required for the man
ufacture of passenger automobiles,
even after providing for war require
ments.
Pending receipt by the board OF
sworn inventories of materials on hand
requested last July 16, no materials
will be permitted passenger car man
ufacturers, the letter stated. The
letter in part follows:
1--WE are in receipt of and have
given very careful consideration to
your communication Of August s, EN-
bodying the resolutions passed at your
meeting at Detroit, Tuesday, August
g. We note that the manufacturers
have voluntarily agreed among them
selves to curtail the production OF pas
senger cars SO per cent. While this
is clearly step in the right direction
and furnishes a basis for each and all
of the manufacturers without further
delay to make appropriate reductions
in selling, general and overhead ex-
penses, still it is only a step, and fur
Their curtailment is inevitable. Fair
ness to your industry impels us to
frankly state that the situation as II
is presented to us today indicates very
clearly that there will be little, if any
of the principal materials required in
the construction of passenger cars
available for non-war industries after
the war requirements shall have been
provided for"

No Sale of Liquor on Railroad Trains,

.Washington.-Sale of liquor in rail-
road stations or on railroad trains was
forbidden by Director General McAdoo
in an order effective Immediately and
applying to all lines under Govern
ment control. Inasmuch as the sale OF
LIQUOR on trains or at stations already
had been abolished in many states by
law or by voluntary action OF most
railroad companies, the order is not
expected to actually curtail liquor
sales to any great extent. The regu-
lation will not apply to hotels owned
and operated by railroads, since these
have not been taken over by the Gov
eminent.
