WORLDS GREATEST WORKSHOP

Some idea can be obtained of the enorrnity of the industry now carried on in the Ohio district, which is exclusively occupied in making for the government supplies and material for the army and the navy, if there be some detailed state ment which will set forth the number of meetings which have been held in several of the larger cities of Ohio since the latter part of July In Cincinnati

OHIO CENTER OF
 NATIONS INDUSTRY
By HOLLAND

New York, October 7.--(Specal,) ,)-To- day there are 376 direct contracts in ef- feet which have been entered into by the Emergency Fleet corporation and industrial corporations in the Ohio dis trict which are engaged exclusively in war work. But in addition to these di- rect contracts there are a large num- Der of subcontracts, such, for instance, as those which the American Interna- tional corporation represents. There are in the city of Hamilton large number of subcontracts, these calling for the supplying of the industries with needed complete their work.
 The Ohio district is perhaps the greatest industrial district in the United States now engaged in war work It in cludes Pittsburg Wheeling, Niagara Falls and all of Ohio. The magnitude of this unsurpassed workshop, almost all of it created within year and a half, and all of 1t producing materials which the government needs in order to carry on the war, justifies this statement that today the Ohio district is probably the greatest industrial center in the world, surpassing even any industrial center in Germany.
 In eleven weeks S67 meetings almost all of them at the noon hour, have been held in war work industrial plants and the aggregate attendance at these meet ings was somewhat in excess of 100000 The average attendance, therefore, at each of these meetings was little under 1000. There were some duplicates. but for the most part these meetings at which the industrial workers were addressed under the authority of the Emergency Fleet corporation, represented each of them an individual plant. Yet the whole of the Ohio district has not yet been covered by those who, under the direc- tion of the Emergency Fleet corpora tion, are making daily addresses to these skilled artisans, wonderfully skilled, many of them, in view of the fact that q year and a half ago few of them had more than an apprentice knowledge or the work which they were expected to do WORLDS GREATEST WORKSHOP

WITH THE AMERICANS, June 13.-Excellent artillery fire is largely responsible for the capture by the American Marines of 400 German prisoners in the fighting which re- suited in clearing the BeIleau Wood of the Germans.

 A Major and four lieutenants were among the prisoners taken. They were poorly clad and glad to be captured. Many of them want to como to the United States to live after the war is over. They sald Germany plans to end the war by next Fall

 'Finlanders have been enquiring ct this office as to their status, now that the greater part of their coun- try is overrun by German armies, and query was sent to Washing ton for information. The reply stat ed that Finlanders even those from that part of the country now occu pied, were not to be classed as alien enemies as yet and they would be allowed to fish and pursue their vo cations and follow their custo;ds oi daily life as formerly" said Mr Reagan.
 The question came up originally over the rights of Finlanders to fish German alien enemies are not allowed to fish in any waters of tte Urited States, but Austrian alien enemies are allowed to fish in Alaskan waters So far the only ones not allowed tC fish are the German. alien enemies.
