Its nature. He Is said to have shown
the officers the model Of field wire
less outfit for communication between
points on the battle front.
Owners of the building said that
prior to 1918 Pfund was manager OF
the German wireless company and that
the CORPORATION was the tenant OF the
tower. 1t failed to renew the lease in
1918, however and Pfund took over the
four floors, which he used as an ex-
detrimental laboratory. They said he
had wires strung on two structures OF
ironwork on the roof. which he used as
antenuae, presumably for testing wire
less apparatus.
When the United States entered the
war last April and an order was issued
that all private wireless plants must
be dismantled the owners of the build
ing notified Pfund, they declared. that
the wireless would have to come dow n.
The instructions were obeyed. they as
serted, and the wires had not been re-
placed. The explanation was made
that Pfund had leased the tower be-
cause of the low rental.

that undoubtedly the Germans were
badly in nced OF the platinum but their
intention doubtless also was to keep
the United States and other allies from
obtaining the important metal.
The Germans were said to be paying
any prices asked without haggling.
Competition for platinum among the
nations has become one of the keenest
commercial struggles Of the war. Of
ficials say it is one which affects the
war program most vitality, for without
it munitions and many kinds Of deli
cate electrical instruments essential to
war machinery can not be made. Tanks
are immobile without platinum for con-
tact points Of magnetos and signal in
struments are dumb without the metal.
Supplies of platinum in the United
States amount to between 25,OOO and
10000 ounces, most Of which will be
taken over by the government under
the communicating order issued last
week. While that amount seems suftl-
cient for present needs, the country is
short Of iridium, a constituent metal of
platinum. which it is used to harden.
There is not an ounce Of iridium for
sale in America today. Last sales OF
iridium were made at s1S5 an ounce
and of platinum at 800.
With Russia, the worlds principal
platinum market, closed by German
control the use of platinum for jewelry
is expected to cease after present
stocks in the hands Of manufacturing
jewelers. are exhausted Those stocks
have not been taken over one reason
being that approximately 5000 men in
New York and Newark depend on
platinum work for livelihood.

Interned German prisoners OF war
will be used to build roads in tn S
country according to information re-
ceived from Washington by the Phila-
delphia board Of trade.
For some months the board has been
studying the problem of utilizing the
labor Of German prisoners to make up
for the shortage now existing. Some
| time ago Miers Busch chairman of the
inland transportation committee of the
board. wrote to all Philadelphia repre-
sentatives and the two Pennsylvania
senators asking them to see that mea-
sures were taken to put these men to
work so they should not remain in
comfortable idleness with the country
so short of labor.
| Representative Moore has replied as
| follows:
II took up the question with the war
department and am advised it is the
intention to Use German prisoners o!
war for road building. This has been
approved by the secretary of war. and
plans are now being perfected by the
war college. The question Of using
the prisoners for farm labor in var
ious sections of the country was
brought to the attention of the depart
ment some time ago, but it was not
deemed wise to remove them from
their present camps, as it would neces-
state the building of barracks where
! ever they would be sent.

the camps of prisoners of war, includ-
ing the cost of guards, is carefully

powerful to communicate with Ger

Richard Pfund at one time manager of
the German Telefunken plants at Say
vile, y. Y, and Tuckerton, n. j., was
seized in New York by federal officials
The outfit was found in a room in the
tower of the office building at III
Broadway. While it was disconnected,
it could have been set up in half an
hour. experts say
The raid was made by United States
Marshal Mccarthy, an army intelli-
gence officer, an army wireless expert
and other government agents. They
were refused admission by Pfund, who
occupied the four floors of the tower as
a laboratory. He took the stand that
he was doing experimental work for
the navy and that they had no right to
interfere. He unlocked the door, how
ever when the officers threatened to
break it down.
Pfund is said to have made an eX-
PLANTATION concerning the presence OF
the apparatus in his laboratory, but the
nature Of it has not been disclosed. He
was not taken into custody, altho it is
understood the inquiry has not been
completed. His assertion that he was
doing work for the navy was verified,
but no announcement was made as to

WELCOME IN OUR MIDST

Again there are strangers in our
midst, and strangers to whom
every citizen wishes to extend a
glad hand of welcome. Were the
uniform they wear not sufficient to
guarantee cordiality everywhere,
the record of the first contingent

those who follow them. Newark is
privileged indeed to have the in
spiration of their presence. Few
there are who can stand aside, in

Burglars at Christiana

Two burglars entered the home
of Mrs. Samuel Slocum at Chris
tiana early Friday morning and
made away with all the family sill
yer, ten dozen of eggs and many
articles of value. Mrs. Slocum was
awakened by the noise of a man
searching through the closet in her
room, and asked what he was doing
there, ,sbut he calmly continued his
plundering, and when finished,
walked from the room, joining an
other man who had rified the first
floor. Mrs. Slocum then called for
help and alarmed the neighbor-
hood. Posses were formed and the
entire countryside secured, but no
trace of the robbers could be
found.

God knows we needed them-but

Record Year for Cam
ming Indicated

Reports from manufacturers of
canning supplies who have con-
formed to recommendations of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture in the making of equip
ment indicate that the interest in
home canning is increasing rapid
ly. There is a widespread demand
for more equipment that will save
labor and time in canning. 1t is
estimated that there has been dur
ing the year a so per cent increase
in the number of firms manufacture
ing home canning supplies, an
average increase of 25 per cent.
in the quantity of equipment sold,
and an increase Of 800 per cent. in
the demand for rubbers of stand

THE FOURTH
LIBERTY LOAN
No Escape from Responsibility

mo LSCdpC lIOlIl l\CSpOllSlDlllly
The campaign for the Fourth
Liberty Loan begins September %
and closes October 10. While the
amount has not yet been announc-
ed, it is generally conceded it will
be for a larger amount than any
of the preceding loans. The Ameri-
can people, therefore, are called
upon to raise a larger sum of
money in a shorter length of time
than ever before. There is need,
therefore, for prompt action
prompt and efficient work and
prompt and liberal subscriptions.
We have a great inspiration for
great effort. The news from the
battle front inspires every Ameri-
can heart, not only with pride and
patriotism but with a great incen-
tive to do his or her part. There is
no shirking, no shifting of the in
dividual burden, no selfishness by
American soldiers in France; there
should be none here. We are both
supporting the same country and
the same cause-our Army in one
way, ourselves in another. Theirs
is the harder part, but at least we
can do our part as promptly and
Loyalty and efficiently as they do
theirs.

day, not tomorrow. Our lot has

crisis and we cannot escape from
the responsibilities of that crisis.

blind alley or you are on the broad
