EASTERN WAR WORK k s. ,

T HE DISTRIBUTION of war work, so that the west ana the South will get of it. will not harm the East which it do and less labor than needs It every standpoint to keep all the mupon eggs in basket As general principle large and excessively important supply should be located well toward the interior quite out of reach of coastal attack that may be made in the present war; hereafter.
 What Bridgeport has to fear in common with the rest or England is not present equalization of war work but the future consequences of efforts at conservation such as the production of electrical power at the mouth of the mine the utilization power and the location of certain indus tries nearer to the of raw material
 In Italy where coal is exceedingly there has been marked and indeed tremendous movement of manufactures power These plants sustained by falling water will remain after war; and will quite change the dispersion of man ufacturing endeavor.
 Manufactures they exist in the United States are almost everywhere accidental The great industry in brass and cop per- has instance logical relation the sources from which it's produced to the great supplies of iron and coal necessary to the enterprise.
 New England therefore should this time before change has proceeded far consider carefully the matter of nen sve education the arts and industries for all of its youth for all of its labor of every sort The matter of water should byno be forgotten Water should be de- veoped wherever it is available Thus New England will pre- serve its relative position the nation but not otherwise

GERMAN FLEET IS
 EXPECTED TO GIVE
 BATTLE VERY SOON

Washington, June 12-Further evil dence that Germany, in it's efforts to end the war this summer, is planning to support it's land offensive by send ing it's high sea forces against the combined British and American Grand Fleet, is given in an official dispatch today from Switzerland.
 "A telegram of an official nature, '' says the dispatch, 'is being spread broadcast in Germany, which says that the German admiralty is consid- ering a big naval offensive. Orders are supposed to have been given to keep the whole fleet in readiness, and a certain number of naval officers of high rank have been recalled from Switzerland and other neutral coun- tries, where they have been spending their leaves.
 "The Kieler Zeitung speaks of ex- traordinary activity in the ports, and the Hamburger Post publishes an in- terview with von Tirpitz, who was asked if Germany was in position to measure herself with the English fleet. The admiral naturally replied in the affirmative, saying that after their land forces have pushed the French and English back on the othel side of Paris, it will be the turn ot the Kaiser's boats to drive the Eng. | fish off the high seas."
 Both in Washington and in the al lied capitals a German sea offensive | on a grand scale has been regarded as a possibility, and the appearance | of the Teutonic fleet in the North Ses at any time would not be unexpected Rear Admiral Gleaves said in pub | lie address not long ago that wort ] had come to the British fleet that th' l Germans at last were ready for the supreme test.
 If the battle does come American naval forces will play their part American dreadnaughts under Rea1 Admiral Hugh Rodman joined tht British f1eet.some time ago, and Ad miral Gleaves in his recent address | that that when Admiral Beatty, com manding the British grand sea force heard that the Germans were coming he assigned the American ships to ( | prominent place in the line
 American naval officers are no les anxious for a finish fight with tht l enemy than are the British. In al i allied quarters there is supreme con l fidence of the outcome. Once the two fleets come to grips, officials are certain that the Germans will be de- l cisively defeated.

SIR OLIVER LODGE.

Sir Oliver Lodge, the distinguished British scientist and delver into the mysterious realms of spiritism and psychic research, was born sixty-seven years ago today in Staffordshire. Like so many other noted men Sir Oliver has been called upon to mourn the loss of son in the war, for Sec ond Lieutenant Raymond Lodge was killed during the Dardanelles cam paign. The English savant was not a believer in race suicide, for he reared family of twelve, equally di- vided between sons and daughters. All of his surviving sons are serving their country. In connection with the death of Raymond Lodge, Sir Oliver, shortly after the death of the for mer, created a sensation by publishing book, entitled Raymond" in which he sets forth conversations he has had with his departed son, and the latter's description of the state in which he now finds himself.

CULINARY, DIETIC AND ECO-
 NONIC IMPORTANCE OF EGGS

The reasons for the far-reaching dietetic value of the egg are. not to be found wholly in it's direct contri- button to the amount of nutrition, valuable though that is, but chiefly in the capacity of the egg to render other food more palatable. Take any cook book and count the number of times each food ingredient enters into the recipes. The egg will lead, possi- bly, rivaled by milk and wheat flour. Add the cook books of the other half of the world, where milk and wheat are rarities and the egg has no rival.
 Notwithstanding the pressing need of eggs for our allies the Food Ad- ministration is urging the increased consumption of eggs at home. And this is quite right. Man is creature of habit and most of us have the meat habit. Advice to substitute vegeta- bles for meat for the most part falls on deaf ears, but eggs are a substi- ute for meat which the most con- firmed meat eater will gracefully ac- cept. The egg is the meat rose with out its thorns; all the flavor of the animal protein is there, and the toxic animal wastes are absent. Moreover eggs go further. The occasional ex- aggerations that one egg is equal to a pound of steak is sheer nonsense. In the laboratory the food values of eggs and moderately lean meat are about equal. But the chemical food tables do not tell everything. On the o D0lhand they miss the small quanti- ties of harmful elements in meat, and on the other they miss the fact that a man who will eat a half pound of steak in a restaurant will order two eggs weighing but a fourth of a pound and be content with it as the meat order" of his meal.
 One dozen eggs weigh one and one half pounds. If meat is worth 40 cents a pound then eggs are worth 60 | cents a dozen. But in practice they are worth more for three reasons First, they are a. more cornmendable food dietetically. Second, they will go further pound for pound in serv- Ing. Third, they are an ingredient in general cookery that has no substi- ute. All things considered the in- telligent food buyer can we'll afford eggs until they reach a price per dozen equal to twice the price of his favorite meat.-From Eggs for Health and Economy by Milo Hast Aings in May Physical Culture

CAMP DEVENS MEN
 ARE DISAPPOINTED

Camp Devens, Aver, Mass, June 12. Disappointment hangs like a cloud over the camp today because of an order issued from division headquar- ters which blasts the hopes of many a man of moderate means who looked forward to the time when the govern ment would make a, special ruling whereby soldiers would get reduced railroad fare while in the service of the country.
 The order that soldiers shall ride for cent a mile came through, and the men, especially those living in Connecticut and other points distant from the camp, thought that they were going to be able to get home over week-ends at a much more mod crate rate. Today this order was in- terpreted to mean that men going on week end pass shall pay the full fare and the 'cent-a mile" ruling applies only when men are on extended fur tough, which means a furlough of more than 24 hours duration. Then the men must have @ certificate from his commanding officer to show that he is entitled to the reduced fare.

WILL EXPAND INDUSTRIES TO RELIEVE ROADS To Transfer New Orders and Plants to the Inland
 Districts <. WILL DO AWAY
 WITH CONGESTION New Plan Will Stop Block ing of Railroad Lines in
 New England.

Washington, June 12-Steady 1n- dustriaI expansion in the middle West and South through the placing of war orders with plants in those sections for the purpose of relieving Eastern railroad congestion and labor short age was seen today in the announce ment of a new policy of contract all location by the War Industry Board and the fuel and railroad administra- tions. In the transfer of new orders and plants to the inland districts, It was pointed out, no hardship will be worked on the Eastern section.
 The district in which it is designed to prevent further expansion was outlined as follows:
 The New England states. eastern and southern New York, Pennsylva- mia and far West as Williamsport and Altoona, New Jersey, Delaware and eastern Maryland, exclusive of Bal timore
 The aim of the War Industry Board, which passes on the larger portion of the contracts of the war and navy departments and shipping
  will be to assign contracts to sections where transportation will not over tax the railroads, denude other essen tiaI industries of labor, and where new and less congested routes to south Atlantic and Gulf ports will be easily available. With constan, supply of coal as the basis for the rapid completion of all war work, il is expected that largep ortion oi the new orders will go to the districts not far distant from the coal supply Thus in the opinion of officials the new policy will mean an expansion o1 war work plants in western Pennsyl' vania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wes irginia and other sections of the Mississippi valley and the South None of the districts, however, it was em phasized, will be so flooded with gov ernment orders as to cause unnatura 1 industrial bOoms.

All Married Men
Without Children
May Be Called

1t has been announced here an
nOunced here, upon reliable informa-
ton that all married men within the
draft age without children may be
called into the service at an early
date. Up to the present time the
boards everywhere have passed up
married men wherever possible,
whether they had children or not, but
the new order, said to have emenated
from Washington during the past few
days, indicates that all married men
with only a wife to support will be
required to enter the military ser
vice.
Just how many this new order will
affect in Greeneville and Greene
county it is hard to estimate, but It
viii doubtless call several into the
service that have thus far escaped.
