PLANT HERE MUST
INCREASE OUTPUT
Iron Age Says Every Nerve
Must Be Strained. During
September

The local steel plant figures in
with the many steel plants of the
country which according to the Iron
Age, must increase their output dur
ing September to meet the shortage
of government materials during the
month of August. Commenting on
the steel trade of the last week the
Iron Age of to-day says:
With more emphasis than ever
the war Industries board has put be-
fore the steel trade in the past week
the imperative call for rails, plates
and shell steel. New needs cabled
from France have added to the gar
between capacity and requirements
and the amount now wanted in the
last four months of the year will
bring the total for the second half UP
to 100000 tons, as against an esti-
mate of 2O.000,000 tons early in July
and probable production of II to is
millions for the six months.
yet output does not increase. and
every nerve must be strained to make
up in September for the inread
made by. an unusual number of no
and highly humid days in August.
"A swelling of overseas demand
due to the aggressive activities of the
Allied forces, has changed greatly
the operating schedules of the mills
Urgent calls have been received for
rails, rolling stock and shell steel
and temporarily, some home needs,
even cars for our own roads, may
have to stand aside.
Coming Immediately after a
heavy distribution of 50 nm. shell
bars, an emergency order for 100000
tons more of this steel, with the same
amount to go each month up to
February; the ALLEGATION of $4,000
tons of rails for France, and the or
ders now being distributed for 122,-
500 tons of plates and shapes for new
construction in Japan for the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation, have al
ready made the expected larger pur-
chases of cars for France a matter
of the farther future. Rush construc-
ton will be given 1000 narrow guage
cars for the army abroad, following
the placing last week of the 10000
additional 30-ton cars; and many
more of these larger size cars are
wanted.
Last years heavy accumulations
of export steel at Atlantic port:
waiting for ship room were. cut dowr
100000 tons in the first sever
months of this year. Mills have beer
urged to build UP stocks for France
at seaboard against the railroad
blockades of winter, but thus fai
have fallen steadily behind the ocear
movement" -.-

CUBA HELPING US IN WAR
Sends Sugar, Tobacco, Ships and Mon
ey, to Assist In Fighting
Hun.

Washington.-Cuba's latest war of.
fering took the shape of consignment
of 100000, cigarettes and $500 pack.
ages of smoking tobacco for distribu.
tion to the American soldiers in France
III transmitting the gift, the Cuban
minister explained that it was sent by
the Cuban people in recognition of the
work OF the American army and as a
token of the sincere friendship be-
tween Cuba and the United States.
This is not the most important con-
tribution Cuba has made. While larg-
er nations of this hemisphere have
been doing their best to defeat the
Prussian dream of world conquest,
Cuba has not been idle. Her declara-
ton of war came on the same day as
our own. Since then, Cuba has fur
nished us sugar and has sent us ships.
She has made outright presents of
money and has established an active
Cuban Red Cross organization headed
by Sonora do Menocal, wife of the pres
ident of the republic. She has passed
q selective service law and has issued
$30,0O0,000 worth of government bonds.
American officers have been invited to
the island to train her troops. There
has been constant cooperation be-
tween Cuba and the food authorities
of the United States. Everything with
in her power to do, Cuba has done.
