Limited Service Men for
Local Munitions Plants

During the past few months the
powder plants In this vicinity have
been complaining that they were not
able to do the work they should be-
cause of the great scarcity Of labor
and that If the situation was not reme-
died they would have to close down.
The matter was taken up with the
United States government and after
careful consideration they decided to
send about one thousand five hundred
limited service soldiers to the plants.
Five hundred of this contingent ar
rived in Perth Amboy yesterday and
were assigned to the plant of the Cali
fornia Loading Company at Old
Bridge.
The men will discard their soldier
uniforms and wear civilian clothes.
They are to receive the same pay as
h ordinary civilian employee of the
plant and the only difference will be
that they are enlisted or drafted men
OF the United States army loaned to
these powder plants and are subject
to military rule in so far tina they
cannot quit the job as an ordinary
workman.
The rest Of the men will arrive here
during the week and will be assigned
ito other plants. The most of the men
seemed a happy lot and they all said
they felt mighty lucky 10 be assigned
to powder plants at good pay.
1t is understood that a number of
local plants doing government work
are now thinking of asking for limited
service men as they are also finding q
great deal of trouble IN getting the
necessary help to carry on war work.

AVIATION MAKES STRIDES

LONDON. Oct. 16-No other de-
velopment in human history has
shown so remarkable results as has
flying in the last ten years. say Lord
Montagu of Beaulieu. a British scien-
fist and aviation expert.
When the Wright brothers visited
Europe ten years ago." he said, 'the
anrplane engines were of 24-horse
power. Today they are of $50 horse
power in some cases. and the air.
planes carrying capacity has Increased
from about 1926 pounds to, three and
one-half tons.
Ten thousand feet was then the
highest flight. Today we are doing
q 5000. And while forty miles an
hour was then the highest speed. to-
day we are approaching 100.
THE British army in France began
with onl ythirty-six planes. I may
not give the number today but it is
huge"
Long fights-to and from America,
for instance-would be possible after
the war. Lord Montagu said, adding
that he himself hoped some day to
fly to India. For long distance flying
however. he continued, it would be
necessary to evolve a silent engine. for
the public would not be willing to
take LENGTHY trips in noisy airnlones.

Athletes IN the Trenches

At the outbreak Of the great war
one athletic expert predicted that

Life In the trenches will incapaci-

they come through unscathed In the
matter of bullet wounds" said he.
Trench fever, rheumatism and other
ailments were expected to work the
most terrible results with the men
who were called to the colors Of their
various countries.
opinion can be Is proven by the fact
that today after four long and weari-
some years OF bitter struggle, the
finest athletes in the world are In the
trenches. and some OF them have
been in the war from it's very start.
The Splinter who is beating all In

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
Harmless Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi.

laxative, and their effect on the liver Is
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of Dr.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with caiomel.
His efforts to Danish 1t brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth liko
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
OF the trouble and quickly correct 1t. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth?
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. Sol do strong liquids. It is best nos
to take calomel, but to let Dr.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.

NO TRADE WITH AMERICA

ASSOCIATED Press correspondence
AMSTERDAM, Oct. 16:-'No buy
ing from America II 1t can possibly
be avoided" must be the German
watchword after the var is the as
sertion of the Rhenish Westphalian
Gazette, an important German indus
trial organ.
The reason given by the paper is
that, before the war, the balance of
trade between the United States and
Germany was against Germany to the
extent OF nearly 1000, 600, 900 marks
a year. Germany imported from the
United States goods to the value of
LII, 100000 marks while German
| exports to the United States amount
ed to 713, 900, 900 marks. Dividends
on German holdings of American Sc
curities, in addition. helped to pay the
bill for goods bought In America.
How could we possibly meet a still
further increased debit balance" asks
the paper in DESPAIR. I'VE had to
realize our American securities to pay
| for raw materials while the United
| States was still neutral, to meet de-
murrage on our ships held In Amer
lean ports"
The conclusion seems inevitable to
| the Gazette that Germany must so
curtail her cotton and copper imports
from the United States that they do
hot cASScu' VI ohiy siishuy cAceeu,
her own exports OF fertilizers, dyes,
chemicals, etc. The rest of Ger
many's erstwhile imports from Amer
lea, it says. can and must be stricken
off the list.
Our imports of American agricul-
tural machinery must cease" says the
writer. The openings offered In
Russia, Rumania and the Balkans
are SO great that we must push our
own machinery there with all our
might"

MORGAN WILL De
STORAGE PLANT
Eldridge and Capt. Watson
Say Only Reconstruction
Stopped is Loading Units

That the Morgan shell loading
will be turned into n govern
ment arsenal or storage place was
announced at the plant this morning
both by Captain w. w. Watson n
Robert f. Eldridge, of the t. A. Gil
lespie company and manager OF tne
Morgan plant. Just when the plant
will be used for this purpose could
not be learned, however.
All knowledge hat the I. A.
Gillespie Company would turn the
plant over to the government on
Wednesday, as reported
this section of the county by rumor,
was denied by these two men n as
far as work at the plant Is concerned
at this time the only reconstruction
work stopped is the rebuilding of the
various shell loading units when
were destroyed by the explosion.
Work is being finished on various
storage buildings and Mr.. Eldridge
said that whether Dr. not new storage
buildings would be built and their
type was under discussion at this
time.
The new storage plant will differ
from the accepted term OF
arsenal, for not only will shells and
explosives be stored at the plant, but
all kinds of war material, such as
TENTS, clOtHeSr aTI1eu cars tihSho,
machinery and other equipment OF
war will be kept there.
The government, 1t is understood.
has many orders for war material
which for various reasons n be
cancelled and as this work Is COM
pleted 1t is anticipated that these
goods will be forwarded to Morgan
and placed in storage. There is little
doubt but that a great deal of this
material can be used in the recon
.struction work in France and other
allied countries and If this Is the case
no better shipping point could be
found from which to place the goods
on transports.
There are now. said Captain Wat
son, six or seven hundred soldiers at
the plant n they are used for
guarding purposes, the guards being
changed every few hours.
Mr.. Eldridge said that the T. A.
Gillespie Company had not dis
charged anyone as yet.
