Manufacturers Readily Convert Fac

Manchester, England, July 27.-A
typical example of the enterprise and
resourcefulness displayed by the
North Of England manufacturers in
converting their plants into NUM-
tions factories was given by con-
Germ in a Manchester suburb.
When Lloyd Georges call came
for shells this plant had no equip
ment for their manufacture. The
manager made a quick tour Of sur
rounding towns visiting small shops
from which he borrowed 1athes.
These were converted into she'll

ably short time the plant was turn

calibre.
The usual method Of ''bottlings' or
shaping the nose of, a shell is by
hydraulic pressure. The plant, how
ever, had no presses available for
the work The government engineers
offered to supply press but that
meant q considerable delay. 'I won't

pany spent two weeks under the di-
rection of Oscar APPEL in the south
taking these scenes. Some remark
able locations were secured and some
very humorous scenes included in
the picture by Mr.. APPEL. Among
these is a scene with a little colored
boy which will make everyone in the
audience laugh, as it is a bit Of I'M
usual and unconscious humor that
is delightful because it is so human
and unstudied.
1.-THE Interloper" presents a new
situation on the screen. It is a sit
uation that for dramatic punch and
intense interest would be hard to
equal and extremely difficult to ex-
eel. 1t is a scene that also has a
surprise for every beholder, as the
outcome is utterly different from
what you would expect.

"Mothers of Liberty"
At The Princess

Mothers of Liberty will be at the
Princess, Monday and Tuesday.
Entry Of the United States into
the European war finds Mrs. Walker
confronted by the same problem she
met in the Spanish-American war
twenty years ago when she gave her
husband to her country to return

youngest son troubles her heart, a
distress that is relieved by pride.
But that pride Is crushed when she
is convinced that her eldest son is a
Stacker.
The latter's sweetheart repudiates
him and gives him a lesson in 10y

but Walker merely seeks forgetful-

full, accusing eyes pursue him and

BRITISH MUNITION
FACTORIES o R
OVERTIME TO GIVE
NATION MATERIAL

Bedford. England. June 2e.-The
munition factories of Great Britain
responded nobly to the heavy de-
mand for increased fighting material
resulting from the present great Ger
mar offensive. according to F. G.
Kellaway, parliamentary secretary to
the ministry of munitions. Deliveries
of guns, he told the Liberal club. ex-
ceeded the estimates by 80 per cent,
while deliveries of u carriages were
so per cent greater than before.
( There was a great demand for in
creased supplies of a particular kind
of shell, but there was sufficient on
hand to supply this from stock. The
horse artillery after long inaction,
suddenly was called upon for a most
active kind of service and conse-
quently an immense increase in the
output of ammunition for that branch
workshops, MI. Kellaway said, rallied
magnificently and by the end Of April
the weekly output had increased 800
per cent.
The production Of machine guns,
small arms and rifles increased pro-
portionately.
All this. Mr.. Kellaway added, was
accomplished in spite Of the fact that
for the month previous to the Of
fenstve an average of $3.50 men were
released per. week for the army and,
for the first month Of the offensive
this figure. was increased to $500 per
week. tx
At a. meeting for enrolling women
for the land army, Mr.. Kellaway said
that since the beginning OF the war
there had been two great pieces of
constructive work. One raj that of
munitions and the other agriculture.
With regard to the former the women
had done splendidly. The excavation
work at one Of the most important
f~ortihcations or the northeast coast
was carried out by fisher-women from
the eastern part Of Scotland. They,
said MI. Kellaway, had been the sure
shield and buckler Of Great Britain
and he did not believe they would re-
turn to the useless occupations so
many occupied before the war as
there would be room for them and
the men in repairing the ravages Of
war. f

Market NeUS
STOCK MARKET
IS INCREASED
Foreign Advices Tend to
Make Irregularities
This Morning.

New York, June 2S.-The stock
market showed increasing irregular
ity today, foreign advices, particu-
larly repotrs affecting the Russian
situation, contributing to that end.
United States steel was again an
uncertain quantity, yielding a point
and high grade rails eased to the same
extent, while some specialties regis
tered greater reactions. Moderate ad-
vices in specialties and sharp fluctu-
atoms in speculative issues, including
Sumatra tobacco, were not reassuring.
Liberty 3 1-2's sold at $99.56 to
$3.50; first AS at 94.22 to 94.42; Sec
ond As at 94.30 to 94.46, and 4 las
at 1852 to 1852.
The only noteworthy feature at the
irregular opening of today's stock
market was a four point advance in
Butte and Superior. mining, based on
a favorable court decision. Otherwise
changes were unimportant and mainly
toward lower levels, rejecting the
mixed character of the overnight
news. Tobaccos, feathers and Equip
menfs soon developed heaviness, also
United States Steel and New Haven.
Nominal gains were made by Baldwin
Locomotive, Crucible Steel and Ma
rine Preferred. Liberty bonds were
irregular.
Uncertain conditions continued
during the dull o o hour. The rise
in metals which accompanied reports
of an early advance in copper prices
by the war board, was balanced by
another drive against sumatra and a
four-point reaction in general motors.
