Amor Won by Knights of Old
Shipped to Soldiers in France

Several suits of plate armor that
shielded medieval knights from the
battle axe blows of fierce opponents
before time and relentless collectors
brought them to the Metropolitan Mu
scum OF Art have been shipped to
France to see if they will stand the
test Of modern warfare. With these
suits went others that had been fash
Toned under the direction of experts in
the arm morer's workshop in the museum.
This ancient war harness is being
worn now by American soldiers at
points along the battle front where
shells and bullets are making life an
uncertain thing. If the armor proves
stout enough to defect bullets from

urers Will be instructed to begin the

Daniel Tachaux. who represents the
skill of many generations of French
armorers, has been working under the
direction Of Major Dean at the
metropolitan Museum forges, and it is
ne who has been the majors chief as
slstant in the manufacture of the plate
armor now being worn by selected
group of American soldiers. NJ. Tachaux
was born at Blois, in France, where
his ancestors had been doing metal
perience abroad he came to the Met

One bit of work which Sergeant Bar

was a helmet which he had just com
pleted. He was then fastening leather
flaps to form a lining and protect the
head Of the wearer. 1t would be i'm
possible to fashion by hand sufficient
armor to equip modern army, but
once suitable designs are fixed upon

machine.

WASHINGTON, Aug 8 - Sweeping

newspapers intended TO effect saving

circulation practices and currailing the
volume of reading matter on sliding
scale Of percentages, were announced
to-day By the pulp and paper section
Of the War Industries Board. News
papers viii be able TO obtain print
paper only after signing pledge to
observe the stIpulations.
In order to effect further saving of
paper, it has been ruled that no new
newspaper shall be established in the
period Of the war.
The announcement reads:
THE Priorties Board of the War
Industries Board has listed paper mills
as an essential industry and has rated
them in fourth class for priority for
soal on the distinct understanding that
the greatest poss Bile economy IN the
use Of paper be exercised and that the

Sunday editions.
paper mills Will be put upon the
priority list for coal. conditional upon
their signing a pledge that they Will
furnish no paper to any consumer who
will not also sign pledge in duplicate
that he viii exercise the greatest posi-
BE economy in the use of paper and
will observe all rules and regulations
OF the conservation division and of the
pulp and paper section OF the War In
dustries Board. These pledges are now
being prepared and viii be furnished
shortly. One copy Will be left on file
with the mill and the other will be sent
to this office.
"The War Committee OF News pa per

ment should be accomplished by the
elimination OF all vasteful practices
and by the reduction of size Of all

certain Recommendations TO the pulp

IF by October the above reduc-
tons are not accomplished. additional

Brooklyn Service Bad
Three or Four Trains Less an
Hour Go to Atlantic Ave
nue. Now

a continued inspection of the service
on the new III subway system by
mem bers and inspectors of the Public
Service Commission has convinced that
body that the public is rapidly adjust
ing ltseI # TO the new lines, and in many
respects finding them more convenient
than the old. statement to that ef-
feet was issued by the commission yes
terday.
Commuters at the Grand Central sta
ton, the statement said, we're bene-
hted IN that the walk from the large
waiting room was less to the new dag
onal station than was the walk to the
old Grand Central subway station. with
the added advantage that, although the
west Farms trains which came down
Lexington Avenue were crowded the
express trains from 149th Street
reached the diagonal station almost
empty, so that the quantity of service
southwark was much better than it had
been heretofore. The statement con-
tnued:
Brooklyn Service Impaired
The service from Brooklyn TO Man
haitian was not as good as usual for
the reason that the only trains going
to Brooklyn were from the East Side
subway, which meant three or four
trains an hour less than formerly, so
that at the Duffield Street station and
Borough Hall station there was consid-
cradle congestion.
The Increase in facilities OF the two
subways IS shown by the new sched-
ules on the old subway The physical
limitations of tracks and signals would
allow thirty four trains ar hour on the
express tracks, which was continually
reduced by the length OF station stops.
lhls maximum of thirty-fou express
trains may he compared with the sched-
u!ed tifty-six express trains on the
East Side and West Side subwavs.
The commission was disturbed, how
ever, by the fact that while the sched-
ule called for ffty-six express trains,
and the company erdeavored to main
tain it, it was not done with ten-car
trains. The company was so short of
tralnmen that II was necessary to cut
the length of trains in order to kee D
up with the scheduled number.
200 Transfers an Hour
an order to accommodate BROOKLYN
passengers desirous of reaching the
stations on the West Side subway,
transfers were issued at Wall Street,
good at the Rector Street station on
the Seventh Avenue line, and such
transfers were given out al the rate Of
about ZOO an hour.
Attention was again called to the
fact that persons desirous OF reach ng
Bronx stations north of 149th Street.
either on Jerome Avenue or on the
West Farms division, viii secure bet
ter service by taking trains on the East
Side subway than by undertaking to
take trains on the West Side subway.
likewise, attention is called to the
fact that persons living west Of Central
Park, and working in the district south
of Chambers Street, will find trains
more available either in William Street
or in Greenwich Street than on the old
subway. For example, for the thou
sands of persons around City Hall
Park, there is a station in Park Place
alongside of the Woolworth Building.

The Wrangell sentinel. (Wrangell, Alaska) 1909-current, 1918-05-23

We waste time while we wait for
genius to burn; we settle down to in.
different and mediocre lives while we
watch for our talents to develop. In
other words, we deliberately throw
away hours and days because we have
no definite end in view. and therefore
no real incentive to do service that
is worth while. How can we tell what
we are able to do, however, unless we
make Il determined effort to find out?
1t may be that we shall fail many
times before we discover the right line
In which TO direct our abilities, but a.
least the time so occupied will not be
willfully wasted, and even through
failure we learn many things which
will aid us in future attempts.
