 OF AIRCRAFT
 IN IRELAND
Factories and ShIpyards in That Country Are Reaching Big Pro-
 portions.

DUBLIN. Feb. 23-The develop ment of aircraft factories and ship wards in Ireland this spring is ex pected to open up new industrial era in many sections of the country. Lack of facilities for technical training in the South of Ireland has been a long-standing problem which the new yards and factories will help to solve
 For the present, the business of airplane manufacture will be car ried on in existing buildings that are being placed at the disposal of the Government, but as rapidly as possible new factories of the most up-to date type will be erected. The development is not intended to be merely of temporary character. Flight stations and training de- pots which are being erected in va rious parts of the island are perma- nent structures, as it is believed that Ireland from it's geographical position, will have an important share in the postwar commercial development of aviation. It will be the gateway for every attempt at transatlantic flight, attempts
 which are expected to be fostered and encouraged by the governments of both the United States and Great
 Britain.
 Shipbuilding will center in Dub lin and Cork. Efforts are being made to secure a national shipyard | for Dublin, which will also be the | site of the largest of the aircraft factories, employing 2,000 skilled | men and 2,000 girls. The minimum wage paid to women workers in the 1 aircraft factories, it is announced
 will be about S750 week, which
 is three times the average wage paid to women at present, except : in intuition works.

LONDON, Feb. 25-Advertisement of what Germany is planning to do on the western front before the American military power can be put into the conflict continues to be a conspicuous feature of German newspapers. The Frankfurter Zei- tung says: French soil, those fer tile, flourishin$ fields which have already suffered so cruelty and have drunk such rivers of blood, will be the scene of a final struggle which will far esurpass the fiercest strug gles of the last year" Major von Olberg, head of the war press bu- reau, writes in the official Nord- deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung that the blow is now ready to fall when ever Hindenburg gives the word, and it can only lead to victory" !" The Deutsche agesZeitung declares that the greatest battle of the war is now about to commence, and re- peats the words of the Kaiser that If the enemy does not wish peace We must bring peace to the world by breaking in the gates of those who do not want peace with mailed fist and bashing sword"

GERMAN PEOPLE CALLED UPON TO SHOW FAITH
 AND TRUST IN GOD

LONDON, Feb. 25. = German evangelical pastors continue their efforts to maintain the holding out" spirit of the Kaiser's subjects. In the course of sermon delivered at Bucharast and later printed and distributed among the troops, the Rev. Ludwig Heckenroth, a conser- vative member of the Prussian chamber of deputies, serving as chaplain with Field Marshal Mack ensens army, in excorciating peace talk in Germany, said: "To me it is as though Almighty God Himself were marching through our land, pointing to all the innumerable signs of His help and salvation, and making against us the terrible ac- cusation: What have l done to thee, my German people, and how have l wounded thee, that thou re? wardest Me thus with want of faith, want of courage, and fainthearted- ness?'"
