ENGLISH FACTORIES HEED CALL
Firms Make Munitions Despite Lack
Of Adequate Machinery.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press }
MANCHESTER, England, July IA
typical example Of the enterprise and
resourcefulness displayed by the North
Of England manufacturers in con-
verting their plants into munitions
factories was given by a concern in
a Manchester suburb.
When Lloyd Georges call came for
shells this plant had no equipment for
their manufacture The manager
made a quick tour Of surrounding
towns, visiting small shops from
which he borrowed lathes. These
were converted into shell-making ma
chimes and in a remarkably short
time the plant was turning out 1000
shells a week of large calibre.
The usual method of "bottling' or
shaping the nose of a shell is by hy-
draulic pressure. The plant, however.
had no presses available for the work.
The government engineers offered to
supply a press but that meant con-
siderable delay. Il won't wait for
one" said the manager. 81 can bot
tie shells with a steam hammer"
Those engineers laughed at me" I"
the manager said ~but the hammer
worked"
BY the hydraulic process, shells are
bottled with the ends up. Il turned
the shells upside down in a mold and
hammered their noses in" the man
ager explained. Both time and mon
ey were saved" Many shell factories
in the district are now employing this
method.

CENTRAL DISTRICT IN LEAD
Enrolls More Men In Navy During
June Than Whole Year Before.

By Associated Press
GREAT LAKES. Ill. July 24.-The
central district. comprising
the Middle Western and Southern
states, Is furnishing half Of the re-
serve men for the entire Navy, ac-
cording TO Lieutenant-Commander r.
s. Culp, U. s. n, recruiting inspector
for this district He made the state
meEf at q recent conference Of the re-
cruiting officers under his direction at
this station.
More men were enrolled An the
Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh districts,
which includes this territory. during
the month Of June than during the
entire year following the declaration
OF war.
In the eight weeks from May Is TO
July 16 Chicago leads in the enroll
ment with $3.50 men, while Great
Lakes comes second with a record of
4.34e others of the first cities stand
in the following order: Milwaukee,
3,72s; st. Louis. 3,o4s; Kansas City.
2.s7s; Cincinnati. 1856; Indianapolis.
2.24s; Louisville, 2.172. and Detroit.
2,153.
The sturdy men from the Middle
West make the best sailors" said Lieu
tenant Commander Culp. There has
been much talk Of whether the city
boy or the country boy Is the sturdier.
In the vast Middle West where there
is so much agriculture the record OF
the son Of the soil is better than that
OF his city brother. This is not al
ways true in other districts, but has
been found to be the case in our ter
ritory.''
