Three Startling War Dis
coveries Have Come
From Packing House
Experiments
Bi-Products Of These Institu-
tions Now Include Med
ical Supplies For Ar
my Surgeon Use

Chicago. Sept. 3.-Three startling
war discoveries, two of them having
a direct military value and one hav-
ing a worldwide economic signifi-
canoe, were made public here at the
stock yards today. These discoveries
of the chemists in the laboratories of
the packing plants, have come about
as the result of continuous efforts to
aid in solving war problems.
The cheese industry of the world
has been rescued from the shortage
of rennet, Of which importations
from Denmark have been previously
curtailed A new curdling agent,
Rennase, can now be made from the
stomach of the hog. Rennet was OBJ
tanned from the calf's stomach. Guam
titles of Rennase have been shipped
to cheese makers in this country, in
the Argentine, in England, in South
Africa and in Australia. The scarcity
Of Rennet can no longer cripple the
industry.
Another discovery is thromboplas-
ton. a blood coagulator, obtained
from the brain of kosher killed cattle.
1t was disclosed today that some of
this material already has been ex-
ported to France and used there to
hasten the coagulation of blood in
soldiers wounds
The third of the revelations was
that surgical ligatures, a by-product
of the industry, are now being made
in such wise that they will dissolve
into the flesh at the end of definite
period. They are 'timed' for ten,
twenty or thirty days and the sur
geon needs but exercise his judgment
as to when the wound will heal and
then select the ligature accordingly.

MUNITIONS PLANTS GUARD
AGAINST SPY OPERATIONS

Extraordinary precautions are
taken in munition factories to pre-
vent explosions. Probably the most
dangerous point in the whole manu-
featuring plant is the loading room
where the powder is put into shells.
In the hurry Of the loading, despite
the utmost carefulness on the part of
the worker, the powder becomes scat
tered about on the tables and the
floor, making terrific explosion a
certainty if spark is caused any
whee in the room.
The workers wear felt slippers and
no metal is permitted on any part of
their clothing. Hard substances of
any kind, which might causea spark
if they came into contact, are aviod-
ed like plague
The loading room of munitions
factory was the place Of attack chosen
by Imperial German spies in case an
other plan in regard to the factory
An electric wire was in
stalled by the head electrician in the
plant, who was in German pay, which
would throw spark by the throwing
in of switch in the power house, a
safe distance away.

tired chief of the United States
Secret Service, has prepared the
story of this plot under the title of
''The Munitions Campaign" as the
ninth episode of his serial, "The

Knitting Tangle Is Form

Of American
Red Cross
War Industries Boards Part In
Yarn And Cotton Sup
plies-Plans For
Chapters

Washington, Aug. 31.-George E..
Scott, acting general manager of the
American Red Cross, has issued the
following statement:
"Red Cross women throughout the
country are anxious to know exactly
what our plans are for future knit
ting, and in justice to these workers
who have rendered such plendid serv-
ice in the past, we want to make the
present situation clear.
"Some time ago the War Indus
tries Board advised the Red Cross
that in view of the great shortage in
raw wool, the future production of
knitting yarns would be very much
reduced. We Immediately com
menced to purchase all yarns suit
able for our knitting, and as a result
we have today in stock or on order
100000 pounds of yarn for distri-
button to our chapters. This, of
course, is an amount considerably
less than we used last year, which
was approximately ten million pounds
1t is hpoed, however, that in the near
future, we may obtain some further
supply Of yarn made from wool which
is not suitable for government pur-
poses
"While the total amount of yarn
which will be available is being de-
termined. we are studying the prob
lem Of utilizing this supply to pro-
duce only those garments which are
most essential. A soon as these facts
are ascertained, we will announce our
fall program Of knitting.

at will crafty our women to
know that the effort which they have
made during the past year to produce
large quantities Of knitted articles,
has resulted in satisfaction and addi-
tional comfort to our soldiers and
sailors. It will interest them still
further to know that their productive
abilities were so great that we now
have a reserve stock Of knitted goods
in our warehouses which will largely
offset the present wool shortage as it
affects the Red Cross. Our workers
will be interested to know that we
have distributed to the army and
navy in the United States from Sep
tenn l, 1917, to June 80, 1918, the
following knitted garments: 2,OOO,-
900 sweaters (about 100000 pur-

For the same period Of time the

MURDERS EDIFY RUSS MIND
Not Without Reason Has That coun.
try Been Known as the Land
of Assassination.

Eichhorn and Dressler follow
Mirbach into the company of
Plehve, Stolypin, Rasputin and Gar
Nicholas on the further shore of
Russian despotism. "a cup to the
dead already; hurrah for the next
to die~ The habit of assassination
is strong in Russia, according to a
writer in Boston Transcript. Le-
nine and Trotzky have been threat
ened. If the hand of the assassin
should strike them down, too, would
it provoke a reaction in their favor?
Not if there is any lesson to be
learned from Russian history in the
past. In other modern lands pub
lie sentiment recoils from assassina-
tions and from cruel executions. But
the Russian mind, like that of an
cient Rome, is edited by them. If
the Russian people may be said to
rally to the support of anything,
it is to a bold assassination. That
is something to stand by! They
sprang nobly to the support of the
assassination of Plehye with the rev.
olution Of l905-until the czar be-
gan his own assassinations. What
an impetus the murder of Rasputin
gave to the revolution of 1917!
1t is even quite possible that the
assassination of Car Nicholas is SC
widely approved by the Russian pub
lie mind as to stay the reaction
against the bolsheviki. Let us fer
vently hope not. But where will the
next blow strike? Will it bring just
such relief and joy to the Russian
soul as the thought of RasputiI
strangling under the ice of the News
brought?

MADE IN HELL" THEIR SLOGAN

A boycott against German-mado
goods to which at least 20,000,00O
persons in the two Americas shall
be pledged has been started by the
American Defense society, according
TO the Washington correspondent of
the Louisville Courier Journal. 1t
was given great impetus on July "a
when a new American pledge for
that day was launched by the boy
cotters Of goods of Hun manufac-
ture. The pledge reads as follows
"That l may not directly contribute
financial aid to the German military
policy, with its disregard of inter-
national law, its attack on unforti-
fled towns, its maSsacres of the in
nocent and the helpless. its enslave-
ment of free peoples, its use of gas
and flames, its ignoring the Red
Cross badge, its bombing of hospitals
and its torpedOing of defenseless
merchant ships, pledged myself
never to buy any article made in
Germany" No only is this pledge
being circulated for signatures thru
out the United States, but it is to
be put all over Canada and all thru
Latin America. The honorary prcSi-
dent of the society is Colonel Thco-
dOre Roosevelt, and the honorary
vice presidents include David Jayne
Hill, Robert Bacon, Perry Belmont,
Charles J. Bonaparte, John Grier
