BY the United Press

BY the United Press
WASHINGTON. Aug. 20-Czar Ferdi-
nand OF Bulgaria Is now being held
by Germany virtually as a hostage. ac-
cordlng TO advices received through
official channels today. That Germany
may be taking this means OF insuring
Bulsaria's loyalty TO the cause Of the
Central Empires, is thought here.
Ferdinand, according to authorlta-
tive information. left Bulgaria suddenly
after rumors Of Bulgarian efforts to-
ward peace appeared He is now in
secluslon In Germany resting" Ger
man papers say.
Others familiar with conditions in
Bulgaria, declare that Ferdinand has
long been surrounded in the Bulgarian
court with German officers and guards.
When conditions became threatening
in Bulgaria Il was suddenly announced
that Ferdinand would leave the coun-
try because OF mental strain" His
at first were kept secret,
but later IL was learned he was In Ger

Rumors Immediately following Ferdl-
nand's disappearance from Sofia said
he was going 20 Switzerland. presum-
ably 10 attempt peace negotiations with
the Allies. What induced him 10 20 into
seclusion in Germany is not known. II
Is significant. however. that he was not
taken into the conference Of the Kaiser

CHESTER COUNTY
BARNS ARE BULGENG

WEST CHESTER. Pa, Aug 20.-The
crops Of hay, wheat and oats in Ches
ter county are so heavy that many
stacks are seen In the fields, the barns
being inadequate for housing al the
yield Oats have proven the best-pay-
ing crop Of all, and yields Of over 80
bushels an acre are common. Although
wheat gave good yield, oats will pay
better for the acreage planted.
Drought and attacks Of blight ruined
the potato crop, and the yield for the
season is far below the sverage. in some
flelds being not one-third that Of for
mer years.
Corn In all sections OF the county
promised poor crop early in the sea
son and much damaged by hail. but
recent slight rains and damp nights
have worked wonders and the crop
promises to be the largest for many
years.
Sweet potatoes are a large crop and
doing finely, as are turnips. Little rye
or barley is grown in this county. Some
tobacco i'm the western section is doing
we'll and already has been sold in the
fields.

SCHWAB TO VISIT
SHIPYARDS MORE
Proposes to Direct Plants
With Personal
Touch
GREATER SPEED
IS THE OBJECT

Charles NJ. schwab, direcfor-genera
Of the Emerseney Fleet Corporation
hereafter viii spend more time visiting
shipysrds 70 direct operations with a
personal touch. 50 that greater speed
may result.
This was decided yesterday al the
conference with eastern shipysrd heads
held al the Belleyue-Stratford Hotel.
Philadelphia. The shipbuilders were
summoned by Mr.. schwab 10 devise
means Of increasing ship production.
Eastern yards are far behind western
yards in turning out vessels, and yes
ierday's session was so successful that
il was decided 10 make the conference
regular monthly meeting with the
view Of ultimately having the eastern
yards on a par with production In
other sections.
We had men from virtually all the
steel shipyards in the East" said Mr..
Schwab.' The chief object Of the meet
ings each month viii be for the pur-
pose of collective. II may call " such,
rather than individual direction. BY
work much more can be 40 |
complished, as the interchange Of ideas |
and methods Of progress will add great |
ly 10 speeding up the work"
Reasons for the failure Of the East /
10 be up 10 the middle and extreme |
West were summarized as follows:
First. That most Of the steel ship 1
yards are new and therefore have not /
completed their construction stage and /
entered upon a producing era.
second. That the munition and other
plants In the East, other
than shipyards, havt drained the labor
supply 90 a greater extent than similar
Institutions have depleted IL in the
West.
Third. That many Of the organiza-
tions were new and not fully co-ordi-
mated.
Fourth. That the East has severe
winters. stopping work at times while
he West can work throughout the II
same season without cessation.
Fifth That the yards here are build
ing various types OF ships while those
IN the West are concentrating on one
Iype.
sixth. That orders for material had
been placed there earlier in the game,
md therefore there is not such a short
,ge Of all commodities in that section

INYENTs sHApING pEVCE.

John p. Eckenroth. OF the Chester
Shipbulldng Company, Chester, has
patented a new machclne for bending
angle or channel irons for ships. The
patents describe the device as a rolling
mill. adapted 10 convert an angle iron
OF right angular form into one OF a diff
ferent angle.
The need for such an invention has
been felt for a long time by shipntters
and structural iron men in general, and
Il is thought that Eckenreth's inven-
tion will MI that need. The inventor has
reserved all rights and intends 10 ex-
plot the thing himself. BY passing a
bar Of iron between two rollers IL can
be bent by this machine to either an
acute or obtuse angle by simply ad-
justlng a travelling nut. Or one angle
can be made scute and another obtuse
at the same time.

We can satisfy it with candy, but

But is it real sacrifice to confine
our use of confectionery to the sugar

In this group may also be placed

kisses.
? Marshmallows and similar candies
comprise the third group. They may
be eaten plain, toasted, dipped in

In the fourth group are included
