Plans For Refining
 Heavy U. s. Guns

The Chief of Ardnance has approv machine-tool equipment which the United States government will install in France for the refining of the heavy railroad guns in use by the American forces.
 The project for this refining plant is enc of the largest undertaken by the Ordnance department, and calls for the expenditure of between $25,- 100000 and $30,000,000. In size it will be comparable to the Krupp Works at Essen, Germany. The machine tools alone will cost between S12,00O,GO and s15, 100000, and will consist of gun boring lathes, engine lathes, rifing machines, and grinders.
 | 4 large number of these gun-bor- ing lathes are designed for a 102- l inch swing. To make these lathes tlere is under construction at one of the machine tool factories in this
 country a giant planer, the base of which is so long that the curvature of the earth has to be taken into
 consideration in building 1t. It is
 500' feet long, nearly the length of the Washington Monument or the battle
 ship North Dakota. This planer alone is U cost s450,000 and the 1athes it will help make will approximate, in the aggregate, $6,500,0 900. Prior to the Iwar the longest planer ever built was
 not more than 30 feet. So long 8 Istretch of ground will this greater
 oIe cover, that, in order that its two
 ends might be in perfect alignment, 2
 correction had to be made in the de.
 sign to take care of the earth's cur. vatUre.
 In addition to the machine-too equipment required, the refining plan in France will include extensive shrinkage pits, giant 24O-ton travel ing cranes, an electrical generating plant of several thousand kilowat capacity, a large battery of boiler.
 to generate horse power required il operating the factory, and suitable buildings to house the entire estab | lishnIent.

London, Sept. 20 - At least 4,000 additional prisoners were taken by the British Third and Fourth armies when they resumed early yesterday, their drive against the Hindenburg line between Cambrai and St. Quen- tin. This brings the total of captives in two days up to 10000.
 The Allied drive in Macedonia has spread until the attacking front is now 25 miles wide, according to latest word from the Macedonian theatre. Serbian cavalry is reported to have broken the Bulgarian front, and to have reached Polsho, registering q total advance of 20 miles since the offensive began. Other cavalry forces are driving on Prilep, the vital Bull garian rail center.
 The Bulgarians are in flight in Macedonia and are burning stores and villages, according to a Serbian official statement received heke.
 The Bulgarians have been defeated completely, and the Serbian troops arc pursuing them day and night.

CzECHO- -SLOVAKS
 MODERN TYPE OF ANCIENT SPARTAN

Captain Vladimur Hurban, captain in the Czecho-Slovak legion which fought it's way across Siberia, told Rev. J. G. Panik of this city in New York a few days ago a remarkable story which has just been learned in this country and which illustrates the spirit of the Czecho7Slovaks and the strength of their devotion to the cause of the new Czecho-Slovak nation.
 The Czecho- -SIovak nation is entire ly within the territory held by the Central powers and in many cases sous of Czecho- -Slovak parents were rgnting in the Russian army. When fiat army began to melt and disintegrate under the treachery of the Bolshevists, one of these Czecho- Slovak boys went to his home in Aus tria-HungaFy. i He walked into his home after two years absence and greeted his father and mother.
 The only response he received vast Who are you?"
 Your son."
 NO. Our son would have joined the Czecho- -slovak troops and fought the Germans. You are not our son." The young soldier turned away from the door of his home, disowned and dishonored among his race.
 He went to the river nearby and drowned himsaIf.
 When his mother was told of it she said: T am only glad that traitor to his race and coward is no more" The spirit of this Spartan mother of modern times illustrates the iCzecho-Slovak determination and spirit of self-sacrifice which is ena- ilbIing the Czecho- -Slovak battalipns in Russia to accomplish such wonderful results in restoring Russia to the AL lied cause
 Photographs of the Czecho- -Sbvak troops who are training in Stamford and who will soon join the Allied armies in France have been received and will be placed on exhibition in store windows during the week. These photographs which are of very great size will give an opppr- tunity for Bridgeporters to study the Czecho-Slovak type which is doing so
 much to shorten the war and crush
 the Hun.
 These photographs were taken
 upon the estate of Gutzon Borglum,
 the famous sculptor, where the
 Czecho- o-slovak training camp is To- lcated.

 Every day brings new evidence that the Germans at St. Mihiel are plan ming a large scale retreat.
 A Belgian, who while a German prisoner was forced to work on the German defence positions, escaped to our lines yesterday morning.
 He said he had been working on the Hindenburg line, but that behind that line the Germans had constructed and were now constructing, four other lines of resistance. He said the Ger mans were now constructing a for midable line running through Bel gium.

Officers Schools Open To Deferred
 Men in the Draft

Washington, Sept 2O-Announce- ment was made by the War Depart ment of new regulations providing for the commissioning of draft regis trants direct from civil life. Men in class 1 and men of the deferred class es whose deferment is for other than industrial reasons may try for com missions in these schools.
 They are in part, as follows:
 "Qualified men between the ages of IS and 45 belonging to the deferred classifications on grounds other than industry, occupation or employment, including agriculture, may be commits stoned direct from civil life by the us ual procedure.
 'Men in the classification, known as class one, group c, having dis qualifications that would prevent them from being drafted as class one, group A men for general ser vice, but otherwise qualified for com missions in certain duties may be commissioned direct from civil life
 It is further announced that all men coming within either class one, group A, or who would be in that class, except for occupational defer ence, between the ages of IS and 45. must first be inducted into the ser vice before consideration will be g1v- en to their appointment as officers.
 The Department also stated that applications for admission to the cen tral officers training schools through out the country now may be filed. The age limits for registration are from IS to less than 46 years at the date of registration.
 It Is emphasized in the official an- nouncement that no applications will be considered in the War Depart ment. Candidates for admission should apply direct to the command ing officers of the various training schools. Applications for commis. sions should be addressed to the adju. tant general of the army, except those for the medical department may be submitted to the surgeon-general.
 General Crowder also made public today some interesting comments up on the operation and results of the work or fight" regulations. He stat ed as a conservative estimate tha 100000 registrants have changed owe from non-productive to productive oc equations since the order was pro mulgated. His statement adds:
 Reports from local boards in 4 states show that 52,S26 registrant had been notified up to August 2 to appear before the boards on ac count of idleness or non-productiv occupations. Of this number 23,S2 subsequently, notified their board c change to productive employment 10,643 were certified to the board for decision, and the cases of 1s,3 were still pending for decision"
