the aliens passports accepted as

NEW YORK-Grand Admiral Won

an angry crowd at the railroad
station at Freinwalde, Brandenburg,

of which has been received here. A
passenger train was crowded and
excited passengers were struggling
to get on when one discovered a
compartment in which sat one man
by himself.
A rush was made for the Gem

opened. Force was about % be

ENGLAND READY
TO MEET NEEDS
OF GIANT ARMY

MANCHESTER, England.-Two
days after the British began their
big drive on the Somme, a rush
order for 5000 shells was given
one of the projectile factories in
this district. So promptly was the
order executed that the shells reach
ed the British gunners in time to be
used for smashing the enemy's first
counter attack.
This shows how closely the NUM-
ton plants are related to the front
and gives an idea of the remark
able degree of cooperation that
exists between the shell-maker at
home and the soldier in the field.
The story of this districts achiev
ments in the manufacture of NUM-
tons, illustrated by the actual oper
ations, was unfolded recently to a
party of Allied newspaper men, in
Guiding representative of The
Associated Press, which inspected
the factories under the guidance
of officials of the ministry of NUM-
tons.
The party saw a great industrial
district, comprising the counties of
Westmorland, Cumberland. Lanca-
shire, the whole of North Wales, and
the Isle of Man, which had been
converted into a vast co-ordinated
plant for the turning out of war
Everywhere was evidence
of how the factories, abruptly ter
mlnating their peacetime work, had
cleared the deck for wartime action.
1t was in June, 1915 that David
Lloyd George. then Minister of Mum
itions, visited Manchester and told
the manufacturers and businessmen
that the country needed huge sup
ply of munitions and needed them
at once. At that moment the great
demand was for shells. They must
be had, not six month hence. but
Immediately.
The Manchester District Engin-
eering Trades Employers Associa-
ton called meeting at once, at
which non-federated firms also were
represented. The chief question
was whether it was wiser
to establish special national plants
for the manufacture of shells. or
to utilize the resources for the work
available. 1t was decided to follow
The second plan as it assured quick
ar results.
Textile manufacture is the prin-
,lple industry of the Manchester
district, and at first it appeared
hat the machinery used in the tex
lie factories was entirely unsuited
% munitions production. But bv
and ingenuity the tex
lie machinists have contrived TO
adapt their machinery so we'll to the
work that they are now the largest i
hell producers in the region.
At the beginning virtually only
hells were turned out, but gradu-
lily the field of manufacture was
extended until now it covers, be- Il
ldes shells, air planes, motor trans
'ort vehicles, guns, trench mortars
nd projectiles, hand grenades and
combs, mines, submarine engines.
team engines and turbines, scienti-
&c instruments and guages, and a
ariety of other munitions. ma
hlnery and appliances used for war
AS an example of the concen-
rated energy now being employed
the Manchester district, it is
ointed out that within a ten-mile
adius of the Manchester City Hall
lie 100000 population EMPLOYS
100000 horse power. Eighty per
ent of this energy is devoted to the
anufacture of war munitions. I

Canadian Scenery.

From the Christian Science Monitor.
American automobile tourists in Canada
are almost a unit in praise OF the scenic
beauty of the Dominion. Whether their
experience lies in the maritime. tho CEN
trail, the prairie or the Pacific provinces.
the story they tell rings to ono keynote.
Canada, in the open, all the way across.
Is scenic land. The beauty OF Nova
Scotia at one extreme is balanced by the
beauty of British Columbia at the other.
The charms Of Quebec find correspondence
in the charms Of Alberta. From Niagara
to the Selkirks is an almost unbroken
panorama Of unsurpassable landscape and
water views Longfellow barely touched
upon-he did not picture-the Annapolis
valley, one Of the fairest spots on earth.
No poet has done justice to the scenery
Of Nova Scotia or Of New Brunswick.
Digby and Wolf river and the environs
These localities come upon the tourist as
surprises. Little has been said about them.

some extent familiar with the st. Law
renee, only q small proportion have even
heard of the SaSuenay. or the millions
who have known OF Niagara Falls from
childhood only a few, comparatively, have
heard of the wonderful lake country in
northern Ontario. Speaking for western
Canada as q whole, it is virgin territory
to the tourist. yet it abounds in scenery
as grand, as impressive and as inspiring
as any in America. One Of the most seri-
