FEWER STRIKES in
GREAT BRITAIN NOW

LONDON, March 25.-There are now
fewer strikes in Great Britain than at
any period since the war began, says
an official report to Parliament on the
labor situation. The report says in
part:
"The soundness of the labor situation
in this country is really remarkable,
considering the larger issues involved
and the millions of men affected. Az
ter three and a half years of war the
great body of laboring men are still
working with a steady devotion never
known before in this country"
Winston Churchill. in a statement
supplementing the report, said that
the labor situation was so food that
the secret service department in the
Ministry of Munitions had been abol-
ished and the ministry now has ma
secret agents of any kind. THE wide
spread and answering loyalty and
resolution with which the production
of munitions is being maintained is
shown by the fact that the time loss
in all branches of our work during
the last six months has been less than
one-fourth of one per cent" he added.

Another innovation about to be

A cage mast and a battery of three

To GET PRACTICE ON
ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS

GREAT LAKES III. March 25.-To
give the men at the Naval Training
station here tactical instruction in
the manipulation of anti-aircraft guns,
the Navy Department has authorized
the installation of a three-inch, fifty
caibre, anti-aircraft battery. This an
nouncement is made in the Great
Lakes Bulletin, the new daily paper
edited and printed by the sailors.
Present intentions are to mount the
guns on the lake front so that men
can be trained by target practice at
captive balloons and box kites. For
drill purposes, in connection with avi~
ators at the station. it is planned to
have airplanes make day and night
attacks" All guns will be fully
manned, ready for instant action when
an airplane puts in an appearance.

he asked permission 10 continue the

drive. At that time about one-half the
districts had reported complete success,
with many others very near the goal.
Since then each day has been marked
with progress until now 1t is declared
there Is no change Of Sussex falling
down.
Based on 500 per capita, the county
expected TO sell stamps TO the maturity
value Of 100000. The rural districts
did wonderfully well from the begin

which made It necessary to continue

ARMY MAKES RECORD
MEAT PURCHASE

CHICAGO, July 22-The largest single
order for bacon and canned meats in
the history of the world-99, $4,000
pounds OF bacon and i34,000,0O0 pounds
of canned meat-has just been placed
by the Quartermssters' Department, U.
S. A., for the American army averseas.
Louis T. Swift, In commenting on this
today, said the order will take the ba-
con from approximately 100000 hogs
and if other work were dropped to pro-
duce 1t, ii would be equivalent to the
total bacon production Of the five lar
gest Chicago packers for nearly five
weeks, however, six months will elapse
before delivery is completed.
Mr.. Swift said;
AT the current prices on the day,
last week, when the purchase was
made, the packers would pay the live
stock producers about Ss0,000,000 for
the necessary hogs and over s50,000O00
for about 100000 cattle required.
1.-The cattle will cost us twice as
much, and the hogs two and one-half
times as much as in the pre-war per-
iod.
THE whole order Will be made up
before the first Of the year, despite the
fact that, even before this purchase,
one-fourth OF the packers facilities
have been devoted to filling military
demands.
I'm order to get out the canned goods
the packers will find 1t necessary to
employ night and day shifts OF Gamers.
Notwithstanding the fact that the pro-
ducts are being rushed forward thus
hurriedly, not a single complaint has
been received on meats delivered to
the armies abroad.
''The flve packers are now killing
about $4,000 hogs weekly TO keep
abreast Of martial and domestic needs"
