LIBERTY FORGE SHOP CLOSES
 TEMPORARILY

It was announced today that the forge shop of the Liberty Ordnance Go. will be temporarily shut down, owing to the big demand for steel rails to supply the advancing Ameri- can army in France. This situation requires that rolling mills concen- trate all their efforts on the produc- ton of rails thus causing a temper ary shortage of shell steel.
 Arrangements have been perfected whereby, 1t is thought, workers in the forge shop will be found work in other departments.
 At the Bridgeport plant of the Lib erty Ordnance the shells fill the yards The supply on hand at the plant will last about two or three weeks, and by that time in all prob- ability the rolling mills will have caught up with the urgent demand for steel rails.

 Miss Baldwin was not in the best of health, having just finished a very severe case of nursing, but she promptly answered the call for vol unteers, reported for duty to Ridge field and was assigned to the Roach family.
 The duty of caring for all the mem bers of the stricken family. devolved upon her. Her unexampled devotion to her profession was shown in her refusal to leave the house when she first manifested symptoms of the di- sease saying she could not leave un- less relieved Effort to obtain relief in Bridgeport and nearby towns was unavailing. Only when the disease severely fastened itself upon res was she removed to her home in Stratford where she fingered until yesterday

CLEAR THE WAY

BY Charles Mackay
Men of thought! be up, and stirring
Night and day:
Sow and seed-withdraw the curtain
Clear the way!
Men of action, aid and cheer them,
AS ye may!
There's fount about to stream,
There's light about to beam,
There's a warmth about to glow.
There flower about to blow.
There's midnight blackness changing
Into gray;
Men of thought and men of action,
Clear the way!
Once the welcome light has broken,
Who shall say
What the unimagined glories
OF the day?
What the evil that shall perish
In its ray?
Aid the dawning, tongue and pen:
Aid it. hopes Of honest men;
Aid it, paper-aid it, type
Aid it, for the hour is ripe,
And our earnest must not slacken
Into play
Men of thought and men of action,
Clear the way!
Lo! clouds about to vanish
From the day;
And a brazen wrong to- crumble
Into clay.
Lo! the Rights about to conquer;
Clear the way!

Enter smiling at the door;
With the giant Wrong shall fall
Many others. great and small.

For their prey.
