The fact that loans decreased heav-

West.
War news was excellent yesterday
and included the new move started
by the allies along the Channel front.
o News from all other fronts was
much the same as for the previous
day. A belief in an early end of the
war is growing stronger, particularly
among investors.
Much ProHt Taking.
In view of the sharp advances IN

LARGE NITRATE PLANT
BUILT DOWN SOUTH
1t Is Regarded As Great Big
Industrial War Drama
COST ToBEs7o,Ooo,ooo
Over Seven Thousand Workmen
Are Now Engaged In Its
Construction
limited Press Dispatch

Birmingham, Ala, April 1.-THE
greatest industrial war drama in the
history of the south is being enacted
at Muscle Shoals on the Tennessee
river in Northwestern Alabama.
Developments of tremendous i'm
portance to the United States in both
times of war and peace are being
rushed to completion there at cost
of $70,000,000. p7t
The government has already well
under construction two emergency
nitrate plants that will extract
nitrogen from the air for use in prep
aration of ammonium nitrate, sc
essential to the manufacture of gun
cotton, smokeless powder and other
high explosives used in war, and fol-
making of high grade fertilizer sc
necessary to the restoration of sol
fertility both in war and peace.
President Wilson has also author
lied the construction of power ant
navigation dam No. of the Tennes-
see river at Muscle Shoals in which
the United States army engineers
have recommended ultimate install
lation of hydro electric machinery fol-
generating 100000 horsepower.
Will Be Operated in June
Nitrate plant No. 1, it is announc-
ed, will be in operation during June
An army of 1900 men is employed
on the work alone. The plant will
manufacture thirty tons of nitrates
per day by the synthetic ammonia
process of air-nitrogen fixation. II
will also consume one hundred tons
of coke per day and from one to two
tons of dolomite The remainder OF
the raw material will come from the
atmosphere.
The plant will manufacture it's own
coke. 1t will also have it's own 5000
horsepower steam plant.
Seven thousand workmen are en-
gagged in the construction of nitrate
plant No. 2, and this force will be
increased, it is expected to $4,000
before the plant is completed. 1t will
employ a permanent force of 5000
men. This plant will probably be
turning out nitrates in August.
Power to drive this $30,000,000
plant will be furnished by a 10000
horsepower steam plant, and by a
steam power plant of the Alabama
Power company on the Warrior river.
The steam power plants will be used
pending the building of big power
dam No. 2 on the Tennessee river
This dam will generate minimum
of 10000 horsepower at the lowest
point.
Work has been started on Dam No
q, which will be the largest concrete
dam in. the world. Over 100000
cubic feet of materials will be requir-

New York, April 17.-Roused by
the need for world wide construc-
tive program to make the world safe
for democracy and democracy safe
for the world, the Methodist Episco-
pal church is planning to celebrate
the centennial of it's Missionary
society with a colossal missionary
movement based on world wide
program. The plans cover five
year period and call for the expendi-
ture of eighty million dollars.
The total OF $S0,000,000 was not a
mere guess in the dark. 1t was
reached through a scientific process
of field analysis. Every mission and
every institution belonging to the
church throughout the world were
carefully surveyed as to actual needs
and pressing opportunities. Detailed
missionaries went to the financial
committees in charge of each mission
area. These were filled out by men
on the field, reviewed and o. k.ed by
the bishop in charge and finally re-
checked and approved by central
financial committee. On the basis of
these accurate estimates the centen-
airy world program was. formulated.
General direction of the entire
centenary movement for the Metho
dist Episcopal church is in the hands
of a Joint Centenary committee with
offices at III Fifth avenue, New York.
Auxiliary commissions of the home
and foreign mission boards work
with it. The Methodist Episcopal
Church South has executive centen-
airy headquarters in Nashville,
Tennessee.
The movement will be a joint
affair in more senses than one. It
represents combination not only of
the home and foreign mission boards
but the friendly cooperation OF the
Canadian Methodist church and OF
the Church North and South. For
the first time since their separation
in 1847, the Methodist Episcopal
church and the Methodist Episcopal
Church South will hold common cele-
bratiOn.

WILLARD IS AN ERASER

Chicago; April 10.-Jess Willard is
a thick, rubber eraser, inclined to be
soft and still possessed of strength
and vitality.
Fred Fulton is a huge steel spike
slender but harder than a landlords
heart.
That was the impression the two
heavyweight puglists gave when they
met for the first time in two years
met to arrange their fight on July 4
Fulton, fresh from long string OF
workouts with pugilists of high and
low degree was lean. Willard, with
two years of easy living, looked soft
His neck rolled over the edges Of a
high collar and tightly buttoned
coat failed to hide the fact that the
champion has paunch as well as a
punch. A little walk up a flight of
stairs left Jess breathing hard. Every
Indication was that Willard will have
to pound the road for many a mile
before developing the wind to carry
him safely through a long battle.
Still Willard is in perfect health
He has acquired the soft flesh of the
man in comfortable circumstances,
but rot the pudginess of the dissipa-

from being pigmy. Up and down.
