FIRST LIST TO
 CONTAIN NAMES
 OF U. s. OFFICERS

London, July 23-The British "Na- w List which has just appeared is the first official publication of the kind to contain the names of certain Amer ican Naval officers. They are includ- ed in the British list because they have been attached to certain Admi- ralty departments for special work.
 The list of Ships and Vessels of the Royal Navy" shows still further increase from the very impressive and lengthy list of a year ago, although the regular warships are no longer set down, and the list Is limited to yes sells taken over by the Admiralty for the duratoin of the war.
 One page, which used to be devoted to the names of three honorary "Ad- mirals of the Fleet has shrunk to a single paragraph and a single name. It used to include the German Emperor, Prince Henry of Prussia and the En- peror of Russia. The first two have been crossed out altogether, while Nicholas who used to be listed as His Majesty II, Emperor of All the Rus sias," is now merely His Majesty Elm peror Nicholas" ,-... t-.

PLENTY OF STEEL
 AT PLANT NOW

Philadelphia, July 23.-Steel is now arriving at the big government ship building plant at Hog Island in ade- quate quantities, according to H. ". Blood, an engineer for the American International Corporation.
 "The fabricators of steel parts for ships" MT. Blood said, "are making good, and the steel committee, re- gently appointed ot see that the ship yards are stocked with steel parts, has done much toward the solution of the problem.
 The Hog Island yard, the largest in the world, is preparing for its first launching on August 4. The ship is the Red Jacket It is an 8,000-ton freighter Two more S.O00-ton freight carriers are nearly half completed.

Fire Increases
 Lack of Dwellings

The Hague, July 23 - Lack of nople, was increased by the devastat- ing fire of May S1, details of which are given by the Balkan correspond ent of the Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant. It's ravages have. added to the general misery of the Turkish capital, where spotted typhus still carries off an average of 30 victims daily. Living there is frightfully dear, and the intestinal disorders which the warm season brings every year have arrived earlier than usual owing to the inadequate food.
 The fire was caused by a lighted cigarette being thrown into the corner of a room. Over a distance of two and half miles 1t spread, right across old Stamboul, from northeast to southwest, burning away a strip of | from third to hve-eighths of a mile wide. Halfway on the course the flames branched out In a southerly direction. Then districts of the city were swept and more than 5000 houses, 20 baths, a dozen bazaars and about 10 mosques were destroyed. more than 10000 persons were left 1 homeless.
 The burned district Is almost in the center of the city.
 | Government offices and the houses of a number of high officials were hastily evacuated, as well as the prtn- cipa1 hospitals and schools in the vi- | cfnitv -., -~

UNUSUAL FEAT
 OF AN AIRPLANE

London; July 23-A trench news paper published by one of the British divisions in Palestine gives the fol- lowing account of an unusual feat by British airplane in the fighting zone:
 "One of our aviators was forced by engine trouble to land 10 miles inside the Turkish Ines. His engine wXs misf1ring but produced sufficient power for taxing and short hops, but not for fights. Presumably the valves of two or three cylinders had broken or stuck.
 But the pilot did not give up hope, and succeeded in taxing the whole way to the British lines over the level sand. On the way he crossed Turk ish encampment, and his undercar- rage brought many a clothes lines and a number of Turkish shirts. The pilot was attacked by several detach- ments armed with rifles and machine I guns, but they invariably fled wher 1 he charged on them with his gun Two or three German afrplanes dived and fired bursts at him, but luckily l hit no vital part"

COOPERATION IS WATCHWORD OF
 MUN|T|ON MAKERS

Manchester, England, July 23.-Co- operation is the watchword of the manufacturers in this district engag- ed in making munitions. Before the war each concern guarded its factory secrets zealously but when the plants were dedicated to the munitions needs of the government, all resources were pooled trade jeaIousies were forgotten and factory secrets were freely ex- changed to further the common cause. More than 200 firms in this district undertook to carry out government contracts. In the case of small firms unable to take over individually an entire contract several club together and do five-sevenths of the work re- quired. The remaining two-sevenths is performed at an assembly p1ant,and any profit made there is divided among the various contractors includ- ed in the group.
 | The governments Board of Man agement in the Manchester area has placed contracts for amounts running into many millions of pounds year. Production amounts to 100000 shells weekly and vast quantities of other munitions supplies. .....
 | There was considerable waste in shell manufacture at the outset in pri- vate factories owing to the crude methods that had to be employed be- fore the proper kind of equipment
 could be installed. The first price
 of 23 shillings for '18-pound shells has
 been reduced 10 II 1-2 and 12 shil-
 lings, and it is stated that the man.
 ufacturers are making a larger profit
 mow at the reduced price.
 Many of the converted plants turn
 ing out shells are run on non-profit
 basis. Many others devote all net
 returns to phihnthropic war work o1 i invest the money in war bonds.

BOSTON BEAN
 BACK IN FAVOR

The Hague. July 23.-The Boston baked bean, formerly despised except by the humble classes of Holland has been restored to public favor by the recent embargo on shipments of wheat from America. 10000 acres of land have been converted into areas for growing beans and peas.
 Queen Wi1helmina is setting an ex- ample for her subjects in cultivating cereals by growing rye on the lawns of her country estate of Het Loo.
 Trade i'll food substitutes thrives amazingly. The police of Alkamara recently seized 400 bales of roasted flower bulbs and 400 pounds of mill ed acrons. which were intended for use in making coffee.
 Much of the shortage of milk, but ter, eggs, meat and fresh vegetables is due to, the fact that Holland has to barter many of these good things for German coal and iron.

WAR DEPT, WILL GUARD HEATH OF
 GIRL EMPLOYES

Washington, July 23 - Assistant Secretary of War Crowell has author ized the development of a plan of military drill and health conserva- ton for the thousands of girls and women employed in the War Depart ment in Washington. Miss Susanna Cocroft of Chicago has been called to Washington to assist in this important new work in cooperation with Capt J. I. Peyser of the Housing and Health Division of the War Department and Major George P. Ahern, president of the Government Recreation League.
 Under this, plan military setting-up drill will be given to the girls in reg ular company formation, similar to the drill that is building up the strength of our soldiers, but modified in some measures to make 1t particu- larly applicable to women Other health and recreation activities in- ciuding tennis, boating, etc, will probably be included in the work. This will be optional on the part of the girls as we'll as selective. These activities will be arranged so as to produce the maximum of wholesome result with minimum of effort It is also intended to have the work of a social nature so that it will bring together the girls who are patriotica1ly serving their country away from their homes in Washington war work.
 This new plan Is another example of the administration to make the conditions of employment in Wash lington ideal. Miss Cocroft commence ed her work with a lecture at the .Belasco} theatre, Washington, Thurs day afternoon. July IS, at 5:15. This lecture was under the auspices of the War Department and was attended by over 1000 girls.
 | The following statement has been authorized by Miss Cocroft regarding this. work: These girls left their homes and came to Washington as i patriots. doing their share of the wal york; and ft;seems logical to me that we should look after their health and 1 recreation as we look after the com fort and health of our men in the cantOnments. I'm sure the girls will be happier, more contented, more eff. fieient. At least I'm going to do my
 best to make them and their mother. at home feel that the administration
 here is their friend and the guardian of their welfare"

In the city the individuals pay about twenty-five cents year for plots from thirty to forty feet in length to fifteen or twenty feet in width.
 Food officials say there are more than 100000 allotments and that about 100000 acres of potatoes are growing in allotted ground.

GOES FAR BACK IN HISTORY
French City Of Montdldler Was Of In.
portance In First Millennium Of
the Christian Era

The National Geographic society 10.
sues the following war geography bul.
letin on Montdidier, a few miles east
Of Amiens:
"This little town, whose history
dates back to the first millennium Of
the Christian era, had population
Of less than 5000 at the beginning Of
the war, but it was rich In historic
associations. It is said to have de-
rived its name from the fact that
Didier or Desiderius, the last Of the
Lombard kings, was imprisoned here
In TIA by Charlemagne. 1t will be re-
membered that Charlemagne, having
put aside his first wife, Desiderius'
daughter, took up the quarrel Of Pope
Adrian with the Lombard monarch,
and after marching an army across
the Alps. captured the erstwhile IA
ther-in-law's capital city, Ncinum,
and took the vanQuished ruler back
to France, where he died in captivity.
''Montdidier is attractively situated
on an eminence on the banks Of the
river Don. It is the capital of an ar
reimbursement in the department Of
the Somme, and Is 62 miles north of
Paris by rail, and % miles southeast
of Amiens. Its chief industries be-
fore the war were tanneries and the
manufacture Of zinc-white.
"When the tides Of war finally re-
cede it is probable that the three build.
ings In which the citizens of Mont
didier took the greatest pride will be
crumbling ruins. These are the church
of st. Pierre, which was built before
Columbus set sail on his voyage Of
discovery, and which contains a tomt
and font Of the eleventh century; the
church of st. Sepulchre. a fifteenth
century edifice, and the Palais de Jus
tice, formerly the city castle. In the
last named building visitors before the
war were shown six unusually hand
some Brussels tapestries Of the sew
enteenth century. These were I'M
doubtedly removed before the Ger
mans entered the city.
"Montdidier's most famous son wal
Parmentier. the scientist, who gave
impetus to the culture Of the potato
In France. A statue erected here com
memorates his gift to the nation.
! "Tor a number Of years this little
/, city was governed BY its own lords
| then passed under. the dominion Of tn
counts Of Creepy and valois. In thu
twelfth century it became q posses
| Non Of the French crown and received
