the Carnegie Steel Company: 49,.
1.-THE conditions that prevailed during
the day at our biggest plants in the
Monongahela Valley continued tonight.
We have had no reason TO revise our
feelings on the present situation, and are
still gratified at the gains that are being
made.
"Of course the Duquesne plant is
most pleasing in it's showing OF 100 per
cent 1t is running normal tonight
The Edgar Thomson works continues to
operate with a better showing than II
made yesterday, having gained a few
men. Homestead, too. gained few
more men tonight, while during the
day sufficient men returned to put in
operation one OF the blast furnaces at
the Carrie plant At all other plants
the condition was unchanged, and with
the exception OF Farrell there was nc
disorder at any OF the mills or towns
At Farrell there are continual clashes
between the State police and the strikers
but despite this disorder operations are
still being carried on"
The plant OF Spang. Chalfant & Co.
Inc, at Etna, closed down tonight
throwing out about $500 men. The meI
began walking out during the afternoon
but It was estimated by the plant Off

Get Arms Mt Zinc Plant.

Despite the announcement made here
repeatedly by United States Steel Cor
Ioration officials that no attempt would
be made to operate mills where trouble
had occurred, It can be stated authori-
tatively that the officials of the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire Company, one OF
the largest subsidiaries of the Steel
Trust, are huriedly pushing prepara-
tlons to open the big zinc plant at
Donora within the next few days. the
plant has been closed down since Mon
day morning.
At noon to-day two large barges
loaded to the gunwales with rifles and
ammunition were stealthily run up to
one OF the zinc plant wharves and men
we're busy during the greater part OF
the afternoon unloading their cargoes'
These barges had been hidden at lock
No. l in the Monongahela River While
several hundred strikers, headed by
band, marched from Monessen TO Don
ora, because officials Of the zinc plant
feared the inflammatory effect on the
strikers.

AWAkEs FROM LONG SLEEP
Little Town o. kosniostsin Has .
Brief Resumption Of Military
Glory Of the Past.

On the great main route between
Frankfort and Cologne, the little town
Of Koenigstein has enjoyed. an I'M
usual, though not unprecedented, mil
itary importance this summer owing
to the fact that General Mangin has
made it his headquarters. The de-
struction of its fortress, the building
of railways and steamships for the
Rhine, all these had shorn Koenig-
stein of it's one-t' ,e Importance, and
| during the last Low years, but for the
hustle and laughter of the periodic
holiday-maker, the little town seems
to have fallen asleep. Through gently
rising and falling country, past gar
dens which are a colored tangle Of
climbing geraniums and other flowers,
the traveller comes upon koenigstein.
And instantly his after ion is arrested
by the great ruin, silent, misshapen,
upon the hill, forcing upon the pres
ent, inexorably, the memory Of the
past. Here owing to the treachery of
one Of his messengers, the French
general, Meunier, surrendered to the
Prussians in 1902; here the French
returned four years later in triumph,
only shortly after to destroy and then
abandon their little city encompassed
by its powerful walls, lest the ap-
preaching enemy should once more
intrench himself there. Today, In
times Of peace, a great French soldier
walks beneath the shadow of the
fortress, while his men in their pic
turesque azure uniforms, climb incon-
sequently about its shattered terraces
and through it's broken dOorways.

HELPING FRANCE TO REBUILD
caIifornians Responsible for the Eree-
ton Of Model Village in tho
Devastated Reoion.


Anyone acquainted with the mar
velous recuperative energy of France
will hardly be surprised at the pace
with which she is rebuilding her waste
places and desolate heritages. Less
than two years ago, along the banks
Of the Marine, all was ruin and desola-
ton; where once had been thriving
villages, not one brick stood upon an
other. Today, houses amidst their
neatly planted gardens are springing
up everywhere, and the peasant is to
be seen once more serenely at work
in the fields as though during these
past years he had known no other
setting for his labors than this silent,
peaceful countryside. One thing he
has gained from this destruction and
building up again. The dark, incom-
modious, often dilapidated home OF
the past has been replaced by COM
Portable up-to-date dwelling. Among
the most remarkable of these post
bellum French villages is one in the
department of the Meurthe-et-Moselle,
which has been wholly rebuilt under
the, superintendent of Californian
women, architects and designers. An
ideal model village, artistic. orderly.
practical in it's extreme simplicity,
this little homestead is held in great
esteem by it's inhabitants, who are de-
termined to prove themselves worthy
Of so attractive a setting.
