Exeter Times, 1915-8-5, Page 2MANY NEW FACTORIES FOR MUNITIONS Sixt n Established and Ten £Lore to be Set Up in England • despatch from London says: --- Sixteen national munitions factories have been established in England, and, after consultation with the French Ministry, the British Govern- ment has decided to set upan addi- tional ten large establishments. This announcement was made in the House of Commons by the Minister of Munitions, David Lloyd George, who told of the progress madeby his de - partment in overcoming the shortage in shells that had prevented the army on the Continent from doing all it might otherwise have done. These new factories are being erected in the vicinity of the arsenals and the ex- isting armament establishments, and, the Government has completed in a few weeks the developments it is now engaged on the supply of shells will be doubled. "This," said the Minister, "will not merely enable us to support our men, but will enable them to cleavetheir Way through to victory." I'dr. Lloyd George explained that. until the new factories are built the work of the department will be di- rected to speeding up existing con- tracts. At first the Government had been faced with a grave labor short- age, and some machines were lying idle because no one could be found to, work them. One-third of the machines engaged in Government work at the outset were not being utilized at night, During three moths his depart- ment had succeeded in adding nearly 40,000 men se -elect -to the ranks of the workers connected with arma- ments, and they were pouring in fur- ther supplies. His department had also enrolled 100,000 volunteers, but it had been found difficult to remove the majority of these from their pre- sent employment. Howeverq scores of thousands of skilled men who had enlisted had been traced, and ar- rangements were made with the War Office for the return of these znen to the factories.

INVISIBLE AEROPLANES LATEST GERMAN PLAN A despatch from Amsterdam says: Germany possesses invisible aero- planes, according to the Cologne Gaz- ette. The wings are made of a clear transparent material called cellon, which is the invention of a German engineer named Knaubel. Cellon, which is manufactured from cellulose and acetic acid, is tough, pliable and non -inflammable, and is used instead of canvas. A machine covered with cellon is said to be virtually invisible above an altitude of 3,000 feet. Herr Knaubel made his first experiments with the material two years ago. • In the Middle Ages people in Eng- land wore the beaks, or points of their shoes so long that they encum- bered themselves in walking, and were forced to tie them up to their knees. KAISER ASKED PE. PO TO Hol. See Declined Proposal Because of Condem- nation oked �' P e m nation of German Submarine Warfare MEDIATE A despatch from Rome says: --It is learned here that the Minister of Prussia accredited to the Holy See, who recently has been living in Switz- erland, has convoyed to Pope Eenediet a proposal from: the Kaiser suggest- ing that the Holy • See offer to medi- ate between Germany and the United States and promising to abide by the Pope's decision if mediation should be emoted. It is further reported orted that the ,p Pope replied , that he was unable to offer mediation because he resides in a 'bel- ligerent country where Germany's representatives cannot come, and be- cause of condemnation of submarine warfare, he could not pass upon , a matter involving its justification, The Pope called attention to the fact that as the Holy See was neutral it could not assume the arduoustask of settling controversies between the powers, He suggested, therefore, that the Kaiser submit the question to The Hague Tribunal, :BOW: EAS`I'i AND VIO I.ATED RULE ae�w.

Will be Nipped in Bud by Surprising Move of Allies A despatch from Athens says: Enver Pasha issued an extraordinary. message to his troops on the Gallipoli Peninsula before the last big attack. It ran thus: "Soldiers, you will fight with all your strength. At least you will resist., as long as possible, for I can promise you within a month's time I shall be able to ` send you to yoir homes. The life of Serbia cannot now last longer than a month. With- in that time the German armies will crush her and will come to our aid." I learn that great pressure had. been put on the Germans by the Young Turks to fulfill the promise to send German armies through the Bal- kans to the assistance of the Turkish forces. The Young Turks regard the achievement of that plan as the only hope for the Turkish Empire in Europe. A prominent military expert who has just completed a tour of the Balkan States,. and who latterly has been in Austria, expresses to zne the belief that such an effort will be the next great move on the part of the Austrians and Germans. Should this cross . move be . made it will have immediate and important results in this corner of Europe. It would be unwise to give details which are with- in my knowledge, but 1 think I may be permitted' to say that counterbal- ancing events are moving rapidlyand the enemy's plans may quite possibly be nipped in the bud by a surprising move of which the public should hear at an early date. PERSONS OF NOTE, Anecdotes and Facts About People Whose Names You Know. On an occasion Lord Fisher may be seen walking in St. James's Park, Lon- don, ,with hie wife. Very simple in his habits of dress, he es partial to a dou- ble-breasted. coat and a flat hat, similar to that popularized by Mr. Churchill. These warm, sunny afternoons he likes to uncover his head, and then one notices the stiff, white -hair has a tendency to fall on the forehead in a Napoleon -like projection, The late Mr. Joseph Chamberlain was probably the Statesmnan who smoked the most cigars in the course of a day; in his case the damage was done net by the number he smoked as by the strength of the leaf of which they were manufactured. Mr. Fred. Terry, until he was stopped by his doc- tor, had a way of goring in for chain smoking -that is to say, he lit one cigar from the stump of the one before it, and so on. When the average man comes across Sir Edward Carson, the new British Attorney -General, with his trim, erect, sturdily -built figure, he is apt to forget that the great lawyer and Ulster patriot is sixty-one years of age. He certainly does not lookmore than Atty.This impression is accentuated by the free -and -easy way he dresses, ne for nearly always he eo to the House of Commons in a double-breast- ed lounge suit and a bowler hat. In retirement Lord Haldane will probably turn again to literature. He has written some of the most notable essays on philosophical criticisms of the day., 'and students ofphilosophy would welcome further contributions from him. • ` Not only has Lord Charles Beresford offered the Admiralty the .benefit of his advice and experience from time to time, but he has been over to the Front, and narrowly escaped .death. Once having seen the popular seaman with his square figare, it is impossible' to rnis'take him, and when the House is sitting, and he strolls on occasion into the Outer Lobby, a whisper usual- ly goes round the waiting crowd at the barrier: "That's Charlie Beresford!" Lord Derby is easily themest popu- lar peer in the North of England. A man of great initiative and will, • he says what he means,and telling the people the truth he finds no difficulty in evoking a steady response. There Is a curious resemblance in his writing to that of Sir Edward Grey, but in gen- eral characteristics a . wide gulf saps,- rates eparates them. It was commonly anticipated that Mr. Edwin Montagu, who is back again at the British Treasury as Illnancial Secretary, would be saved for the Ministry, if not for the Cabinet. He is remarkably clever at finance, and in addition he has enjoyed for years the privilege Of the Premier's friendship, spending many week -ends with him. Like Mr. Austen Chamberlain, another financial expert, he affects 'the mono- cle. Back again in England, Major F. E. Smith, who takes °Moe .for the first time as British Solicitor -General, 'will probably surprise his friends once more by his insatiable love of cigars. Ike smokes, as a rule, a, dozen long Coronas a day, and one of the impor- tant duties of his clerk has been to see that a full case went to the Law Courts each day for his use--e-one cigar to be smoked during the luncheon hour, and another, directly the Court rose. Thence onward the Coronas went in quick succession,.

EXPEQSiYES HELD AT ROUMANIAN BORDER Smuggling Devices of Germans to Get Munitions to Ottoman Troops Frustrated A despatch from Paris says: -A re- port from Bucharest that orders had been issued to the Roumanian .officials at all fronties stations to make the most thorough examination of all. freight cars owned by Austria- Hungary, Germany and Turkey to pre- vent any possibility of the passage through Roumanian territory of mu- li n t on s and arms has been officially confirmed at the Roumanian Legation in Paris. It is reportedthat car loads of beer barrels packed in ice sent from Ger- many. to Turkey were examined and the barrels found to contain war mu- nitions. The freight, cars are re- ported to have •.been provided with false bottoms and walls, behind which arms Were hidden. Every device known to modern smugglers is said to have been used to pass armsand mu- nitions through Roumania for the 4t toman troops. A despatch from Rome says:-- News has reached here that Turkey has only one mouth's stock of am- munition. Consequently the Italians believe the allies will take the Dar- danelles in a relatively short time if Bulgaria and Roumania act energeti- cally against contraband. DISORGANIZED TURK FORCES RETREAT Successful Progress. of British Campaign in Asia Tlinor Reported by Sir John Nixon A despatch from London says: - "Gen. Sir John Nixon reports that as a result of an action near Nasiriyeh f Asiatic Turkey) the disorganized Turkish forces retreated northward more than 25 miles. "The enemy's casualties in killed, wounded orprisoners amounted 'ap proximately to 2,500 men, the prison- ers including 41 officers and 690 men, of whom some 200 were wounded: Our capture of arms and material includ- ed one 40 pounder gun, twelve field and two mountain guns, several ma-: chine guns, 1,000 rounds of artillery and 30,000 rounds of small ammuni- tion and explosives and bombs, and other miscellaneous ordnance stores. "Our casualites numbered 564 men, as follows:. British officers killed : 5, and wounded 20; other ranks, killed 47; wounded 142, and missing 30; Indian officers,. killed 4, wounded 7; other ranks, killed 45, wounded 257, and missing 6. "The evacuation of the sick and wounded from Nasiriyeh has com- menced." INTERNED GERMAN BOATS • • HAVE TURNED AROUND A despatch from New York says: - The . War News Strategy Board of Brooklyn scented in the shifting of six German steamships at Pier 33, South Brooklyn, another attempt of the detained fleet of the Kaiser to make a "dash for the open." Tho marine superintendent of the Ham- burg -American. Line said it was true that the ships, including the President Grant, the Hamburg and Koenig Wilhelm the Second, had turned end for end in the dock. Some of them had been nearly a year in dock, and the metal of thepier had badly de-' fleeted the compasses. The object of turning the, .other sides of the pier was to readjust the compasses to some extent. NO MORE GIFTS OF TOBACCO. French Government Cannot Under= take to Effect Delivery. A despatch from New York says: - Hereafter the hardships of the French soldiers at the front will not be light- ened by the occasional gifts of cigars, tobacco and cigarettes which have been sent to them in the past by kindly -disposed Americans. ' The French postal authorities have. informed the authorities here that they are, unable to effect the delivery of the smokes to the soldiers or the prisoners of war in France. In conse- quence it has been found impossible to collect from the addresses the. Customs charges to which all such gifts sent from abroad are liable in France at present. CHECK SPY EXODUS FROM GREAT BRITAIN A despatch from London says A closer check on possible spies is in- dicated in an official notice published in England to the effect that travelers from the United Kingdom to Scan- dinavian countries will not be permit- ted to leave this country on or after August 10th without special permit from the Home Office. This restric- tion applies to British subjects as well" as neutrals, with the exception of soldiers and sailors. NO COTTON RESOLD IN NEUTRAL PORTS A despatch from London says: - The Foreign Office denied a statement published recently that American cot- ton seized by the British authorities is being reshipped to be resold in neu- tral ports. FAKE PASSPORTS MADE IN BERLIN Germans Enter England as Citi- zens of U.S. and Switzerland. A despatch from London says: -It has been learned on high authority here that the British authorities have arrested a German subject who had In hes possession a forged* American passport, which the arrested man ad- mits is not genuine. The forged document had been compared with the original passport which was issu- ed to a bona -fide American citizen. The real passport, which was sent to London by the State Department at Washington, shows that the forgery is a dangerous imitation. The arrested man is understood to rave declared`"that the false passport was given to him in Antwerp by Capt. Schnitzer, a German secret service officer. The American State Depart Ment is said to have taken up the question with the German Govern- ment, as the imitation is so .clever that it constitutes a danger to Ameri- cans abroad, The real passport on which the bogus one is based was issued to an American business man who reached Germany March 24th and left that country April 8th. This mail was at his home with his pass- port when the holder of the false document was arrested in England. As a result of investigations by the United States Government, the State Department has instructed Ambassa- dor Gerard at Berlin to bring to the attention of the German Government evidence indicating that Germans have been engaged in forging Ameri- can passports and furnishing them tb German spies. - Stray Thoughts.

THE FARM. Too Many Corn Growers Take a Risk With Cheap Seed Corn. Bad germination in seed corn, com- bined with prolonged cold weather at time of planting, has -been the cause of much disappointment this season to ensilage growers. The seed corn growers of south-western Ontario were almost equally disappointed through being unable to find a market for their thoroughly -dried corn of strong vitality. Many samples were taken by seed inspectors and the in- vestigations . made indicate clearly that at least 75 per cent. of the cause eye for a poor stand can be traced to the ensilage growers buying low priced seed. Unfortunately high priced seed is - not always a guarantee of high qual- ity, but low priced seed is possible only with cern that has had no special care'in curing for seed. The farmer who gets $1.60 per bus. of 70 lbs. on the ear for corn taken out of his corn crib in the spring has more profit than the farmer who receives $2,50 a bus, of 70 lbs. on the ear for cornitlekt has been kiln -dried or, rack -dried :in•' special corn -drying buildings. If harvested in dry weather and kept in narrow cribs through the winter, the cheap corn may give a fairly satisfactory , stand of plants with thick seeding and good soil and weather conditions, But too many farmers have 'learned to their sorrow the very serious risk they take in using corn wintered .in this way.
