MOHAMMEDANS TRY TO INVADE INDIA

SIMLA, India, April 22. Turkey's call for a "holy war" is bearing fruit. Official announcement was made today that a force of Mohammedan troops tried to invade India from the Afghanistan frontier on April 18! The Mohammedans were driven back with a loss of 150 men. The official statement follows: "On April 18 a Mohammedan force estimated to number four thousand men, advanced to Hafiz Kor, five miles northwest of Shabkadz. with the intention of attacking British territory. These soldiers were fired upon by our patrols in Kahabar Pass." "A column moved out in the afternoon and successfully engaged the enemy, killing and wounding 150. The enemy then withdrew and is reported dispersing. "Sir George Rooskeppel received many offers of assistance from leaders of the Peshawar district. The more influential chiefs refused to countenance the movement and Afghan officials effectually restrained the Mohammedans of Afghanistan from joining it."

JAPANESE ARE PEEVED AT TURTLE BAY PROBE

TOKIO, April 22. While Japanese newspapers were inclined at first to treat as a joke reports that the United States was disturbed over rumors that Japan was trying to establish a aaval base at Turtle Bay, they changed their attitude today. One came out with a pointed editorial declaring that Admiral Howard's action in sending a warship to Turtle Bay to investigate showed a "gratuitous and unwarranted suspicion of the motives of a friendly navy."

In the meantime, rapid headway has been made by the linotype operators and the "ad" setters. The "ads," unless belated, are in the forms before the regular reading matter. As the editor directs, the spaces about the "ads" are filled up. While this is being done the proofs are be

As fast as each page is closed in f his manner it is rolled into the next J'oorn to the stereotypers. Here muscular, perspiring men shove the table bearing it against the mat rolling machine and slip the form over on the machine's smooth sliding table. On H'op of the metal is laid a damp sheet, j.tnown as the "mat," comprising layers of blotting and tissue paper pasted together. It is covered with a thick sheet of felt and then the motor-driven mechanism of the machine slides back

and forth, under a heavy roller which after

blanket is removed and another placed over the mat. Next comes the drying of the mat. This is done by sliding the form and mat together on to one of the two steam tables, sizzling hot from 90 to 100 pounds of steam pressure, generated by gas under a boiler attached to the drying table. A heavy plate is brought down on top of the mat and form so that in drying under the high heat the impression of the mat will not be changed. The drying requires only about four minutes. Then the pressure is released, the mat taken off the form, and the form slid back on its original table to be unlocked, the type to be distributed and the metal thrown into the "hell box" and later remelted for the linotypes. Pot Contains Metal. Near the steam table is a huge pot in which 5,000 pounds of a composition of molten lead, tin and antimony is smoking over a furnace. On one side of the pot is a spout, through which the molten metal is pumped into the casting boxes, in which semicylindrical plates for the press are to be

The mat, its fibers thorough

ly dried and hardened, is bent into semicylindrical shape and fastened into the mold. The stereotyper pulls a lever and a flood of metal pours into the half-inch space between the mat and the 'smooth face of the inner cylinder. In a few moments the metal is solid, and the mold, which is waterjacketed in order to "set" the plate quickly, is opened. A half-cylindrical plate with the impression of a full page on the outer surface is the result. The ends of the plates are cut off, the edges trimmed, the inner surface shaved to fit the press cylinders and the plate is cooled. Plate after plate is turned out in this fashion as rapidly as the forms

are closed, and within a few minutes

the foreman has released the

Ink rollers have all been delicately adjusted to feed just the right amount of ink, knives have been set to cut the rushing sheet in exactly the right place, and the mechanism of the folding machine has been adjusted to put the , sheets together and fold them properly. The powerful electric motor which drives all this mass of wheels and rollers and shafts is controlled by a lever. When the paper has' been started and slow movement of the press has shown that everything is in readiness, the man at the station advances the current gradually. The press begins to hum with the noise of whirring wheels. The stream of white paper gathers speed in its winding flight

among the rollers. In front the carriers and newsboys are ready. The men in the mailing room are poised

for action. As full speed is reached the press voices a roar that drowns all other sounds and the finished newspapers are piled high as they are ground out at the rate of 23,000 per hour. "The black art" has worked its magic. Sprinkler System. Automatic sprinklers and the latest features to safeguard the building from fire have been installed. Should a fire break out, the nearest sprinkler head melts and a stream of water is released. At the same moment the alarm is sounded at fire headquarters calling the department to the building. Pyrine hand fire extinguishers also are distributed throughout the building.
