BRITISH YARDS ARE DELIVERING SHIPS WHOLESALE

Great Plants on English Rivers Making Many Bottoms at Yards. GLASGOW, Aug. 30. (Mall.) On the hull of a big ship being built In one of tho many yards that line the river banks of Scotland and northwest England, a workman has written with chalk in bold letters six feet high five words that express the determination of British shipbuilders to "do their bit" toward defeating the German submarines. The five words are these: "We Will Deliver the Ships." A staff correspondent of The Associated Press has just completed a trip through the principal'iyards of the Rivers Tees, Tyne. Wear and Clyde as the guest of the foreign office and the admiralty. The purpose of the journey was to permit the Kathering of Information regarding Great Britain's efforts which could be transmitted to the people of the United States. Are Being Delivered. Great Britain not only will deliver; they are being delivered now dozens of them, scores of them, even hundreds of them. Of the tour principal shipbuilding rivers of the country every available toot of adjoining land hns a ship more or less completed over It Nearby engine works are turning out motive power for the vessels at a tre- j mendous rate. Ship builders or various sorts men, women, boys, girls all are working at top speed to beat the Germans. The rivers are overhung with smoke; blast furnaces are glowing everywhere; streaks of red go back and forth in the rolling mills and through It all on these busy rivers there Is a roar of automatic riveters, the clash of sledges on steel plates and the throbbing of ponderous machines that punch holes in plates an Inch thick which at times truly Is deafening. So great Is this noise at many places on the banks of the Clyde that to talk it is necessary - to place mouth to ear. Ships Are 'Mysteries.'' Just now the builders of ships are rushing through work on countless destroyers, cruisers, other naval ships that must remain for the present as "mysteries." They too. are working at a tremendous rate completing merchant ships, of which there appear to be hundreds. Some are large and some are small. Some are being built for private ownership, some for the government. Especially fast work is being done on the marchant ships as the government and the builders are anxious to increase British tonnage by building standard vessels, of which many are even now under construction many having been launched. . These standard ships, builders ,azree, will greatly enlarge the output f tonnage. In the first place, it was pointed out, construction has been simplified, all parts of hulls and engines are standardized and' may be used where first needed. : Heretofore, for instance 35 sizes of steel sections were used in the construction of ordinary ships. The standards, as they are called, have been named after flowers, the word war preceding the name of the flower, such as "war rose." "war thistle," "war noppy." But for the name it would, be imnossible to tell that they are standards. Look Like Others. They look just like tho ordinary cargo carrying vessel; not so much superstructure and wide decks npon which a heavy load may be carried. Their engines are powerful enough to drive them through the sens at h rate silently over that of the ordinary cargo carrier. And thy all win he well armed when they set out. tu bring ma terial and supplies to the Britten Isles from foreign countries. It is quite possible that within tna next few months every port lu the United States will have jtseen one or more of these standards, for some of them already are in the water and making ready to perform the duties that have been cut out for them. The Germans during the early days of the war tried thtr best, to destroy the yards of the Tees end the Tyne and th Wear. In one shop behind a mns of roaring machinery there is a Mk brass plate, which was placed there by the companv in honor of more than a score of employes who Kave tip their lives on the spot when a Zeppelin bomb crashed through the roof and exploded. On any .river. they will point out to the visitor where bombs from the Zeppelins have dropped before the British did awsy with the menace, at least in that section of the country. The Zeonelins don't even try to reach the vards any more. Tt would be suicide for them to make the attempt. 0EERF00T SPENCER DIES OF INJURIES CHAMPAGNE. Ills., Sept. 14. Ray Spencer.

STRIKERS CONFER WITH GOV, LOVDEN SPRINGFIELD. 111., Sept. 14. In an effort to settle the strike here, involving approximately 8,000 men and wom en and a score of trades, Gov. Lowden this morning called into conference members of the general strike commit tee.

Send "The Makin's" to Sammy

You, Mr. Smoker! How many times have you been almost willing to rob a bank to get a match, that you might enjoy a smoke. And this was only for the lack of a match, which was easily supplied. Think, then, of the American soldier boys, fighting in France, many of whom are right now seeking the soothing erfects of a "tailor-made" or whose fingers have a longing to "roll one." You may not have a friend or acquaintance among that brave 100,000 men wno are now waiting to fight the battles of their country, but there are hundreds of boys who are Just as important to the working of Uncle Sam's forces as those who have many loved ones here to send them such gifts, but who have no one on this side who "cares." Almost Twice as Much. These boys cannot be singled out by the individual and sent gifts, but the Palladium, with the American Tobacco company, can send Tobacco Kits to all of the soldiers, and for the same amount of money, you can be instrumental in giving some of "Our Boys" almost twice as much "tobacco" comfort as you could in any other way, and at the same time be sure of reaching a soldier. On each box is a request that tha recipient acknowledge the receipt of the tobacco by using a postcard enclosed in the, kit, which is addressed to the contributor of the quarter. Send some soldier boys a lot of comfort by contributing to the Palladium Tobacco Fund. MUNCIE MAYOR MAY SELL COAL MUNCIE. Ind., Sept. 14. Mayor Rolln Bunch has contracted for a large amount of coal to be sold to citizens of Muncle at a reduced rate. Whether the city official will sell the coal or not has not been decided for perhaps the council will refuse to appropriate money to carry out the mayor's plans, as it did last year. However, the mayor has announced that he will personally bring the coal into the city and sell it at cost of the council does not take up the matter officially.

Germany Had Strings on Swedish Minister in Mexico

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14. How Germany's secret practice of using Sweden's diplomatic service for transmitting forbidden communications between German agents and the Berlin foreign office, prevailed. in Mexico as well as In Argentina, is revealed In a document published by the state department, which passed between the celebrated Herr Von Eckhardt, Germau minister in Mexico, and the chancellor. It discloses how Folke Cronholm, charge of the Swedish legation to Mexico, practically acted as a messenger boy for Von Eckhardt personally transmuting us his legation's own dispatches, messages for the German legation, even going to the point of delivering them personally at the telegraph office, and how Von Eckhardt recommended that a decoration be secretly bestowed upon Cronholm for his services. Hints of More. As an added chapter to the story of the recently revealed intrigue in Argentina the disclosure gives a hint of the nature of the evidence In this government's possession of Germany's illegitimate use of neutral diplomats. The full extent of this evidence may MILTON, IND. i The Milton Christian church will holds its annual rally and home-coming the last Sunday in September.

EVANSVILLE HAS LOCAL COAL YARD EVANSVILLE, Ind., Sept. 14 Coal at 14 4 cents per bushel, 1 cents under the price asked by private dealers, will be offered for sale In Evansville by the municipal coal yard which is to be opened Saturday. The price I is fixed on the basis of $2.20 a ton set by the government for supplies of bituminous coal at the mines. Orders will be filled in the order of their receipt at the coal yards. ANNUAL HOLD-UP OF OKLAHOMA TOWN ARDMORE, Okla., Sept. 14. The hank at Elmore, Okla. was robbed early today by six masked bandits, part of whom drove the townspeople indoors while others wrecked the safe. Only a small sum was obtained. The bank has been robbed six times within the last six years. never be published, but it is known to be complete and this government's action in making some of it public is not felt to be directed so much at Sweden as toward further informing the world at large of Germany's practices. It does, however, raise some speculation as to how the Stockholm foreign office will explain it. Stockholm has declared that Baron Lowden, Swedish minister to Argentina, transmitted messages for Count Luxburg, the German charge there, without knowing their contents. Whether the same defense will be made for Cronholm is not known; he no longer is in the Swedish diplomatic service. The interesting point, in the minds of officials and diplomats here, is how much the Stockholm foreign office knew of the affair. Von Eckhardt's letter to the German chancellor recounting the extent to which Cronholm used Sweden's diplomatic privileges for German and his recommendation of an imperial decoration for him is regarded by allied diplomats here as further evidence of their charge that Germany has distributed decorations among the diplomats of friendly neutrals for such services probably in other instances.

'Savage' Troops Pledged Not . to Attack Kerensky Forces

VILLAGE OF POPOVO, Near Tsars-koe-Selo, Russia, Thursday, Sept. 13 Having obtained the only permit issued by the chief of the Petrograd district staff to a newspaperman since the beginning of General Korniloffs revolt, The Associated Press correspondent early this morning arrived at this village, which is the headquarters of the staff of a rifle regiment of the guard which, with two other rifled regiments, is engaged in holding the front opposite the famous Savapa division.The situation here is as follows: "Although all danger 'of an armed struggle Is now excluded, the "Savage" division Btill is not agreed to surrender on the terms granted by the provisional government last night but It has formally pledged itself not to attack the Kerensky forces. With its artillery and machine gun detachments the division which is composed of tribesmen from the Caucasus is quartered peacefully in villages south of this place without entrenchments, outposts, sentries or reconnoitering detachments. Prospect of Settlement. Passing within forty yards of the Popovo church are the governmental lines but the Kerensky forces also have no intention of attacking as negotiations are proceeding; and there is a prospect of a settlement being reached before nightfall. Russian emissaries and officers constantly are passing into the camp of the Caucasians carrying proclamations signed by Gen. Filopenko. the supreme commissioner, advising the troops of the "savage" division to abandon their officers and to march to Tsarskoe-Selo; likewise tribesmen from the division all the time are coming into Popovo with plans for a settlement Position Is Hopeless. When the correspondent arrived he found one such emissary, a Russian, serving in the artillery of the division, who announced that the Caucasian j knew their position was hopeless a3 the artillery and machine gun units which are largely Russian, are progovernment and without them the cavalrymen would be helpless. During the conversation a tribesman of the Christianized Alhasets race, named Karaidse, was brought in. Ha will be held as a hostage by the government authorities until their negotiators with the Caucasians have safely returned. Karaidse presented a striking picture. He was dressed in a long frieze captan, a shaggy sheepskin biernmeus and a lambskin busby, was armed with a broad bone-handled, silver inlaid dagger and wore a necklace of black and white horsehair rings. He assured the correspondent that the hund reds of his tribesmen in the division were entirely peaceful and as proof of this he pointed to four small scars on his face, saying he got them in childhood as his parents, who were great local dignitaries, gave all their malo

The "savage" division yesterday sent a message to the government saying that though they might obey the order to march against the Kerensky troops they would not fire a shot From the Popovo church tower the correspondent inspected the camp of the. Caucasians situated a half mile distance. There was no sign whatever of war. Only horsemen everywhere scampering excitedly and innumerable bonfires could be seen.
