LONDON, March 3. On the banks of the Thames, less than twenty miles

from London, there Is an American

town of the mushroom kind such as

you might find in a new California oil

field. It population consists of more

than 200 white men and about 150 nc

groes. It covers thirty-five acres

which nine months ago were fallow

grass land. The business of the town

is to receive, sort and store war ma

terial. It is the great American sup

ply depot in England. There is a street of wooden huts,

another of corrugated iron huts, huge Iron store sheds a quarter of a mile long, office buildings, water supply and electric lights, the whole sur-

.rounded by a hedge, a few armed sen

tries and much mud. All day long the

knolu-clad negroes push and haul rail-

, Englishmen peer over the hedge and ask satirically if the United States doesn't know that the war is over. If they ask an offlcer for enlightenment about this strange camp, his explanation is something like this: "America came into the war with both feet, banking on at least three years of it, which was the safe thing to do. . Our government made contracts with British manufacturers to supply our army with tons of war material from a tin tack to a steam roller. The British factories built new plants and took on new hands to meet our needs, and deliveries were going smoothly when the armistice was signed. t Cancelled Few Orders. . "If we had stopped our contracts then some British firms might have been driven into bankruptcy, putting thousands of men out of work and leaving the factories with tons of useless material in their hands. So the United States government merely canveiled orders for material that had not been actually started on, and told the factories to go ahead with what they had in hand. ' "This place is the collecting station for that material. We are receiving tractors for guns, entrenching tols, thousands of yards of camouflage wire netting, stacks of asbestos roofing for hospitals, timber frames for

huts, wheelbarrows, shovels, nicaxea.

bolts, screws and a lot of other stud 'We are going to store it all here and sell it later on. It will all be useful, and we can wait for the market. The manufacturer couldn't have waited." War material coming back from Russia is being stored at this camp, also the fittings of the dismantled hospitals which the American army established in England. '

CELEBRATES FOURTH YEAR AS PASTOR

Dr. J. J. Rae, of the First Presbyterian church, celebrated his fourth year as pastor of that church yesterday. , The musical program given at the morning service included the "Festival Prelude" by Stebbins, an anthem, "In Heavenly Love" by Shelly, D'Every's "Canzone della Sera" for the organ, an organ postlude by Parkhurst, and "The Man of Gallilee", sung by Mrs. F. W. Kreuger. Before bis sermon Dr. Rae spoke briefly of his time in Richmond and thanked his congregation for their cooperation and understanding. Using for the main thought the fact that God created man in his own image he drew his sermon, "What God Thinks of Us" from the calls that God has given man thus imaged and the answers which He has received. He traced a number of great calls given men, using among other illustrations the calls of Abraham, David and Christ, and how each answered. At his vesper service Dr. Rae used as the subject of his serman "The Wide World and Woodrow Wilson," as viewed by a non-partisan. The annual meeting of the First Presbyterian church will be held on Thursday evening March 13, when reports will be presented and the work of the year reviewed. Next Sunday, March 9, the Sacrament of the Lord's nupper will be served at the morning service.

FIGKFORD INVOLVED IN. NAVY GRAFT

CHICAGO, March 3 Jack Pickford, the movie star,, brother of Mary Pickford, was discharged from the navy for complicity in the New York navy graft scandals involving wholesale bribery of naval officers by rich slackers who obtained thereby bombproof jobs In the war, says a Washington dispatch to the Tribune. Pickford, it was disclosed, was the go-between who arranged the transactions between Lieutenant Benjamin S. Davis and the "safety-first" men seeking enrollment in the naval reserve. Davis, who divided $10,000 bribe money with other officers, was dismissed and is now serving a three-year penitentiary sentence. Lieutenant Ellert, who is said to have received $20,000 In sums ranging from $50 to $1,500, and many presents from the slackers is awaiting court-martial. Chief Boatswain Lloyd G. Casey received $3,000 and presents for placing men on shore duty and Ensign Paul Beck, $1,000 for assigning men "to safe berths on shore." . Whether Pickford received any of the bribe money naval officers professed to be unable to say, but the navy department records show that he turned state's evidence in the Davis case and enabled the government to round up the bribe takers. The judge-advocate-general of the navy recommended that Pickford be disenrolled "as undesirable." On the same day, however, Joseph Tumulty, secretary to the President, interested himself in the affair, and the result was that Pickford received an "ordinary discharge." Mr. Tumulty said last night that he knew nothing of the graft case at tle time, and merely made an inquiry of the department on behalf of PIckford's mother.

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, March 3. More than twenty-nine thousand licensed drinking places in the six "wet" states of the Central West Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota,. Missouri,.- Kentucky and Ohio are to go out of existence in four months, if. America abolishes the liquor traffic, for the first time In history, under the President's war-time prohibition order. Millions of dollars worth of property used as distillers, breweries, saloons, wine rooms and roadhouses already has changed hands and is converted into new lines of industry, according to reports received here. Many small breweries, and a few large ones, have arranged to become manufactories, cold storage plants or artificial ice factories. In Wisconsin, which produces a Bixth of all beer brewed in America, one big brewery has disposed of its fixtures and sold Its kegs as "Liberty Cabbage" containers, v May Become Drug Stores. The two hundred Kentucky distillers claim their financial losses will far surpass those of brewers because location and peculiar construction of distilleries will not permit of easy conversion to other industries. Owners of isolated roadhouses, the rendezvous of , gay auto parties, claim that they too will suffer heavy financial losses. They say it would be impossible to draw patrons to out of the way places without liquor inducements. Wisconsin has 9,665 licensed drinking places, Illinois 8,418, Ohio 5,600, Missouri 3,000, Minnesota 1,800 and Kentucky 1,600. Ohio's saloons are expected to close May 27 under an amendment to the state constitution. Licensed drinking places in many states will be converted into soda shops, cafeterias, cafes, motion picture theaters, drug storse, haberdasheries and cozy soft drink, dancing emporiums. There will be a large increase in the number of drug stores, according to liquor dealers.
