I'liiiits Are Prepared,
This enormous amount from Ihe
coiiunorelal plants can be supplied
without interfering at all .seriously
with tho munition supplies of the
allies.
Uy tho end of March every Impor
tant contract of the allies will bo out
of tho way, and Iho plants will ho
able to concentrate on the orders for
tho United States army nnd navy.
Several concerns already have
cleaned up nlltliolr foreign contracts
and nro holding their plunts subject
to government orders.
Tho AVoMtlnghouso Airbrake com
pany, for example, has completed an
order for l,2."i0,00ll llrltlr.li H.L'il-lnrh'

equipment, which alone makes
largo scalo production possible. Their
capacity is calculated at 10,000 of
these, shells 11 day, or UT.0, 1)1)0 a

iWllhout reference to the regular
munition companies, such as llethlc
hem Stool, thero are several equip
ment companies, which within tho
month could begin (he manufncluro
of large shells, up to !i-lnch, for tho
United Slates, without seriously In
terfering with their present, contracts
for the allied nations. These Include
American Locomotive, American
llrakeshoe & Foundry, Ingersoll-
liand and a number of smaller com
panics. Their combined capacity Is
at tho very least 3,000,000 shells u
month.
Ileneflt of KYpi'ricnec,
The United Stales stands to reap
the benefit of Ihe two yours cxper
ienco which these companies have
gained from their foreign contracts.
It Is well known that thn early
attempts to' supply foreign require
ments and pass foreign tests by com
panies that had not previously man
ufactured shells were almost com
jilclo failures.
It was only after months of exper
iment and failure, and In many cases
the. practical ro-cquipmcnl of the
plants, that, the American foundries
and machine shine that went Into
the "shell game" without previous
experience were ;iHi to g.'t any of

Scandinavian newspapers are print

been lost, hut Is being used as a sup
ply ship In llei'iunny's blockade, In
formation which has hem lit posses
sion of Iho Associated I'ress in I!cr

actually went down on her first voy

Tho submarine) was not captured
by a Hritlsh patrol boat, as was rum
ored in tho United States but went
down in the great storms which wore
prevailing in the North Atlantic, ac
cording to this Information.
Tho date and circumstances of the
departure of tho submarine for the
United States were well known In
Derlin at the time anil there was 111
concealed anxiety on the part of the
owners of tho underwater merchant
man for news of her arrival as the
craft became increasingly overdue at
New London, Conn. Wlion a publish

out foundation, Director Phllipplkon
of tho company owning tho Uronieu.
told the Associated Press that he re
garded her as lost and sal.l the craft
probably foundered In the prernillng

It Is highly poasililo, howovor, that

MENACES NATION'S PEACE
COPENHAGEN, Feb. 23. A large
sign In a tourist office here reads:
"Safest uiutu to America via the.
Trans-Siberian railroad, tickets for
sale here.'1
Tho sign Is attracting Ihe attention
of a large number of. Americans in
Copenhagen, who have been waiting
for several weeks for an opportunity
to return to the United Slates.
A trip from Denmark to New York
by way of tho Trans-Siberian railroad
would cover more than lu.boo miles.
Tho journey would be from Copen

Russia and Siberia to Vladivostok
thence by way of Japan across the
Pacific and thence ncross the Amer

for Women
For Forty Years Lydia E. Pinkliam's
Vegetable Compound has Relieved
the Sufferings of Women.
It hardly seems possible that tliere is a woman in this
country who continues to suffer without giving Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial after all the evi
dence that is continually being published, proving beyond
contradiction that this grand old medicine has relieved
more suffering among women than any other medicine in
the world.
