GERMANS FIRE "MADE
in y. s;
it
Shells Claimed To Have Been
Shipped to Germany Be
fore War Began
By William a. Shepherd.
(Copyright 1913 by the United States
Press; copyrighted in Great Britaiu)
Headquarters of the British Army,
Northern France, April 14. The Ger
mans are firing shells marked "made
in the United States" against the
British. They have been doing so ever
since the American military attaches
were withdrawn from Germany.
It is generally understood that the
American attaches were withdrawn be
cause the Germans repeatedly called to
their attention the fact that the Rus
sians were using American shells. The
situation became so embarrassing to
the nttnehes that thev found it neces
sary to leave. Then, almost as soon as
the attaches had departed from Ger
many, British officers noted that the
Germans were using shells apparently
of American manufacture. Thev bear
tho mark of "R. Stock and Co."
There is a sufficiently large collec
tion of these shells at British head
quarters to establish tho fact that the
Germans possessed a considerable
supply of the supposed American nm-
munition. Whether they arc using the
shells so as to indicate to the English
tnnt their navy is not preventing the
shipment of ammunition from the
United States to Germany, or with the
Intention of creating criticism of the
United States in England, are ques
tions as yet unsolved.
There is no doubt that the shipment
of ammunition from tho United Stutes
uorinany cnueu almost as soon as
the war started, owing to the activity
of the English fleet. The shells the
Germans are using were, ' therefore,
cither sold to Germany before the war
or were not made in tho United States
at nll uut have been talsely labeled.

COLONIES WILL BE
CONSULTED BY CABINET
Peace Rumors Uppermost In
British Mind As Parlia
ment Convenes
(By Wilbur 8. Forre.st, United Press
Staff Correspondent.)
Lond.i:i, April 14. Prohibition will
not be ordered by the British cabinet.
After several conferences the ministry
decided that the question of prohibiting
the sale of intoxicants should bo loft
to the people for action through the
house of commons.
This announcement was made today
by Premier Aaquith when parliament
convened In what may prove to be one
of the most important sessions of the
war.
As the two houses met for their de
liberations the liqunr question and ru
mors of an early peace which are now
being circulated were uppermost in the
public mind. No sooner hnd the house
of commons formally convened than a
query was nddreuscd to the premier as
to the 'decision reached by the cabinet
on the liqueur quesnhm. Asquith replied
tnnt tne ministry hud concluded that
tUe commons, and not the government,
shoui.l decide such a vital mutter.
Lewis llnieourt, secretory to th"
colonies, intimated in tho house of com
mons that the government would con
sult Canada ami other self-governing
colonics of the British oinniin when t!.,.
tune arrives to discuss peace. The hi.
tiiitatiou that the British eolonies
wl.i.-n are aiding the mother
g the mother count rv 1
in the wttr will have a lnirt in ,h:iwi.iir 1
up peace terms was made in response
to the question as to tho consideration
that was to be shown tho over-seas
lui'sessions. Jlateouit ileebire.l he h:i,l
no observations to umbo as to the prob
ability of nu early peace.
In the statement which f,or. Kitch
ener will make before the lord the
war is expected to lay special stress
upon the absolute necessity of action
which will guarantee a greater produc
tion of war supplies, it is expected. As
intemperance is held to lie one of the
principal causes lor the failure of the
Ktijlisb workmen to produce tho nee-led
supplies. Kitchener is expected to urge
stringent mon-iires lor control of the
liquor traffic. Xot upon the army in
the field but upon the home unity will
be laid the responsibility for the pres
ent situation in France uud Belgium,
where the Germans still hold their
tr. iies upon allied soil.
With the annnineement from Walter
Utiiiciinan, president of the board of
trad-, that :i.l.ini(l Knglisli women have
offered their services for work in fac
tories or in any other pursuits to which
they might be assigned, thete was a
demand today that the i of the na
tion rise to the emergency which the
country faces.
T'e sessii.a convening today was dis
finely a "war session." Men in
khalii, fresh from the trenches, were to
be reeli in the corridors and on the
floor.
T'i; reports from l.ot.l Kitchener
and Chancellor l,Iov,-Ge,n g, went
liwaitcd with the greatest interest. It
was icemed eertuin that the nniMiiinco
meats fiun these ministers would de
tfrniinu the action that tuny be taken
on the prohibition question.

began un iiuotiagtion ut the startling
fluctuations in Bethlehem steel, com
mon which jumped :il points yesterday.
There is u general belief in Wall
street that the battle for the control for
the corporation is being waged between
big interests. It is rumored that a
British syndicate which manufacturers
most of the war supplies for the allies
is in the field making a strong fight
f..r the coiitr..lliug interest. In spite of
the sudden rise of the common Mock no
dividends are being pnid by tho corpor
ation, it wa learned today.
Bethlehem common again featured
the market to.iay. Opening at U's. the
stock advanced steadily to 1411 and then
to 145. By the first hour, however, It
had dropp.'.! bock to I.'ID. Although
fluctuating from this mark to as high
