AMERICAN CITY IN FRANCE.
Gigantic Construction Camp Which
Will Turn. Out 20. Locomotives, a
Bay Built in a Year.
American Port, Western France.
Aug. 20 (Correspondence of The As
sociated Press)?There is the crash
and bang of a great cannonade, like a
battery of trench mortars in action.
But this is not the cannonade of the
battle front one hears here, but an
other kind of. cannonade, almost as
fierce and ear-splitting, of trip-ham
mers, giant sledges and electric rivet
ters in the gigantic American con
struction camp which has suddenly
sprung into 'existence here.
^ Standing in "the vast workshops,
about:* the dimensions of the capitol
in Washington, with the throb of a
great work going on inside and miles
of activity stretching away outside in
railway yards, warehouses, docks a nd
camps, one feels this is after all quite
as essential a part in the winning of
the war as the struggle going on fur
th.er forward; for here is the very
foundation head of material for win
ning, the war. There are great 320
millimetre cannon like the 12-inch
monsters, on American battleships,
with al their ponderous mountings
and trucks, huge, 90-ton locomotives
which are turned out with the incred
ible speed of six' to ten a day, exceed
ing the output of the great establish
ments in America, and flat cars,
freight" cars, box cars, tank cars, and
all,the other forms of railway trans
portation turned out by scores and
hundreds daity as\a baker turns out
cakes fronr his ovens.
What has been most astonishing to
the. European observer is that all this
vast storehouse of American energy
and production could.be created in a
few raonths out of practically noth-j
ing.^ Last f?ll the site of this pres
ent plant was_a vast marsh with the
sea water over, it at high tide. It was
necessary first to raise the level of the
ground five to nine feet This was
a huge engineering undertaking in
' itself. When it was done, instead of
a marsh, with the*sea lapping it, the
'astonished townspeople saw a high
and- level plane adjacent to the city,
with big ocea"h piers beginning to
stretch" out-seaward for the incoming
migration of American men and ma
terials* Soon thereafter rose like
magic the hur;e buildings to carry on
the. infinite, diversity of activities of
this hive of war industry.
Uhcfer the escort of Baron Domes,
one ot the chief French officials con
nected! with the institution, the Asso
ciated Press correspondent had an
opportunity today to see the-huge en
terprise in full swing. It was like go
ing ihrqugh the' Bethlehem Dr Car
negie works, with the same roar of
production on a giant scale, with fur
naces glowing,. hammers and riveters
beating, and armies of workmen?en
listed. American, soldiers in their blue
jeans and overalls?rin their many
branches of work, inside tlje main
; building was. like being inside the
Pejonsylyanla railway station in New
~~YerTk, enlarged several times over:
"There'are 1,400 men at work
here," explained: the Baron, "all of
them skilled "American mechanics en
listed as soldiers, woiking in three
shifts, continuously for 24 hours.*"
Tfo.. the. left big trench mortars
weighing a hundred tons each were
being picked up by the giant fingers
of a. derrick and landed on their train
of trucks ready to be moved forward
to the front To the right -another
huge crane was bodily picking up a
locomotive and passing it around to
its. proper place. These locomotives
come from the United States in parts
packed in crates Looking at the long
rows of these giant crates, they seem
ed to be streets of cottages or shacks:
and one wondered how they could ev
er be brought across the ocean with
all- the shifts and storing between
docks.
We watched one of these locomo
tives as it-was taken from its seven
giant, boxes, and gradually grew- into
a. massive engine. Soon thereafter
this locomotive was moving through
the yards on its own /Steam, and soon
after that it was on its way to reequip
the State Railway of France, which is
one of the vital, links of the war game.
First of all the American double track J
road up to the front was equipped;}
and then the French State Railway]
took its turn, for they are all a part,
of the net work of feeders for the Al
lied war service.
"We turn out six to ten complete
locomotives a day," said the Baron,
"and-by September it will be 20 a day,
the largest construction of the kind
in the world.
Now the Baron led the way to some
of the detailed processes of the huge
plant. Here was tt\e boiler-testing
plant. Steam was. up and the big
boilers were being tested after their
voyage across the ocean to see if the
sea water had opened any joints or
loosened rivets. It was surprising,
said the Baron, how well they stood
the voyage with no loosening of parts,
and practically perfect when they ar
rived.
Besides the industry of such a huge
concern, there is besides, the equip
ment of living quarters for the army
of workmen-soldiers. Thus a good
sired city has sprung up, with avenues
and streets lined with barracks, mess
rooms, canteens, barber shops, den
tists office, baths, and all the activi
itsc of a flourishing frontier town..
Beyond the shops and barracks are
the great stretches of railway tracks
ami sidings, for this 's the first step in
the intricate system of transportation
by which American troops and sup
plies are moved to the front When
the Americans came here there were
two tracks; now there is a network
of 21 tracks. Hundreds of Ameri
can engines and cars were moving
ever these lines as we went through
the yards today, and some 40 newly
completed locomotives just turned out
at the near-by shops were starting
on their way. And as these went
out. long trains were bringing in more
of the huge crates with the bodies
and wheels and boilers, soon to be put
together in this steady stream of vast
war construction.
Passing headquarters, word had
ju^ come by telephone that the Ger
man- offensive had begun on an 80
kilometre front. Soon it passed from
shop to shop, and the whole establish
ment was stirred and stimulated, (.of
ficers <tnd men beamed at the thought
that the fight was on. writh a feeling of
confidence that knew no such thing
i as failure, and a feeling also that
. these soldier-workmen in their, over
alls were doing their part in win
ning the fight.
ALLIES IX ASIA.
Situation Full of Danger, as Turks,
Tartars and- North Persians Are
Pro-Gernians.
Peking, June 14 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press)?The politi
cal situation in the Caucasus is full of
danger for the Entente Allies accord
ing to E. A. Yarrow, chairman of the
American committee for Armenian
and Syian relief, who arrived in Pe
king from Tiflis recently.
From Batounv to the British front
in southern Persia the only force op
posed to any German-Turkish ad
vance, he said, is a comparatively
small number of Armenians with
limited supplies of food and ammu
nition cut off from all communication
with the Allies. On the other ha.nO
all the Tartars are loyal to Turkey
and Germany. The Northern portion
of Persia, he declared, is pro-Germar
and these elements are ready to take
a hand in the war if equipment and
leaders can be furnished them
There is a possibility of this German
sympathy extending to Turkestan and
Afganistan.
In the Caucasus and northern Per
sia, Mr. Yarrow says, the Germans
could mobilize at least a million men
and while they are not especially good
fighters they could greatly embarrass
the English in southern Persia and
Mesopotamia. Two. ways are open
to combat this menace, namely,
strong pressure in Persia and Meso
potamia, and the more remote pos
sibility of strikmg the enemy
through Siberia.
"The Germans have the Caucasus
and southern Russia," Yarrow con
tinued, "and are pressing on with al j
.sorts of enterprises and making con-j
quests which require little or no mil
itary force. As they go on they are
picking up their war prisoners com
patriots and under one guise or an
other getting them armed so as tc
cooperate, when the time comes.
The Mohammedan races in that re
gion are getting the idea that the
! German arms are invincible. There
i is ceaseless activity of German agents
: among them pressing this view upor
them, and if events follow logically
as they have begun it seems almost
certain; that the Allies will have a
most difficult situation to deal with."
Mr. Yarrow described condition,
obtaining at the time of his depar
ture, about the middle of March, as
follows: All communication to Per
sia had been cut by the local Tartars
The railroad south of Ervan had not
been in operation for several months
Officers of the Turkish army were
working in this section training the
Tartars.
The railroad from Tiflis to Bakv
was entirely in the hands.of the Tar
tars^ and.-they permitted.; only.an oc
casional train to pass and that sub
ject to the most rigid j search at sta
tions enroute. From 'the train fol
lowing that on which the' Yarrow
oarty came out nine non-combatant
Englishmen were taken, at Elizabe
topol and although Yarrow remain
ed in Baku ten days they had not
been released.
On the Turkish front to the wes'
there was considerable activity. Af
ter the fall of Trebizond, Erzerum
and Kars the only way out from
Baku was over the Georgian. Past
from Tiflis to Vladikavakaz by auto- I
mobile and this was becoming uncer- J
tain because of the approach of Ger- j
mans from Rostov. The American
consul, Smith, remained in Tiflis and
.expected to hold on as long as pos-j
sible.
One in Every Home.
America is still a nation of L^mes.
: The ideals which were established in
j these homes are the ideals which have
moved her to draw her sword against
the German menace. A father, or a
son, or a" brother, from many an
American home, is now over there in
the battle pit rr braving the peril ol
the seas, and chose who are left be
hind have trenches of their own to
hold.
The book which can do more to
bolster up and sustain this spirit tc
see it through, is Gerard's book, My
Four Years in Germany, whose great
mission is to warn and inform Amer
ican Public Opinion, which is made
up of every man, woman and child in
America, of the lurking treachery ol
Germany?formerly when the honor
of our country was at stake, now.
while we are in a desperate but vic
torious conflict against German au
tocracy, and later on, when the Hun
begins to cast about for favorable
terms of peace.
This book is the only one that can
be written about this phase of our re
lations with Germany. Other coun
tries may-deal with the same crisis,
but no other man but Gerard will ev
er be able to say of personal knowl
edge just what passed between Ger
ard and the Kaiser. Backed up by
documents that Germany never in
tended to be made public, based upon
knowledge that only Mr. Gerard could
possess, this picture of the German
government from the inside becomes
historic, of tremendous importance to
every man and woman wno would
(know the truth and stand loyally be
hind our government.
That a copy of this book should go
into every home is what Ambassador
Gerard and the publishers had in
mind when they arranged for the is
sue of the new. special edition of My
Four Years in Germany?the most vi
tal book of our times?at a very
nominal price. This new edition pub
lished by G?sset & Dunlap is now on
sab- at the book stores everywhere.

Under order of the government publishers ate not permitted
to send newspapers to subscribers who have not paid- their sub
scriptions in advance. This order goes into effect October 1st
and we are required to discontinue all papers sent to subscribers
who are in arrears. This order is mandatory and no exceptions
can be mad i. Qmerefore, on October 1st all papers will be dis
continued for which the subscription has not been paid up to or
beyond October 1st.
The date to which the subscription has been paid is indicated
on the label of each individual subscriber, and every subscriber
is requested to inspect the label on his paper and ascertain the
date of his subscription expiration. If anyone finds that he is
in arrears he is. asked to promptly- remit in payment of the
amount due for subscription aud? for one year :n advance at the
rate of One Dollar and Fifty cents. ($1.50) per year;
We do not wish to discontinue a single subscriber, and we
ask that each and every one will remit by mail or call at the
office and settle the account due! for past subscription and make
payment for a year in advance,' as required by the Government
order. Many of our subscrbers have 'been in our mailing list
for almost a life-time and have paid their subscription at their
convenience, sometimes the.payments being made at intervals
'of several years, but the Government has forbidden this prac
tice, which has been mutually agreeable, and we are now forc
ed to put our subscription list on a strictly cash in advance ba
sis. We hope that our readers will cooperate with us in carry
ing our the order/and that we shall not have to discontinue any
of our subscribers. ^
The country is generally more.prosperous and money is more
pentiful than ever before, consequently it will be no hardship
for any of our subscribers to-pay-the amount due us. We have
carried the accounts of hundreds; of subscribers year after year,
in hard times, when money was" scarce, and now that we are re
quired to enforce the. cash in advance rule, we feel assured that
our readers will reciprocate by making settlement before Oc

tion, and a large number of farmers
of this county at a mass meeting hi
Sumter on August 20th. Mr. L. Di
Jennings of Sumter introduced the
resolutions after a strong and elo
quent appeal to the farmers of Sum

acreage and increase their food croji
acreages to a minimum of fifty per
^ent. as a patriotic war measure to
help our government and their allies
to "win the war.
The resolutions request that everj
committeeman or other representa

Food Administration will take and re
port the name of, every farmer refus
ing to sign a pledge card in order thai
the names of all who refuse to re
duce their cotton acreages and plant
at least fifty per cent of their land in
food crops may be recorded in ac
cordance with that portion of the res-;
o*lution, unanimously adopted' as "vr'aJ,
the entire resolution, and by a stand
ing vote as follows:
"And that a committee be selected
to serve in each school district in
Sumter county, to organize the farm
ers and give" them the opportunity to
sign a pledge to plant at' least rifty
per cent of all land planted in 1919
.'n foodstuffs, and that this commit
tee be directed to secure the names
: of all farmers who refuse to sign such
a pledge, and that such names be giv
en full publicity by publishing the
same in the newspapers and other
wise, so that the people may know
~who among our'farmers are not loy
ally supporting our country in this its
hour of need."
All committeemen and others hav

to send the signed' cards; together
with the full names and addresses of
; -all who refuse to sign these pledge
'cards to E: L Reardon, Managing Sec
retary of ythe Sumter. Chamber of

SHOP BUILDING.
A Many Sided Task Requiring Thou
sands of Skilled. Workmen.
Washington, Sept. 1.?Shipbuild
ing, the many-sided task in which
much of America's mechanical gen
ius is today engaged as a part of the
war program, requires mechanics
skilled in more than thirty trades be
sides an army of unskilled workers.
With a gigantic building program
ahead, a vast force is employed
in this phase of war work. To
day 300,000^ men are at work in the
shipyards, with 250,000 engaged in
trades that provide material for the
shipbuilders.
Here are the skilled workers who
are doing the work on the steel ship:
'hipfitters, blacksmiths, rivetters,
chippers and calkers, drillers, plum
bers, pipefitters, machinists, joiners,
carpenters, pattern makers, foundry
nien, coppersmiths, heavy forgers,
steel/metal workers, furnace men,
shearers, punchers, anglesmiths, ship
wrights, riggers,; flangers, drop forg
ers, erectors; bolters-up, cane opera
tors, locomotive e^ineers, firemen,
loftsmen, painters and helpers in all
these trades.
Sixty per cent of the work on a
'diip is in constructing the hull, and
the remaining forty percent is install
ing mechanical parts, deck furnish
ings and other equipment that goes
to make the finished vessel. ?
Obviously, it is almost impossible
to single out one craft that is the
most important. All contribute in
making the. finished product and
without any one no complete ship
could result. Loftsmen, however,
play a great part.
Ship plans are first made in a
drafting room on a small scale. Go
ing to the mould loft?a large build
ing with a smooth floor of sufficient
size to have drawn upon it the plans
of the ship to full size?the' loftsmen
fashion the templates or moulds of
light wood or paper from which- the
steel for the Hull can be laid off and
marked for shearing, punching, plan
ning and other operations.
/ The moulds are made from three
plans that give shape to the ship.
These plans, showing the lines of a
vessel are the sheer plan or side ele
vation, the half breadth plan and the
body plan or end elevation. The
body plan is most used in making the
moulds, for it shows better the shape
of each frame, beam and floor plate, j
The moulds must be absolutely cor
rect so that they will join together)
properly.
The shipfitter is probably the one
metal worker whose trade may be
termed purely a shipbuilding trade.
He marks off the stee: material for I
the parts of the vessel's hull; by fit
ing the loftman's mould' over the
steel. Drillers also play a big part]
in the drilling and reaming of holes.
They are necessary because the rivet
holes being punched in shop- do notj
always coincide despite careful" work,-'
I manship. In some cases also holes)
must be drilled on the ship. The tin
I evenness between holes is removed by?]
reaming* which is merely a slight en
largement.
Rivetters do perhaps the most spec
tacular work, the rat-a-tat-tat of|
their pneumatic tools having a fasci
nation reminiscent of the anvib of the
village blacksmith. Rivetting holds
I the ship together, and a ship's plans
specify every rivet, for each has a
certain function. Chippers and calk
ers trim off or smooth the edges of j
plates, castings and other parts and
make them water tight. Shipwrights]
install wooden decks, masts, spars
and booms. Other ship woodwork is]
done by joiners.
Ventilation, piping and light met
al work is done largely in shop: by
slieet metal workers. Plumbing and
piping also is done in shop by plumb
ers, machinists and pipefitters.
Shop work on the hull proper is
done by workmen operating shears^
punches, bending rolls, planers and
other machines and the frame bend
ers, acetylene burners, furnace men
and angle-smiths who perform the
preparatory work to the erection of
plates, brackets,* clips, beams, bulk
heads and parts required for the hull
of a ship.
Who Did the Hitting?
/
Mrs. Mamie Davis filed suit'against
JT. A. Padgitt for $5,000, says a San
Francisco dispatch, setting forth in
her complaint that whi,ie. autolng
with Padgitt a tire blew out, the car
capsized and she "came in violent
contact with: the road."
In extending Mrs. Davis 10 days in
which to show definite <-ause for ac
tion. Judge Sturtevant commented:
"No one can tell from this com
plaint whether the- road Tew up; and
hit Mrs. Davis or whether Mrs. Davis
flew out and hit the road."
Folding metal forms for concrete
culverts have been invented which
can be erected by one man and which,
made in tv/o sizes, can be adjusted
for 39 sizes of openings.
A Texas inventor's automobile has
two wheels on the left side and one
on the right, so arranged that he
claims no two of them will strike ob
structions on a road at the same time.

Why Do All Doctors Prescribe Calo
mel?
Of all the medicines in. the. world,
doctors prescribe calomel most often
and depend upon it most universally.
There must be a good reason?what
is it
If you will study the doctors' books
you will find that the medical au
thorities prescribe calomel for al
most every disease. The reason is
that calomel is the greatest and only
thorough system-purifier. It makes
the liver active, drives' out the', pois
ons from the stomach", bowels and
kidneys and thereby purifies the
blood. Calomei puts* the entire sys
tem in the most favorable condition
for nature to exercise her recupera
tive power. Your doctor will'tell"you
that drugs merely assist nature. That
is why he prescribes calomel so of
ten.
The new kind of' calomel, called
"Calotabs," is refined and* purified
from all of the nauseating and dan
gerous qualities of the old style calo
mel and is rapidly taking its place,
for it is more effective than the old
style calomel as a liver-cleanser and
system-purifier. One Cal?tab at' bed
time, with a swallow of water?that's
all. No nausea, nor the slightest un
pleasantness. Next morning you
awake feeling fine?with a hearty
appetite for breakfast. Eat what .you
please?fruits, acids Or anything. No
restrictions of habit or diet. . .
Calotabs are sold only in original,
sealed packages, price thirty-five
cents. Recommended, and' guaranteed
by druggists everywhere. Your mon
ey back if you are not delighted^:?

Economy.

German-' newspapers find occasion-, for
severe criticism in - their" reviews of
an exhibition "now open at: Leipzig in
tended to show soldiers? A families
:"how to furnish their- homes wfth
taste and'economy." The newspapers
declare that cubist and futurist art
has too much prominefice^ in the ex
hibits, The Elberfeld^ Freie Presse,
for example, says:
"Among the exhibit's there is a ful
ly furnished room which is- d? very
chamber of horror, tastelessness and
vulgarity. Over the' multi-color?d
portico there hangs- a picture of sdjj
diers on parade?a daub of glaring
reds, greens and yellows that blinds
the eyes of anyone that tries-to look
at it. The walls1 are painted in a
check-pattern of staring; purple and
green. On the sofa are cushions of
imperial colors, imprinted all over
with patriotic legends ^nd; pictures of
battle heroes Even-the children of
soldiers' families never pass its- open
door without laughing at the orgy of
hideous color,"

?the Sumter cases:
? W. T. Hall, blacksmith, 226 Salem
Ave., Sumter, says: "I am glad to
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills, for
they have been of great benefit. There
was too much uric acid in my sys
tem and I was bothered a great deal
with my back. When I bent over, it
was difficult for me to straighten up.
I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills being
such a good remedy and I used them.
It only took one box of Doan's to
make me fell a whole lot better."
Price 60c, at all. dealers. , Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy?get

Mr. Hall had. Foster-Milburn Co..
