MIDVALE STEEL PLANT NOT
OFFERED FJR SALE TO U. S.
Vice President Denies All Knowledge
of Washington Story.
Officers of the Mldvale Steel Company
deny thnt the works have been offered
for sale to tho United States Government
for use ns nn armor plato plant. Vice
President James F. Sullivan, comment
ing on a dispatch from Washington to
that effect, said: "If negotiations nre
being conducted In Washington for the
sale of the plant It is without my knowl
edge. So far I lne heard nothing about
It. I do not even know whether Secre
tary Daniels could purchase tho plant In
tlmo of pence without a special act of
rnnprpftn."
' Tho WnalilnE?nn fllsn.itrh snlil Knnra-
tary Daniels announced he would In
spect tho Mldvalo Steel Works on his
visit to this city on Monday, when ha
will attend the ceremonies at the break
ing of tho ground for tho construction
of shlpwnys at league Island. It was
also reported thnt Vlco President King,
of tho Mldvale Steel Works, has made
arrangements for the visit of the Sec
retary to the plant on Monday, nnd that
Secretaiy Daniels accepted Mr. King's
Invitation.
It was said that three companies havo
offered their plants for salo to tho Gov
ernment for the purpose of manufne
tuilng armor plate. They nro tho Car
ncglo Steel Company, the Hethlehem
Steel Company and tho Mldvalo Steel
Woi ks.
The denial Issued by Vlco President
Sullivan of tho offer of the Mldvnle

is viewed variously since tho announce

iels to thn plant came directly from the
Secretary's ofllce.

When the two policemen, rtalston and

address, the scene of tho bout, McGee
defied them to put him under arrest, say
ing that ho could defeat nny "cop" In a
fair and square fight. Whereupon ho

A ragged group of eight arrived at
London on a ship from noulogno, plainly
showing they had endured hardships in
the battles In France. Thoy woro tho

corduroy Jacket, trousers much too short
for him and bathing shoes. Unwashed,
and with two or thiee days' growth of

As they passed talking; I caught a
broad Irish bioguo nnd a losponse In nn
eeiually pionounced Scotch dialect.
"Who are you?" I Inquired.
"Hrltlsh .soldiers, guv'nor!" wns tho
reply. "Lost our regiments, borrowed
these 'eio togs, camo thiough the Ger
man lines, reached Houlogne at Inst and
now wo nro going to Shorncllffe to re
port. Then wo nro going back again."
How two British soldiers, a captain
and a corporal of tho Dragoon Guards,
escaped from a convent hospital, where
they wore held prisoners by the Germans
after being seriously wounded, was told
by ono of them when they arrived at
Folkstone from Ostend.
They had ciossed ,'n miles of country
occupied by the enemy nnd got safely
by their outposts. The corpornl told the
story quite casually, as If It were an
ordinary adventure.
"With the rest of tho wounded I was
taken to a convent Inside the German
lines I found my own captain theie. A
shrapnel shell had exploded in front of
him and the fumes had sent him off,
nnd he had a slight wound on the fore
heajl. "They left the convent unguarded, be
ing confident, I suppose, that we could
not escape through their lines. We had
oeen there a day or two when wo saw
them Bonding up a guard.
" 'This Is the time to escapo, nnd w
nro going to,' said tho captain.
"Wo got nut ivlthuut difficulty, and
lay for ten hours In ambush behind a
hedge. Then we i?ei out to get through
the line.. The captain had a map of
the country nnd a damaged pair of com
passes, which wp patched up with dough.
The map enabled him to know exactly
where we were.
"We lay low all day and traveled by
night, covering 27 mllfs of ground each
night by crawling almost flat and run.
nlng bent almost double when wo found
cover. We had no sleep for 45 hours.
"Once wo attempted to swim, but found
out clothes too heavy to carry, so wo
made for a bridge. It was guatded by
23 Germans. We came ue.irer and looked
up very carefully. The sentry on our
nlda of tho bridgo was asleep. We crept
past him and over the bridge. The whole
guard was asleep. Tho secord time we
rrosted the canal was by a pontoon which
they had left unguarded
"Once we got clear of their lines we
had no further difficulty. The Ilelglans
assisted us all they could to get to

Last week a proposal was publicly
nindo In London by Mrs. L'dward Lyt
tloton that there should bo a general
token of mourning for those who In the
glorious exploits of British arms In
Franco and Belgium havo died for their
King nnd country. This proposal wns
to tho effect that those families who
lose loved ones In the wnr should wear
a purple armlet bearing In gilt letters
some general phrase, such as "For King
nnd Country."
The Duchess of Devonshire, Lady
Lansdowno and other ladles have an
nounced that for thoso of their rclutlves
who die ut the, front thoy "will not show
their sorrow as for thoso who come to n
less glorious end." Their outward signs
of mourning will be restricted to tho
wealing of a plain white band on tho
sleeve.
The suggestion of this unpretentious
mnrk of mourning, whether the band be
whlto or purple, is generally nppmvcd.
Somo distinctive token of thn kind. If
made uniform for high and low alike.
Is worthy of adoption. Its simplicity
will bo ever so much moie expressive
of tho nntlon's grief and fortitude In
adversity than tho wearing of sombro
black mourning attire.
Ono brave French mother has learned
that her three sons were wnr victims, one
