d screpancy, however, in today's
dispatches from Berlin, herring
to the Argonne operations. The
Berlin report maintains that tho
Germans have gained ground in
that region. On tho rest of the
front the fighting emphasizes tho
stubbornness which both sides
liavo maintained in' tho long dead
lock since the battle of tho Marno
and also the fact that the French
have been able to hold the greater
part of the gains' they have mado
at many points in recent fighting.
On the cast; front the Germans
ore carrying out their plans pre
paratory to another grand of
fensive on Warsaw from the north
and the south. The immediato
problem of the Germans in tho
north is to reduce tho fortress of
Ossowietz, the great Russian
stronghold on the Vistula-Bobr
line of defense. Thus far tho
Russians have resisted all the at
tacks of tho enemy and seem to
have taken good advantage of
their recent victory in South
Poland in fortifying themselves on
tho Krasnik Hills, where the next
great battle in that region will
probably take place.

From a Btaff Correspondent
PENNSGROVE, N. J., July 14 -Enough
high explosives to demolish three cities

Carney's Point, four miles from here.
Officials of tho company, many of the
powdermakera and not a fow Pennsgrove
residents fear the explosives but they
reserve a more horrible fear for the one
sordid saloon of this mushroom mill town.
At Carney's Point 12,000 men toll In

Not a man will bo allowed to enter the

Most Practical Sort of Work

Observers in Activities of In

WASHINGTON, July 11. With Or
vllle Wright already declaring for an
American fleet of 2000 aeroplanes, Sec
retary Daniels' new naval board of In
vention and development, on which
Wrjght and other famous men will serve
as colleagues of Thomas A. Edison, was
declared by army and navy experts here
today to be destined to effect the most
practical kjnd of work.
Edison has already expressed his con
viction of the Importance of submarine
development.
From these two. said the authorities,
even If there were no other members of
the board, great things for the navy
might naturally be expected. With the
addition of the other geniuses whose

An order for 80,00O,O0O worth of shrap
nel for the Allies tho largest order yet
placed In tho United States by tho
warring countries at ono Umo and with
any one company has been closed with
the Baldwin Locomotive Works.
Officials of the company would neither
a'lrni nor deny tho reported order, pur
suing their usual policy of saying noth
Itig In nnswer to the rumors of large
war orders which have been circulated
throughout the financial district from
time to time.
Tho big order has been under negotia
tion for some tlmo and would have been
closed before now but for the fact that
there were a great many minor details in
connection with It such ob payment, de
livery, etc. which had to be settled be
fore tho deal could be consummated.
These details have now been worked
out. When H. P. Davison, of J. P. Mor
gan and Company, who la now on his
way to this country from London, was in
the British metropolis, this big order oc
cupied a great deal of his attention, and
the understanding generally Is that the
matter has been satisfactorily arranged.
CHARTER CIRCUMVENTED.
Thero are certain provisions In tho
charter of tho Baldwin Locomotive Works
which prevented the company from ac
cepting war orders, but the company has
now found a way to overcome this. This
will be done by the organization of .in
Independent company which will be under
tho direct supervision of the Baldwin
Locomotive WorkB.
This company will undertake the manu
facture of all of the orders which the
Baldwin Company may recelvo from time
to tlmo. The Independent concern will
be Incorporated under the laws of Dela
ware. Just where the new plant will be
located could not be learned, but It would
not bo surprising If It were built at
Eddvstone. where the branch of the
Baldwin Locomotive Works Is located,
and where nnother plant Is now under
construction to turn out a large order
for rifles for the Russian Government,
obtained recently by the Remington
Arms Company. The Baldwin Company
will get a royalty from this contrnct.

GUARD AGAINST BOMB
IN SECRET LOADING OF
STEAMSHIP DOMINION
Workmen Examined at
Washington Avenue Pier
Before They Are Permit
ted to Help Place Cargo
Believed to Be for Allies.
A bomb does not have to be a targe, of
fensively round black object, with fuse
attached; It can be as neat and Innocent
In appearance as a workman's tin lunch
box.
So every workman's lunch was subjected
to scrutiny today before he was allowed
to take his place among the men loading
the American Line steamship Dominion,
to prevent the possibility of an explosive
being slipped on board the vessel, as was
done on the Minnehaha.
Not only his lunch box, but every
pocket In his clothes, was gone through
as carefully as is done by the most care
ful of housewives on the morning after
pajday. Every longshoreman engaged In
loading the vessel was put through a
"third degree" examination before he was
employed unless he had been a member of
the regular force at the American Line
piers Tor years.
Under the glare of many electrlo arc
lights an army of longshoremen worked
frantically all last night to hasten the
loading of the Dominion, which Is sched
uled to steam from Washington avenue
wharf late today. At daylight their
places were taken by another army, and
It is believed that the vessel will get
off on time. Utmost secrecy surrounds
the sailing of the steamship. No pas
sengera will be taken aboard. Watch
men surround the pier and no one uo
known to them Is allowed within 60
yards of it . ...
It is believed that the vessel will carry
out, on her voyage to Liverpool, a large
quantity of arras, ammunition aad other
war supplies- This Is borne out by the
appearance of many cases, as taey were
run on the plir oa autPtruoks aacV horse,
drawn drays. Several had ''Frew
