Tho order was obtained by Diss tons from tho Bridgeport Projectllo Com . pany, conspicuously Identified by tho World with tho Gorman Government. Officials of tho Philadelphia saw works admit that they nro nt work on tho bis order for shrapnel steel for tho projectllo company, but deny any knowlcdgo of where tho shrapnel Is to go when com pleted. They will glvo out no Informa tion as to when tho order Is to be com pleted or when It Is to bo shipped. Tho letter Unking up tho Dlsstons with tho projectllo company Is dated July 9. Jt Is from the Guaranty Trust Company, of Now York, to a Gorman agent named Ucrr Schmidt, asking htm for authority to guarantee, on behalf of tho Dcutscho Bank, of "Berlin, tho sum of $140,000 to tho saw works for tho steel order. Kdmund R. Ilobcrts, first vlco presi dent of tho Dlsston company, said ha knew nothing of this letter, but admitted having asked tho Guaranty Trust Com .pany to gunrantco paympnt on tho order. LETTEU EXPLAINED. "Tho Bridgeport Projectllo Company la a new firm," he snld, "and therefore has ho financial rating. We did not feel that we could accept n largo order from n con cern that had no rating and no stand ing In the business world. For that rea son and that reason alono wo asked the Guaranty Trust Company to guarantee us payment for our work. So far as tho DeutschcsvBnnk, of Berlin, Is concerned, we knew nothing of that house, other than that It Is a largo bank. If tho Guaranty Trust Company acted on behalf of that Institution It was without our knowl edge." The Bridgeport Projectllo Company was Incorporated Starch 31 last with a cap ital of 12,000.000 fully paid In. A number of largo buildings now are being con structed and It Is said tho plant will bo In full working order by September 15, a short time beforo tho Dlsston firm expects to ship the steel bars. Other correspondence published today by the New York World purports tb show . that tho Guaranty Trust Company, of Hew York, supplied tho monoy for tho erection of theso buildings at Bridgeport nd other organization expenses. Tho contract Is signed by Hugo Schmidt and Poctor Albert, financial adviser for tho German Government In this country, and la approved by Doctor Albert, Captain von Papcn, military attache of the Ger man Embassy at Washington, and II. Llnrihelm, legal adviser to Doctor Albert and the German Government.

Another Item of war order nows made public today Is that machinists at tho Frank ford Arsenal havo been offered as high ns $500 a month to glvo up working for tho United States Government and go to Russia. This Information Is sup- plied by N. P, Allfas, chairman of a . cpmmttteo of employos of tho Washing ton, D. C.i Navy Yard, who called upon President Wilson yesterday, BALDWINS MAKE TRACTORS , The newest order obtained by Buld wins is said to be for huge tractors ca- cable of dragging heavy guns across a battlefield. Prince Gagarin Is authority . for the statement that Russia has built KUna fully as largo and powerful as any turned out by tho Krupps, but that his ' country .has not had the tractors to move them with facility. Tho Prlnco Is accompanied by his secretary, I. N. Pe troffskl, arid 8. C. Talbot, a native of England, put now a Russian subject, who Is the financial agent In dealing with manufacturers In this city. Negotiations aro also under way, It is sard, between tho Prince and tho J. G. Brill car works for war munitions. Tho Prince probably will bo In this city about one month. IIo is said to bo a descend ant of Rurik, the first Prince of Russia, whose son was ut the head of the Rus sian armies that captured Constantinople at the beginning of tho 10th century. The committee that called on President Wilson from the Washington Navy Yard told him that tempting offers had been received and that unless tho old rate of wages, cut eight cents a day by Secre tary of the Navy Daniels, were restored, there would be wholesale defections. A largo Increase of about 23 per cent. In pay may be demanded by thd arsenal and navy yard men,'' the President was nptl fled. None of the, Frankford arsenal men has accepted the offers from tho Rus sians, according to Mr. Allfas. LIONESS TO BE WITNESS Will Try to Prove to Jurymen How Gentlo She la PATERSON, N. J., Aug. 17.

Now, the question arises, haw long would John have had to stay behind tho bars If It had not been for the kindness ot his wife? John Is no stranger to the police, but they, never had an experience exactly like this before. It started because John was quite unmindful of the peace of the neigh borhood and started to disturb It- One manifestation, and not n new one, nay the pollse, was to gsntly throw furnlturs about the room.

"And surprised," commented Tarzan. r, h.orl ,lm? ,al,,r .th "trango party came to tho clearing In which stood the ape-man's cabin. It wns filled with peoplo coming and going, and almost the nrst whom Tnrznn saw was D'Arnot. "Paul!" he cried. "In the name of sanity what are ou doing here? Or are wo nil Insane?" It was quickly explained, however, ns were many other seemingly strange things. D'Arnot'a aliln I., I ... .i. ing along tho coast, on patrol duty, when at the lieutenant's suggestion they had anchored oft tho llttlo landlocked harbor to have another look nt tho llttlo cabin nnd tho Junglo In which many of tho officers and men had taken part In ex citing adventures two years before. On landing they had found Lord Tennlng ton s party, and nrrnngements wero being made to take them nil on board the fol .w. ?B morning, and carry them back to civilization, Hazef Btrong nnd her mother, Esmer n da, and Mr. Samuel T. Philander wero almost overcomo by happiness nt Jane Porter s safe return. Her escape seemed to them llttlo short of miraculous, and it was tho consensus of opinion that it could have been nchloved by no other man than Tarzan of tho Apes. They loaded the uncomfortable ape-man with eulogies and attentions until ho wished himself back In tho nmphlthcntro of tho apes. All wero Interested in hln uvim ..nun, nnu many were tho gifts tho black men received from theso friends of their king, but when they learned that ho might sail nway from them upon tho great canoe that lay nt anchor a mllo off shore they became very snd. As yet tho newcomers had seen noth ing of Lord Tennlngton nnd Monsieur Thuran. They hnd gono out for fresh meat early In tho day, and had not yet returned. "How surprised this man, whoso nnmo you say Is Rokoft, will bo to see you," sold Jano Porter to Tarzan. "Ills surpriso will bo short-lived," re plied tho ape-man grimly, and thcro was that In his tono that made her look up Into his faco In nlnrm. What she read there evidently confirmed her fears, for alio put her hnnd upon his arm, nnd pleaded with him to leave tho Russian to tho laws ot France. "In the heart of tho Jungle, dear," sho said, "with no other form of right or Jus ttco to appeal to other than your own mighty muscles, you would bo warranted In executing upon this man tha sentence ho deserves; but with the strong nrm ot n civilized government nt your disposal It would bo murder to kill him now. Even your friends would hnvc to submit to your arrest, or If you resisted it you would plungo us nil Into misery nnd un happlncss again. I cannot bear to loso you again, my Tarzan. Promise mo that you will but turn him over to Captain Dufrannc, and let tho law take Its course tho beast is not worth risking our happiness for." He saw tho wisdom ot her nppcal, and promised. A half hour later Rokoft nnd Tcrnlngton emerged from tho Jungle. They were walking sldo by side. Ten nlngton wns tho first to noto tho pres ence of strangers In the enmp. Ho saw the black warriors palavering with tho sailors from tho cruiser, and then ho saw a lltho, brown giant talking with Lieuten ant D'Arnot nnd Captain Dufrannc. ! . . .. ..nw "Who Is that. I wonder," said Tennlng ton to Rokoft, nnd ns tho Russian raised his eyes and met those of the npe-man full upon him, ho staggered and went white. "Saprlstl!" ho cried, nnd before Ten nlngton realized what ho Intended he hnd thrown his gun to his shoulder, nnd nlmlng point-blank nt Tarzan pulled tho trigger. But tho Englishman was close to him so close that his hand reached tho leveled barrel a fraction of a second beforo the hammer fell upon tho cart ridge, and the bullet that was Intended for Tnrzan's henrt whirred harmlessly above his head. Before the Russian could llro again tho ape-man was upon him and had wrested tho firearm from his grasp. Captain Du frnnne. Lieutenant D'Arnot. and a dozen sailors had rushed up at the sound of the shot, and now Tarzan turned the Rus sian over to them without a word. Ho had explained tho matter to the French commander beforo Rokoft nrrlved, and the officer gave Immediate orders to place tho Russian In Irons and conllno him on hnnH Ihn rrlllser. Just before tho guard escorted the nrlsoner Into the Bmali boat that was to transport him to his tempornry prison Tarzan naked permission to search him, and to his delight found tho stolen papers concealed upon his person. Tho shot had brought Jane Porter nnl tho others from he cabin, and a mo ment otter the excitement had died down sho greeted the surprised Lord Tennlng ton. Tnrznn Joined them nftor he had taken the papers from Rokoft, and, as ho approached, Jano Porter Introduced blm to Tennlngton, "John Clayton, Lord GreyBtoke, my nnl ' utlA R&Id. Tho Englishman looked his astonish ment, In Bplto of his most herculean ef forts to appear courteous, and It required many repetitions of tho strange story of tho are-man, as told by himself, Jano Porter and Lieutenant D'Arnot, to con vince Lord Tennlngton that they were not all quite mad, At sunset they burled William Cecil Clayton beside the Jungle graves of his uncle and his aunt, the former Lopl and Lady Oreystoke. And It was at Tarzan's request that three Volleys were fired over tho last resting place of "a brave man, who met his death bravely." Professor Porter, who. In his younger days, had been ordained a minister, con ducted the simple services for the dead. About tho eravo. with bowed heads, stood as strange a company of mourners as the sun ever looked down upon. There were French officers and sailors, two Eng lish lords. Americans and a score of sav age African braves. Following the funeral, Tarzan asked Captain Dufranjif to delay tho sailing of the cruiser a couple of days while he went Inland a few miles to fetch hi "Be longings." and the officer gladly granted thefavor. Late the next afternoon, Tarzan and his Wazlrl returned with tha first load of "belongings," and when tho party bw the ancient inget,Ql virgin gold they swarmed upon the apa.man with a, thou sand questions; but he was smilingly ob durate to their appeals he declined to give them the slightest clew as to the source of his Immense treasure. "There are a thousand that I MX behind, he ex plained, "far every one that I brought away, and wh these are spent I may wish to return for mora." The next day In returind to camp with the balanc of his Ingots, and when they wre stored on board tha cruiser Captain Dufranne said he felt like the oommandsr OS an old-time Spanish galleon returning from the treasure cities of the Astecs. "I don't know what minute my crew will out my throat and take over the ship." hja added. The nxt SMwnuig. as they were pre paring to embark upon th cruiser, Tar zan ventured . suggestion to Jan Ports. "W1J4 beast are supposed to be de void ot stotbuent," he said. "but. nvr thelssa, I should like tP l marrtad in the, cabin when I was born, beside tha giavss ur m natattr and my ratber, and I A. r tt.n, . ..iv.,r in, surrounded by the savage Jungle that at was has been my home." "Would It be quite regular, dear?" sho asked. "For If It would I know of no other place In which I should rather be married to my forest god than beneath the shade of his primeval forest." And when they spoke of It lo the others iney were nssured that It would be quite regular, nnd n most splendid termination or a remarkablo romance. So the en tire party assembled within the llttlo cawn and about the door to witness tho second ceremony that Professor Porter was to solemnize within three days.

Vaudeville KEITH'S Wnrm weather has a tendency to make many persons pessimistic even when they nro getting their money's worth. As a result, they hcsltato about npprovlng any thing, regardless of Its merit. It was evident that they wero many of this framo of mind at Keith's last night, and although they laughed, they were stingy with applnuae, which requires some llttlo exertion. Any manager will toll you thnt applauso Is as essential to tho success of a show as commendation of good work ers la to tho success of any other busi ness establishment. IJut tho somewhat passlvo nttltudo was speedily transformed by Joseph E. Howard and Mabel McCane, tho former musical comedy stars. Thoy not only aroused tho. onthuslnnm of tho wnrm wcathcrltes to tho highest pitch, but stopped the show" with npplause.

"I Wonder Who's Kiss ing Her Now," nnd "Hollo, My Raby," semcd to nnd tho most favor. Tho au thor sang rully a dozen songs nnd Miss McCano had a different gown for each number. Tho Blnglng was preceded with a drawing room tetc-n-tetc. whero there wns consistent comedy which made a pleasing contrast with tho act. Joe Jackson, who Is regarded ns the best pantomlmlst on the Btnge, crcnted no end of fun with ragged clothes nnd a dilapidated bicycle. His act ended while tho nudlcnco wns In tho midst of Its laughter, and tho surpriso finish undoubt edly cut ofT a lot of "pent up" applause. Fisher and Green, In "The Pnrtncrs," wero suro enough business Jews. They wore given vnlunblo assistance by Graco Do Mont nnd brought out many laughs. There was no end of good comedy In "A Rag Tlmo Soldier." nresentcd bv John and Mao ISurke, whoso act was Inter spersed with many novelties nnd sur prises.

Ebenezer Edwards grinned sheepishly and turned redder than tha red chimney ndornlng the new courthouse. "Hilda wouldn't look at me," ho mumbled. "I guesa tho winter she spent down In Wnehlngton must have turned her head nnd-" "Nothing of tho sort," Interrupted Mrs. Edwnrds, sharply. "Hilda Hanson's head nln t so easily turned. And If the truth was known, I'd wager my gold thimble to a darnln' needle thnt she wouldn't give !forn.ftU tho splndle-leg dudes that parade the asphalt streets of our national capital" Ebenezer scratched his auburn head. Tou don't know girls," he ventured to remark. "Hilda has changed nnd I ...,,y know whftt to make of her." m Humphl" ejaculated Mrs. Edwards; ,.o uid am is urea or waitin' ror you to pop the question an la a bit discon solate Here you nre, pressln' twenty two, will Inherit the richest farm In Clay county, and your family's been respected ,? . 8 con"nunlly long beforo George Washington crossed the Delaware an' took M0.000 Hussars prls'ners-nt least tnat s what I got from your great-grandfather Edwards, before he died." Bbcneier Edward' face beamed tolth the light of infinite joy. "Not Hussars, mother, but Hessians," corrected Ebenezer, "and tho number of men captured by tho Immortal George wns not 200,000, but n bare 10." "Shucks!" said Mrs. Edwards. "I don't think so much of thut. but whether It was 10 or MO tho fact remains that the Edwards " "Havo been rubes from tlmo Immemo rial," interposed tho son, "nnd If I want to win a girl like Hilda I've nn Inkling thnt I'll have to get a hump on myself." "What aro you drlvln' nt, Eb7" In quired tho fond parent. "I'll tell you in duo time," replied Lbcnezcr ns ho stuffed a wad of to bacco Into a corncob plpo and strolled Into the garden. The golden leaves of nutumtv had carpeted tho broad lawn surrounding tho Edwards mansion, nnd a brisk September wind seemed to whisper tho death of summer when Ebenezer Edwnrds hied himself across nelds of ripened corn to tho Hansons' attractive abode, nestled In a nearby hill, to say good-by. Eb's mind wns made up. He must become polished and refined beforo hoping to capture Hilda. "I'll win her." ho had grated, "If I'm forced to wear a dress suit huskln' tlmo!" Something that might havo suggested pain lingered for a moment on Hilda Hanson's fair features when' the big farmer took her hand nnd said gently. I in going nway next week, llttlo girl, and thought I'd drop around nnd tell you." "Away?" repeated Hilda. "Where?" ' Cornell. I've studied hard and want to tnko a year or so In the agricultural school. Up there they mako a modern farmer of you, nnd a gentleman ns well, bo thoy tell me." "Tho Idea!" pouted Hilda, "why you're acknowledged to be tho best farmer In Clay county, and " "Nonsense!" srlnned Rhunnui. TT,i,rn-i. "Anyhow, the rubes up our way are antiquated In their methods." The fact was, however, that Farmer Edwards' solo idea in going North was to acquire the suavity nnd refinement of his city brother. The rough edges must be worn off and then, perhaps, the fountain of lovo in Hilda's heart would be loosed. Ebenezer longed to convey the ambition of a lifetime to the little girl of tho hills, but something deterred him mo Knowicago mat no was, as yet, a clodhopper. Something like n mist spread over tho farmer's big, blue eye when nn hour later he pressed his lips to H. da's hand, and, looklntr nulcklv awov. mumbled an unintelligible good-by nnd strode down the tan-bark path. A golden harvest moon was riding over the tranquil heavens, and somewhere a night bird was singing a sonata to the breeze, but Ebenczers big henrt was far too full to appreciate the glories of the autumn evening. To him the earth was dead, tho birds had flown, for he had burled the Joys of life In the little ham let he was leaving behind, and Hilda nlone could resurrect them. A heavy winter set In and Jack Frost's relentless hnnd gripped Clay county for bIx weary months. But early In April the kindly sun shono forth, the frozen ground softened as If by magic, and farmers near and far commenced their Bprlng plowing, Ebenezer Edwards reached home, and The Curtis Publishing Company Cordially invites you to see its new industrial Motion Pictures Entitled 8!ljrr ' ft Manufacturing a Magazine In the Auditorium of the Curtis Building, Sixth stjAct above Walnut, Tuesday evening, 4ugust 17, andftrlday evening, August 20 at 8,15 o'clock sharp Tlteae motion pictures, showing the interesting operations which take place in the production and distribution of the Curtis publications, are in six reels; each performance lasts two hoursr an Admission by tickeanly.

Bsasssas when h appeared at the farm motherly Instinct told Mrs Edwards that thl we her boy. for he was arrayed In tb trnordlnary n garb that the fond parent almost doubling the eviflcnw of her senses, forgot for the moment to .mm-t him, and exclaimed In amazement, "tand sakes, Ebenezer Edwards, what I th WOtld romtaff to when n htialrv former ar. rays himself In such hideous duds" 5 "This Is the very latest college style." replied Ebenezer, proudly, as he fondled his mother to his heart, "All the swell dressers ate sporting them." "Well!" ejaculated Mr. Edwards, "hlle you was about It why didn't you get tho right size? The suit IS threo sizes too small." ' "It Is a bit uncomfortabley admitted Eb, with a squirm, "but you'vo got to keep up with the fashions, especially U you wont to capture a girl's heatt v omen nro sticklers for smart clothes. ' "And what brought you home?" Ebenezer grinned. "Dp you suppose that I could have looked Into another book after that hot sun came out' I'm inrougn wnn college, and, to be candid, mother dear, I'm dead anxious to get out of these clothes Into my overalls and be hind a plow, but I must see Hilda first"' And after another hearty embrace We man darted away. Hilda Hanson was planting n rose bust! beside the garden fence when something caused her to look up and her heart grjYa a tremendous bound. But then a native Pride caused her to regain control of those feelings that were threatening to run nwny with her, and she said sternly, Ebenezer Edwnrds, you enn never cross into these grounds until you have changed those clothes!" For tho nrst tlmo In his life the big farmer was too amazod lo speak, and ror a moment he stood as If petrified "Why, ho finally blurted, "all tho city chaps nre wearing theml They are nil tho rage. Hilda. I'vo always thought that after that winter down In Washington " "Don't mention Wnshlngton or nny eity, ns far ns that goes, or the men's clothes or tha women's," continued Hilda vehe mently. "May be It's all right it you'va been raised there, but tho artificiality of It sickens ono born an J rcar;d In th great, green open." "Shades of Agrlcola!" panted Ebenezer Edwards. "I wish I'd known your sentt ments Inst fall. I beat It all tho way to college. Hilda, becauso well, because I thought you wouldn't look at me niter those city yaps hnd boarded up here. I wanted to dress like "cm, and thought If I did nnd acquired their wnys jou might you might learn to love me." "You dear old silly," Hilda whispered, "your imagination hai only (.liyed you a foolish prank. Why. I wouldn't glvo your flannel Bhlrt nnd corduroy trouiers for nil the college sultsl And" she con tinued dlllldently, "I would have told you so long ngo It you had only given me the opportunity." Ebenezer Edwards's face beamed with the light of Infinite Joy, nnd he murmured, "Hilda, love, won't you let mo cross the stylo Just once with these c'othes?" "Yes, this once, ou ell Ce.ir, but re member, never ngaln!" nnd leaning over tho vine-covered fence their faces met.
