AMERICAN bnnkcrs undisturbed over increased manufacture of war munitions by tho Allied coun tries. Profits probably smaller than earlier in tho war, but ample. Orders for raw materinls to sup ply European plants will make up for slightly decreased finished prod ucts orders. Bethlehem Steel Corporation and Baldwin Locomotive Works havo largest contracts, but reticent as to extent. American Locomotive Company has $18,000,000 orders with profits of $5,000,000. American Car and Foundry Com pany has $18,000,000 shells orders. Mid vale Steel Company has $10, 000,000 shells contract. American Steel Foundries has or ders for shells amounting to $18, 000,000. NEW YORK, July 29 Dcsplto the fact that tho munition factories In tho allied countries hao greatly increased their out put ot war mnterlals and plans are rapidly mnturlng further still to augment their fa cilities, flnnnciat Interests here give little crcdenco to reports that tho next few months will sec a cessation of war contracts placed In this country and a corresponding falling off in tho prosperity enjoyed by In dustries which have been doing a large business in munitions. Recent orders placed here demonstrate, it was said, Just how wide of tho mark Is this talk. Bankeri In a position to havo first-hand Information declare that nil Indications point to a continued good huslhcss for those engaged In tho manufacture of war materials for somo tlmo to como and point out that with the placing of further loans In this country by tho Entente I'owor3 ad ditional orders may bo expected White tho profits on this business will not be so largo as on soma of tho earlier con tracts, they will be sufficient to make tho work highly desirable. But een with a slight slowing down of war orders, tho country, It Is said, will experience prosper ity In other directions, as tho greater part of the raw materials must bo purchnscd hero with which to supply tho factories on the other side. Discussing tho matter from their point of iow. several leading bankers cited re cent orders received for war materials by leading manufacturers In this country. Among tho latter named In this connection wns the Bethlehem .Steel Corporation, which, it was pointed out, is probably tho largest manufacturer of munitions. While 'nothing definite could be learned from oflldals of tho Bethlehem company, It Is generally known that some good contracts have been taken recently. The company has an enormous nmount of business for foreign countries still to be filled, and la finding difficulty In keeping up on Its deliv eries as specified. Bankers closely Identified with the muni tion hailr.es say with regard to whatils being dona by tho Baldwin Locomotive Com.sj' that negotiations havo been pend ing recently for additional war contracts, and that somo orders were taken by tho Baldwin company within the last few weeks, although tho volume was not slgnlfl cant In comparison with at that concern has handled In the past More was learned with regard to the American Locomotive Works In this city, which within tho last few days has re ceived from Great Britain orders for 6-Inch shells Involving approximately J15.000.000. with another contract following which amounts to about $3,000,000. The ppiflt on this business was estimated by oflldals at from $-1,500,000 to $5,000,000. Officials of the American Car and Foundry Company, It was learned, hive taken an order for 0.2 shells which will amount to about $18,000,000.

HEAT MAKES ICE COST MORE Small Consumers May Have to Pay Increase of ?2 a Ton and Upward The wholesale price of Ice may advance from 60 cents to $1.25 a ton. It was learned from dealers today. This will mean that consumers buying in small amounts. In 5 and 10 cent pieces, may pay an Increase of 2 a ton and upward. The heat wave Is said to have reduced the supply of ice at every small plant, and all of them are being deluged with orders from Independent dealers.

General Halg so indicated In his report today. Usually sparing of descriptive ad jectives, the British Commander-in-Chief embellished his brief statement of today with such terms as "hand-to-hand struggles continuing without Intermission," "violent opposition" by the Germans and "desperate enemy attempts." It is the belief of military experts here that the Kaiser Is now utilizing the great reserves concentrated In front of the Brit ish line from Verdun and other points on the western battle front In a bitter en deavor to wrest back from the Britons the land they have captured In the last few days. Despite this, Halg. reported con; tlnued progress today. Halg reported "abundant evidence that tho losses we Inflicted during the last few days has been extremely severe, particu larly around Delvllle wood, where two or three regiments appear to have been anni hilated." The text of Hale's report follows; During the night the enemy made two desperate efforts to recapture Del vllle wood, but he was repulsed with heavy loss. The hand-to-hand strug gle north and northeast of Fozleres and In the neighborhood continues. We made progress In all three places, de spite the violent opposition of the en emy. The artillery firing on both sides Is Increasing In Intensity. There Is evidence to show that the losses Inflicted on the enemy In the last few days were severe, particularly at Delvllle wood, where two to three regiments apparently were annihilated.

Twelve or more of the country's leading physicians In pathol ogy arid experimental medl6lne will gather hfere next Thursday to study Infantile paralysis and confer with experts of New iork and Vicinity on qUestl6ns of the origin, treatment and spreading of the disease. Anticipating this council nnd believing that tho ailment may bo a disease ot children long familiar to physicians In China, a dele. Ration of Chinese doctors living In New York has studied half a dozen of the lit tle sufferers In Wlllard Parker Hospital. Dr. Lee Hang-Gee and Dr. John Ly-Sang, both of this city, examined tho patients, but made no report. In behalf of the Chinese hhyslclans, Gau F.

Bolduan, Director of Pub lic Health Education, who told him to see Doctor Sattorlee when he lectures at Wll lard Parker Hospital. Doctor Leo said: 'We feel that the disease may be like n disease long known In my native coun try. What we have heard about tho dis ease leads us to believe tho two may bo similar or the same. It co, the euro Is simple. You have a plant In America the Julco of which would cure the disease This juice, In China. Is drawn from the stem of tho plant with a chicken feather nnd rubbed over the afflicted parts. The juice, when applied, draws the poison to one point, nnd It can be let out of tho sys tem "Of course, wo may find that the disease Is entirely different from the Chtneso dis ease, but that disease Is so well known to our doctors that they feel that with an examination of half a dozen cases they could tell whether infanttlo paralysis Is the same." Tho Catherine of exnerts. to which tho Chlncso havo nit been invited, will be In the faculty rooms of the Coltego of Physicians and Surgeons of Colum bia University, nt which they will exchange Ideas, hear reports from those who have observed conditions In the present epidemic and In every possible way collect material which will enable them to continue Btudy nnd research work In their own laboratories.

Nobody from the two special policemen of the Sixth District, the policemen on the beat nor Policeman 3261 on quarantine duty on Winter street, has seen a moving van, "Nobody's gone," said Special Officer Ernest. "They're just off on a vacation at Atlantic City, I guess. So to Bpeak, they left the cat on the doorstep. We expect them hack. We're waiting for them." Winter street Is very much like the district round Rlttenhouse Square. The frpnt doors of the houses are closed. Cards on the doors tell the postman, the butcher and the baker ot absences from town. But though many a house Is closed, few are vacant. There's no call for moving vans. A moving van in Winter street Is as familiar a sight as the German flag on the Champs Elysees. The only people visible on the doorlteps of Winter street and Its adjacent side streets are the neighbors of those admon ished to move "Why don't they let 'era nloner said one woman, who has the distinction of be ing the neighbor of the only house In the vicinity whose tenants have actually va cated.

That Kaiser Wll hclm himself confirmed the sentence of death found by a court-martial trying Cap tain Fryntt, of the passenger liner Brus sels, for his attempt to ram a submarine, was reported In a Maastricht dispatch hero today. It served further to lnflamo Brls Ish feeling against what press and public alike branded as "surpassing the execu tion of Miss Edith Cavcll, tho British nurse, In cold-blooded ferocity." The Maastricht dispatch aserted that the Duke of Wurttcmberg wired the sentenco of death pronounced by tho naval court martial at Zoebrugge on Fryntt to imperial headquarters asking for confirmation. Tho War Council, it was said, grnnted this con firmation nt onco, nil Its members, Includ ing tho nKlser nnd General Krlch von Fnlkcnhnyn, former Wnr Minister, agree ing on tho Justice of tho death sentence.

The United States can take no official cognizance of the putting to death of Captain Fryatt, British merchant commander, shot after court martial by tho Germans. This was made plain In official circles today, where It was explained that tho case was one entirely be tween England and Germany. Officials, however, were fearful that out of tho shooting would como developments which might involvo this country. It is ex pected hero that a demand will be universal throughout England that a German sub marine or Zeppelin commander be tried and executed In reprisal. This could be done by court-martialing any of tho submarine commanders who torpedoed merchant ves sels without warning, or any commander of a Zeppelin who participated In raids across England. There Is hardly an official hero who does not admit that If reprisals are ever begun by any of the belligerents, an orgy of blood never beforo known In history must fol low. DUTCH SHIPPING CIRCLES INDIGNANT OVER SHOOTING AMSTERDAM. July 29. Putting to death of Captain Charles Fryatt, tho skip per of thn British steamship Brussels, by the Germans, has aroused Indignation In shipping circles of Holland. The feeling of bitterness is shared by tho public and press, as evidenced by the following statement published In the Nleuwe Rotterdamsche Courant today 'This execution may be in conformity with German moral teachings, but from tho human standpoint it Is Indefensible. Cap tain Fryatt was forced by merciless Ger man submarine warfare to defend his ship against attacks which meant its destruc tion and the death of all aboard. The execution was sheer Injustice." Other Dutch newspapers bitterly criticise the German Government for permitting the judgment of the court that tried Fryatt be ing carried out. REPORTER down and out who helps you but a sport girl? It ain't the respectable ones. They're the quietest, the best-hearted girls In the world, I think." Another viewpoint of the district Is not shared by the authorities. Another woman, who said she was "re spectable" and that she worked ln,a laundry from 7 In the morning to 6 at night, with an hour off at noon, said: "I like Winter street, 'cause it's lively at night. If I was allying on another street It'd be so dull and quiet I'd have to go to the movies for something to do, And here I nevpr go out. I like It down here; It's pleasant and lively and sociable. Aw J why can't they let 'em have It?" Tolerance with a besprinkling of philoso phy Is the general attitude of the neighbors of the raided houses. "It's Just scattering them," Is the gen eral verdict. "Give 'enj a chance. Ain't It hard enough as It s?" was a chant heard at every door step. One woman, however, saw the problem from an angle so far Ignored by reformers, political and social. Her talk, frankness itself, was too frank for publication. She ended with: "And you know as well as me that Where they're men there'll be girls. So I don't see why they got to move. There ain't no sense In it" Then there was an unofficial low-toned consultation between two of the women. "Miss, what you're going to write, ain't going to be notbln' against the girls?" asked one of them anxiously. "I think they're nice girls and I don't want to get them Into trouble. Life ain't too easy for 'em as it is." And the assembly heaved a sigh of re lief when assured their opinions were not Intended for fodder for the Grand Jury Investigation. "They ain't gone." was the parting salu tation, "they don't nave no need of a mov ing van. Ain't I seen somebody feedln' that canary up there on the window sill every day?

Telegr$ have been sent from headquarters of Pcnnsylavnla division to Pennsylvania renresentatlves In Congress, asking them tS havo passed In Congress a Joint resolutloai authorizing retention of the ordnance offW.j core nnd Inspectors of small arms, the dlvt. slon offices having been abolished by the. Hny-Chamberlaln army bill. According ta tho bill, the dozen or more officers affected nre to bo' honorably mustered out of 'thij service next Monday. The action was taken by Generah Clement and his alvlscrs alter a con ference at division headquarters which 1 lasted until n Into hour last night. Nearly.l brigade and regimental commanders who J were present unanimously Indorsed thtiTI telegrams, which pointed out tho value 6(f'i tho officers about to bo lost to the armyi ana urgea lmmeaiato action 10 secure uiets services.

Whatever action, howover swift, is! rushed through, apparently there exists no hone that musterlntr out af tho ordnance officers nnd Inspectors will not be carried 'I out according to schedule next Monday. Tho War Department has ruled that the offices aro to bo vacated, Should Congress authorizo tho re-creation bf the offices, the deposed officers will first be enlisted and then appointed to their old positions. MEN ARD NEEDED Every officer, from General Clement down, pointed out the need for the men about to bo lost. Ten first lieutenants were furnished by tho division as comman ders of motortruck trains for General Per shing's supply train and one first llcutcn-i ant was transferred from tho line to take chargo of tho division's truck company. The officers In question ara needed, not only for the rifle practice that has Just be gun, but for general duty, army men pointed out. Many of them are officers of long standing, with excellent records. Tho folly of deposing them and sending them home was emphasized. Inspection of tho entire division of the Pennsylvania troops by General Clement be gan today with the battalion of signal troops Tho men were drilled before the dHlslon commander's eyes, after "which a thorough Inspection of their technical and personal equipment was made. Inspection of tho Infantry will begln'Mdndny with the Eighth -Regiment ' Lieutenant Colonel Kemp, formerly of the United States army, who acted as chief mustering officer at the Mount Gretna' mob ilization camp, visited division headquar ters and mingled with his Pennsylvania friends. He has been assigned to the Eighth Cavalry. SATURDAY INSPECTION. " Regular Saturday Inspection was the order of the morning. The Improvement in equipment over that of last week's Inspec tion was noticeable In nearly every com pany street Most of tho regiments dis played new snoes, new shirts, now trous ers a spick and span alignment ot bronzed soldiers clothed In spick-and-span uniforms proving that Uncle Sam Is pro viding for his nephews. The first day of train service between El Paso and Camp Stewart was a justification fo tho venture. Nearly two hundred pleasure bent and business bent soldiers clambered on board the first of the shuttle trains that are spinning the desolate distance between tent and city. The last train that left El Paso at 11 o'clock last night was loaded to the scuppers, with nearly a score of panting privates, laden with packages of candy and cigarettes, oranges and ginger ale, dashing madly but vainly after the departing coaches. They hiked the ten or twelve miles to camp through the darkness. As a result ot the train service, the bars at Fort Bliss are less brilliantly lighted, the tin pianos throb more mournfully and the silence of the shooting gallery Is broken by ery few rifle cracks. It was a wise move that shuttle train. ULTIMATUM TO STRIKERS Cloak Employes Give Men Till Wednej day to Accept Agreement NEW YORK, July 29.
