"When our -heavy guns stop for a moment we'Jl make the advance. Just fol low me close when I give the signal and there will he big pongs sung about our success." li able seaman tells the tale.

Then came a magnificent charge up a steep hillside nnd the storming of heights held by the Oermans.

"Herman wave after wave came lip In counter attack, but we were firm, and met each rush with the point. Soon we could have built breastworks of the Herman dead, and Indeed we used many enemy bodies ns head-cover In the firing which took place between the bnyonet encounters. "All the same we were completely out numbered. And thankful we were when some Herman pushed up the lid of a ma chine gun emplacement and waved a white shirt In token of surrender! "We captured that lot, and, as we could .spare no guards, set them off toward our lines without escort, trusting that our lavalry would slifht them, and take them to their pioper place.

READY TO SPEED UP Camden Firm Prepared for Co operation With Government in Case of Hostilities The New York Shipbuilding Company, In Camden, will co-operate fully with the Vnlt td States Hov eminent In the matter of rapid-fire battleship building in the event of actual warfare with Hernniny, according to a statement Issued today by II. A. Magoun, vice president of the company. Oidlnarlls It takes thlitv-nlni' months to construct it dieadnought. but Mr Magoun said that his company could piobably con struct a battleship of the dreadnought tpc lu u year's time If provided with sutllclent labor and innteriaK 1'nder the present labor and material market the New York Shipbuilding Company can keep construc tion woik going on four battleships, and has the ways for laying the keels of four or five additional ships. At present nine ships are under construc tion at the yards, Including the battleship Idaho, which Is about two-thlids completed. The company Is also under Hovernnient contract to build tho supei dreadnoughts Washington and Colorado. "During the last year, said Mr. Magoun, "we have turned down many contracts be cause of the scarcity of labor and .material. This condition would have to bo remedied In order to Insure the rapid-lire building of battleships. "If we have war the 1'nlted States would do well to turn Its attention to the construc tion of supply ships nnd transports. In naval warfare these types of ships aic in dispensable, and I undei stand there Is n great shortage of such vessels. "In case of war Congress would hnve the power to commandeer our plant. In such an event tho plant would probably be con ducted under the ptesent management nnd Congress would decide tho ratio of profit to accrue to the company. We are ready to co-operate with the Hot eminent in nny way." Asked If the Xew York Shipbuilding Com pany could undertake the construction of submarines, Mr. Magoun sa'i: "We have never consdeied building sub marines, but tho New York Shipbuilding Is equipped to construct any typo of craft afloat." 250,000 VIEW RUINS OP GIMBEL WAREHOUSE Police Kept Busy Moving Huge Crowds.
