The men were arrested after one of their number had shouted "Hurrah for the Kaiser." ' With the examination of the men Gov ernment agents will start an Investiga tion Into societies composed entirely of Austrlans employed at shipbuilding and as munitions workers. Simultaneously with this Investigation, omclals of the Emergency Fleet Corpora tion will start a sweeping Inquiry of all thlpyard employes In an effort to send Into the military service all would-bo draft dodgers nnd nil men of draft age not absolutely essential to the ship building Industry.

All admitted they are alien enemies, and say they registered as such when war was declared on Austria. According to Federal agents, the men have been collecting funds, for the last few weeks, ostensibly for aiding dis abled Jugo-Slav soldiers In Austria. They are said to be members of n so ciety with distinctly pro-German lean ings. Other workmen accused them of aiding Austria and when opo of the three shouted "Hurrah for the Kaiser," the trio was set upon by a mob and escaped serious Injury only by the Inter ference of the shipyard guards.

' ' Keeping Careful Wntch "We are keeping careful watch on the total number of tons of coal saved In each hotel and office building affected by ytlie conservation rulings, and though we are not prepared to give out any de tailed statement until a month has lapsed, you can say that one big Chest nut street hotel alone Is saving a ton and a half a day, and one large office building," -which has Its own power , plant, 'Is saving three and a half tons 'n. day. We are confident from reports 'received so far that the total of coal conserved bythe' present rules will be i most Impressive. "There seems to be a vague .impres sion that Philadelphia Is being made the victim of some sort of visionary ex periment. This Is not the case. The whole matter has been most carefully worked out, and no order has been Is sued that has" not been unanimously ap- ,: proved by a board of expert engineers. If other cities and States do not care to follow our lead, they will probably regret the fact next January . "The fuel administration wishes to emphasize the fact that tho supply of , coal alloted to Pennsylvania will fall far short of the demand unless It Is carefully conserved and every ounce , of power secured from every pound.

N. J., earlv this morning. No person was Injured. Tho damage Is put at S260.000. The reflection from tho flare lighted up the sky and could be seen many miles away. A heated bearing In a motortruck Is believed to have caused- tho "flare." Soon after the magazine started to burn a statement was Issued by officials of the company to the effect that some powder was Ignited by the heat from a bearing. Several other magazines and freight cars on, a nearby siding were threatened for a time by the blaze. The du Pont Company today Issued this explanation of tho "flare": "Tho explosion took place In a ware house on the edge of plant No. 2. It contained about &00.000 pounds of can non powder. It was caused by the heating of, the brake bearings of a mo tortruck which was loading In front of the warehouse. There was no loss of life. The men who were doing the load ing had plenty of time to get away after the flare started. The bearings heated on account of a tight brake on the mo torcar." y .

INTRODUCES BILL FOR AIR DEPARTMENT Provides for Cabinet Member With Full Control Over Aircraft Wajlilnuton, Aug. 1 (By I. N. S.), Senator New, of Indiana, a member of the Senate Aircraft Investigating Com mittee, today Introduced a resolution creating a department of aeronautics, with a Cabinet member to be known as "Secretary of Aeronautics" es Its head. "I am confident that this Is tho solu tion of our aircraft difficulties," said Senator New, "and this. Is borne out by every army oftlcer of hl'sli command and every member of the aircraft board of tho old nnd tho new regime. This bill Is based on the testimony taken before the Investigating committee." Tho Secretary of Aeronautics under the New bill would haye "direct and complete" control of all matters pertain ing to the design, purchase, nnd manu facture of aircraft and aircraft equip ment Intended for tho use of tho army, navy or marine corps." The Cabinet member would bo ap pointed by tho President and confirmed by tho Senate, and would receive a sal ary of $12,000 a year. Financial provision for the new de partment Is made by turning over "un expended balances of such appropriations- as may have, been made for the purpose and manufacture) of aircraft and aircraft equipment nnd all appropria tions hereafter made for such pur poses.". Tho Introduction of Senator New's bill closely follows tho statement made by Senator Reed, another member of the Investigating committee, favoring the creation of an air ministry, nnd Indi cates that this will bo an outstanding feature In tho committee's report. WORK FOR MAIMED SOLDIERS Edtlystonc Rifle Plant Will Em ploy Men Invalided Home American soldiers Invalided home from France will be given employment nt the Eddystone rifle plant, according to Major W. A. Garrett, assistant gen eral manager. OlTlclals of the Mldvalo Steel Com pany, which owns tho Eddystono plant, have nsked War Departmnnt olllclals to send soldiers Incapacitated at the front to tho munition factory. The first of the men will probably stnrt to work September 1, Slajor Garrett said. The Eddystone olllclals' action Is one of the flrst steps In a natlon-wldo move ment to give employment to soldiers who nre wholly or partly disabled.

National Budget, Delaware River Tunnel and Just Tax System Favored Trenlon, Auk. 1. Governor Edge today, In announcing the platform upon which he will stand as a Republican for the United States Senate, declared for emergency war pro hibition, woman suffrage, encourage ment of the new merchant marine, a business-like budget system for the na tion's financing, Federal co-operation for bridging the Delaware Itlver be tween Camden and Philadelphia and tun neling tho Hudson between Jersey City and New York and an apportionment of war revenues between taxes and bond Issues, that huslness and Industry will not be strangled by destructive tax ation or suffer from overlnflatlon Inci dent to Imprudent borrowing. "I realize that the views I have taken respecting all of the subjects treated In the platform will not, of course, meet with the approyal of every citizen," said Governor Edge today. "It would be presumptuous to expect such unanim ity of opinion In thin day, when the problems are of such perplexing char acter. ITpon t,oine subjects I have reached no final conclusion, for the rea son that I realize the necessity of main taining an open mind In order thnt the period of wonderful experience through which we arc passing may be used as a guide. For any man to stand up today and arbitrarily decide tho future of such problems, for Instance, as Government railroad ownership, or permanent taxa tion policies. Is to prove that he Is ut terly Incompetent to nssumo tho re sponslbllltles of business government In reconstruction times. Treatment given such matters under stress of war neces sity might be wholly Impractical In times of peace, and probably would be. "I feel Justified in asking tho public to compare this platform and lt3 treat ment of vital national problems with the destructive appeal to prejudice and empty resort to demagoguery or person al criticism on the part of those who lm- aglne the people will be patient with an effort to contuse Slato utility regula tions, Important as they aro locally, with tho far-reaching problems now before tho nation, when hundreds of thousands of our boys aro In mortal combat and governments are trembling In the bal ance. "In addition to war support and ac tivity, I give special prominence to two subjects tho development by America of a foremost place In world commerce through the encouragement along profit able lines of our new merchant marine and the reformation of national finances through tho adoption of a business-like budget system, because 1 consider these Issues of Immediate and paramount im portance; nnd If chosen Senator I will concentrate my efforts chiefly on their successful accomplishment as I have on specific Improvements In State affairs." a .?, the imperative necessity of supplying there, are taken into K 'Our boysV over .,.' vuiioiuBimiuii, WWho could find !t In his heart to .Complain against waiting a few min utes for an elevator or walking an extra "-."ouare or flight of stairs If onlv' ho f, stopped to realize that some humble i family might be kept warm this winter A by the coal thus saved?
