Almost All Stations South of
Trenton Close at Seven

Witn a few exceptions, stations on the
Pennsjlvanla Railroad south of Tren-
ton. In New Jersey, beginning tomor
row will be dosed about 7 p. m. and
pnssengers must wait for trains out on
tho platforms and buy tickets on the
I trains. Since tho war nearly all the
night station agents have been women,
and theso have all been discharged.
Thus between Camp Dlx and Camden
only two stations are kept open. These
ore at Mount Holly nnd Pensauken,
where there arc telegraph operators
used In the movement of trains. Towns
with 3000 and 4000 Inhabitants, such as
Moorestown, Merchantvllle and Maple
Shade, arc without station facilities
after the arrival of tho late afternoon
trains.
Tha reason given for this changp Is to
effect economies. In an appeal to the
United States Senators and Representa
tives from New Jersey the South Jer
sey Commuters' Association says:
"The closing of the stations, follow-
lng on numerous other Impositions on

benefit of the visitors.
The government has Its largest prov

American ordnance development wcro
revealed which will rank our own ex

There were guns fired of the largest

Another wnH an eight-Inch howitzer
i of British design built solely In tho Mid

coast artillery in France. It weighs ten
tons and has a range of 10,500 yards..
Its projectile could be plainly seen.
Some Rapid Firing
A tlirco-mch antiaircraft gun fired ten
shots In twenty-nine seconds. Three
contrasting types of the famous seventy,
five were demonstrated, those of the
French, British and American design.
The range of the American gun ex
ceeded the French by 2800 yards, The
projectile traveled 9700 jards.
In the tests excess pressure was used.
Shrapnel and high exploslvo Shells were
used. A small thirty-seven millimeter
gun fired explosive bullets. This gun was
adapted to the tanks.
Several high-pcwered riflefe were shown
also. The hundred and fifty-five how
itzer revealed great mobility and a range
of nineteen thousand yards. It Is used

'mtely afterward they continued their
tour. i
Kapeclal Interest was taken In the fuse
tests.
The fuse s ustd to cause the shrapnel
to function at a certain distance from
the muzilo of the gun. One fuse was
tested which Ignited at fifty feet from
the muzzle. In actual combat this would
result In tho bui sting of the shrapnel
at that distance. It Is employed to repel
an enemy about to take a bnttcry. The
French were nble to effect a enrdster at
no less than 200 feet
In a seventy-nvi" millimeter gun the
bursting" shrapnel la equivalent to 250
men firing at point blank forty-five
calibre automat io revolvers.
One could, of course, hear the whiz
and the bang of the shells In the weird
sort of broken chorus,
(irnrral Method Followed
The general method followed In this
teat shooting Is us follows; The gun Is
aimed at a certain Held at a particular
distance away. In the neltl are men
protected by bomb-proof shelters who
make a dlpgrnm of the hits. They go
out and dig up the shells which aro
Imbedded in the ground. This is a very
dangerous part of the work, The men
are called retrievers. '
In the teitlng of the fuses men ure
stationed In towers with stop watches.
They record the time between the firing
of theIoad and the Igniting of the fuse.
As each gun was readied Captain
Alvln Kchaller explained to the group4
the test to be made and the mechanism
and characteristics of the weapon.
The special train bringing the Phila
delphians left llroad street at 8:37 this
morning, and arrived here at 10:46. Tho
