MUNITIONS IN
HUGE LOTS CAN
BE MADE HERE
Central Pennsylvania Will Be
One Great Shop For Making
Engines of War
• TAKE NO CHANCES ON* *
• POSSIBLE DYNAMITERS •
• The United States Govern- ♦
• ment la takins no chances that •
• some misguided zealot or paid •
• dynamiter will destroy those *
• plants In which munitions can •
• be manufactured. Throughout *
• the country to-day heads of es- •
• tablishments were refusing in- *
• formation regarding their pos- •
• slble capacity. Harrisburg was •
• no exception to this rule. *
• ••♦••••••
In the event of war with the en
tente allies, Hjirrlsburg and its manu
facturing plants would be able on
short notice to supply the Federal
Government with huge quantities ot
ammunition of all kinds.
But information as to these quanti
ties is not obtainable. A week ago,
perhaps, these plants would have fur
nished the figures. To-day it is dif
ferent. Has word been received that
to permit the dissemination of this in
formation may result in activities on
the part of the dynamiters who, it is
believed, have been responsible for in
numerable explosions in various parts
of the country?
Will Commandeer Allies' Supplies
If war is declared the United States
Government will commandeer all mu
nition. supplies already prepared and
in course of manufacture for the al
lies. This means that huge quantities
of shells, shell cases, shrapnel, deto
nating caps and other munitions now
on hand in Harrisburg will go to the
Federal Government. It is said that
in at least one local plant to-day word
was received that no further ship
ments must be made until permission
is received from authorities at Wash
ington.
Plant Heads Reticent
Among the heads of the several
Harrisburg establishments in a posi
tion to manufacture tnunitions not one
man could be found this morning who
would consent to say in just what
quantities these munitions could be
produced.
"I have nothing to say," was the re
ply from all.
"For God's sake." said the manager
of one big plant, "don't say that we
are in a position to turn out war sup
plies."
It is known that the Harrisburg
Pipe Bending Company can make mil
lions of dollars' worth of munitions in
a few months.
Quincy Bent, of the Pennsylvania
Steel Company, would give 110 figures
011 the possible capacity of Central
Pennsylvania plants able to make mu
nitions.
•"it would depend," lie said, "upon
what is wanted. Further than that I
have nothing to say."
Other plant heads were equally reti
cent.
Bethlehem largest Producer
There is no plant in eastern Penn
sylvania, outside of Philadelphia,
which could turn out such huge quan
tities of munitions as Bethlehem Steel.
And this company's total output, down
to the last bit of shrapnel, will doubt
less be commandeered by the United
States in the event of war. The same
thing is true of the Westinghouse and
other corporations in Pittsburgh, the
Cambria Steel Company in Johnstown,
the Remington and other factories In
tbe Philadelphia district. Pennsyl
vania would rank as the nation's chief
munition maker.
TEN DROWN
London, Feb. 3.—Ten members of
the crew of the British steamer Esse
nite, previously reported sunk, were
drowned. Lloyds shipping agency an
nounced to-day. The captain and two
men of the crew have been landed. J

on accelerated operations, rails drop
ping 1 to 2 points with greater losses
in industrials and specialties. In the
last half hour a broad and general
buying movement under Mead of United
States Steel soon turned many pre
vious losses to substantial not gains.
Steel rose to 104Vs, a gain of 4 points
with 2 to 6 points in war Issues. Utah
Copper and shippings and 30 poinis in
Bethlehem Steel. The closing was ex
tremely feverish and strong as to im

Fifty-Three More
Jitney Cases Here
The Harrisburg Hallways Cotr.pany
to-day Hied fifty-three additions), com
plaints against jitney' operators in this
city, charging that they were run
ning jitneys -without public service
certificates of public convenience and
that there was no need for them 4s
the trolley service is adequate. The
I contention is that the cases (lied to
day and the eleven filed on Wednes
day bring the jltneymen under the
provisions of the decisions In the
Wilkes-Barre and Allegheny Valley
cases in which men were ordered to
obtain certificates in some cases and
refused right to operate on the ground
that they were unnecessary for public
accommodation. The Jitneymen will
fight the cases.
nORX OF DESPERATION
Petrograd. via Eondon, Feb. 2.—The
Russian newspapers consider Ger
many's blockade announcement a
measure born of desperation because
of falling food supplies and the failure
of Germany's peace measures. The
Volia says the submarine order is a
contradiction of the rules of inter
national law. since the blockade will
be necessarily restricted to "the usual
pirate acts."
