iV£WS OF BETHLEHEM PLANT RUSHES BIG GUNS Steel Works in Midst of an Or der to Be Finished For Mer- chant Ships by June Bethleham, Pa., April 7.—Precedence Is being given at the Bethlehem Steel k Works over all other work to an order from the United States navy for 150- guns for the arming of United States merchant ships. These guns are won derful weapons and will be so mounted that they can be .used both as anti aircraft rifles and for the shooting at submarines, since the standard on which they will be placed enables gunner to point them almost straight upward as well as horizontally and downward. The rifles are about fourteen feet long, and their general appearance, when finished, gives them the look of being very slender, since at the thick est part they are only seven inches in diameter. They tire a 3-inch shell. When an order gets precedence at Bethlehem it means that the work will be turned out rapidly. Even under the eight-hour law tney are being made in the rough at a rate of more than a dozen a day. The entire lot of 150 is td be finished ready for mounting on merchant vessels by June. This means that they must be bored and finished and the breech mechanism placed at a rate of more than two a day. They are calculated to send a shell at least 10,000 feet.

The extent of the winter wheat crop, usually about two-thirds of the entire production of wheat in this country, is a vital question inasmuch as the allies will depend to a large degree upon American supplies, and Argentina has placed an embargo on wheat and flour exports. Weallier Hr*ponlble The winter wheat crops of the United States will be about 430.000,000, the department announved In its first esti mate of the crop which was sown last autumn on one of the largest acre ages ever planted, but which had ad verse conditions through the winter. year 481.744.000 bushels ware harvested, and 673,947,000 bushels were produced In 1915. Condition on April 1 was 63.4 per cent, of a normal, compared with 78.3 last year; 88.8 in 1916, and 86.2 the ten year average. The condition decreased 22.3 points from December 1 to April 1, compared with an average decline of four points In the past ten years between those dates.

Green and Cumberland Streets The cigar with a personality KING OSCAR 5c CIGAR lias been making new friends and hold ing the old ones for more than a quar ter of a century by being "always the same" and always good. JOHN C. HERMAN & CO. Makers % I 11 FIRST CALL WILL AFFECT 8,000 HERE [Continued From First Page] recorded by the assessors is probably 3,000 less than it should be. Here tofore, with no immediate danger of war, the enrollment was not made quite as accurately as it could have been, with the result that complete in formation is not available. With the passage of the Beidleman 1 bill now pending in the Legislature, the coun ty commissioners will have the power to make another military enrollment this spring. If the bill is approved, this roll will be ordered at once for Dauphin county and will includo everyone between the age of 18 and 45. I believe there are fully 30,000 in Dauphin county between those ages." As the approximate average num ber of men for each yearly age limit is about 1,150, based on a total of 28,000 available in the county, the total number between the ages of l'J and 25 would probably be about 8,050. This estimate Is not too high Com missioner Stine asserted. While some of these probably would be exempted because of dependents, physical disability or because they are employed in making munitions, the total will not be greatly diminished, Commissioner Stine said. The idea to have present laws amended so that a military enroll ment can be made whenever County Commissioners direct and will include all aliens, was originated by Commis sioner Stine. The bill now pending in Legislature was prepared by County Solicitor Philip S. Moyer and if pass ed will affect the entire State.
