NEWS OF STEELTON CHARGECOKE OVENS TODAY Battery of Eighty Placed in Operation; Increases Daily Output by Eighteen Cars With the placing in operation of Blast Furnace A at the local steel plant some time next month, the largest part of the Schwab improve ment program at the local plant will be completed. A battery of eighty coke ovens were charged to-day and officials ex pect to draw coke some time Wed nesday. These ovens were scheduled to go into operation on Friday but because c/f several leaky gas connec tions it was impossible to charge them. The repairs were made and the ovens were charged this morn ing with F. A. Robbins, Jr.. general manager of the plant, and several other officials as witnesses. The new battery of ovens will be able to produce about eighteen cars of coke daily. This output added to about twenty-five cars from the 120 ovens which have been in operation a long time will give the local plant about forty-five cars of fuel daily from this source. Even with this amount of coke the local plant will lie unable to manufacture enough coke for its own use. the daily amount of this fuel consumed being approximately sixty-five cars. The ovens have been in the course of ronstructlon for about eighteen months. When work was first started they were to have been com pleted in a year, but because of the scarcitv of material the work was lield up at intervals in the last eight months. The H.

Ireland to Start Search For Ancient Deposits of Gold Dublin.— Gold mining in Ireland is a possibility of the near future hinted at in a report of a committee organ ized here to make a survey of Ire land's mineral wealth. It is believed that ancient deposits of gald. which were worked in the late eighteenth century along the Ballinvally stream, might be found commercially profit able under modern mining methods. According to the published state ment. the first discovery of gold along the Ballinvally was made in 1796. when a nugget weighing half ari ounce was picked up. The search continued for two months, and at the end of that time 2,666 ounces of pure gold had been found. The gold found ranged from tiny atoms to nuggets weighing over a pcund. One nugget weighed twenty two ounces, measuring four inches in length by three in breadth. A gilded plaster cast of this nugget which was retained by the finder has recently been placed on exhibition at Trinitv College. Dublin. As late as 1556 nugget weighing six ounces was picked up in the Ballinvally. and it is believed that with the latest modern methods a sub stantial profit, could be made from in tensive operations in this district. The spots proposed for experiment are at fronehane. Ballinvally. Crogan-Mor and Killahurian. The New Thrift Food Holly Rice and Milk.

' HUNS PROPOSE PEACE TO ITALY Usual Attempt to Break Down Morale Tried Again by Germany Washington.—That Germany has offered "an honorable peace' to Italy was disclosed by Premier Orlando before the Italian Chamber of Depu ties yesterday, according to Rome cables. In the course of a statement to the chamber Premier Orlando referred to the announcement which was made by him about a fortnight ago that the Central Powers had made overtures to Italy for a separate peace. The premier's comment that this proposal had -been rejected promptly by the Italian government was greeted by an enthusiastic dem onstration. Advices received here do not indi cate the nature of the temptations held out to Italy, but reports from Rome, current at the time first news was given of this attempt to break the solidarity of the Entente alliance indicated that Emperor Charles was the prime mover in the attempt at peace negotiations and that he had held out a promise of extension of the Italian border northward in rec ognition of Italy's predominating influence over the eastern shore of the Adriatic, besides some minor concessions relating to the status of Italian subjects in Austria. The peace move was launched "re cently"—probably as a step in antici pation of the Austrian drive. These are the same tactics employed by the Germans before their last as sault on Italy— designed to break the morale of the Italian troops. That the Teutons would pursue such a course was forecast some time ago by the Italians. At that it was stated that Ger many would also extend her proffer through the usual concealed chan nels to other powers fighting against her. Here's Some Verse For Mr. Hindenburg i.ondon. —The following lines ap peared recently in the London Mail: : 'Tis a year, so they say. Tho' it seems like a day. Since America parted From peace and just started To fight: but the time's very near. When the Huns, without a doubt. To their cost will And out That each day will seem more like a year.

ECI7SUSBURG TELEGRAPH iRAILROAD WOMAN PROBLEM IS WORKING OUT Pennsy's Female Help Making (iood in Many and Varied Branches The woman problem is no longer uncertain with the Pennsylvania Railroad. The Philadelphia division is now falling into line and will soon hu\ e a big army of women. Just now the female forces number sev eral hundred. Training facilities to ascertain ability of women is bring ing good results. An analysis of the figures for the record of labor turn over during the ten-day period between May 27 and June 5, inclusive, on all divisions of the Pennsylvania Railroad east of Pittsburgh has been made. During the period named 4.777 employes left the service and 5,122 new ones were hired. This net gain, however, occurred during the last two days of the period named and was ap parently sporadic. These figures re late only to divisional forces and exclude those in the general offices. Women Succeed .Men A remarkable thing shown up in this list is that during that period lin question 1,454 more women were hired than meanwhile left the serv ice. It also shows that during that period of time 900 male employes were lost as against a gain of 1,545 female workers. The total divisional forces average approximately 150,- 000 and records kept through the year show that the rate of turn over is approximately 100 per cent. The Central Grand division of the I Pennsylvania, with headquarters in i Wllliamsport. composes the Wil- I liamsport. Renovo. Sunbury and El ; nura divisions. In May the number iof women employed on this grand \ division was 774 and this number I has since been increased until now |it it approximately 1.000. What Women Are Doing I To give an idea of what the worn j en are doing it may be stated that in ■ Xla> there were thirty-four women j car cleaners on this grand division, two women machine hands in the | boiler shop, one in the blacksmith 1 shop and three in the machine shop jat Renovo. There were fourteen women shop hands on the Williams port division and twelve track la borers. with a total of forty-one itrack laborers on the grand division. | The Williamsport division had three women tower cleaners, four locomo ! tive cleaners, two cooks, twenty ' three station clerks, one draughting ; apprentice, five storehouse attend ants, fourteen messengers, six stu- I dent operators, twenty-seven block ' telephone operators and numerous | clerks and stenographers. : On the Renovo division there are twelve women freight truckers, three steam hammer operators and one ; transfer table operator and on the r Klmira division there are two cross -1 ins watchwomen. Yankee Swaps Tales With A King New York. — Despite the veracious ; adventures of Mark Twain's Yankee i in the Court of King Arthur, it is an ! unusual thing for a Yankee of the present day to have a chance to i swap yarns with a king, as man to j man. Hamilton Holt, editor of "The independent " who has just returned : to this city from Italy, had that ex , perience. Mr. Holt went to Italy as a representative of the Italy-Amer l ica Society of this country, at the time of the celebration of Italy's third war anniversary. While there he had an informal interview with the king, in the course of which | they exchanged numerous anecdotes, i a pastime of which Victor Emanuel j is very fond. \ One of the king's stories illustrated ! the ingenuity of Italian war prison ers in Austria in communicating with their families. One Italian private wrote home from an Austrian prison describing at great length the splen did treatment he was receiving, com fortable quarters and clothing, good , care and plentiful food, nothing but I kindness from the guards. "In | short," he concluded, "they treat me in every way as though I were Bap tiste." The Austrian censor supposed lie referred to John the Baptist, as a climax of eulogy and readily passed tht letter. Baptiste. it seems, was the name of a mangy old cur suffered to live in an outbuilding of the soldier's I home and subject to general neglect and abuse. The truei meaning of the letter was therefore eloquently obvious to his family. Congress Is Captured by the Hustling Elks Atlantic City, X.

Aircraft Stock Output Must Be Thrice Increased Port land, Oregon. July 3.—To in crease the production of airplane stock from ten million to thirty mil lion feet of spruce a month is the aim of the spruce division of the army, according to Colonel Brice P. Disque, commanding the spruce production division of the signal corps, under whose direction the \ast work of forcing the production of spruce, has been speeded up to a JULY S. 1918. ■•"iriarkable degree. Colonel Disque now propoHes even larffer operations, for he says "spruce will win the war.'' Portland is the center of the groat spruce area of the Pacific Northwest. Colonel Disque's vast organisation occupies three floors of one of Port land's largest business blocks, and to meet the requirements of the gov ernment and to attain the great pro duction sought by Colonel Disque, the organization in Oregon will greatly be increased. Already an army of men is at work in the for ests. in the cut-up mills, and in the traftlc departments preparing the raw stock, and semi-tlnished spruce products for the great aeroplane manufacturers of the country, and for shipment to our allies. The work of the spruce division has increased many fold since Its inception. From fourteen to six teen thousand men are now engaged, and within a very short time the number of men employed will ap proximate thirty thousand.
