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. Koppers Companv.
o:' Pittsburgh, ere .ted the ovens.
The new blast furnace, which has
been in the course of construction
for a long time, is expected to be
completed early next month. At the
presert time there are six furnaces
in blast at the local plant. When the
new furnace is placed in operation

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.

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.

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

as to what the verdict of history may

as to whether his country's interests
would not have been better served by
a neutrality frankly frlentHy to the
allies.
The machinations of the German
espionage system have in several in
stances been glaringly exposed.
