LONTVYN, Ort a There has been a
great Increase In recruiting throughout
the country during the past week, ao
oordlng to a number of newspapers. The
Manchester Guardian says recruiting Is
now going on at a higher rats than any
reached slnoe the early months of the
war. King Oeorge's proclamation and the
execution of Miss Edith Cavell In Bel
glum both having been the causa of bring
ing many into tha ranks. The Increase,
It Is noted. Is despite tha tact that Lord
Derby's scheme for calling men by sec
tions, drawing first tha unmarried and
those not engaged In work connected with
tha military production, has not yet bees
put Into operation. Manchester and Bir
mingham are Included among tha centers
showing the best result.
One of the chief obstacles confront
ing tha authorities Is the attitude of many
mployera, who. Instead of urging their
men to join the colors, are not only re
fusing to grant them allowances, as was
done In the earlier stages of the war, but
will not guarantee that employes who en
ilst shall bit reinstated In their positions
on their return. This matter Is being
Investigated by labor leaders, who prob
ably will make a report to Lord Derby.

IRON AND STEEL IN
MIDST BIGREY1YAL
Every Blast Furnace in United
States Working: Say and Night
to Its Capacity.
PRICES ADVANCE ONE-THIRD
NEW YORK, Oct 28. So great
haa been the general revival In the
Iron and ateel trade of the United
States, It was said by authorities to
day, that with virtually every blast
furnace and steel-mill In the country
working night and day to capacity,
the demand for iron, steel and steel
products cannot be satisfied, and It
ia today almost Impossible to buy, for
Immediate delivery, pig iron, scrap
and ingots In sizable quantltlea at
Industrial plants la the country.
'Within three months, the price of
pig Iron, long regarded as the barom
eter of trade, haa Increased approxi
mately 35 per cent, and that of ateel
and steel producta (except ateel
rails), haa gone up about 15 per
cent.
At ths present time tha demand for
pig iron and for tha various lines of
steel is in excess of the producing ca
pacity of tha furnaces and mills of the
United States," reads a statement Issued
today by Judge Elbert H. Gary, cflalr
man of tha United States Steel corpora
tion. "Tiie manufacturers are unable
to make deliveries entirely , satisfactory
to the purchasers with respect to a large
majority of tha different kin da of fin
ished ateel.
"There la nothing to indicate that TTiere
will be s decrease in the demand for
any of theas producta for some time.
While piioes received are atlll low, they
have been and are Increasing, and. ap
parently will go higher, that fair
and reasonable profits may be expected.
"Of course, these very satisfactory con
ditions are mora or less affected by
tha war business, so-called, yet It la un
doubtedly true that there la a better
feeling throughout the general Iron and
steel trade than has been experienced
for some years past."
Experts who have followed ths rising
fortunes of Iron and aXeel within the
last twelve mouths, asserted today that
tha volume of business, both domestic
and foreign, at present ia more than
double what It was a year ago, and that
there are today ITC.OOO men employed at
tr,,n u' '' plants throughout the
United States who were not on the pay
rolls a year ago. This Is about a 60 per
cent Increase.
Ths fires havs been lighted in virtually
every blast furnace In the United States.
In tha case of ths steel corporation the
last remaining Idle furnace, at Columbus,
O., Is now being put Into operation.
Reel and steel products are rolling out
of ths mills today at the rate of 60,
000,000 tons a year. It Is conservatively
estimated, and Iron Is being manufac
tured at ths rate of 40.000,000 tone.
Hallroad Plaeea Olsi Order.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct Orders for
lTEi.000 tons of steel rails were placed by
tha Pennsylvania Railroad company tc
; day. Those rails oover ths 1916 require
ments 'of ths road.
In addition, an order was placed with
the Baldwin Locomotive woras for the
construction of seventy-flvs heavy freight
looomotlvea for immediate delivery.
Producers Meet
With Consumers
CHICAGO. Oct. a.-The first national
conference of producers and consumers,
organised for the purpose of eliminating
tlie middleman and his profits, was held
here today. Delegates were present rep
resenting the American Society of Equity,
the Farmers' Educational Co-Operative
union, the Farmers' Iviulty uidon, the
i "iimnera. ine American reuerauon or
!bor end the Patrona of Husbandry.
Arthur Le euuer, vies president of the
fsopls's college of Fort Bcott. Kan., ex-
plained that the flot stup of the plan
muat be the affiliation of the fanners
and workliu;men. After that, he said,
would be municipal markets and pro
ducers stores where the middleman e
profits would bo eliminated.

Sunken Submarine
Wil Not Be Repaired
WA311 1 NQTON. Ort. . Submarine
F-4, In which twenty-one officers and
men of the navy lost their lives last
March at Honolulu, will not be repaired.
Navy officials said today the vessel'a in
juries were so extensive that It waa not
considered practical to repair and refit
the boat.
The other three boats of the "F" class
will be tpwed to San Francisco for re
fitting, and have already been taken out
of commission until this Is done. Con
gress will ,be asked this winter to pro
vide for new engines snd batteries for
the boats, as tha present equipment is
unsatisfactory. ,
The report of the board of officers
which examined the F-4 has been sent to
all submarine commanders in the navy
In order that they may be warned to
watch for signs of conditions such
those which resulted In the

of

Nebraska Wheat is
Moving to the Gulf
With Omaha . wheat ' receipts running
around 100 carloads per day, tha elevators
are not filling up, due to the fact that
almost aa soon as the grain arrives it is
blended, loaded out and sent on. Ths
result of this Is that the quantity of
wheat In storage In Omaha continues to
be st the lowest point since the city be
came a grain market.
For the last thirty days, and as a mat
ter of fact, ever since the German sub
marines have discontinued attacking
(ocean-going steamers the export grain
business out of Omaha has been tha
heaviest In the history of the market
At this time practically all ths wheat
coming Into Omaha goes to the south
and Is sent abroad by way of the Qulf
