Tokio to Move Against Arms Traffickers in Siberia TOKIO, Ocr. 3 (By The Associated Press).?The Cabinet to-day decided to take drastic action agaim,t those re? sponsible for the disposal of quantities of arms in Siberia. The arms in que?- ' tion belonged to the Czecho-Slovak i troops who evacuated Siberia two years ago. A formal protest and claim for 800,000 yen have been filed with the Japanese government. Two cruisers and four destroyers have gone to Vladivostok to cover the withdrawal of the Japanese troops and to protect nationals thereafter, as it is feared there will be heavy fi-hing be? tween the Soviet Red force? anil the Whites, of anti-Soviet troops. Thcro already have been engagements be? tween these forces near Lako Hank?, about 100 miles north of Vladivostok. . .,.?.,? . Hungary to Ount Undesirable! BUDAPEST, Oct. 4- A new reglstra I tion of all foreigners residing in Ilun j gaiy. with a view to weeding oat on* I desirables, has hern ordered by Min I ister of the Interior Rakovsky. "F<->1 i lowing the example of the United States," said M, Bakovsky, "Hungary j must protect her scanty supplies and reservo her country's business oppor I tunities for her own citizens.'' A.?.*?J "?i*--? ?OR more than thirty years Stone & Webster have acted as engineers and advisers for important manufacturing and public utility companies. They have examined and reported to managers, security holders and bankers on financial requirements, physical condi? tion, operating costs, valuation, inventories, plant extension and earning capacity of industrials and utilities. They have appraised properties to the value of three and one-half billion dollars. Stone & Webster have designed and built a million and a half horse power of steam and hydro-electric power stations, thousands of miles of power transmission lines, hundreds of miles of electric railways, and some of the largest industrial plants of recent years. This work is in three hundred and thirty cities in forty one states and seven foreign countries. The foreign contracts include water power work, build? ing construction, railroads and sanitary works in South America and Japan. ELECTRIC power from Stone & Webster plants trans? mitted long distances by Stone & Webster high-voltage lines is giving old cities new industrial importance. Beginning thirty years ago with one of the first alter? nating current power plants in the country Stone & Webster have built enough mileage of main power transmission lines for a super-power system reaching from Niagara Falls east to New York and Boston, west to Chicago, St. Louis and Minneapolis and south to Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. Nearly twenty years ago Stone & Webster built one of the fir3t large hydro-electric plants in the far west; now every important city on the Coast from Cenada to the Mexican Border receives power from one or more hydro-electric developments designed and built by the organisation. Four o? these plants provide power to move electrically-hauled transcontinental trains over the mountains to the Coast Stone & Webster water power work covers plants of all types and of ail sizes. It includes the largest high-head and largest low-head developments in the world as well as plants as small as 500 kilowatts capacity? CONSERVATION of fuel has been one of the results of Stone & Webster work. The coal saved to date by the operation of the record high-head and low-head plants above mentioned would be sufficient to operate the public utilities of Greater New York for two years. Another kind of conservation is the use of waste from coal mines as commercial fuel. An enormous mine dump, long regarded as refuse, has been for the last tar?e years the chief source of fuel for a large power plant converted for its use by Stone & Webster. Conservation also shows* in the high operating'efficiency of Stone & Webster plants. A boiler plantrecently completed for The American Sugar Refining Company at Baltimore, shows a very marked advance in efficiency over any previous plant burning river-dredged anthracite. In one of the great industrial states (a leader-in the race for economy and efficiency), the records of the public utilities commission show that a power station designed and built by Stone & Webster operates 16.5% cheaper than its nearest competitor and 26% cheaper than the average of the next ten stations, and a gas plant designed and built by Stone & Webster operates 63% cheaper than its nearest competitor and 30.4% cheaper than the average of the next ten plants. N industrial construction Stone & Webster have built plants of all sizes for the sugar, rubber, glass, textile, steel, chemical and many other industries. Some of these plants are the largest and most modern in the respective industries. In numerous instances Stone & Webster have cooperated with the client's engineers in designing the plants, combining their general experience in plant planning and con? struction with the client's specific experience in his own processes. i ' ON-industriui buildings include the work of leading architects and comprise office buildings, educational institutions, hospitals, hotels, apartments and whole towns. For the largest bank in New England and for the oldest fire insurance company in North America, Stone & Webster are now building new home office buildings. IOWiCOST construction depends largely on purchasing j power. In addition to buying the large amount of equipment and materials for general construction purposes as here outlined, Stone & Webster act as purchasing agents for fifty six public utility companies. The knowledge of markets which comes from placing this volume of business combined with the ability to get the materials on the job when needed saves the clients of Stone & Webster millions of* dollars. RAPID construction is characteristic of much of Stone & Webster's work. The main power supply of?? city of 300,000 was cut off by destruction of the centra} power station. A new general system of power generation and distribution was worked out, the detail engineering designs were made and the system was installed, tested and put in operation in eight months from the date of original disaster. During the War when speed was the first requirement in construction the following Washington press despatch appeared on September ? 3,1917? "O^Kirtermaister GeneraTs office at Washington has pro? duced a keen rivalry among the contractors building the sixteen National Army Cantonments by posting periodical bulletins showing relative accomplishment. The final bulletin has just been posted, and Stone & Webster stand at the head of the- list -with? 99 7-10 per cent of their work done." THE Stone & Webster organization was largely used by the United States Government for war work. They built three arsenals at home, the main ordnance base in France, the mainm?ation school for the army, a second avia? tion school, the National Army ?cantonment above referred to, a National Guard campy a balloon school and the Hog Island Shipyard. It was necessary to furnish the organizations for all these jobs at the same time. Probably no such demand was ever made on one company or firm, but each undertaking became ?an achievement, either for speed, low cost or both. The Hog Island Shipyard is > best known. It is the largest project ever undertaken by the Government except? ing the Panama Canal and occupies first place in the pride of this organization as an example of a great piece of construction work rapidly and well done. RELIABLE engineering reports and good designing and construction are both based on the close cooperation and team work of specialists of long standing and sound judgment. Sixteen years is the average time that the thirty prin? cipal officers and executives of Stone & Webster have worked together. This accounts for the speed, accuracy, economy and thoroughness of the work habitually turned out. E 8c Webster INCORPORATED BOSTON, 147 Milk ?Street SAN FRANCISCO, HaJbrook Bldg. CHICAGO, 3S S.
