England to day began a. campaign for the virtual enlistment of skilled labor for the munition factories because the British army is almost helpless for lack of war supplies, principally shells. David Lloyd-George, minister of munitions, said Wednesday night thit the labor leaders had asked him for seven days' time In which to rally the workers, promising to put advertisements in all the newspapers and open ISO recruit ing offices. Lloyd-George said he granted the request, but told the labor leaders that unless an army of labor was Immediately forthcoming, compul sory service would be required. Representatlve Sent To IT. S. After emphasizing the absolute necessity of vast supplies of guns and ammunition, which he described as the great essential of victory, the minister announced that he had sent David Alfred Thomas, managing director of great colliery companies in 'South Wales and known as the "British coal king." to represent the munitions de partment in the United States and 'Canada. Respecting this appointment the min ister said: "There is not the slightest Idea of superceding our existing agencies. They have worked admirably and have saved us many millions.' Germany Was Prepared. Speaking of German preparation, the minister said . ."?""." "",? "" "" erIaL.. UntA sh6 T,ra ready she ma was friendly with everybody.

"If that trickery Is to succeed all the bases of international e-ood w II will crumble to dust. It is for the good of the world that It shjuld fall, and It Is up to see that It does. "If valor alone would have succeeded, the valor of our own men at the front would have achieved It long ago. Endlnd Needs Long; Time. "It will take months before we can obtain the maximum outp' V' Lloyd George went on. "Existing firms are unable to deliver goods in accordance with agreement because they can not man the machines. It ii entirely a question of labor. If I could lay my hands on an adequate supply of skilled labor I could double in a. few weeks our supply of machine guns. "I cannot forecast Germany's next move. If she swings her forces from the east to the west it is vital for the lines of our troops that every avail able machine gun should be produced. It Is essential that trade union restric tions which Interfere with a great out put of munitions shall temporarily be suspended at once. There must be a stoppage in slackness and an end must be put to the practice of employers pilfering each other's men. There must be no strikes or lock-outs during the war." Factories Increase Output. The minister of munitions said he realized that the existing armament factories were inadequate to supply the new or old armies. A vast improve ment already has been noted by Invit ing business men to organize In their own localities. I"or instance, through local organization in one town alone.

In London, he said, there would soon be another Woolwich arsenal, able to turn out prodigious quantities of mar muni tions. Slay SeLie Metal Market. Mr. Lloyd-George added: "It may be necessary to take control of the metal market In order that valu able material is not wasted In non essentials. In the meanwhile the de partment is procuring full Informa tion regarding stocks of raw and semi manufactured metaL "I am sorry to say that there, are In dications of the holding up of supplies of material in certain quarters for higher prices.

As many skilled men as possible will be brought back from the army, but the task will be difficult -as the men prefer fighting to working In the shops." TAGES ZEITCNG ALLOWED TO RESUME PUBLICATION Berlin, Germany, June 21. The Tages Zeltung. the publication of which was suspended last Monday by the German authorities, reappeared today. The sus pension order against this paper was issued, according to the general un derstanding, because of an article on the American note to Germany un friendly In Its tone to the United States. The first reissue of the Tages zel tung contains another article by count von Reventlow, whose previous state ments on German-American relations are supposed to haTe incurred the dis pleasure of the authorities. In todays article count von Reventlow makes a covert attack upon president Wilson in connection with reports that a peace conference is to be held in Switzerland, supposedly at the instiga tion of the president. After mentioning these reports, the count says: "Meanwhile president Wilson has closed the Panama canal to shipping trade, in order that transportation ot ammunition and other war materials from eastern harbors of the United States to Vladivostok for the Increas ing Russian fighting strength, shall n.A su"er Interruption.

London, Ens., June SI. The Norweg ian steamer Bergensfjord. together with Dr. Bernhard Dernburg. has been released by the British authorities and will sail from Kirkwall tonight. Interest In Dernburg. New York, June H.In the absence of details concerning the seizure of the Norwegian- merlcan liner Bergens fjord. detained by the British at Kirk wall, there was much speculation here today as to what had happened to Dr. 'Bernhard Dernburg, forme; colonial secretary of the German empire. He sailed from here on the steamer June IS under guarantees of safe conduct given by representatives In America of the allied powers. Censor Delayed News. All that was definitely known was that the steamer's voyage to Bergen, Norway, had been interrupted. This in telligence reached New York after a two days delay by the British censor, the dispatch being filed last Monday and delayed In transmission till Wed nesday. The dispatch also stated that the Swedish steamer Varying, from Savannah, for Swedish ports, likewise was detained by the British authori ties. In maritime circles the detention of the Bergensfjord, apart from the fact that Dr. Dernburg and his wife were aboard, was not regarded as of un usual significance, although in most cases where trans-Atlantic liners have been detained the delay has been long est on the west bound voyage. The steamer Frederick VIII which reached New York today from Scandinavian ports, was detained a day at Stornaway, and the Dutch liner Noordam, arriving Wednesday, was held up three days at KlrkwalL Passengers Removed. Officers and passengers of the Scandinavian-American line steamer Fred erick VIII from Scandinavian ports, said on arrival today that four passen gers, two cabin and two steerage, were taken off by British authorities at Stornoway, where the steamer was di verted by the British patrol, because they were apparently of German birth.

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION IS CAUSE OF FLAMES Spontaneous combustion, believed to have been caused by heat generated in woolen mattresses folded on the sleeping porch, resulted In an outburst of flame which for a time endangered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Hun ter, 301S Bliss street, shortly after noon Thursday. Cotton mattresses, with some other woolens, had been folded and lay on a box on the porch against the brick wall of the house.
