The work in East Africa alone is a little less than start- ling. Commenced during the pastorate | of Hezikia Davis this mission now has i a membership larger than the mother | i nary convention church with numerous out stations manned in part by native teachers who have been educated under the { supervision of the missionaries and made efficient helpers in gencral sep- vice. The civilizing such the Bri effects have been h government has re- | auested the missionaries to open up 2 { or 30 more stations as soon as possi- ble. The sermons and addresses of the convention wer of character to give strength and inspiration for new and hopeful endeavor, As an indication of this it is deserving of mention that a losing appeal last evening for con- tributions in aid of the work realized the handsome sum of $1,028.12, Bet- ter than the amount raised was the jovful spirit in which it was given. Besides speakers whose names ap- peared on the programme there were present ministers from several of neighboring and distant congregations.

The main differ- ences of opinion as to the absorption of the full steel output by the govern- ment turn on the time factor. If all the steel in the surprising the War Board can applied to ship, projectile, track, locomotive, farm implement, ofl well, structural and other war uses in the specified delivery period, there 13 no escape from the canclusion that little steel can be had for ordinary consumption this year. The stcel men have doubted figures, arguing that no such tonnage could be used unless plants to turn out hundreds of ship engines and boilers can spring up al- most over night. Nevertheless, the steel committee has gone to work .0 increase at once deliveries of plates, shell steel and rails, in which demands are most pressing. May now prom- ises the largest production in 12 months of both pig iron and steel in- ! Steel and Pig | e car, the | gots. The most serious factor in the :nu— ation is the lass of three months’ time in the placing of locomotive and car orders—a delay costing the Allies thousands of tons of steel that by no bility can now he delivered in Some of the steel far the new cars has been allocated this week, in- cluding 000 tons of plates to the Steel Corporation. The total of plates, shapes and bars for cars is 922,110 tons, deliveries to be made in 120 days, beginning June 20. The Midvale Steel & Ordnance Co. is about contracting to build and op- erate for the government a great plant at Nicetown, Pa., to turn out 16-inch howitzers, additional land being ac- quired by the government. For this and the Neville Island gun and pro- jectile plant, which the Steel Corpora- tion has just started to build, more heavy machine taols are wanted than present capacity for such tools can supply, and the government is urging extensions in that industry Important among the price adjust- ments announced on May 21 was a $6 per ton advance on cast iron water pipe, a reduction of 25c per 100 Ibs. for structural and ship rivets and lic for bailer rivets (a differentiation now being made) and a reduction of & per | Copper bear- | ing low phosphorous pig iron was ad- { cent. on smaller rivets. ton. volume of fabricated business was 115,000 tons mare than in bridge and building work over the last average rate no vanced $2 per The April structural steel tons, or 30,000 March, but the shops have taken months at an pacity of 180,000 tor these six months' boo lean period of half a vear, averaging 000 tons a month. In other words, only 57 per cent. of capacity has been engaged in the last 12 months By a recent ruling at Washington, tin plate mills will now restrict de- liveries to manufacurers making food containers for the government and its allies. Tobacco and paint cans, bottle stoppers and other products are thus cut from the list. The British government's inquir for 50,000 tons of barb wire is one of an increasing numbher of Allied re- quisitions, responsible for the latest upward revision of the War Board's tonnages.
