“An English eortespondent | tell-

" ing of the nation’s war activities

SAYBr
There are today i in n Great Brit-

din over.4000 firms. engaged in

the production. of war material,

‘and not :dne of them before the

war had had even an -hour’s eke |:
perience in ‘that. lass: of work,
Nearly 100 colossal: planta . ‘have

_ been erected, and some'3,600,000

people, ‘of whom 700,000 are wo-
men, find employment. therein.
That isa miracle of improvisation
that-must, I sappose, be unique
in industrial history.

» We are now turning out in three
weeks ag much eighteen-pounder

; ammunition, ‘in. two weeks ag

thneh field-howitzer ammunition,
in eleven days: as many medium

many heavy shells as we were:
turning. -out in the whole of the.
first year-of the- war. The enor-

mons: -British:--armies~. overseas
‘have: been. equipped. with rifles).
and machine -guns-solely from.
domestic sources,
we are manufacturing twice as
many guns: ‘ab’ the entire army
possessed eighteen . months ago,.
the production-having multiplied
sixfold i in the last year,and being:
still rapidly on the increase, :

idea of the tremendous: -seale. ‘on

éhich things are done, ‘Since the

yards of woolen eloth,as’ much of

8. thousand million buttons, and

. another thousand maillion horge-

Every: month:

shoe nails, 60,000,000 pairs of

000,000 woolen gloves;, 50,000,000
brushes, : 25,000,000... knives - ‘and
forks, a thousand . million sand-|_.
bags, 7,000, 000 razors, over 2, 000
miles of wire rope, 2 thousand
million pounds of flour, 250, 000,000
pounds of erackers, and at least
200, 000, 000 ‘pounds of. ‘Tommy At-
kins’ delight—L mean, of course,

_ Besides'this we. have. increased
our navy: bythe tonnage equival-
ent of between. fifty. and .sixty
