They did not remember that et the

beginning of the war Great Britain
was armed on a basis of a mere hand-
ful of men : that .11 the machinery of
equipment was upon a basis of the
handful, and that having men—a mil-

equip them, because she had not fac-
tories of munitions except upon the
scale of the handful.

formed, equipped ; artillery had to be

supplied. And the one reason vby
there was such delay in making a

British was lack of equipment. The
