Another despatch from Amsterdam on Saturday said: "11 is learned from Dutch work- men that an explosion occurred in the electric power station at the Krupp pleat in Essen, owing to • short circuit.

The plant at Essen, the main es- tablishment of the Krupp., the larg- est tuanuftcturer. in Germany of arms and munitions, employed about 50,00 meq before the war. It has bees expanded greatly during the war. Facts relating to its present size and the number of workmen are kept secret by the German Govern- ment. It was reported unomcially In October of last year that about 70,000 persons, Including several thousand women, were at work "On December 17th the people gave to the Government an unmis- takable mandate for the vigorous prosecution of the war. and .for the employment of all the country's energies and resources necessary to achieve victory. It is essential and Indeed vital for the emeient conduct of the war that wasteful or unneces- sary expenditure should be prohibit- , ed and that all articles capable of being utilized as tool should be conserved. It is beyond question that the use of liquor affects advere.e- ly the reklizatioo of this purpose. "The subject baa been under con-' sideration by the war committee of the Cabinet. and the hallowing con- clusions have been reached: "1.

But there is a new com- bination of letters which means a1 - most as much. These two tetters, "Y, A.." signify volunteer aid, and are the abbreviation applied to a host Of brave wotnen who base dedi- cated themselvea`to work on the bat- tlefields of Europe. It is not given t0 all women, how- ever, to face the stern front of war. There are other tasks than - Ing wounded under fire, and some of the meanest sort, which nevertheless must be done.
