"SEND MUNITIONS."
For God's Sake Be Sure You Send Us
Enough."
The point of view of the soldier in
the trenches if very plainly stated in
the following appeal to munition
workers and all others engaged more
directly in the production of material
for the Army, submitted by a wound-
ed Tommy at Southampton. He was
formerly a reporter, and on the way
over in the steamer he wrote this
moving message
"All I want to say to the people at
home ,is this:—You can never eat
your dinner, or smoke a pipe, or read
a newspaper, or go to 'the pictures,'
but what, while you are getting:
through with it,. some scores of your
own country men are knocked out by
Boche bullets and shells. There's
not the slightest need for you to be
depressed about this. Go ahead with
'the dinner, and the pipe, and the 'pic-
tures,' and the rest of it as much as
ever you like. We're nob giving
away a drop of your countrymen's
blood; not this year. It's all being
sold on a good business basis and
fetching an excellent price, thank
yen; a better price it may be than ib
ever fetched before in all the history
of the Empire. So don't grieve after
us. Our High Commands know what
they're doing, ,and Master Boche's
dootrr is set; and he knows it, and 'We
know it. We're doing our bit all
right. Are you?
"I'm pretty sure you are by the
way our heavies have been talking in
the last fortnight. Keep it up.
We've got a hundied miles front out
there, and as far as I can make out
we're pressing Master Boche pretty
hard over every yard of it. Ib's the
only way to end the war; and as for
the time it will take, I reckon that's

ALL BRITAIN IS
W WORKING
4,000 PLANTS ARE BUSY MAKING
MUNITIONS.
War Supplies Produced Monthly as
Great as Was Turned Out First
Year of War.
When the British forces in France
began their great offensive borabard
ment on June 27 and for days hurled
into the German lines such an aval-
anche of steel and lead as the world
had never known before, even the
people of England expressed wonder
that it should have been possible to
assemble so vast a store at munitions.
The story of how these supplies were
created constitutes one of the most
important chapters in the history of
British achievement during the war.
At the outbreak of hostilities two
years ago there were only three im-
portant Government munitions factor-
ies in the British Isles. To -day some
four thousand, Government -controlled
firms, employing more than 2,000,000
workers, are turning out virtually all
of the tremendous amount of war ma-
terials which have gone to equip the
five million British soldiers in the
field.
The organization of this great in-
dustry has been accomplished in a
little more than one year by the Min-
istry of Munitions, which was estab-
lished in May, 1915, under the leader-
ship of David Lloyd George. In that
time every available resource of the
country has been built for the produc-
tion of munitions.
Not Dependent on U.S.
A staff of 5,000 people has been re-
quired to supervise the work. At the
head of this staff and responsible
only to the Minister of Munitions has
been a man whose organizing ability
has been accorded wide -spread recogni-
tion. e is Dr. Christopher Addison,
internationally known for his medical
research work. Dr. Addison, during
an interview with a representative of
The Associated Press, told as much
of the story of the creation of this
industry as could be made public at
this time.
At the outset he disposed of the
statement which has been made in
America to the effect that if it were
not for the munitions furnished by
the United States Great Britain
would have to quit the war.
"I have heard that statement
made," said Dr. Addison, "and it is
preposterous, of course. The United
States has furnished and is furnish-
ing many raw materials which we
are anxious to get for the manufac-
ture of munitions, but so far as the
actual production. of shells goes,
America has provided us with only
a very small percentage of those
which we have used."
Turning to the manufacturing of
munitions, in this country, he contin-
ued
has extended well nigh to every, con-
siderable town—indeed to large num-
bers of villages.
Could Have Weekly Battle.
"We can now produce in less than
a month as many of the lighter shells
as could have been turned out in the
whole year of 1914-15. In less than
a fortnight we can make more heavy
shells than we could have done in
the 1914-15. We can now turn
out in a week far more shells, filled
and complete, than were used in the,
whole battle of Loos, which extend-
ed over a fortnight, and they had been
saving ammunition for that battle for
a month. We could have a battle of
Loos every week now, and it wouldn't
- touch the shell reserve stock.
"Regarding our present capacity
for gun production as compared
with the capacity of June, 1914, be-
fore the war, we aro now making in
the case of the lightest guns, over
ten times what we were then, in the
ease of medium weight guns over 20
times, and in the case of heavy guns I.
more than 50 times.
"The production of trench warfare!
supplies has meant the creation of
an industry, of which 'there was
practically no experience in this
country. Now grenades are being
made in backyards aiid in all sorts
of sinal shops, as well as in the big
factories, and. hundreds of thousands
are being produced weekly.

Gather Droopings Daily.
Filthy houses cannot be in a good
healthful conciitiort, On all gleam..
ful farms it is the rule to daily gather
up the droopinge of the previous
night, and by attending to this duty
each day it requires but a few min-
utes' time. Beeicles, there will not
be that stench found when the manure
is allowed to collect for a week or
more at a time. By keeping sifted
coal ashes, sand or road dust scatter-
ed over the platform, the cleaning wil
not only be easier, but there will be
a better odor to the hotise.
The outside runs or yards must: also
not be forgotten. Several titres a
year they should be either plowed ca
spadded, so that the gOli Win not be.
cone contaminated, All low places,
should be filled up so that no pools of
stagnant water will be within reach
of the hens. Much sickness is caused
by a neglect of this matter. Ib is
advisable to have a double yard to
each house, so that while the fowls
are in the one the vacant lot can be
sown to some vegetable crop or seeth-
ed to rye or oats. This green crop
has a double benefit in both disinfect-
ing the soil and in furnishing a green
crop for the hens.
Poultry Notes.
Overfeeding often gets away with
quite a number of chicks, but not as
many as die from over -crowded con-
ditions.
Shade for the chickens during hot
weather is as essential as good food.
They won't thrive if they have to be
in the hot sun all day.
Avoid crowding by keeping in small
• flocks, and by providing roomy coops.
Thin out if there are too many chicks.
1 Broody hens should be removed to
• slat -bottomed coops as soon as dis-
covered. Leave them there till they
forget it.
Clean fresh water lessens disease.
Filthy drinking water is the source of
much trouble. Clean the drinking
pans frequently.
If hens are lousy, rub a piece of
blue ointment, the size of a pea, into
the skin just beneath the vent, and on
the under side of the wings.
Mites are sure to accumulate if the
droppings are not removed from the
poultry house every week, and the
sprayedroosts erosene emu mon
or a disinfeetent.
After the grass, gets tough, chicks
can catch more bugs and worms and
will grow better on loose soil.
There can be no error in mixing cut
vegetables and other soft food for the
fowls, for their nature craves it. There
are eggs in potatoes, and the squash
adds si nice flavor to poultry meat.
One of the best articles of diet for
them is young clover oat fine, and
they are very fond of it.
Give, animal food to the hens in
time, before they quit laying, and it
will hurry them through the molting
season. They will not then stand
around looking haggard and miser-
able for weeks, but will go to singing,
and soon be ready for business again.
You will be sure of plenty of eggs in
the fall.
Every Town Helps.
" At the beginning of the war there
were only three important munitions
factories in the United Kingdom. In
addition, there were a number of
large private munitions and armament
firms. At the start reliance was
placed mainly in. these national fac-
tories and experienced firms, and at
that time they were full of orders.
"In the early stages of the conflict
more attention was paid to field guns
and their equipment than to heavy
guns, but as time went en the require.
ments for heavy shells greatly in-
ereaSed. In June, 1915, we made an
inventory Of all the available nuechira
ery in the country and it Was evident
that it was entirely inadequate to
meet the demands. There wee, how-
ever, a great mane' private firms
whieli could be brought in to make
munitions and it was deoided to
mobilize therti for nadonal eervice,
In order to do this we created an
orgardeatioo embracing the entire

"One of the most anxious problems
has been the supply and the distribu-
tion of skilled labor. There was not,
enough skilled labor to go round..
This fact was recognized by tate
trades .unions, and the Government,
has received their hearty assistance
throughout in the distribution of
Skilled labor, and in the dilution of
sldlled labor with unskilled. The in-
troduction of unskilled labor into the
field of skilled labor is a sacrifice of
skilled labor, to which no too high,
tirbute can be paid. Skilled, men have '
trained and instructed unskilled'
workers, and in thousands of cases
have willingly been moved from piece
work to day wages, with the result that
they earned smaller wages than the
people they had trained have received
at piece work.
"This position was rendered more
difficult by the fact that many skilled
workmea crowded into the army.
More than 43,000 highly skilled work-
men have since been withdrawn for
munitions work."
LEFT US A NEW WORD,
Words Descriptive of Patriotic Fervor
Vary.
There lived once in France a sol-
er, Nicholas Chauvin, who was so
demonstrative in his patriotic fervor
that he made a fool of himself, and
ever since his day a man who dis-
plays a cocky and hysterical patriot
tism is called a Chauvinist. In Eng-
land such a man is called a Jingo. A
Jingo is always bragging about his
country's preparedness to fight,. In
Germany Uzi% form 01 patriotism is
known as Pangermanism, in Russia
it is called Panslavism, and in the
United States it is labelled "spread-
eagleisrn, The only patriotism
which some men seem capable of ex-
hibiting is a contempt for other na-
tions and a glorification of their own.
Let us agree that all such patriotism
is dangerous, as well as silly, and let
us face the problem of cultivating a.
patriotism which is rational and Chris-
tian.

FEAR BRITISH WILL LAND.
Marine Corps Reenforced on the
Flemish Coast.
Now that the Entente Allies have
taken the offensive on all fronts the
Germans are more than ever reckon-
ing with the passibility of an attempt
to land British troops on the Flemish
coast, according to a frontier corre-
spondent of the Amsterdam Tele-
graaf. The marine corps has been re-
inforced, while a whole army of mili-
tary workmen has been seen at the
port of Zeebrugge.
Recently an alarm was sounded at
10.30 at night and the garrison there
hurried to their posts. It turned out
that no attack threatened, but the
whole affair was a rehearsal of the
operations for repelling a landing.
The coastal guns suddenly belched
forth, while the rattle of the mitrail-
leuses could be heard at Flushing. The
entire manceuvre lasted about half an
hour.

Verse 16. The decision to take a
ship that would not touch at Ephesus
illustrates the immense importance
Paul attached to his offering the gifts
of the Gentile Christians at the time
when there would be a large con-
course of Jewish Chrisians in the Holy
City. Still keeping up the practice
of coming to worship at one of the
the great feasts, if no more, they
naturally chose Pentecost, the church's
bilthdaYM
17. iletus—Some thirty miles
south of Ephesus, and in early his-
tory much more important, The eid-
ers or presbyters (margin), who in
I verse 28 are called bishops. In the
first century the names were intet-
changeable, denoting the same work
from different point of view; indeed,
they are hardly technical titles at
all yet. Those who "watched on be -
hall of souls" were called variously
superintendents (bishops), seniors
(presbyters), servants (deacons), or
leaders. A stereotyped constitution,
with a monarchieal "bishop." set
above his "fellow elders" (compare 1
Peter 5. 1), is a development of the
second century. Providence ordained
that the nuthoritive books should have
no Axed form of chinch government,
so that ages /night be free to deter-.
mine his purely administrative matter
in their own way.
19. Lowliness—Till Christ made this
a virtue, the word suggested only
"meanness, grovelling." Tears—Of
joy and sorrow and anxiety, the na-
tural self-expression of an Easterner's
emotions. We are by temperament
less demonstrative.
21. Testifying—This recurrent word
describes an appeal based upon the
deepest personal conviction. It must
be carefully disein,gruished from the
similar weed bead witness of what one
had seen or hear. Repentance -ea
"Change of mind," which brings to
God one formerly at war with him.
22. Bound in the spirit—Compare
Matt. 5. 3, etc. The "poor in spirit"
may have outward wealth, but lives as
if he had none. The "bound in spirit"
wears no chains, but acts as if a pri-
soner already. The spirit is that
part of mast in which the Holy Spirit
has his throne.
24. Course, or race, Paul's favorite
figure (compare especitilly 2 Tim. 4:7),
One of many links between the Epis-
tles and this report of paul's great
Apologia, which they authenticate.
25. Luke obviously knows of no
happy reversal of this strong present-
iment, and nnless Acts was really
written immediately after the "two
years (compare Acts 28. 30) and prior
to a release and new travels (com-
pare 2 Tim. 4. 20), we may be sure
thei.26'e Npvraosblalbo/llye.
Paul was thinking
most of the solemn passage in Ezekiel
(33. 1-9) where the "watchman's" re-
sponsibility is enforced.
27. The whole—Warnings as well
as blessings, irksome duties as well
as privileges. "His will is our
pkeace," if we accept it all.
