Now a Vast Arsenal.
The British now claim that Shef-
field has become a vast arsenal, and
the greatest in the world. The steel
works there far exceed those of
Krupp at Essen and their output is
far greater. Already $125,000,000
have been spent in the extension of
the ste it works and another $125,-
000,000 are in process of expendi-
ture. No less than 12,000 men are
engaged in the manufacture of shells,
while 9,000 aro making cannons.
Since the Oth of September there
have been 700,000 workmen and 50,-
000 women employed in '715 different

asked to try his weight at the object, i Asia-.,: sm,r,
and put over some shells with excell-

cleared the turtle back was seen to
be smashed, showing twisted iron

which looked like uncoiled springs,
evidently the reinforcement of the

Possibly the nervousness of the
Germans also accounts for their in-
dustry in mining towards whatever
salient gives us some vantage. These
mines are peculiarly horrible, for one
never knows now, where interested in

not there is a volcano underfoot, rite
unconcern of our men, who eannab al-
ways be sure that such an unpleasant
development of trench warfare has
reached them, is astonishing.
Recetly a colonel informed me with
a grim smile that when, many hours
after the German mine had exploded,
his working party got at a few of his

lows were grinning when hauled out,
and then began to sing amusing non-
