Parsons In the battle of Verdun, lasting there thari half a year, the French fired 60,000,000 shells containing 1, 800,000 tons of steel. To tproduee. these shells and transport theih to the battle front 'required the corisinnption of nearly 9,000,000 tons a coal—more fuel than was. produced last year in Utah, Oklahoma and Michigan- corm, bilged. This is an indication of what War means to -day when measured in ternis of industrial, effort. , Preiriously to the war the total business of the United States amountt ed to $31,000,000,000 • annually.

We . are now spending .fer war purposes more than that sum every five days. We spent four-fifths as much building 16 - army cantonments, and one-quarter as much putting up - two smokeless - powder plants. More soldiers were transported aeroes the. Atlantic to France in the single* month of Mai than the total number of American soldiers who fought and won for us a- gainst Spain in 1898. • ' ' The only' sol e is to substitute . war work 'C'n. Part of the peace work. The man making spoons must now make trends knives and surgical in- strinments too; Carpet manufacturer must add canvass and blankets; chem- ical °companies must produce more pharmaceutical 'products; mirror mak- ers must turn. out optical glass, and automobile manufacturers more motor - trucks and airplane engines. Everyone knows that -war as car- ried on to -day - the giant nations of the earth it a costly and fearful bus- iness; but few neeple have stopped to examine andssee just what oursactual war effort means, measured in fetal, steel and ton of freight. Without such understanding there cannot be wholehearted co-operation and -un- stinted sacrifice by the hundreds of thousands of Ameriens who midst rad- ically change their mode of living and practically commence life over again. An array- division is composed of 27,500 men; six divisons make a corps, and five COrPS form an army. Theo- retically, therefoee, en 'army. eanelato - of 825090 men. 'ItuVAntsiietual service. this is not true, for to -dao in Preece conditions require that a divisioriin an army organization shall have 45,500 men. This includes soldiers for the. lines of communication and for service at the rear. It is evident, therefore, that a- fighting army ehas • about 1,350,060 men in its personnel. We now have nearly a million men "over there," and in a few weeks .A,merica will be represented iii France by a complete army. ' Now to inaintain one man in France we must have two tons of ship- ping—that is, the standard 8000 -ton cargo* boat that the Urtited States Fleet Corporation is building will .supply 4000 men, making five round trips each year. Our first army in France will need 337 such ships, .hav- ing a total tonnage of 2,696,000 tons. We are hoping to bullel 3,0,00,000 tons of shipping in " 1918. It is evident there will work for all. of it. Our soldiers are carried in troop transports, which vessels are larger and faster than the cargo- boats. A 12,000 -ton troopship will cam* about 3000 men and make nine round trips each year. To carry an average of 125,000 men per month to France re- quires 5.6 such steamers; and this does not allow for losses of ships or sert ious repairs. It can b seen, there- fore, that nearly 400 geese's are re- quired right now to tiansport troops and supply one complete American army in France. Authentic figurese show that a soldier consumes its supplies and food the equivalent of his own weight every three days, In the Matter a clothes his consurnntion is four times that of the outdoor civilian in ordinary em- ployment at home. His uniforms be - pound pack on his back must consume often placed irs 6oifteiners for clean- ing that they: soon disintegrate. When it 'comes to shoes our warriors have the best in the world. They cost the Government five dollars per pair in million lots, and a soldier- at the front wears out one pair a month. In the matter of food it bee been de- termined that the soldier eats twenty- five per cent more than the ordinafy laborer at home. . This is the result of strenstous ex- ercise and an enormous amount of work. The inan who carries a '70 - pound pack on his back mustconsurne lots of fuel to di, it. 1 have referred briefly to the en- ormous amount of steel consumed at the Battle of Verdun, but this was far less per man ifind per unit of time than is being used at present on the Flanders Front. At times of intense bombardment it is not now unusual for one side or the other to land ten big shellper second on a single crest or point of attack. In only one hour such a degree of artillery activity would use up about 1,800 tons of steel or 7,200 tons of coal. Think whet such a bombardment amounts to when extended over several miles of front. Illustrating the great difference be- tweenwar to -day and the conflicts. of years ago it is interesting to note that Germany used only 650,000 shells in the entire Franco - Prussian War, whereas that many shells were con- sumed in 78 minutes by the Germans incommencing their ..big offensive on the Western Front, /larch twenty - 'first.

At. the present time the production ,of steel rails sis at such a low rate that 'the mills have nearly two years work ahead of them. As- in dozens of other eases it will soon be a quest- ion of which 'shall we make—shas or -jails? Plants cannot be enlarged ina clay. It requires one year to build a blest furnace; and with known reonirments for More than 45,000,000 tons of 'pig 'iron the production in April was running at the rate of only -41;403000 tons annually.

Thereader who has followed this rather elementary discussion of our primary problems - bas undoubtedly come to the tonclusion that we have a task that will require our maximum effort and neeessitate all Aniericans, from the youngest totheoldest, to ac- eePt the principle that this nation, for the present, is engaged. in a single line of business—making war. 'Elevelti per cent of 'our total steel production this year will go into shells alone; and this output would not be an excessive supply, even though aii of this .ammunition could be given to our own Army. Should we take over 100miles of battle front and use all the- shells that will be produced under this year's programme we could fire only. 6850 shells a day, assuming an average weight of 40 pounds for each projectile. Such 'artillery activity would -land more than one shell on every foot of enemy's Vert line fac- ing us every 24 hours, and this would seem to be quite lively shooting; but it is now considered rather quiet on any sector when only 5,000 to 6,000 shells are sent aeroes on each side of front in 24 hours. Of .eourse, it is not likely we shall take over 100 miles or one-third of the Western „front this the nation is more than 90 mer cent. on war work; and there is little doubt that it will soon be giving practicallly its last pound of production to satifify war needs-. It (sn't require an im- aginative mind, therefore, to see that in the construction of new hotels, office buildings, apartrn nt houses, and so on, something will have to be sub- stituted for steel and' other products so essential to the carrying out of ,our war plans. When we build one 8000 -ton steel ship we consume 3200 tons of steel, and before thie teel was made we had to haul -6400 tons of iron ore from the mineseto the furnaces. The pre- sent progranuele !calls for 8,205,708 tons of steel ships, . More than 33 'per cent. of this progremme has been -com- pleted, To -produce and transport the steel for these vesSeIs will require 14,- 000,000 tons of coal.
