on the attacking Britishers.
I'VE could not maintain ourselves In
the trenches won. our reserves were
not thrown In because the conditions OF
success In an assault were not present.
The attacks were we'll planned ard val
iantly conducted but the conditions were
too hard. The want OF an unlimited
supply OF high explosives was fatal
bar to our success.
The correspondent shows. nevertheless
that the British. by holding German
force equivalent to their own, greatly
facilitated the French offensive. As re-
CARDS the latter, Ne says
by dlnt OF the expenditure OF 2's
rounds OF high explosive per gun in one
day all the German defences except the
villages were levelled to the ground and
though we must expect that German
reenforcements will be sent there is
good ground for hope that the Freiburg
army corps and other German troops
will be destroyed and that the gallant
French will gain "A great success.
THE British easily defeated all at
tacks against Ypres and are easily able
10 deal with the Germans In the open.
The men are in high spirits. resolute
and confident. But until the British are
thoroughly equipped for trench warfare
they will be undo rave disadvantage

MANY CONCERNS MAKE
SHELLS FOR RUSSIANS
Canadian Company Splits Up
S83, 100000 Ordcr-Part
Payment Made.

Senator Nathaniel Curry. president OF
the Canadian Car and Foundry Com
pany. Ltd, which has an ss3.ooo.00C
war order from the Russian Government
for the manufacture OF 10000 shells
half shrapnel and the remainder eN-
plosive. issued formal statement yes
terday regarding the sublettIng % the
contract to concerns In Canada and the
United States.
The order Is the largest that has been
placed by Russia or any other OF
the belligeren,s in this country and
is said to have been one OF the most
profitable. II is understood to have been
placed direct and an initial deposit OF
sec, 100000 has been made with j T.
Morgan & Co. and other banking insti-
tutions In the country by the Russian
Government as guarantee OF full pay
ment.
Senator Curry had planned to make
public the names OF the various COM
panies to which the contracts had been
sublet but protests were made by rep
Tesentatives OF some OF the concerns
who feared that some pro-German en-
ployees might refuse to make shrapnel
for the Allies or that attempts would he
made on their plants. 1t is safe to say
however. that almost every concern In
the eastern part OF the United States
and Canada which Is capable OF turn
ing out shells and which has not already
obtained war order OF its own has
secured part Of this allotment.
Senator Curry's Statement, was as fol-
lows:
There are about ffty companies in
the United States and about ten com
panies in Canada engaged In the manu-
facture OF the shrapnel and explosive
SHELLS. These orders have been split
up among companies In the Eastern and
middle Western States and throughout
eastern Canada. Deliveries on these
contracts will start next month and
will be completed by the end OF January.

dian ports"
All OF the shells called for by the
Russian Government are 3 inch pro-
jectlles As all must he delivered In
an eight months period the contract calls
for the delivery OF $4,000 shells a
month. or at the rate OF about 2O.S30

agreed TO superintend shipping and take
charge OF the arrival OF the shells In
