ACTIVITIES AT HOME
S|CKEN|NG TO TROOPS
British Munition Workers Make Re
port on Conditions at
Front.

LONDON, October 10.-A party OF
munition workers who visited the
British armies in Flanders, accompa-
MED by the parliamentary undersecre-
tary for home affairs. William Brace
say in their report:
There is bitter and widespread re-
sentiment among the officers and men
at the front at the constant appear
ance in certain newspapers of articles
disparaging the efforts this country is
making. The men, who have endured
and will endure, the worst hardships
and are campaigning with positive
cheerfulness. are sickened at the per-
sistent depreciation of what they are
doing out there and what the civil
population is doing at home to carry
on the war"
Concerning munitions the conclusions
are thus summed up:
The supply of shells must not be
merely liberal, but unlimited.
LAS regards the German position in
this respect. we were repeatedly told
and could also see for ourselves that
their expenditure of shells was out OF
all proportion to ours. Their supplies
must be enormous"
The necessity for doing the best pos
sible in all departments of munitions
works is emphasized.
