QUAR- Ter MILLION
SHELLS A MONTH
Contract Placed by Britain Pro
vides Work for Hundred
Concerns,

OTTAWA, Jan. 28.-1t is expected
that over a hundred Canadian firms
will eventually be working on an order
from the Imperial government for
100000 shrapnel shells per month, I'M
til the total number of 1900, 900 called
for has been filled. Already, it is
stated, fifty different manufacturers
in Canada are employed in this new
business, each taking some portion Of
the work to be done. Nearly all of
The Canadian steel companies have
put in the plant necessary for the
business of shell making, but the order
embraces many concerns other than
the steel companies. All the materials
used are products of Canadian firms
The lead bullets, steel portion, cart
ridge cases, brass fittings, and even
he explosives. Just how much ma
terial this one order will take can be
judged from the fact that 1000 tons
of lead bullets alone will be used to
complete it. British Columbia lead
will be used for a portion of it.
Representatives of manufacturing
firms from various parts Of the Do
minion have been at the capital seek
ing information concerning the order,
and expressing their willingness to
place the facilities in their plants
necessary for the work. By so doing
very considerable employment can be
given. 1t is stated that there is work
enough for every firm in Canada which
is in position to manufacture one or
more of the parts required. There is
an indication that Russian orders will
be placed in the Dominion for this sort
Of war material, and if so an import
mt new industry will be established in
Canada to tide manufacturers over
the war.
Winnipeg steel firms are understood
to be among those who have received
orders. The Western Drydock and
Shipbuilding company, Port Arthur,
recently received an order for shells
and munitions Of war for the British
government to the amount of 100000.
Will Reopen Big Plant.
The Steel company Of Canada, Ham,
ilton, has recently secured a million
dollar contract for a special kind of
steel for French and British manufac-
turers. This, it is said, will mean the
re-opening of the company's big plant,
which will employ full staff day and
night for several months at least.
The C. P. R. has found further en-
ployment for its men at the Agnus
shops, having recently received an or
der for 100000 brass cartridge cases
At a cost of 100000: Other orders are
The Canadian Car and
Foundry company, Montreal has re-
ceived similar order, and will employ
local labor to complete it. The Mont
real Locomotive Plant, which has
slackened down Of late, will start
operations again by the manufacture

System of Espionage.

MONTREAL, Jan. 25.-The Star.
today features the following article
regarding the abandonment Of Chas.
M. Schwab's arrangements to build
at the Bethlehem Steel works submar-
ines for the British government:
"How well spread and we'll organ
lied is Germany's system of espion-
age is brought rather close home to
Montreal by the accounts given Of the
way it affected Chas. M. Schwab's
plans for building submarines, des-
sroyers and cruisers at his Fore River
plant for the British government. The
story is told by one Of Mr.. Schwab's
associates who was closely concerned
With his recent negotiations in Canada.
GAS is we'll known he said, Mr..
Schwab went to London in December
% secure large contract with the adj
niralty for ships which he knew he
could build at his Fore River plant,
which he believed the United States
would allow him to do. The negotia-
tons in London were necessarily con-
Quoted with the utmost secrecy and
despatch. So far as we know, not half
/ dozen people, including four Of the
highest admiralty officials, knew any
hing about them. The details Of de-
livery, price and character of the ships
were speedily settled, and Mr.. Schwab
left as hurriedly for New York as he
had fortnight before left New York
for London.
"'On his way across he made an ap-
pointment by wireless telegraph with
the secretary Of state, Mr.. Bryan, and
on arriving in New York took the
first train to Washington to keep it.
Knew All About Them.
"'No sooner had he started to un-
fold his plan in general way to Mr..
Bryan than the secretary Of state
took the conversation into his own
hands, and related accurately the de-
tails of the plan arranged between
Mr.. Schwab and the admiralty, told
him that the cabinet had discussed the
whole proposition some days previous
and had decided that they could not
permit it to be carried through. Mr..
Bryan, in fact, not only outlined the
general scheme, but was able to fill
in details which Mr.. Schwab had
supposed were to be secret between
himself and the admiralty.
"'Since the cabinet, being in posses
sion of all the essential facts, had come
to decision it is not for me to "rt"r
any protest. Mr.. Schwab said, after
the secretary had quoted at length
from the specifications Of the proposed
but if it is not indiscreet,
should like very much to ask, Mr.. Bry-
an. where you got your information
81 see no necessity of making any
mystery about it, Mr.. Bryan retorted.
1t was given to me by Count Won
Bernsdorf within 48 hours of your
conference with the admiralty"
