Birmingham, Nov. 30.-By the courtesy of the Minister of Munitions, Rt. Hon. David Lloyd George, a rep resentative of The Associated Press has to-day visited some of the largest munition establishments in this area, one of the eleven into which the coun- try is divided.
 Here for example, is factory where cartridges were made in peace times. It is not remarkable that in war times it is doubled in size, in operation day, night and Sundays, with 1000 employees. That seems the natural result of war
 But to see an enormous plant, cow ering 20 acres, that a year ago were bare f1elds,with one building having a floor space of four acres, with 5000 employees, turning out the most deli cate tfTnS fuses with regiments of men and wcmen at work as if they had been at it for years-tf1is is to grasp an idea of what England is doing and to realize why a Cabinet post was created for the, supervision of such undertakings. of which this gigantic establishment with it's acres of delicate machinery is but one of thousands.
 The cartridge factory is turning out seven million cartridges a week. i've should he doing much more. said the ma ma ger, tsif we could but get the ma chinery and the skilled labor that we know is coming
 The fuse. output in the gigantic plant of mushroom growth was not stated but the n1ailager told the same story. of the. coming machines and the coming of skilled labor. The machinery, partly. made in England, also has names of makers in New Britain. Conn, Provid ence, R. l.,

ed all right. Two of the destroyers inspired it to still greater efforts with their four-inch guns.
 When we realized, that there was mo one to hurt. it just became a bon fire or Trafalgar Day fireworks-it be- tie of Trafalgar We set all man ner of things on fire. Common shell was effective but lyddite was better. We burned a vast mountain of coal, many railway vans and trucks. ships, and two oil storehouses.
 "But the best blazes were ware. houses behind the caique harbor and an immense factory stuffed with high ly inf1ammabIe goods. It was six stories high, ten windows square, and had two annexes each of four stories. With a roaring wind to help us, and no fire brigade to spoil the fun, it was a, most gorgeous f1are-up. and the flames were bright enough to cast a shadow six miles away!
 sephe railway cars burned merri1y3 the fire jumping along from one to the other and even eating away to wind-l ward, and the ,storehouses burned solidIy and well, section after section catching They had great glass sky lights, which were shattered by, the sheIeIs and ventilated the fire nicely.
 tatThe great thing about it was that nobody tried to put the fires out, and one got SlnOhy, SAtes things up a bit and improved the ven- tiIatfon, so don't suppose I shall ever see finer blaze than Dedeagatch. The sparks from the big factory set fires to Ieeward. and these developed well. The coal heap fire unfortun- ately could not spread to anything: but it blazed and Aglowed in the wind
 ''Sometirnes 8 shell would not set fire to bui1ding-it would make hole in the front wall and burst in side, cliawing it up. Or, if a lyddite shell, it would blow the roof off and the brick wall out--Batisfactory, but not picturesque. The barracks were in several detached sections and only one of them burned. The Bulgar- ians had a flag flying over one of the barrack buildings, and we brought 1t down in six shots, together with the building it had adorned.
 wye stayed on until after dark. en- towing the blaze. The flames from the bfrs warehouse must have shot up 30 feet or more from the roof, and the fire looked solid from the baseme11t- upward--streamers fifty feet long rushing upwards from each of the sixty windows on the front and from inc two annexes and sides The oil store burned during the afternoon, a glow and some flames, but mostly black, greasy-loolxing smoke, which rose 1.500 feet and. cIung together for abo,1t two miles. Unfortunately it was in a tank in the ground, so could not spread much. But one railway car had oil or tar in it, and the stuff ran out all blazing, a fine sight.

London, Nov. s0.-The much criti- cized British view of war as 9 sort of exalted game or sport is emphasized in a British offcer's description of the btrnbardnents of Dedeagatch by the British fleet. contained in a, letter published here. His letter bristles with such phrases as Tt was grand picnic for the mem ''The ships com panies enjoyed themselves immense ly,sss sHTI1e harbor- masters Office burn ed splenGidly,'' s.The destroyers were able tn creep in and plug all manner of things.
 The officer began his letter by re- marking that he was playing pfquet with a captain when the orders came to lift anchor and attack Dedeagatch, exigencfes of the service made me sac rifice hand containing fourteen aces.'' There were some X grewsofne preparations for the battle in the cap tain's cabin, which had been turned into an operating theatre No need fense of the port was attempted by the Bulgarians.
 The description of the actual bonn bardment is in part as follows:
 At about quarter past one in the afternoon we 1oosed off at the big bar
 
 soldiers tearing out of the buildings, and we eased up a bit and let them get clear. Then we banged and bat tered way at about 2,800 yards, ma king enormous holes and smashing in great areas of walls. Unless some one was killed inside the buildings, 1 think we did not hurt anyone. Ger man accounts of the battle declare that several hundred soldiers were killed in these barracks.)
 'svWe were only out for destruetfo and damage. not slaughter, as the thrifty Bufgar hates to have his prop erty knocked about but cares very little if his height bor--or even himself --is laid out.
 s.After a bit we went for the harbor very tricky work, as the bulk of the caiques which we had orders to shoot at were just beyond low outer break water, and with a trajectory from the ship, the least alteration in the e1eva- ton of the gun made a big difference. The difficuity was largely settled when o1lrs shells set the InaSts and sails afIre and the flames spreading down ward to the ships.
 The desrroyers and monitors drew much less water than our larger ships and were able to creep in on the lead. the charts of Dedeagatch being fnaccura&e, and they plugged a1I man.
