TAI PAoE
War Proves Mechanic Is the
Real Power Behind the Gun

David Lloyd-George. Britain's new
Minister of Munitions, is recruiting
another army. not on paper, but
actually; enlisting them for regular SER
vice for the duration of the war, but
they are TO work instead of fight.
This army will be commanded by
officers of different rank, Just as are the
troops at the front, and will be subject
to orders to go wherever they are
wanted.
1t will be divided into different COM
mands, the skilled workers of different
trades being segregated.
The purpose is to enter upon system
attic plan of producing munitions and
war supplies in immense quantities and
rapidly.
If England and her allies win the war
ii will be largely due TO this new army.
The woeful lack of ammunition and
guns by the allied forces is becoming
more apparent each day.
Russia's decisive defeat in Galicia is
probably due to that more than to any
thing else.
Men they have in plenty, and of the
necessities of life, sufficient for many
months.
But an army can't fight without guns
and ammunition. and the amount con-
sumed daily is enormous.
1t is possible, indeed probable, that the
outcome of the war hinges on the sue
cess of Lloyd-George's new scheme.
Beyond question, Germany was Won
derfully supplied with war material when
the struggle began, but great inroads
must surely have been made in her
reserve.
If the skilled artisans of England, than
whom there are no finer, can be rallied
and arms and munitions supplied in
ample quantities to the troops on the
fighting line, and to Russia's horde of
the outlook will be changed.
The persistent campaign of the Allies
on Gallipoh peninsula indicates that they
expect to force the Dardanelles sooner
or later. and if that is accomplished
Russian wheat will be exchanged for
English cannon and shrapnel, new lease
of life will be taken by the respondent
forces of the Gar, and they will again
try to over-run Galicia and threaten
Austria.
A Cossack is never whipped until he
is buried
And all this depends on this new army
of workers Lloyd-George is nov recruit
ing.
The mechanic is the real IMAM behind
the gun" as usual.
