Two million Of them say 1t Under

They have pointed out TO Lloyd
George that England has at least
100000 women who can devote
their entire time to shell making.
Every woman, they insist, can make
at least one shell day That
means 100000 shells a day, a mum
ber far beyond I.loyd-George's most
extrayagant estimate OF EnglaDd's S

undertake the Job for all the Allies.
Recently a military expert estab-
llshed that the French consumption
Of shells in July was 100000 a day.
II Is certain that IL is not now over
.000,00 a day. This would leave
daily surplus OF another million
per day TO pass around TO the other
Allies. The women say that after
LloydGeorge their next greatest OBJ
stacle has been the engineer en-
ployers at the munition factories
who have used them for fuse max

quality superior to that for which
II was designed.
The women are admitted TO have

Issues War Risk Policy.

Washington, Jan. 22-The state de-
partment has requested Of the British
embassy information Of why the
American steamer Greenbrier, from
New Orleans and Norfolk to Bremen,
with cotton under certificate OF the
British consul at New York, was
stopped by a British cruiser, sent UNI
der British flag to a British port and
detained two days before being al
lowed to complete her voyage to
Bremen.
The detention Of the Greenbrier was
brought to the attention OF the state
department by kilograms from Cap
tain Farley, her commander, now at
Bremen. Farley stated that the
Greenbrier was overhauled on Deem
Der 30 by British cruiser. The board
ing officer required him to continue
on his course conveyed by the cruiser
for day or two while the cargo was
being searched for arms.
Then the cruiser placed aboard the
Greenbrier some additional British Of
ficers, hoisted the British flag, and a
prize crew who navigated the ship 80
that, according to Captain Farlt Y, II
was damaged before II was brought
into KIrkwall. There the Greenbrier
remained for three days, Captain Far
ley refusing to sail IT further except
under the American flag. The British
authorities finally consented to the
raising OF the American flag and Cap
tain Farley took his ship TO Leith.
The points upon which the state de-
partment wants information are, first.
why It was necessary TO search the
Greenbrier I'm view of the certificate
issued by the British consul at New
York, and second, why neutral mer-
chant vessel was compelled to lower
its flag when under no known rule
could II be regarded as a prize.
