Tor many years before the begin
ming Of the war the world had been
producing more goods than it con-
sumed in living, so that annually
there was large surplus over,
which represented capital that could
be invested in means Of further pro-
duction, in ornaments, in the OK
rioitation Of new wants and in the
development Of markets capable Of
absorbing the excess. and so the hu-
man race progressed rapidly in
wealth. Now suddenly the converse
Of this is true. Tho world in living
and fighting is consuming more than
il produces, wherefore its actual
wealth must be decreasing. The def
cit arises not from a decline in
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-09-04

actual production, perhaps. but from
an enormous increase i'm production,
especially Of some things. Popular
opinion runs the other way. one
commonly hears much to this effect:
"Following the war Europe will need
much in the way Of raw and manu-
featured materials. The destruction
Of property and cessation Of produc-
ton which have already taken place
and which will continue while hos
tilitics last viii create the neces-
sity." The affirmative Of this can
not be proved The negative IS very
arguable. There is reason TO be-
lieve that the actual productive
power of Europe. measured by the
output of goods. is greater than was
ever the case before. The consump-
ton of goods is very much greater
still. Great Britain's exports, for
example. are nearly as high as they
we're in the last year of peace. Her
adverse balance Of trade Is owing
almost wholly to the prodlgious IN
crease of imports.
On August Is the British Minister
Of Munitions, Mr.. Montagu, rem
dered an account Of his work to the
House of Commons. His most inter
cyting statements may be summa-
rized in this way:
Shells. The output which IN
1914-'15 it took twelve whole
months to produce can now be at
tanned from home sources IN the
following periods:
1s-pounder ammunition. 3 weeks
Field howitzcr ammunition 2weehi
Medium sized shell........1l days
Heavy shell............... 4 days
Artillery. We arc now turning
out in a month nearly twice as
many big guns as were in existence
for land service when the Ministry
started. The monthly output Of
heavy guns increased more than
skiold between June. 1915, and
= June. 1916. and the present rate OF
output Will eventually be nearly
doubled.
Machine guns The weekly out
put has increased since the Min
istry was founded fourtcenfold
and is still increasing. We shall
very shortly have satisfied all the
requirements Of the British army,
and will then be able to turn our
manufacture exclusively TO supply
our Allies.
High explosives. The production
is now siXty-siX times ss much as
it was at the beginning Of 1915.
The weekly consumption is between
II 900 and 1900 times the amount
required for land service ammuni-
ton manufactured in September,
| 1914.
Weapons for trench warfare
The output Of bombs increased 49,
fold between May, 1915, and
June. 1916

In England, the railway employee

The value of by-products recovered
from American coke manufacture IN
1915 was nearly s3O,Ooo,oO0. large IN

value Of these products rose from 'eSS

United States Geological Survey. BEN
zol has been recovered in this country
from coke oven gas for number OF
wears, but prior TO 1915 the market was
small and prices were low.
In 1914 there were fourteen oenzoi
nlants in the United States, but tney
were all controlled by one company
and therefore it is not feasible 10 pup
Itch the statistics Of their production
for that or previous years. Last year
sixteen additional coke plants were
equipped with bcnzol apparatus, ana
the output was very greatly increased
The benzol products obtained IN 1919
amounted TO l6,60O,657 gallons. More
than $4,000. 900 gallons Of the total out
nut was reported as crude light oil and
had an average value Of SO cents. Some
Of the plants have their owA stills and
refineries. and the pure benzol reported
from those sources amounted TO 2,5l6,-
483 gallons. with an average value OF
nearly 81 cents, at least three times
the value of crude benzol before the
war. and go, 500 gallons OF toluol, with
an average value of s2.45 a gallon.

She was probably matching the

Yes. OF course. 1t is homemaking.

for it, compiled by the United States

worth noting. or the 100000 fe-
males over ten years OF age in the

but in the last analysis they general

cial attention to scientific cooking in

hope of being able to hire a cook Is
apt to be disappointed as frequently
as the hope OF keeping one when she
is hired. 1t is one OF the oldest

SHOCK CAUSED HIS DEATH
Soldiers Lungs Burst by the Explo-
sion Of Shell That Fell Within
Yard Of Him.

The London Lancet tells OF several
cases Of soldiers who have been killed
by shells, although the men were not
touched.
M. Sencert," it says, reports to
the Societe de Chirurgie the case OF
a man who was killed without being
hit, though he was less than yard
away from the point Of explosion OF a
bursting shell Of large caliber. He
had not even been grazed by any me-
tallic fragment and had no external
wound, but at the necropsy both his
lungs were found to be burst.
MANY deaths under similar circum-
stances have been noted since the
outbreak Of the war, for which vari.
GUS more or less complicated explain
ations have been given. Illuminating
toxic gases from the explosion and
sudden nervous shock have been sug.
gested as causes. M. Sencert points
out that these hypotheses are unneces.

cause is sufficient explanation"
