guns 10000 barrels must be supplied.
Now we must remember in consid-
ering The conditions which existed at
the outbreak of the wal that while
we look upon the performance which
Germany has put up in an industrial
line with a feeling OF awe and of
mystery. this whole subject of indus
trial preparedness is after all merely
one or hig business. A friend of mine
happened TO he in Stuttgart on the
afternoon that war was declared. He
war visiting one of the great indus
trial plants which supply much ma
terial, or did. to the motor car in
dustry.
a telegram announcing the decla-
ration Of war was received at his plant
at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
Within one hour after the receipt Of
that telegram one-third of the men
had left che plant and were on their
way 10 the front. About another hire
of them had been sent across the
grounds Of the plant to a storehouse
from which were taken the iics.

product for which that concern was

out n stoppage Of a wheel the facili-
ties Of the plant were turned from the
production of materials Of peace to
the production OF materials for the
fighting line.
We possibly may never arrive at
such a state Of preparedness, because
that state Of preparedness reflected
forty ar fifty years of consistent and
properly directed preparation looking
toward one end. But II We are to
