German Colony in East Africa

German Colony IN East Africa
From German East Africa" by James
B. Macdonald in the American Re-
view Of Reviews.
German East Africa is in extent about
$4,000 square miles, and has now been
under German rule for rs years
During that period the Germans built
the railway from Dar-es-Salaam, on the
coast to Ujiji. on Lake Tanganyika.
which bisects the colony; and short
line near the British East African boun-
Diary from Tanga, on the coast, to
Mosh. The latter is opposite the British
town of Taveta. where there is a branch
railway connecting with the trunk line
through British East Africa. 1t is in
this neighborhood that the colonial ar
mics of Britain and Germany began to
contend with each other.
A little beyond Moshi is a Boer colony
of bitter enders," who emigrated here
after the British annexed the Transvaal
and Orange Free state. So far as we
know, this is the only bonafide white
| settlement in the colony, apart from the
government officials, traders, military,
and missionaries. This, however, is not
| to be wondered at because the country
is climatically unsuited to Europeans
ored parts near the British border. 1t is
otherwise in the higher altitude and
| more fertile soil of the highlands of
British East Africa
TIL colony Is unfortunate in having all
''the plaques of Egypt" and many more
| of its own. 1t is the home of rinderpest
which devastated the cattle of South
| Africa until a preventative was found
in arsenical dipping, which destroys the
ticks or parasites which cause the trou-

In brief, tropical East Africa is only
a shade less deadly than tropical West

tions-for a time.

DEMAND FOR HEAVY SHELLS

I'm the early stages of the conflict more
attention was paid to field guns and
their equipment than to heavy guns, Dut
as time went on the requirements for
heavy SHELLS greatly increased In June,
1915, we made inventory of all the
available machinery in the country, and
it was evident that it was entirely made
quate to meet the demands. There were,
however. a great many private firms
which could be brought in to make
munitions, and it was decided to mobilize
them for national service. In order to
do this we created an organization en-
bracing the entire country. The country
was divided into districts in each of
which a working board of management
was set up. By means of this scheme Of
local organization thousands of firms
have been brought in, many of which
had never seen a she'll body, or a fuse,
or grenade, or a bomb, before, much
less than made them. Now munition-
making in some form other has ex-
tended well nigh to every considerable
town-indeed to large numbers of villages
AN earnest desire to help, an adapta-
bilty and eagerness to learn have brought
into munition making the most remark
able assortment imaginable of shops and

long and from three to four miles wide.
A staff of 5000 people has been required
to supervise the work. At the head of
this staff, and responsible only to the
minister of munitions, has been a man
whose organizing ability has been ac-
corded widespread recognition. He is DIR.
Christopher Addison, internationally
known for his medical research work.
For some years he has devoted his atten-
ton to politics, and besides holding a
seat in the House of Commons had been
parliamentary secretary to the board of
education before entering on his present
duties as parliamentary secretary to the
ministry of munitions. Every detail of
the munitions production is known to DR..
DR.. Addison, and during an interview
with representative of the Associated
Press he told as much of the story of the
creation of this industry as could be made
public at this time.
At the outset he disposed of the state
ment which has been made in America
to the effect that if it were not for the
munitions furnished by the United States
Great Britain would have to quit the war.
Il have heard that statement made"
said DR.. Addison, land it is preposterous,
of course. The United States has furnish
ed and is furnishing many raw ma
terials which we are anxious to get for
the manufacture of munitions, but so far
as the actual production of shells goes,
America has provided us with only very
small percentage of those which we have
used"
Turning to the manufacture of NUM-
items in this country, he continued:
"At the beginning of the war there
were only three important munitions fac
tories in the United Kingdom. In addi-
ton there were a number of large pri-
vate munitions and armament firms. At
the start reliance was placed mainly in
these national factories and experienced
firms, and at that time they were full
of orCers
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1916-08-13

factories In one area alone shell bodies
or the components of shells are being not
only made by engineering works, but In
confectionery works, by music roll
manufacturer, by an infants food maker.
by a candlemaker, by a flour miller, by
a tobacco merchant, by an advertising
agent, in several breweries, by some Joo-
masters, by a glazier, by syphon manu-
facturers and so on Shells and good
shells have been turned out by machines
and methods which would be horrltylng
to the apostles of orthodoxy.
What all this amounts to IN the ag-
gregate you can form some conception OF
when 1 tell you that a calculation MADE
three weeks ago showed that there were
being turned out weekly by firms who a
year ago had not been engaged in NUM-
ton work IS times as many heavy shells
as were being produced a year ago by all
the national plants and private armament
firms put together. OF course, the Dig
armament firms have been greatly eX-
tended since then and that figure does
not apply to their present output.
Numbers of manufacturers who have
hitherto been engaged in producing quite
different goods have sacrificed their bus1-
ness and good will in order to take up
the manufacture of munitions. They have
done it for the asking and ungrudgingly.
Many of them will find themselves at the
end of the war with a great part of their
good will jeopardized or lost.
"Coincidently with this programme of
bringing in private firms it became evil
dent that even with their help the output
would still be insufficient, so the ministry
of munitions proceeded to provide a large
number of Single purpose" factories;
that is, plants where the work could he
specialized. Skilled engineers divided the
work up into a number of repetition oper-
ations such as could be done with a
few weeks training by women or I'M
skilled labor. There are now in the coun-
try SO national shell factories of this kind,
all of which have either been built or
reconstructed by the government OF
these So are under the management of
the boards previously referred to. Others
are managed for the ministry by expert
enced munitions firms.
OUTPUT DOUBLED
Just as the output of shells, shell
bodies, etc, had to be augmented so we
had similarly to provide explosives and
filling factories. AS result of this, apart
from the enormous extensions of exist
ing factories 10 special explosive works
have been provided. This has pract-
cally doubled the whole previous output
of the country. Similarly there had to be
built IA filling factories, each of which
has been provided since last August AL
together, there are now 80 national fac
tories which have been equipped with
machinery and in most cases built DUR
ing the last IL months.
I'VE can now produce in less than
month as many of the lighter shells as
could have been turned out in the whole
year of 1914-15. In less than fortnight
we can make more heavy shells than we
could have done in the year 1914-15 We
can now turn out in a week far more
shells, filled and complete, than were used
in the whole battle of Loos, which ex-

London, July 25.-(Correspondence of the
Associated Press when the British
forces in France began their great often
sive bombardment on June 27 and for
days hurled into the German lines such
an avalanche of steel and lead as the
world had never known before, even the
people of England expressed wonder that
it should have been possible to assemble
so vast store of munitions. The story
of how these supplies were created con-
stitutes one of the most important chap
tiers in the history of British achieve
ment during the war
At the outbreak of hostilites two years
ago there were only three important gov
eminent munitions factories in the Brit
ish isles. Today some 1000 government
controlled firms, employing more than
2,O00,000 workers. are turning out virtually
all of the tremendous amount of war ma
terials which have gone to equip the s.,

LLOYD-GEORGE'S WORK

The organization of this great industry
has been accomplished in little more
than one year by the ministry of NUM-
tons, which was established in May, 1915,
under the leadership of David Lloyd
George. In that time every available re-
source of the country has been. built for
the production of munitions. Some idea
of the scale upon which this organization
has been carried out may be gathered
from the statement that the largest of
the new plants covers an area nine miles
