According 20 an Amsterdam corro-

ties warn travellers 20 wear warm
clothing, not only on long journeys,
but also when using the Berlin local

HOW WAR REMADE
INDUSTRIAL CANADA
Business of Providing Britain with Munitions mas
Rrouobt REORGANIZATION Of Lasting Effect and
Has Made the Dominion Workers Wore
Expert Than Ever Before

Its work has grown until to-day It is
one OF the two or three greatest busI-
ness enterprises on the North American
continent. Consider what the organlza-
ton means. The situation differs from
that in the United States, where large
corporations contract to supply com
plete empty or finished shells, with or
without the fuses. In Canada the
board has placed orders for component
parts with small establishments in all
the provinces of the Dominion except
Prince Edward Island.
How Munitions Are Made
Mr.. Flavelle, chairman of the I'm
perial Munitions Board in Canada. eX-
plains the system followed in these
words:
I'VE crossed the Channel into New
foundlsnd, and we have almost $500
miles from the first factory in the East
to the last factory on the Pacific Coast.
We have six hundred odd establish
ments working for US. We have be.
tween 200 and $50 for which We are di.
rcctly responsible to supply with raw
product, and these factories, as far
apart as four thousand miles, separated
by all the physical conditions incident
10 the weather in this country, are alb
solutely dependent upon the good sense,
the judgment and the capacity OF this
board 20 supply them with the raw
product which will keer them going
day By day. We purchase steel and
ship it 900. 1900, 1000 miles to have
it forged. We ship it from the forging
plants back again 500 or 600 miles,
or forward 1000 miles to machining
plants. We purchase the other com
ponent parts of the shells from manu-
facturers as far south as Florida, and
as far east as the United States or
Canada carries you. We gather these
parts and send them 20 remote points
and every manufacturer from ocean to
ocean manufacturing and assembling
shells is dependent upon what We may
accomplish in delivering these forgings
and component parts that they may
keep up sustained deliveries Of finished
shells

Syndicate's Profits Certain

In the event OF the plan failing, &C
cording to the bill Of complaint,
further provision in the agreement IS
that Seligman & Co. should receive
commission Of one-hah per cent and
the syndicate per cent, or total OF
s225 900. By this plan the company
would pay $4,000 II the plan is sue
cessful, plus per cent on any part OF
the stock not taken by stockholders
and s225.OOO If the plan is not con-
summated.
The bill charges that there is no au-
thority in the corporation laws Of New
Jersey for the creation Of this new
class Of stock and it would be viola
ton Of the contract rights Of the pres
ent stockholders. It is further alleged
that the plan is unlawful in that 1t
would result in the company issuing
and receiving less than par for its
common stock.

Employment Of Women.

Surely il means much TO the future
of Canada. aside entirely from the pres
ent benefits of orders executed for the
immortal and Allied authorities, that so
large a body Of workers are gaining
experience in munitions manufacture,
and thousands Of them are now trained
in delicate mechanical operations al
most unknown in Canada before. Near
IL 5000 women have already been used
in dilution Of male labor in munitions
plants and the number will rapidly in
crease. Canada has become an impor-
tant part Of the imperial munitions
supply organization, and the Imperial
Munitions Board is now constructing R
number OF factories which undoubtedly
will be continued in operation after
the war.
But more important than the secur-
ing Of new factories is the expert
training for so many Canadian work
ers and the impetus which the work
has given to the employment of women
Whens one realizes that women work
ers are being used to an increasing eX-
tent in many other branches Of indus
trial and commercial activity, replacing
men on military service, and that they
are being trained to the new work, one
can understand that this country may
in the future have a larger proportion
Of its population actually engaged in
useful and productive occupations than
ever in the past. Leaving out Of &C
count the soldiers and their families, q
larger percentage of the people of the
Dominion are to-day self-supporting
and a smaller proportion are dependent.
Industrial Leaders Awakened
Not only is the working class in Can
ada becoming more expert by reason Of
the war conditions, but the capacity OF
Canadian captains Of industry has
been greatly and permanently in
creased. Before the war manufac-
turers were content with comparatively
small things. Foreign trade oppor-
tunities in many cases were ignored, or
at least not sought. The outlook was
largely Canadian rather than world
wide. The effect of the war has been
tremendous. To the end Of 1916 war
orders to the amount Of 81 ,0e5, 900, 600
had been placed in Canada and there is
every indication that the current year
will bring others in increasing volume.
Our manufacturers are literally hsv-
ing greatness thrust upon them. And
in the midst of the war prosperity a
new sense Of responsibilities and OBJ
ligations-to the state. to their en-
ployes and to the public generally-is
being developed and broader vision
attained The Imperial Munitions
Board in Canada is expanding annually
two and n. half times as much a. the
expenditures made by the Federal gov
eminent Of Canada in normal year

Bankers Gain Understanding

Despite great difficulties, tho Board
has made a remarkable success of its
work. II is an outstanding example but
by no means the only one-of how war
necessities are bringing forward and
proving industrial leaders, encourag-
aging cooperative effort, promoting
business initiative, training men for
big enterprises-in short, putting Ca
madam industry upon an efficiency
basis. The operations of the Board
will he an object lesson for many
years TO the business men OF the Do
minion. I G@
Canadian bankers have never been
lacking in real enterprise, but new rela-
tions have been established as a conse-
ouence OF war conditions. azd Canada's
foreign trade should greatly benefit. It
might almost be said that the war had
"internationalized Canadian banking.
Certainly the experiences of the past
two and half years have brought the
bankers into closer contact with world
finance. It has taught them to under
stand better their own resources and TO
have more confidence in the capacity Of
the Canadian people. Because of that
experience the bankers are better fitted
70 take their full part in promoting the
interests Of the Dominion after peace
is restored.
ANY reference to the present fnan-
cial affairs of Canada is incomplete
without at least passing mention of the
splendid services of Sir Thomas White,
Minister of Finance. His financial
genius has been tested and, to-day.
with the confidence Of the whole peo-
pie of Canada, he is source OF
strength and is properly numbered
among the national assets of the coun-
try. Indeed, Canadian leaders in all
branches Of national life have been pre-
pared By the experiences of the war for
greater usefulness, new leaders have
been discovered and the contact with
world affairs which the war has given

mandment. Like most other command
ments it is not always obeyed, for

to disregard the example in eXtrava-
gance set by the rich and prosperous
nation to the south. Nevertheless there
is much significance in the fact that the
people of Canada are beginning to think
and to talk economy, private and pub
lie. Sir Thomas White has already in
timated that it may be necessary to
curtail or to suspend entirely the oper-
alton of non essential industries. "The

hears that the authorities are contem-
plating prohibition Of the use of gold

Toronto, February ~.
So extensive and revolutionary have
been the changes in Europe brought
,bout by the war that everybody ac-
cents as self-evident truth the state
ment that conditions there can never
be the same as they were before August
1914. But few citizens o. the united
States. and certainly not many Jana
dian, themselves. realize that the direct
and indirect effects of the war upon
Canada are of tremendous Importance
Business men of the Republic must
reckon with those changes, for out OF
the necessities and the opportunities OF
the war has come degree of nauonai
efficiency unknown before. a nationai
organization Of industry and commerce
which will play an important part IN
trade competition after peace IS at
tanned. A new spirit Of cooperation
under government direction has been
developed and the lessons learned dur
ing the past two and one-half years
will not be easily forgotten or dlsre-
garded. Canada has gained in efficiency
much more than the struggle has cost
this country in treasure,
Meaning Of Organization
II means much for a country really
"a he organized for the achievement OF
definite national aim. When eacn
productive unit is left to follow freely
the line Of least resistance and most
temporary profit there is necessarily
much waste and economic loss. On the
other hand, effective centralized dlrsc-
ton Of the industrial powers of a coun-
try may result in vastly increased pro
duction and the attainment OF results
previously considered impossible. IL
requires some great national crisis 10
teach the lesson of organization out'
once learned. its effects will be endur-
ing Therein lies the explanation, or
AZ least part Of the explanation, OF the
remarkable fact that Canada to-day IS
producing more war munitions than any
nation except Germany was producing
before the war. That explains, too, the
fact that $50 factories in Canada are
now employed on munitions work, with
no less than 100000 workers and in
sp.ctors, and that orders in 1917 Will
il is estimated, exceed s700,0O0,0Oo, or
nearly 500 for every man, woman and
child in the Dominion. In the course
Of an address recently before the Cana
dian Club OF Ottawa Mr.. j. W. Fla
velle, chairman Of the Imperial NUM-
tions Board in Canada, said:
"The total percentage Of shells pro-
duced in Canada in relation TO all the
shells used at the British front is =
percentage so large that would amaze
some Of you if were at liberty to ex-
press the figures"
