Enaland,s Great Arsenal.

Though the vast arsenal of Wool.
wich is at our doors, few of us who
sleep in London have any real sense of
its colossal presence, it's immense sig
nificancc, the tremendous force 1t
stands for. It's origin dates back to
other wars, but when the present war
began it's workers were only $4,000 in
all, without a woman in the number.
Now there are 1900 women and
10000 men.
That is not all. Notwithstanding its
fierce reality Woolwich is a symbol
rather than a geographical expression.
To that center Of the Thames, 31a
miles by 2h, with it's numbcrleSS
workshops, its endless enu and its
l20 miles of internal railway, there
radiate the activities of scores of as
soci:lte factories round about, so that
10000 workers more, chiefly wompn
$4,000 in ally, are feeding this almost
futliomless reservoir.
WOOlwich is Il great mechanical
octopus with arms that reach over,
across and around London and the
country about it.-LondOn Times.
