IN a BRITISH MUNlTION CENTER.
ENGLAND, September 6.-One factory
here engaged in making small arms
munitions and shell cases illustrates
manufacture OF munitions in England
since the beginning of the war This
factory in August, 1914, made car
tribes at the r&ae of 1,000,0 ,000 a year.
Its greatest output in all its history
had been 100000 d week for a stretch
of ten weeks during the Boer war.
Today the output of cartridges is %
000oUy a week, or more than 3,500.00o
a day.
More than 10000 workers are re-
qured 10 make the cartridges and shell
cases turned out by this single firm.
Half of these workers are men and
half women and girls. The heavier and
more trying tasks fall to the mem tasks
demanding lightness and deXterity of
hand fall to the women and girls. EN-
perience has taught that women and
girls generally do their work with
peculiar enthusiasm. loyalty and eff
cheney. In the more delicate tasks where
manual deXterity is more important
than muscular strength, they are said
to excel distinctly.
For example, in feeding cartridge
cases into revolving discs the girls
quickly acquire a mechanical proficiency
that seems quite beyond the power of
men.
Agile and Alert.
| These girls in the midland counties of
| England are especially agile of body and
alert OF mind. They have bright eyes,
sharp features and quick, shapely hands.
| There does not appear to he a Stacker
| among them Their whole idea is not to
restrict the output, but push it to the
| highest possible pitch. If there is any
/ trouble among the workers it arises from
a kind OF Jealous uneaSireSs on the pa, /
of the men lest the skill and assiduity
| Of the girls harm the industrial future
! of the men. However. / find little or no
anxiety among the manufacturers re-
! speCtin2 the labor situation after the
war. one of them said to me-
! After the war many of the girls now
serving their country N it's greatest need
will return to the situations they held
before the war. Many Will marry and

After passing through this great fac

a flood of destructive material. one re-

concentrated and continuous labor. 1t is
astounding with what rapidity and ac-
curacy of finish a sheet of copper, full
inmate of mercury. brass. cordite or
powder. lead and nickel, can be trans
formed into cartridges ready for the fir

ENTIRE NORTH ATLANTIC SQUAD
RON WILL PATROL WATERS
NEAR NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-It was auth
oritatively stated today that the en-
tire north Atlantic squadron of the
British navy has been ordered to pa
troll the waters adjacent to New York
to hunt the German raider, which has
been reported lurking off Nantucket
lighthouse.
Advance detachments of the squad
ron have already entered the New
York area and are making prepara-
tions for laying the trap which is ex-
pected to close in upon the raider.
The British consulate here intimated
today that the fleet may operate over
distances 200 miles from Sandy Hook.
A fleet from Halifax is steaming to-
ward the patrol squadron hoping to
assist in trapping the raider
Several steamship captains have re-
ported the presence on the waterways
of mysterious vessels, but none have
definitely identified the vessels as be-
ing one of the raiders which operated
two weeks ago off Pernambuco.
Wireless messages from London
today reported that sailings of all AL
lied ships have been embargoed pend
ing the effort to seize the German ship.
