TAKE UP PEACE WORK
Great Britain Ready for Indus
trial Change Over.
Huoe Munitions Plants Prepared for
Switch to Peace-Time
Operations.

London.-Engiand has her plans all
laid for the great Industrial change
over.
There are about 5000 large concerns
which have been engaged in munitions
work.
These factories have been prepar-
ing for months for the @quick change"
and are ready to switch to peace-time
operations Immediately.
Munitions Is by no means the only
branch of industry where sharp read
justments will be necessary. But the
same statement of preparedness holds
true generally.
The ministry of reconstruction,
which has been operating for more
than a year. and which has made an
extensive survey of the industrial
problem, has aided manufacturers
who have been engaged on war work
in the preparations for the advent OF
peace. And II has worked out plans
for converting many government-op-
Grated plants into production OF ma
terials which will be sorely needed.
To show how extensively the minis
try has worked, 20 subcommittee OF
experts have completely surveyed as
many parts of the neighboring field
and have drawn up plans for the
change over, which have been placed
at the disposal of the industrial chiefs.
Rehabilitation plans have been
given careful study, and, while the Of
fetal report has not vet been issued.
IT is known that 1t provides for dis
banding by the needs of different
trades. and not by military units. Men
with large families will also be re-
leased early.
The ministry of reconstruction has
dwelt particularly on the possibility
of development Of industries making
articles formerly imported from Ger
many--such as electrical apparatus,
hardware, stamped metal and tele-
phone apparatus.
And IL Is fatty stated that Britain
is going to make lot more of these
things for herself after the war"

A German Talk for America.

An appeal to his cOuntrymen OF
German birth to drop their hyphens
and become 100 per cent Americans
was made yesterday by Henry Ries-
enberg, anative of Prussia, who
spoke before members of the Associ-
alton of Commerce at the Hotel La
Sale on "What America Means to
Me-
Mr.. Rosenberg is an Indianapolis
business man who is making tour
of the United States for the purpose
of inducing Germans to give undiyid-
ed allegiance TO the cause for which
the United States is at war.
eff any person believes that Ger
many is right in this war and that
the United States is wrong, that per-
son should return to Germany" said
Mr. Rosenberg.
'sThis is no time for men of German
birth to sulk in their tents. Declare
your fealty to America from the
housetops if necessary, and show our
fellow Americans that we can come
out as boldly as they for the base
principles of liberty.
"Most of the Germans in America
today left Germany because they
could better their conditions, and we
have obtained rich returns. There
isn't a thing in Germany that this
country wants, and there isn't a
thing in America that Germany will
get.
s'It is to the Germans of America
who have not yet declared on which
side their sympathies are, that |
specially address myself. 1t is not
enough to buy Liberty Bonds. That is
not patriotism, but investment.
conceive patriotism to be love OF
country and expressed in terms OF
service. Patriotism to us means to
drop the German language and to
join in singing, in the language OF
America, 'sMy Country, IT'S of Thee
"The Germany of today-of blood
and iron, of deceit and duplicity, the
land whose brutalities drove us into
this warts not the Germany OF
Goethe and Heine, the Germany that
we all loved. It was soul crashing
moment to me, and to all of us when
Germany was accused of her mon
strous crimes. We could not believe
it at first, until the situation became
clarified. From now on we must be
100 per cent Americans. We will
feel that the melting pot has done
it's work"
