bedford, England, July 2O.-The
munition factories of Great Britain
responded nobly to the heavy demand
LOT increased fighting material result
ing from the present great German
offensive, according to F. G.. Kella-
way, Parliamentary Secretary to the
guns, he told the Liberal Club, ex-
ceeded the estimates by 80 per cent
Ministry OF Munitions. Deliveries OF
while deliveries of gun carriages were
OIL per cent greater than before.
| There was great demand for in
creased supplies of particular kind
OF shell, but there was sufficient on
hand to supply this from stock. The
morse artillery after long inaction,
suddenly was called upon for a most
active kind of service and consequent
" an immense increase in the out
Iput OF ammunition for that branch of
the service was necessary. The work
[shops, Mr.. Kellaway said rallied
magnificently and by the end of April
the weekly output had increased
500 per cent. The production of ma
chine guns, small arms and rifles in
creased proportionately.
All this, Mr.. Kellaway added, was
accomplished in spite Of the fact that
Tor the month previous to the often
sive an average of 3,46O men were re-
leased per week for the army and for
the first month of the offensive this
figure was increased to $500 per
week.
AT a meeting for enrolling women
for the Land Army, Mr.. Kellaway
said that since the beginning of the
war there had been two great pieces
OF constructive work. One was that of
munitions and the other agriculture.
With regard to the former the women
had done splendidly The excavation
work at one of the most important
Notifications on the northeast coast
was carried out by fisherwomen from

Great Increase In Output Of
British Munition Factories

ing center in the country no con
demned article is allowed to go to the
scrap heap if some part of it can be
salvaged and used to repair some
other piece of equipment. No waste
OF materials about the camp is al
lowed to go unnoticed or unchecked
Too many broken pieces of bread
in a garbage can will bring to the
commander of the unit a notice from
the commanding general Of the camp
to have his cooks issue bread III
smaller slices so that none will be
wasted. The general has learned OF
the waste through daily reports laid
on his desk.
Every pair of shoes condemned as
unfit for further use passes under
eyes of skilled shoemakers in olive
drab, drawn from the ranks. A sur
prisingly large percentage find their
way back into the Quartermaster s
stock to be reissued. Some of them
are practically reconstructed.
A soldier wears the seat out of a
pair of khaki trousers, and gets a
new pair. The soldier-tailor in the
shops of the condemnation and re,
clamation division finds another pair
which have faded to about the same
shade and replaces the missing seat.
The garment itself goes back into
store and is reissued for garrison
wear.
AS with trousers and shoes so with
every piece of personal equipment
issued to soldier. Nothing is vast
ed nothing is scrapped that possibly
can be of use, and the scrap materi-
al itself is carefully conserved for
sale.
All horses used by the army have
their names reached White and
gray hair is kept together while all
sorrel, bay and black hair goes into
another lot Each kind of hair is al
so divided into two lots, that from
southern horses and that from north
ern horses. Dark horses hair brings
about seventy percent more than
light Southern horses have coarse
heavy hair in the name which is not
SO valuable as that from the finer
haired northern type.
Besides the condemnation and re
clamation division is ceaselessly at
work in every training center push
ing campaign of publicity, and
many of Uncle Sans soldiers when
| they go back to civil life will 60 back
| better business men because they
have been trained to watch the lit
tie leaks"

Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1918-08-30

If elected to Congress my policy
will be:
1st. To so vigorously prosecute the
war that victory will be secured with
out compromise and be so complete
that peace will be everlastingly Sc
cured.
End. To insist upon the removal
from public service men although pa
triots who are temperamentally unfit
or otherwise unqualified for the po-
sitions they occupy and be replaced
with competent patriots.
3rd. To eliminate opportunity for
graft, waste and unjust profits.
4th. To amend the excess profit tax
law to make it understandable and
equitable.
5th. To insist that members of price
fixing boards and commissions who
are sectionally or otherwise biased be
removed and replaced by those who
are sufficiently comprehensive to pro-
tect our economic welfare by proper
ly equalizing prices.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1918-08-30

9Th. To urge the enactment of
proper laws for the protection of the
lives, health, and strength of labor
ing men, women and children; for in
creasing their educational advantages
and for the promotion of labors gen
eral welfare.
7th. To urge laws for safeguarding
and properly developing agricultural
interests and for the proper represen-
tation of the producer on all boards
and commissions considering matters
concerning their interests.
8th. To prepare for the readjust-
ment period after the war by the Gre
alton of a dominant merchant marine
and the readjustment of tariff on such
sound protective principle that it
will maintain our American standard
of wages and living, and insure our
industrial progress and economic in
dependence.
9th. To bring about a more bene-
fetal eXemplification of the gratitude
of this Nation to it's preservers, than
now exists.
