PEACE FINDS,
BRITISH READY
Change from War Work
Prepared in 5000 Mu-
nitions Plants.

London. Nov. 13.-Englsnd has
her plans all laid for the great in
dustrial change-over.
The whole country is now one
vast nranition factory. There are
about 5000 large concerns which
nave 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 immedi-
ately.
Munitions is by no means the
only branch of industry where
sharp readjustment will be neces-
preparedness holds true generally.
VIII supply Peace Time Needs
The ministry OF reconstruction,
which has been operating for more
than a year, and which has made
an extensive survey of the indus
trial problem. has aided manufac-
turers now engaged on war work
in the preparations for the advent
OF peace. And il has worked out
plans for converting many gov
ernment-operated plants into pro-
duCtion of materials which will be
solely needed when peace comes.
To show how extensively the
ministry has worked. twenty sub
committees of experts have COM
pletely surveyed as many parts of
the neighboring fields and have
drawn up plans for the change-over.

Britain More Independent.
The ministry of reconstruction
has dwelt particularly on the pos
sibility Of development Of indus
tries making articles formerly i'm
ported from Germany-such as
electrical apparatus. hardware.
stamped metal. telephone appa-
ratus.
And 1t is IatIy stated that
Britain is going to make a lot
more OF these things for herself,
after the war"
Many materials will be dependent
upon shipping. of course, but as
for work to be done the needs are
so great that there is no call for
anxiety over the prospects OF any
industrial slump" officials say.
One instance: 100000 new homes
are needed in the British Isles i'm
mediately after the war. This
opens a huge field for various in
dustries.

HALT CALLED
ON WAR WORK
Termination of Army Con-
tracts Worth Billions
Started by Government.

The War Department yesterday be-,
gan the termination of billions of
dollars worth of army contracts and
orders.
The War Industries Board worked
until a late hour last night setting
the stage for the return of Amer
iCan industry to a peace basis.
The Labor Department continued to
assemble information from every sec
ton of the country relative to the
labor needs of peace production. The
department of Commerce laid plans
fer an early appropriation by Con-
Eress for a huge sum with which
to aid in pushing America'S foreign
trade to every port in the world.
Documentary evidence that the
United States government Is con-
vinced that wars and rumors of war
are of the past came in a detailed an
nouncement by Mai Gen. George w.
Goethals, director of purchase. stOr-
age and traffic. of the procedure to
be followed by the various supply
bureaus of the army in bringing to
an early end the work on war con-
tracts.
Novel Policy Adopted.
Whatever the form of contract, 1t Is
announced. that the army may seek
to terminate it will by agreement
with the manufacturer. place before
the Board of Contract Adjustment.
the facts upon which adjustment is
to be made. These facts are stipu-
lated to bear upon the compensation
which the manufacturer can seek for
raw materials. for partly finished
products on hand. for finished prod
uCts on hand, for cost of special ma
chinery and facilities provided and
paid for by the contractor and for
commitments, or sums supplied to
sub-contractors and the like.
The contractors will also be per-
mitted to enter claims for additional
compensation for items not coming
under the general heads enumerated.
No notices of cancellation OF con-
tracts will be given. since such a
move would prevent the government
from entering into a supplemental
agreement. Rather, the contra tor
will be requested to stop work and
become a party to a new contract.
When agreement is reached on just
and reasonable compensation to the
contractor. the agreement will be en-
bodied in a supplemental contract
which will provide that it consti-
tutes full and final settlement for all
claims arising from the initial con-
tract.

HUN DRIVE FOR FOOD
Kaiser Found Little in Conquered
Russia and Rumania.

London. April 15.-"Victory now is
a synonym for bread in Germany
declared Baron Rhondda, food con-
troller in explaining to The Asso-
ciated Press the bearing of the Ger
man food problem on the offensive in
the west TT is a fight net for Paris
but for food" he added THE cry
of Give US bread resounds incessant-
ly in Hindenburg'S ears and in my
judgment that cry has set the German
legions moving.
The kaiser hoped to starve us into
submission by the U-boat warfare.
He failed. The Russian and Ruman-
ian granaries proved to be nothing
but a mirage. The despairing ener-
gieS of hunger are at the heart OF
this fury of battle"

Capes in Black and White.
There is no fabric. no design, no
coloring that escapes being made into
a cape this spring. There is feeling
among conservative women that black
and white is the choice combination,
but fancy runs riot, with the dress
makers guiding, in every color from
artillery red to black.
Probably beige is the color pre-
ferred. 1t is neutral, negative, and
therefore, refuses to clash with a va
! riety of gowns. 1t is sometimes en-
