Nations Factories
Cut Cost of Shells

Correspondence OF The Associated Press.)
MANCHESTER, England, June 49,
England's national shell factories act
as barometer for prices paid by the
the government for shells turned out
in private plants. They have saved
the Treasury many millions of pounds.
In this district there are seventeen
national she'll factories. Patriotic en-
gineers organized them, and they are
operated so skilfully and efficiently
that, despite steadily increasing cost
of material and labor, the price first
paid for shells has been reduced by
one-half or more.
The buildings Of one plant cover
fifteen acres The plant is arranged
for the manufacture of both high ex-
plosive and shrapnel shells of large
calibre. Since beginning operations it
has turned out to date nearly 100000
shells. Most of the raw steel used
came from America. also many of the
factory's machines. Probably at no
factory in The district is munitions
work carried on at such a high and
sustained rate Of speed.
The number of employees exceeds
10000, of whom a large number are
women recruited from textile and limo
leum plants

Harden Assails Teuton
Dreams of Conquest
~ u k unf t" Editor Denies
Hertling's Charge That AL
lies Want Annexations

AMSTERDAM, July Macmillan
Harden devotes practically the whole
of to-day's issue Of "Die Zukunft" to
proving that Chancellor Won Hertling's
charge against the Allies that they
want to annihilate Germany is untrue.
Harden quotes President Wilson's
Mount Vernon speech and A. j. Bal
tours last House Of Commons speech
to show how bitter the Entente nations
are against militarism, but that they
are ready to give the German people
fair chance.
He compares these speeches with
those recently delivered either by the
German Chancellor or various Junkcrs
in the Prussitn Upper House, where
the demand for unlimited annexations
is continually heard. He concludes by
saying:
Germany must begin to see clearly
on which side is the will to annexa-
tions. Germany must begin to fight
against this power in its midst-a
power with which Germany, herself,
long ago became disgusted."
