ALLIES AT HIGHEST
 PRODUCTION POINT
Application of Resources at Maximum With America Growing Stronger
 Every Day.

Washington, Oct. 24.--The Allies are in the best position today from economic, financial commercial and military standpoints, of any time since the start of the war in 1914 it is said by officials of the government who are concerned in the mobiliza- ton of resources.
 The pootential strength Of the En- tente Powers Is greater than at any previous time, with the single excep- tion of the number of men actually available for military service, while the United States is only now ap- preaching the peak of quantity pro- duction and delivery for the Ameri- can armies, and settling down to a war pace.
 Am optimistic note was sounded also by Chairman Baruch of the War In- dustries Board, who declared that peace talk should not remove the at tention of the American people from the work of prosecuting the war with every resource at their command. a
 ''The matter of peace may be left to the president" he said. The mat ter of war is the duty Of all. Peace talk is affecting our output and mak- ing difficult the diversion of labor
 
 long as we are at war we must think war, talk war and make war"
 Thousands of factories which six months ago were turning out non-es- sential commodities are now engaged in 100 per cent. war production, it was stated. Tens of thousands of workers have been transferred to war production, although a problem exists in removing others who are needed. The financial strength of the country was manifested in the recent Liberty Loan sale.
 The production of ships at an un- prccedented rate gives promise of opening up vast stores, of supplies and materials in neutral countries.
 One of the hopeful aspects of the situation in this country is in the record breaking production of coal in the last three months. Fuel in suffi- cient quantities to meet needs for al- most the entire winter is stored now by many of the munitions and war material industries.
