A similar number of workmen are

the following statement of the effect
strikes in German cities are likely to
have upon the production of NUM-
tions.
Strikes at Adlershof, the Berlin
suburb mentioned in today's dis
patches, will affect one of the i'm
portant centers of the German mill

Important war chemical works, spe-
cializing in the manufacture of con-

"Spandau, where the strike also is
reported spreading, is the site of one
of Germany's big arsenals, and a cen
ter for the manufacture of ammuni-
ton, as well as electrical plants de.
voted to war work.
"Spandau and Adlershof differ from
the usual German industrial centers
in that large numbers of skilled
Service because of their greater value
in war plants, are employed there
rather than the women and youths
who make up a high proportion of
Germany's industrial army in war
time. The men are ,largely enrolled
