London.-England has her plans ali
laid for the great industrial change
over.
There are about 5000 large concerns
which have 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 Immediately.
Munitions is by no means the only
branch of industry where sharp read
iustments will be necessary. But the
same statement of preparedness holds
true generally.
The ministry of reconstruction,
which has been o -r7ting for more
than a year, and T-.lca has made an
extensive survey OF the Industrial
problem. has aid anufacturers
who have been engaged on war work
in the preparations for the advent OF
peace. And it has worked out plans
for converting many government-op-
Grated plants into production OF ma
terials which will be sorely needed.
To show how extensively the minis
try has worked. 20 subcommittee or
experts have completely surveyed as
many parts of the neighboring field
and have drawn up plans for the
change owe which have been placed
at the disposal of the industrial chiefs.
Rehabilitation plans have been
given careful study. and, while the Of
fetal report has not yet been Issued,
It is known that 1t provides for dis
banding by the needs Of different
trades, and not by military units. Men
with large families Will also be re-
leased early.
The ministry of reconstruction has
dwelt particularly on the possibility
of development of industries making
articles formerly imported from Ger
many-such as electrical apparatus,
hardware, stamped metal and tele-
phone apparatus.
And 1t is fatty stated that Britain
is going to make a lot more of these
things for herself after the war"

A Quarter Of a Million Men

No more vivid illustration of
the sacrifices which the latest
German offensive on the western
front has entailed could be i'm
agined than the official British
estimate that a quarter of a mil
lion men have been lost to the
British Army, says an exchange.
A hundred thousand of these, to
be sure, are counted among the
prisoners taken; but that leaves
the list of killed and wounded
staggeringly long. The figures
are all the more impressive when
we consider that one main fea-
ture in General Haig's strategy
has been not to sacrifice life
needlessly, but to withdraw from
a position if the holding of it en-
tailed losses which could be
avoided. Since the Germans
have pursued the opposite course,
and have not hesitated to fling
division after division into the
very jaws of death, it is plain
that the wastage of man power
has been almost beyond prece-
dent. The superiority of the al
lies in this respect must be es-
tablished in the end, if the Ger
man losses are greater than
theirs. But the contest will be
long drawn out unless the move
ment of American troops is
speeded to the utmost. That is
the main thing now.

Loyal Negroes

One noteworthy feature of the
present drive for the Liberty
Loan is that Mississippi negroes
are subscribing in large amounts
for these government securities.
This is but another evidence that
the negroes of the state are
thoroughly patriotic, when they
are told what the war is all
about, and made to understand
its probable effect upon them.
Thousands of negroes from this
state are in training camps.
Many have been sent to France
as stevedores, and are even now
unloading vessels at French ports
taken over by the American gov
eminent. Many others are
serving in the fighting branches
of the army and navy. They are
making faithful soldiers, too, &C.
cording to the testimony of those
who have seen them. Jackson
