METRIC SYSTEM WOULD
HAVE FOILED KAISER
Germany cOuated On Allies confus'
ed Weights and Measures.

San Francisco, July 28.-The lack
of standards in weights and measures
among the Allies gave Germany a
great advantage in the waging OF the
world-war, according to the messages
received from prominent manufac-
turers of the United States by the
World Trade Club of San Francisco.
One of them, large manufacturer
of material used for making war mu-
nitions. President F. O. Wells of the
Greenville. Mass. Tap, Die, Machine
Tool company goes so far as to de-
clare that the Kaiser would not have
dared to declare war if the United
States and Brittania had been stand
ardized with their allies in the vital
matter of weights and measures.
The World Trade Club, represent
ing 500 leading San Francisco man
ufacturing merchants, is prompting
for the worldwide adopt
ion of meter-liter-gram, the units of
the metric system of weights and
measures, now in use by practically
all nations of the world except the
United States and Great Britain.
The campaign has brought many
from men like VIM. McA-
lee, David Starr Jordan, Nicholas
