REVEALED IT'S INADEQUACIES.
The war revealed the inadequac-
les, laziness and incompetence of that
arrangement. When England real
lied that her batteries in the field,
equipped by private enterprise, were
rationed on a shell day, and that
this meant defeat, government fac
tories shot up in all directions and
private firms were not only controll-
ed, regulated and compelled to pool
their trade secrets, but tutored by
civilians whom they despised, to
study their own business seriously
for the first time and made to keep
those strict accounts of costs which
so soon put an end to the time-sanc-
toned but monstrous items like
$500 for a single shell.
The army soon found itself sup
piled at an unprecedentedly low cost
with more shells than it could pos

are still being broken up.
