In fact, this policy 1s the one that bas been followed by the other big ipowers of the world. Germany in, | particular saw the folly.of endeav- oring to rely entirely upon govern- ment owned and operated plants for her military supplies and for a long ¢ime made it a point to encourage in every way private- industries, which could be called upon in casa of war to make munitions, MPING COKE 'FR(?!X A 8Y PRODUCT COKE OVEN-AN IMPCRTANT | NITRATE PRODUCING 7" By GARRET SMITH. ‘HOULD a ‘man, caught heavy shower without an -J) umbrella and forced to buy one, as soon as he thinks ‘the shower 'is over, break up the jumbrella and drop it in the nearest rebbish can? isum having learn |World War a much o |military preparedness, slump {agaln into 1ts old defenseless state? | To -say that Uncle Sam ieaught recently practicilly without iumbrellas in a heavy shower and .that -he ‘succeeded in buying on .short motice and at great cost a rtment of these pro- pretty good a: toctors 1s old stuft, :Now there is a pretty general ;feeling that these umbrellas should be preserved and kept ready for use.
