The results of these negotiations, if successful, will be of enormous value not only in en- abling the American government to place its great resources more readily and effectively at the disposal of the Allies, but in promoting economy in purchase. Dr. Addison said - these arrangements had been facilitated greatly by the work of the Balfour mission in the United tes. The Munitions Mini . Dr. Addi- son continued, had an interest in nearly 1,600,000 tons of shipments monthly. The submarine campaign bad as it was, ®as, did not provide much comfort for the enemy when he knew, for example, that of the shell com- ponents shipped from North America the total loss since the beginning of unrestricted. submarine warfare had been only 5.9 per cent. of the amount shipped. Mr. Addison said. that before the war the production of spelter in this country was only one-third of = the national requirements, but that he hoped the capacity would be doubled before the end of the.year| Part of the plan inyolved the working of Australian zinc concenerate, which formerly was under German control. Some time ago steps were taken to obtain control of the Wolfram ores of the empire, with a view to regu- lating the stock of tungsten for the production of steel, and if the prices || at SheMeald were compared with those in New York, it would be found that the country had plofleed enormously by the entarprise. Arrangements were in hand, the minigter continued, which would in- crease the home production of alum- inum by 45 per cent. while & com- mittee of experts was considering de- velopment of copper and other niin- eral resources of the United King- dom. American Engineer Praised. Mr. Addison was speaking in the House of Commons on the estimates for the Ministry of Munitions. He gave a striking account of the work of the department sirice it started a little more than two years ago, and incidentally pald tribute: to Kenneth Quinan; a California engineer, who' designed and equipped the new fac- tories. He is not the only American citizen who has assisted the Ministry of Mu- nitions throughout its career,” sald the minister, “but in the great work at Queensferry, Gretna and other places we bécome possessed through his genius of factories, which to a very large extent will be of perma- nent value to peace industries.” Mr. Addison said that some con- [ ception of the magnitude of the pro- duction of explosives might be formed from the fact that in March, 1917, the capacity for the production of high explosives was more than four times that of March, 1915. The ministry had recently reached ‘Buch a state of production with re- spect to gun ammunition that it was able to divert certain -national fac- tories ta assisting other sections of the munitions program. He mentioned the discovery of a component of a new type which possessed great advantages ‘for certain purposes. A large supply of this had been produced in a short time and was .proving the greatést value in facilitating the advance at the front and in saving life. The requirements regarding the ac- cummulation of a great reserve of field gun ammunition would be met in good time, and despite the enor- mous expenditure in the first nine weeks of the offensive, the stock of filled shells had only fallen off 7 per cent. Field Marshal Haig had en- thusiastically reported on the ac- curacy and fine detonating quality of the ammunition, whether it was used. for wire cutting, barrage or other purposes. Canada to Send Railroad. The output of machine guns and rifles was fully equal to the demands, while for rallway purposes tracks pulled up in England, Australia, and Canada. had been utilized. Canada had arranged to pull up 800 miles of track an ship it complete when want- ed. More than 2,000 miles of track had already been supplied in complete condition, and nearly 1,000 locomo- tives, apart from hundreds supplied by the railways. The supplies of the new- design tanks were coming forward excellent- 1y, and, continued the. minister, “the end ‘of -the story is not yet’ for the enthusiasm of Colonel Stern, the in- ventor of the tanks, and his colleagues know no limits.'” With respect to steel the minister said that the output in this country before the war had for some time been stationary ‘at ‘a’little over 7,000,000 tons yearly. The output was now 1 000,000 tons, and ‘he would be disa pointed if the country did not'reach a 12,000,000-ton output by the end of next year. Within fourteen months the capacity for the manufacture of. basic steel had increaged by 30 per cent. .The demands for steel were so many that the control had been very close, and, despite all the help from Cana and the United States, he could not offer any immediate progs pect of relief. Notwithstanding the cost of material and labor, the Govs ernment was obtaining steel plates in this. country at less than half. their cost in_the United States, while. shell steel cost 30 per cent less. Referring to salvage operatiom it the front, the minister said it w:si ‘necessaries of war. A\TTENTIO-N*!‘ $9.

ABlies Superior in Trenches. Regarding trench warfare, he said: “While we started behind in the race, we are probably now as superior to the Germans in this section of war- fare as we are in that of artillery.” More than 1,600,000 steel helmets had been supplied in the last six months, and whereas in December the tonnage required for trench war- fare material was 7,648 tons. in the last six months it.was 17,963 tons. The work of the ministry, Mr. Addi- son said, had almost doubled within the last year. The aircraft supply at the beginning of the year required an additional 10.000 workers, and what applied to aircraft applied also to shipbuilding, gun-making, tanks, agricultural implements, and other The widespread employment of women had been attended, singularly, with little difficulty. From 60 to 80 per cent. of the machine work oun shells, fuse, and trench warfare sup- plies was done by women. Comparing the cost of ammunition during the last, year with what the same would have cost the previous year, Mr. Addison said that the sav- ing was £43,000,000. Cotton imports in recent weeks have fallen below the point necessary to meet the demands of all the mills, and the stocks are cgnsequently be- eing depleted, said orge Henry Roberts, parliamentary secretary to the board of trade, !n replying to a question in the House of Commons today. Steps were being taken by the government te increase the imports of cotton as far as possible. Mr. Roberts added, and in the circum- stances it had been thought advisable to set up a board of control. Certain powers would be delegated | to this board under the Defense of ! the Realm act, Mr. nounced, and it would have control over the distribution and use of raw cotton. SOCIALIST TALKS AT PATRIOTIC RALLYi But He Forgets His Lines Whm] Trowd Yells “Lynch Him,” “Get & Rope.” New York, June 29—While the ! -“Mid-day Minute Men,” \a volunteer recruiting organization of downtown business men, were holding their reg. ular recruiting rally shortly after noon yésterday in their rooms at 57 Chambers street, a young man arose in ‘the audience and announced that he wanted to make a’ patriotic #peech. He was promptly invited to the piatfarm and vold that he might have ten minutes. ... The young man steppe: '%p. looked _somewhat nervously ‘at mflnneo. want to say that I am utterly op- posed to this war and the way it was brought upon the American peo- ple.

The crowé which had listened to his opening re- marks in amaszed silence, surged to- ward the platform with tries of “Put him out! Lynch him! Get a rope!” The,speaker turned pale, and lost the thread of his discourse. The presid- ing members of the Minute Men, however, who had invited him to the platform under the colors which he had originally assumed, quieted the crowd with some difficulty, and suc- ceeded in getting him out of the hall with a whole skin.
