Altogether there are now ninety national factories which have been cquipped with ma ery and in most cases built during the| last twelve months. “We can now produce in less than| a month as many of the lighter shells as could have been turned out in the whole year of 1914-1¢ In less than a fortnight we can now make more heavy shells than we could have done in the year 1914-1915.
