EDITORIALS Mr. Lloyd George's intinia- tion that British prepatations for the expulsion of the Ger- man invaders from northern France and Belgium are not yet complete will prove a disap- pointment to many who hoped that the war would be brought to a triumphant end early in the summer. The Chancellor's careful allusion to the need for a very large accumulation. of ammunition and war material to be used “when the time comes to drive the Germans out of Flanders and France” indicates that it may be some time yet before the needed ac- cumulation can be made. The daily use of artillery shells is very great, and it would be most unwise to stint the army now in the field to provide sup- plies for the greater venture of the future. * * The public has no adeguate conception of the strain under which the arsenals and arms factories of Great Britain have been working during the past nine months. It is stated that three million men have offered for service. In August last, it is believed, there were not a million military rifles in the United Kingdom. To provide two million rifles would involve an average output of 8,000 weapons for every working day sinee August 1. In the early months of the war no such out- put was possible, because tools did not exist in sufficient num- bers to provide it. The prob- ability is that at present the output is from twelve to fifteen thousand rifles daily, and that there are still many thousands of men in training for whom arms have not been provided. * ¢ @ If the manufacture of rifles and small arms ammunition on an adequate scale has proved a dificult task the problem of providing artillery must have been vastly more serious. Great guns ¢annot be forged and FRED STORK’S bored and finished in a few days. The larger weapons in- volve weeks and months of la- bor by skilled artisans.

It is said that each 15-inch shel! used by the Queen Elizabeth costs $5,000. This may include the damage done to the gun as well as the cost of the projee- tile, but the fact remains thal a single day's bombardment at the Dardanelles will use up more than a month's product of hundreds of workmen en- gaged in the arsenals at home. e a ¢ yermany had vast accumu- lations of rifles, small arms ammunition, artillery and pro- jectiles when she declared war. She was “stocked up.” Britain went into battle bare of war material and without evea the brought into construction shells. tools to produce large quanti- | ties in a short time. It is not to be wondered at that there has been delay. All that Lord Kitchener could have hoped for last fall has been accom- plished. The relatively small British army sent to the Conti- nent has assisted the French in holding back the German rush till Britain’s great mew ariwy could be equipped and put in the field with adequate plies. The time rapidly ap- proaches when her prepara- tions will be complete. Then there will be war on the west- ern front upon such a scale as the world has not hitherto seen. But the time is not yet. —Toronto Globe. sup. HARDWARE ————— se ™0 SECOND AVE Carpenters’ Tools Builders’ Hardware Ship Chandlery Stee!

London, May 7.—A telegram to The Evening News from Copen- hagen quotes the German Coun- sellor of State, Herr Gottschalk, as saying that systematic efforts inaugurated in Ger- were being many for the purchase of suffi- jcient foodstuffs for a four-years’ lsupply. This is being done, it is isaid, on instructions to the Ger- man Chamber of Commerce from iDr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg, the Imperial Chancellor; on the ground that Germany ‘must be prepared for at least this length.” Herr Gottschalk is on his way to Sweden and Norway to organize a system for making these pur- chases.
