are unable to reform.
In the advance many prisoners
have been taken and much loot aban

been gathered by the Russians.

LLOYD GEORGE
GETS FACTORIES
Control of Royal Factories Trans
ferred—British Preparations
Amaze Frencn Editor.
LONDON, Sept. 15.—An official
statement issued tonight says:
“Arrangements have been made be
tween the Council of the Army and
the Ministry of Munitions for the
transfer to the latter of control of
the royal ordinance factories during
the war.”
PARIS, Sept. 15.—“The govern
ment has under control all factories
able to produce cannon, rifles, pro
jectiles, and explosives," said David
Lloyd George, the British Minister
of Munitions, in an interview with
Charles Humbert, editor of the Paris
Journal. He went on to say:
“It also controls all foundries and
machine and tool factories, and not
one pound of metal or one detached
piece is turned out by this vast in
dustrial machine which is not des
tined to be be used by our armies.
This war must not be fought with
brawny chests, but with machinery.”
From what Lloyd George showed
him, M. Humbert believes British
preparations in a way are more am
ple than those of the French. He de
clares that the army now in training
will be one of the most powerful the
world has ever seen, and when later,
it will be possible to tell what has
been accomplished by the British, the
universe will be ‘dumb with admira
tion.’ ”
