750,000 BRITISH
111 51 THE FRONT
Lloyd-George Makes the Announce
ment In Discussing Muni
tions Question.
LONDON, May 10—The British ex
peditionary force in France, which at
the beginning of the war consisted
of six divisions, has been increased
to more than thirty-six divisions, or,
roughly speaking, 750,000 men accord
ing to a statement made by David
Lloyd-George, Chancellor of the Ex
chequer.
. The figures made public by the Chan
cellor as to the size of the British
army in France and the expenditure
of ammunition have caused great sur
prise in England, where the opinion
has been general that about half that
number of men had reached the
front, especially as there has been
no s’gns of any decrease in the nuum
ber of khaki-clad men training in this
country.
These divisions, the Chancellor of
the Exchequer said, were adequately
supplied, and every man who had
dropped had been replaced. It was
one of the most magnificent pieces
of organization ever performed, and
nothing like it, he said, had ever been
done before by any country.
Remarking that as much ammuni
tion had been expended in the battle
of Neuve Chapelle as during the
whole Boer war. Mr. Lloyd-George
said that the character of the ammu
nition had to be changed in the mid
dle of the war, and to secure sup
plies sub-contracts were given to be
tween 2,500 and 3,000 firms. When
it was found that they could not keep
up the supplies the government took
steps to take over all works suitable
for the manufacture of munitions.
As a result there had been a great
increase in the output.
If they took the figure 20, the
chancellor said, as the amount of ar
tillery ammunition manufacturer in
September, in October it was 90, in
November 90, in December 156, in
January 186, in February 256 and in
March 388.
Lloyd-George said that Great Brit
ain was also supplying her allies with
munitions, and that in spite of this
there still was a large reserve.
The chancellor adhered to his
statement that a small minority of
workmen could, through drink, throw
the whole work out of gear. He prom
ised that when the government meas
ure was introduced dealing with this
matter it would be found that it had
not been approached from the point
of view of persons who wished to ad
vance any particular idea or notion,
but from the point of view of those
who had one object In mind—an in
crease in munitions. It was no use
saying there was no more drinking
than normally, the speaker said.
These were abnormal times, and the
government had to take abnormal
measures with an evil which had be
come abnormal.
