MUNITIONS
SPEED-UP
LONDON, TO-DAY.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF MA- CHINE TOOLS SINCE LAST YEAR, IN PARTICULAR BY THE INTRO-, DUCTION
TOOL OF A CUTTING COMPOSED OF A TUNGSTEN- CARBIDE POWDER BONDED WITH COPPER POWDER, WAS THE MAIN THEME OF A COMMONS STATE- MENT ON MUNITIONS OUTPUT MADE YESTERDAY BY AN OFFI- CIAL OF THE MINISTRY OF SUPPLY.
He revealed that the machine tools now in use were capable of producing eight times as much as their pre- decessors in 1918, instancing the pro- gress by a fact such as that machines engaged in producing a certain type of shell at the rate of 400 -to 500 daily, would only have produced at the rate of 40 daily in the last war.
Another type of machine which made 100 bombs daily in the last war was now improved to make 500 daily.
The cutting edges of modern ma- chine tools can be kept in use without regrinding for ten times as long as a quarter of a century ago. Reuter.

SINGS HYMN OF HATE
Nazi composer Herms Niel was received by Hitler to be congra- tulated on the "tremendous suc- cess" of his nowest work "Against England-Song for the Navy." Here is a translation of the "mas-. terpiece":
Our flag is fluttering at the
mast,
As a sign of Germany's might, And we won't stand it any
longer,
That the Englishman makes
fun of us, Give ma
sweat, Your nice white hand, Farewell, farewell, farewell, For we sail against England
now!

Our holy Fuehrer has ordered: Go and crush England at once And when we come back vic-
toriously,
Then the splendid Fuehrer will
speak to us,
Giving us his hand so good, Adolf Hitler's hand so good, Farewell, farewell, Hell
Hitler!
Until we sail against England
again.
MOUSTACHE COMING OFF THE FRENCH SOLDIER
Paris, Nov. 21. servicemen That French
In the prosent war are no longer wearing the fashionable moustache of the Great War is reported by the Parls edition of the "New York Herald Tribune" this morning.
To-day's fashion, the paper states, is a "collier de barbe" extending from one ear to the other by way of the chin.
"This is an important change in style as the mustache was almost a part of the old uniform," the paper said.
"ONE IN TEN" Among officers, one out of teri only wears a moustache in contrast with the Great War period when one officer was confined to barracks for un-having shaved his upper lip.
Major Syme, of Electric Road, and Mr. C. F. Deadman, of Gloucester Road, were the victims of an known thief on October 31 when two outboard motors were stolen from their yachts which were lying in Causeway Bay Shelter.
Last Thursday, however, the po- lice raided a fishing junk, No. 1141- HA, and arrested two men and two women, when they found on board the two stolen motors.
of All four, including the mistress the fishing junk, Sin Kwong, 27, were this morning charged with theft and, alternatively, with receiving.
The mistress sald an unknown man gave her $3 for placing them on board her junk,
or
The mistress was convicted on the receiving charge and fined $200 three months' hard labour. The other three were discharged.
MOTORING CASES
Thus, the word "pollu" meaning halry one has almost disappeared from the rank and file where it was used to designate any soldier as al- most everyone wora a moustache.
The collier de barbe is now com- in mon in the Infantry. It started the air force, but has been banned from many squadrons.--Havas.
