WOMEN'S AID IN MUNITIONS.
OVER 100,000 REPLACING MEN. A special correspondent of the Press Association writes:
Undor the expert guidance of an official of the Government I have this week been shown how the winning of the war is to be expedited in our workshops. Organization has already accomplished miracles in the way of increased output. But just as the appetite of the Ary is insatiable for munitions, so the authorities have so ne limit to what they mean to achieve by future development of war industries. The adoption generally of night shifts, the provision of new machinery, and the utilization of every available piece of plant already in existence, are the chief points of their immediate programine. On posing itself to the realization of each of these ideals stands the obstacle of labour shortage. The really skilled men cannot be produced at will. The solution of the problems is the dilution of the empara tively small body of skilled hands by un- skilled labour.
THE TWO GERMANIES.
A TREACHEROUS ARGUMENT.
It is not fair to pin any man down to the words of an "interview," though they may be perfectly accurate, because that foria of utterance is ill-adapted to the ex- pression of exact meanings. In referring, therefore, to the conception of the two. Germanies put forward by Mr. Lloyd George recently our object is out to con trovert big views, but to guard against certain dangerous fallacies to which a loose use of the expression lunds itself. Thess fallacies underlie the propaganda of pacificists, and the more insidious, sug- gestions of those who, without definitely demanding peace, argue that, after all, draw is an old ending to war, and not such a bad thing.
A correspondent bas recently drawn at- tention to the appearance of this trencher- ous argument in a weekly paper asspointed more with the frivolous than with the seri- ous side of dife; and we gather from other

In a sense there are, of course, two Gormanies or for the matter of that, twenty.
There, as elsewhere, the people are divided into section, classes, and par- ties by differences of circumstance, Lem perament, interest, opinions, and aims. And there is the usual clash of will, among them, causing the same sort of internal discussion as in other comparable countries, But in relation to ourselves there is, and there was before the war, only one Gel- many.
No doubt war is the business of military people, and trade is the business of com- inercial people; but the notion tha tho military element dragged the commercial into war, though it has a superficial truth, is profoundly false in a deeper sense.

Dilution takes many forms. The most general practice has been to bring in the untrained woman for elementary opera tions, and put her in charge of a male operator, who instructs her, and is even- tually supplanted by his pupil. Then the partialy-skilled man may be taken off and put on higher class of work, he may alternatively, if he be of the more highly-skilled variety, be put in charge of nutmber of women operators, super- vising on, say, half a dozen machines the work he originally did on only one ma chine.
