All our best benzole recovery plants," The Motor adds, have been built by the Germans, and their astuteness was such that if a firm did not wish to pay for such a plant the Germans were ready to install it. They would put it up either free or for part payment, and take the benzole and others of the by-products for payment, until the amount owing was paid off. Thus we are faced with the appalling taob that in time of peace British coal bas produced British benzole, which has been taken by the Germans,G and then no doubt deto venised for making TNT. in preparation for this premeditated war."

The Daily Chronicle's Petrograd eor respondent says that the output of munitions has already been considerably increased. This is only the beginning of a great national effort.
Il Secolo's Petrograd correspondent says that the Russians are confident of being shortly furnished with abundant minations enabling them to reassume the
