CHEMICALS IN WAR..

GERMANY'S ADVANTAGE.

a British mission, La February, 1910, a bend by Brigadier General H. Hartley, Controller of the Chemienl Warfare De- partment of the Ministry, of Munitions, was appointed to visit German chemical nad factories in the occupied territory, daly presented a report on the re its belated sults of the investigation, publication in no vise affects the value of the lesson it seeks to enforce, namely, the necessity for our possessing a highly organised chemical industry, if we are to embark on any future war on equal torms with Germany.

cases were

On the whole; the mission found that the German methods for the manufacture of explosives as exemplified in the works sitnad in the occupied territories, were not superior, and it suuner inferior, to the methods in use in the big national factorier erected in England during the war. It is doubtful if effi ciencies in any of the German works reached the very high levels which were attained by the best English inctories. As the bulk of the gas used by the Ger mans had bec made in the factories in the occupied zone, the mission was able to get very full infgrination both as to. the method of manufacture and the scale of production. The most striking fea ture was the fact that the bulk of the

plant employed for the production of poison, gas had been in existence prior to the war for the manufacture of dye- stuffs or pharmaceutical products.

A comparison of the facilities for the production of poison gas existing, in Ureat Britain and in Germany at the outbreak of war shows the great diand. vantage at which we were placed in this respect. In Great Britain, where the manufacture of organic chemicals had not developed, there was practically no apparatus available which could be utilised for making the gases used dur ing the later period of the war, and con sequently all the plant required had to bo designed and constructed. months elapsing before output could com

No arrangements appear to have been made prior to the outbreak of war to utilies the resources of any of the Ger- man dye factorien for war purposes.. After the battle of the Marne the Gov- ornment realised the need for expanding the output of explosives, and most of the chemical works were producing small quantities by the end of 1014. The de- mands made on them increased during
