SHELLTOWN.

TO-DAY in this humming town, with many distinguished French and neutral as well as British journalists, I was shown over one of the master munition works which is turning out shell cases faster than has ever been done before, says a corres- pondent.

This one factory alone-I cannot come nearer to it than to say it is neither in the North nor the South-is producing shell cases at the rate of one million a year. Before very long it will probably be working faster even than that.

I was told that Britain could now produce munitions six times faster than at the penk period during the last war,

A short time ago this great factory was producing the implements of peace, but now it is vibrating solely in the manufacture of munitions.

Light is shed on the present position of Italy by Indications which have been received here of the reasons given to Herr Hiller for Italy's abstention from the Polial campaign during the visit of Count Clano, Hallan Foreign Minister, to Balzburg and Berch- tesgaden in the second week of August. The reasons are under- stood to be:

I had always been a tenet of Fascist foreign polley that Po- Innd should be independent.

2. The desire of the German Government for Italian milliary co-operation was in flat contradic llon to the reserve expressed by Italy when she signed the tato German military pact-"the_pact she should be of steel" that allowed two or three years to complete her military preparn- (ions.

3. The promise made by Ger- many last year that in fularo Italy's claims should have priority was not being observed.
