The fact that tl\e Allies are surpassing the Germans iin the constriictio.il of artillery is indicated by tlie despatch from Essen stating that skilled workmen are being recalled from the trenches to reinforce the factory hands. Two thousand additional workers are being added; this week to the normal force of 7000 employed at Krupps works at Essen. Hindonburg is directing the employment of these extra artillery makers, the suggestion being he feels the. pressing need of more big guns, which Germany hitherto lias been unable to supply.

Much resentment is sluwiiv at the supply of American munitions to the Allies. Director von Bodenhausen ,in control at Essen works, declared that if the United States would not ship ammunition to Europe the war would end. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A SHIPPING REPORTER.
