(. Woolwich Factory. ■♦ ■ - Britain's war factory has been very busy lately, and perhaps a few fact j about it may be interesting just j now. Woolwich Arsenal is a busy I place always, and the normal strength I of 20,000 now on duty. At Woolwich Arsenal then, more than £22,000 is expended in wages every week, which means that a sum of over one million pounds is required every year for that purpose. Then the "Woolwich Titan," the! gigantic hammer used for forging ! purposes cost — to put it in more iin- 1 pressive language— one-twentieth of j a million, and not a few of the great ! guns turned out abstract £200 or ! more from the British ratepayer pockets every time they fire. The ! 1 Arsenal covers an area of from 500 j S to 600 acres, and has a river frontage | c of nearly a mile. ! -I- * * :;-. 1 If one imagines from 10,000 to 20,- J 000 skilled artisans working all the , year round one begins to realise in j jsome small degree what a terrible i j strain upon the nation it is to even keep the army and navy upon their peace as well as war strength in armaments. For whether we are ! - fighting, about to fight, or very un- i '■ likely to fight, steady work goes on j r at .Woolwich just the same. J
