BRITAIN INEXHAUSTIBLE. OUTPUT OF MUNITIONS. PATIENCE OF THE PEOPLE* ■■■■ fi LONDON, May 2. In the course of his speech in the House of Commons, on the munition supplies, Mr Winston Churchill, Minister for Munitions, said that sincfl May last the Ministry of Munitions, had released over 100,000 men for the army, and had continued to release them at the rate of over 1000 daily. Mr. Churchill stated that recently less than one-sixth of the total time worked had been lost owing to disputes, while this loss had been more than wiped out by the extra time worked at Easter. “Let us end this carping about the attitude of labour,” he added, “re* garding the war. Wo ought to congratulate ourselves on the loyal heart of the people whose servants we have the honour to be ”

’ ik Mr. Churchill also paid a warm tribute to the work of 750,000 women munition workers,, to whom over nine- . tenths of the whole manufacture of our shells was due. “We are now,” he said, “turning out more aeroplanes per week than during the whole of 1914; more per month than during 1915; more per quarter than during 1916; and the output in 1918 will bo several times the output of 1917. The quality of the work has, in every respect, improved.” He confidently anticipated the primacy of our air service among the allies, and an increasing superiority over the enemy, Eegarding the use of poison gas, Mr Churchill said officers concerned with it had told him that undoubtedly our gases killed more Germans than the German gases killed our men, but the German irritant gases inflicted more casualties of a comparatively transient nature. Our gas-masks were the best in the world. We supplied them by the million, not only to our own men, but to the Italians and had larges stores available for the Americans. We were now producing guns at the most rapid rate. As, far as could be foreseen we would have sufficient guns in 1918 to fire more than all the ammunition we" could manufacture, Mr Churchill said that all the great armies inithe later stage of this war would be fully supplied with gups/and shells, but the gunners would be the limiting factor in the artillery development. Thus there was ground for believing that the Germans’ great captures would not be of so much use to them as some people thought.

Mr. Churchill concluded thus: “Look where you will, you will not get to the bottom of the resources of Great Britain. No demand'is too sudden"' to be met; no need too unexpected fir bo supplied; 1 no strain' too prolonged"for the patience of Pouf people. No sufferings can daunt our hearts.”' (Cheer's). FIGHTING THE SUBMARINE. | A NEW METHOD. The U. S. Navy Department is working upon several devices which, it is expected, will put a n end eventually to the submarine peril, says rhe New York Tribune. Since the beginning of the war Secretary Daniels has received thousands of suggestions which had for their purpose the construction of such devices and where there was anything practical in the ideas offered it has been thoroughly investigated by the navy experts and its value determined. There is one device which is believed by scientists, as well as naval experts, to be the best solution of the problem, this invention having passed beyond the blue print stage and been practically tested. It has, however, not jet been tried in the war zone.

By moans of this device, which can be operated from almost any ship, the exact location of a submarine can be determined within a few hundred feet from a ship several miles distant from the U-boat. Experts stated to-day that the device is perfect, theoretically and the leading electrical authorities of the country have been' devoting weeks to rendering its practical as well as accurate.

The device is a most intricate hit of -mechanism'; affected by a great many surrounding efforts are now being directed toward providing safeguards against the The efficacy of the depth charge against the submarine has been proved and H-boats have been destroyed by them, but the objection to the depth charge, is that the destroy ers must first find the submarine, The combination of the. new device and the depth charge, it is .believ* e <3. will materially reduce the number °f Germany’s submarines, and in the end rout them from the seas.
