It is the policy of England to fill every workshop in her tight little
island before she permits business to overflow.

To-day there are no unemployed in Great Britain, except in the cotton
districts dependent upon German trade. Wage advances and overtime are
the rule rather than the exception. The one country that the warring
world must turn to for supplies is the United States, and that in
increasing measure. Orders for $300,000,000 of war goods already
received must be duplicated several times.

Every American automobile manufacturer able to deliver motor-trucks in
lots of one hundred, has received his orders for shipments to the
Allies.

Germany has now no base from which to get many important supplies. In
a long contest the Allies will supply motor-cars, shells, guns, and
ammunition to a far greater extent than Germany can manufacture them.
Factories for this work are expanding in both Russia and America. The
English do not speak against the Germans as a people. They believe
them seriously misled by Prussian militarism, which they declare must
be crushed absolutely.

Where formerly England was an open door to Germans and suspicions
against German spies were laughed at, the bars are now sharply up.
Most of the golfing clubs have voted to suspend the activities of
members with German antecedents.

At the clubs in Pall Mall, notices have been posted requesting members
not to introduce during the war Germans or those of German descent.
