NEW'YORK, Aug 27.-Canada is turning out about 65,000 shells a week, according to a director of one of the companies engaged in manufacture of war supplies in the Dominion. Those shells are not fully complet- ed, lacking the tinio fuse and the ex- plosive. The time fuse is made ei- ther in the United States or England. usually the latter. The explosive for the most part is put in the shell in England. 'i‘he principal paris of the shell be- ing made in Canada are the brass cartridge case, the steel projectile and--the--shrapnel. bu_llets.» So far Canada has made only the "$.29" _ British slirapnol shell-the eighteen pounder-is another state- ment of the director referred to. Plans new are being made for making high explosive shells in the Dominion and it is believed work will be started thereon shortly. Every effort is being put forth to -bring the total of shrapnel and high explosive shells in Canada io far larger proportions. Gen. Bertram, Chairmanfof the Shell Committee ap- pointed by the Government to super- intend manufacture of war supplies, recently said the output will be brought to 40,000 to 50.000 shells a day. Orders for shrapnel placed with Canadian manitfacturers aggregate about 9,000,000 shells. Canada has been handicapped by lack of facilities for shell-making to a. greater degree' than the United States_,_bccause of the absence of big machlnetool m_iinufacturers and ma- chine shop _equipment. When the war started there was only one_plant for the manufacture of shells in Canada, and it had a capa- city of. (75 shells a day. Ai: present there are almost 200 companies mak- ing war supplies there. A GERMAN RESERVIST ARRESTED ON ESPIONAGE CHARGE. NEW YORK.
