The World Crazed With War

The Scientific American says: "To-day two thirds to three quarters of all the industries of the fighting nations are engaged in meeting the tremendous requirements of the battle line. Phonograph concerns are making shell parts, manufacturers of infants' food are making plugs for shells, watchmakers are adjusting fuses. In short, all kinds of industry are at work doing their part in the fighting line of industry." And the Scientific American might have added that in this neutral nation, as well as in other neutral countries, almost every kind of industry has had to take a back seat while factories have been running day and night making shells, fuses, and other war materials. This world is crazed with war madness.
