THE GRIESCHEIM EXPLOSION
(Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, December 11 Tho Greischeim Elektron factory supplied two powder works, including that at Rotliweil, one of the most important in Germany. Other works at Griescheim included a factory, which produced electrolytic hydrogen for inflating Zeppelins, .asphyxiating gas and lachrymatory and poisonous shells, for which it svas tho greatest centre in Germany. The output of poison gas in 2DIG was 600,000 cubic feet ger day. The deaths of scores cf trained workmen, who were specialists, has increased the difficulties of coping with the deficit of articles manufactured at Griescheim, on which every concern in Germany was more or less dependent. It is impossible to reconstitute the work 3 during the war period, nnd the effect will sooner or later be felt at the fighting fronfc.
