,,company ,,at ,,the ,,washington ,,square ,,press ,,philadelphia1 ,u4 ,s4 ,a4 ,,introduction--,,my ,,lithographs ,,of ,,war ,,work ,i have come back from the ,jaws of ,death--back from the ,mouth of ,hell--to my own land1 my own people4 ,i have never passed such an exciting year in my life--and beside1 ,i hope ,i have been able to accomplish something in my work which shall show one phase of the ,wonder of the ,world's ,work of to-day4 ,i was honoured a year ago by being permitted by the ,rt4 ,hon4 ,david ,lloyd ,george1 then ,minister of ,munitions in ,england1 to make drawings in the various factories and works and shipyards which were engaged in war work in that country--and the records of what ,i saw were published as lithographs of ,war ,work in ,england and in a previous volume in this series4 ,now1 though ,i do not believe in war1 ,i do not see why some pictorial record of what is being done to carry on the war should not be made--made from an artist's standpoint--for we are in it--being in the world--but ,i am not of it4 ,when my work--or as much of it as ,i was allowed to do--was finished and exhibited and published--,i was invited by the ,french ,minister of ,munitions1 ,m4 ,albert ,thomas1 to visit the front and make studies of similar subjects in ,france1 but--owing to a combination of unfortunate circumstances--though ,i went to ,france twice during the ,summer of this year1 ,i was unable to get anything of importance4 ,this was my fault1 or my misfortune--,i failed--and the memory of my failure will haunt me1 and be a cause of regret to me1 all my life--unless ,i am able to wipe out my failure--in another visit to ,france4 ,but though ,i failed to make any drawings--any records of the subjects ,i was so freely shown--,i was shown on my two visits many subjects1 which were supremely interesting1 could ,i have but drawn them--had ,i been able to do so they would have been worth doing4 ,not only was ,i taken to the front1 which was not the part ,i saw1 picturesque1 but ,i was also taken to see some of those parts of ,france which have been fought over1 some of the towns which have been destroyed1 some of the land which is desolate1 and ,i have also seen some of the ,french munition factories4 ,then ,i came home1 for ,i believe the place for an ,american at the present time is at home4 ,and on my arrival ,i was authorized to make records by our ,government similar to those ,i had made in ,england1 and had failed to make in ,france--what ,i have done in the ,united ,states is shown in this book4 ,i have had more opportunities of seeing what is being done in war work in ,england1 ,france and the ,united ,states than any one else--and in a fashion that no one else has been permitted to see4 ,i have seen war in the making4 ,yet ,i did not do these drawings with any idea of helping to win the war1 but because for years ,i have been at work--from my earliest drawings--trying to record ,the ,wonder of ,work1 and work never was so wonderful as it is to-day4 ,and never had any one such help--such aid1 such encouragement given him to record its wonder--and by the ,governments of the three great countries which are engaged in 8this incredibly horrible1 absolutely unnecessary war1 easily avoided war10 to quote a ,british ,statesman4 ,not only have ,i seen the ,wonder of ,work in these three lands--but before the war ,i saw it in ,belgium1 ,germany and ,italy4 ,i have drawn it everywhere1 save in ,luxembourg1 and there1 too1 ,i have seen it--but made no drawings--for it was so easy to get to that land--and so that country was put off for a more convenient season--a season ,i fear which will never come again4 ,i am not going to make comparisons--but ,i am going to say that the ,wonder of ,work is more wonderful in the ,united ,states than anywhere else in the world to-day4 ,true1 we are not working with that unbelievable energy which the ,french and ,english--yes1 the ,english--have put at last into their work--but we do so much more--with so much less--appearance of work--we are working for the ,allies--but they are not working for us4 ,and we are doing for them what they cannot do for themselves4 ,in ,europe the war worker works all day and every day in the year4 ,here most of the great industrial works have only added war work to their peace work1 in ,europe scarce anything else but war work is being done4 ,and also in ,america the women have not to any extent gone into the factories1 mills and shipyards of the country4 ,and ,i hope they never will4 ,i have never seen a woman shell maker here1 yet ,i know of factories in ,france and ,england where there are scarce any work people1 save women1 one where there are ten thousand women4 ,here they are only making fuses and doing other light work1 but ,i have not seen a woman at a lathe as ,i have seen them in ,france and ,england4 ,i have never seen a woman ship builder here--yet ,i have seen women in shipyards abroad doing work that men would have grumbled at when put to it--because it was thought hard work--before the war4 ,and ,i am glad that our women are not forced to undertake such work1 and hope they never may be1 for ,i have seen the black side of this work1 which already has led to strikes and labour troubles in ,europe--and when the war is over1 will lead to greater trouble--for the ,captains of ,industry in ,europe tell me that women run machines better than men--they devote themselves to the machine--never try to improve it--to make changes in it--only to keep it going and in good order1 while the man is always trying to improve it1 to make it do more1 so that he can do less4 8,stick matches in it10 one manager said--while the women just run the machines as they are shown how4 ,but making shells is more interesting than washing dishes1 or waving flags and marching in parades--and more exciting--but there will be an end to that some day2 and the lathes--which have been turned to war work--will be turned back to peace work--and the question is1 will the women go back to their dishes8--and if they do not there will be more trouble4 ,i have seen a women's strike--or a little of it--for with the manager who was showing me around1 ,i left at once4 ,it was not an orderly1 peaceful1 or womanly strike4 ,that shop was no place for me4 ,those women were not lady-like4 ,but just as the greatest human energy has been given to war work1 given to make things to explode1 to kill1 to destroy2 so the greatest machines have been turned to do this work with the greatest skill and accuracy and the greatest speed--the workers are but a necessary detail--and it is the working of the great machinery in the great mills which ,i find so inspiring--so impressive--for the mills are shrines of war4 ,the mills are the modern temples and in them do the people worship4 ,and if only the engines turned out were engines of peace--how much better would the world be--but everything made in a war factory is made to destroy and to be destroyed4 ,but one must not think of that1 for if one did the war would stop1 and not every one wants it to stop--or it would stop to-day--a universal demand for peace would make peace1--really would have prevented war4 ,but war work in ,america is the most wonderful work in the world and that is the reason why ,i have drawn some of the work ,i have seen--seen in these endless looms of time--where history is being woven4 ,the attitude of the workman toward the artist is curious2 in ,france he understands1 in ,england he looks down on you as a poor thing who has to work--in ,america you are regarded as a fellow workman1 as an artist is6 ,i want to thank the ,secretaries of the ,navy and of ,war1 ,messrs4 ,daniels and ,baker1 ,mr4 ,creel and the other members of the ,board and staff of the ,committee on ,public ,information1 and the various heads of the various sub-departments of the ,army and ,navy1 who stood my pestering and querying and obtained for me permission to visit every industrial establishment ,i wanted4 ,in every plant1 camp1 yard1 works1 field1 which ,i wanted to work in--,i was taken to1 and treated with courtesy4 ,i should like to thank and mention by name the various officials1 government and civilian1 who gave me every facility to see and to draw everything ,i wished in the ,war ,works they directed--but we are at war--and ,i am not permitted to say where these drawings were made1 and if ,i mentioned the names of some of the directors of these works the places in which ,i made the drawings would be known4 ,as it is1 ,i imagine many of them are pretty well known already4 ,finally ,i wish to thank my life-long friend1 ,dr4 ,f4 ,p4 ,keppel--who suggested1 directed1 arranged1 calmed down and cheered up all those with whom ,i was brought in most interesting contact4 ,he knows what he did and ,i know--and ,i shall not forget4 ,,philadelphia1

grew as it did here1 amid its forests1 its walls--which it1 in turn1 would soon tower over4 ,illustration ,,ii ,,under ,,the ,,shed ,it seemed as though this yard was built for me1 and if it was not that ,i found it so practical1 ,i should have thought it only pictorial4 ,but in the shed in rows1 in piles1 in layers1 lay every part of the ship ready to fit together--all in order4 ,as ,i drew1 boats and boilers came out of the shop and went to their places on board4 ,illustration ,,iii ,,the ,,armor ,,plate ,,press ,the ,english maker rolls rapidly his armor plate in heat and smoke and flame4 ,the ,american slowly presses it1 but with a press so powerful it will crush the huge ingot--so sensitive that it will not crack a watch crystal placed under it4 ,illustration ,,iv ,,in ,,the ,,land ,,of ,,brobdignag3 ,,the ,,armor ,,plate ,,bending ,,press ,only ,swift never imagined1 and ,gulliver never saw1 presses and ladles and chains and cranes like these1 but ,i have seen them1 and there is no imagination in my study of the press or the ladle4 ,a press so powerful it will slowly bend the thickest plate4 ,a ladle so big the men were lost in it4 ,illustration ,v ,,building ,,the ,,battle ,,ship ,inside the huge shed where she was built and launched she lay getting her finishing touches--or rather those that could be given her1 for her masts were too big to finish1 her turrets were being fitted and her turbines put in--and soon she would begin her life of terror and horror4 ,illustration ,,vi ,,making ,a ,,turbine ,,engine ,this is the finest shop1 in which the most impressive work of modern times is done and it is 8somewhere in ,america02 and as ,i worked away after five1 one man said--8,wot's yer hours1 mate80 ,illustration ,,vii ,,making ,,propeller ,,blades ,blue in the shadows and such blue--gold in the lights and such gold--were those blades--in this great shop--and as ,i worked the engine steamed in and carried one of the propellers off1 to fit in the ship1 standing in the dock just outside4 ,illustration ,,viii ,,the ,,prow 8,very pretty drawing10 said the officer when ,i showed him this leering1 staring1 slobbering monster1 the spirit of war1 a creation of our time and our country4 ,it is fascinating but intolerable4 ,illustration ,,ix ,,ready ,,to ,,start ,dignified1 solemn1 immense she stood1 held to the long dock by the great cables2 and the great cranes swung great carloads of war work aboard her1 as fast as the engines could bring them4 ,on land she was guarded by marines4 ,in the air the ,planes were guarding her4 ,illustration ,x ,,the ,,collier ,this is a ,freighter and ,collier and the huge erections on its decks are cranes and derricks1 by which other ships are coaled and loaded at sea4 ,the system is not new1 but ,i imagine many landsmen1 like myself1 till ,i drew it1 had never seen such a creature4 ,illustration ,,xi ,,building ,,submarine ,,chasers ,all round the big ship the little boats gathered--being built out of doors1 anywhere near the water1 into which the crane swings them as soon as they are ready4 ,it is like this they are being built all over the country4 ,illustration ,,xii ,,building ,,destroyers4 ,,no4 ,,one ,amid the great ways1 the little destroyers are built4 ,while the work of building is going on1 there seem to be no workmen about--though the noise they make is terrible4 ,the various parts of the ships lie about apparently in confusion1 but the crane knows what it wants and where to find it1 and picks it up and carries it to its proper place4 ,it is only when the men knock off that you see what an army is engaged in shipbuilding4 ,and it was too funny to be told as ,i went about--,i must not smoke--yet hundreds of drills and riveters were shedding showers of sparks and there is nothing but iron to be seen4 ,illustration ,,xiii ,,building ,,destroyers4 ,,no4 ,,two ,how the cranes minister to the ships1 carrying them the things they want1 lowering them gently into the places where they belong and then hovering over the vessels they are building to see that everything is in its proper place--the cranes do it all--the men who run them are mere details4 ,illustration ,,xiv ,,in ,,the ,,dry ,,dock ,these are the things that tower--that shine--whose power is terrible--but their smile does not make glad4 ,the admiral said he could not see the ship like that--8,don't you wish you could80 was the only answer ,i could think of4 ,illustration ,,xv ,,the ,,old ,,and ,,the ,,new ,whether the old wooden ship is finer in line than the new steel monster is more than ,i can decide1 but ,i do know that both are well worth drawing4 ,illustration ,,xvi ,,submarines ,,in ,,dry ,,dock ,there they lay in long lines--soon to be ready to start on their venturesome voyages4 ,illustration ,,xvii ,,the ,,transports ,the spoils of war1 for what had been great traders were now to be great troop ships--and with their transformation what an awful change has come to our world4 ,illustration ,,xviii ,,ready ,,for ,,service ,,again ,just as retired ,officers have offered their services again to the ,country--so these old ,ships1 even more pictorial than the new1 are being found places where they can do their 8bit40 ,illustration ,,xix ,,the ,,balloon ,,shed ,i only know of this one 8balloon shed0 in the country--probably in design it is out of date--but pictorially it is fine4 ,illustration ,,xx ,,the ,,larks 8,hark1 ,hark the ,lark10 this one sings a song too1 all his own1 as he soars up to greet the coming sun1 then away to battle or to train for it4 ,our ,lark4 ,illustration ,,xxi ,,making ,,rifles ,gallery after gallery is like this in the great building1 all filled with tiny men working at tiny machines making the tiny guns they fight with2 and over them hangs the flag of the country1 put there1 the director told me--not by the management--but by the men4 ,illustration ,,xxii ,,the ,,forges ,how fine are the forges--but one man said as ,i drew the figure leaning back to rest--8,hully gee6 ,he's got ,creeper all right4 ,look at his pants60 ,but the noise is awful--and one day as ,i sat on a bit of boiler a roar ten times worse than ever before broke out beneath me and ,i jumped right off1 and from the boiler crawled a grimy human who1 putting his hand to his mouth1 yelled 8,what yer making all that racket fur80 ,illustration ,,xxiii ,,casting ,,shells ,slowly the ladle moves1 carried by the crane man1 steered by the workmen1 goggled and gloved--,i had no time to draw those details4 ,into each mould it dropped just enough molten metal to make a shell head4 ,and when all the moulds were filled1 a man from another shop dropped in--8,say1 what youse up to now80 8,me--,i'm makin' shells for the ,kaiser40 8,what6 an' here80 8,sure0--and as a ,french ,inspector passed--8,ain't we sending 'em to him as quick as we kin80 ,illustration ,,xxiv ,,forging ,,shells3 ,,the ,,slaves ,,of ,,the ,,wheel ,no composition could be finer1 no movement more expressive1 no grouping more perfect1 and yet all this was happening every day and all day in an oily1 dirty1 greasy1 smoky shell factory where no artist had ever worked before and the workmen1 black men1 were turning the big shell1 under the big hammer1 by the big capstan wheel that held it1 and ,i noted in the shop that the black men saw more in my drawings than the white1 yet there's only one black painter in the country4 ,illustration ,,xxv ,,the ,,white ,,and ,,the ,,black ,,hammers ,the biggest hammer in the world1 said the foreman1 maybe--any way the ,shop was amongst the most pictorial of all those ,i have drawn devoted to shell making4 8,say1 friend10 said the workman1 8won't they let yer use a machine1 in war time1 is that why youse does it by hand80 ,illustration ,,xxvi ,,shell ,,factory ,,no4 ,,two3 ,,from ,,shop ,,to ,,shop ,the contrast between the dark old shop and bright new one was wonderful4 8,pretty good1 ,dad10 said a precocious apprentice4 ,i suppose they don't mean anything but compliments1 still ,i never fail to lose my temper1 then the peace maker appears--8,don't mind that kid1 mate1 he dunno no better1 he's edurkated40 8,say1 wot paper's it comin' out in--,i'll buy that paper40 ,that was a compliment4 ,illustration ,,xxvii ,,shaping ,a ,,gun ,,from ,,an ,,ingot ,when the ingot comes from the furnace1 it is put in this press1 deep buried in a pit1 and the hot metal is compressed into the shape of a section of a great ,gun--then it is taken out and bored and planed and finally1 after about a year of work1 the gun is ready to do its work4 ,illustration ,,xxviii ,,the ,,gun ,,pit4 ,,no4 ,,one ,these ,pits which ,i have drawn in ,europe and ,america have the greatest individuality of all the processes of war industry4 ,the buildings are most impressive1 towering1 windowless1 sombre without1 very spacious within1 filled with strong shadows and strange shapes4 ,and as ,i looked out from the blackness to the ore crane1 making new ranges of ,alps on its hillside1 ,i wanted a gun--or rather wanted to know how it was moved4 8,why1 bring him one10 said the manager--and it came and posed while ,i drew1 and was such a good sitter4 ,and so ,i find my studio and my models wherever ,i work4 ,illustration ,,xxix ,,the ,,gun ,,pit4 ,,no4 ,,two ,no better proof could be shown of the way each big plant puts big character into its products than this and the previous drawing4 ,here everything is done deep down under ground2 in the other shop it is all above1 away up high in the air4 ,and one day1 they told me1 the ,president of the ,company passed with a party--and he saw a man1 tired out1 sitting with his head in his hands4 8,why don't you clean out the pit1 boy80 8,well1 ,sammie1 if you want to know why1 you go down an' find out for yourself40 ,illustration ,,xxx ,,the ,,gun ,,factory ,so like a ,british one1 that ,i wonder which one got the idea of arrangement of the ,shop from the other4 ,here the guns are turned2 and one man said to me3 8,well1 ,i don't know whether ,i'll be drafted by the ,u4 ,s4--but ,i do know1 ,i'd sooner waste my time makin' guns1 than spend it havin' 'em shot at me by some ,dutchman40 ,illustration ,,xxxi ,,the ,,biggest ,,lathe ,,in ,,the ,,world ,many of the subjects ,i have chosen are probably the 8biggest in the world0 and the most impressive1 too--that is the reason why ,i have drawn them4 ,i have seen great lathes and great guns in ,europe1 but this one is certainly greater than any other4 8,you couldn't do that1 ,fatty10 said the man4 8,couldn't ,i10 said the other4 8,you bet ,i could if ,i had been drawin' lathes as long as him60 ,it was the second one ,i have drawn4 ,illustration ,,xxxii ,,the ,,gun ,,testing ,,ground ,into the rocky cliff great holes had been bored1 and into them the ,guns mounted on their carriages1 by the great gantry1 were fired1 passing through wires hung from screens1 to test their velocity4 ,one thing that interested me1 standing behind the guns--interested me too much1 really--was1 that there was no smoke1 save that which came out of the hole where the shells exploded4 ,and another fact was1 that ,i could not see the shell in its flight--nor can those at whom it is fired--it goes so fast the sound cannot keep up with it4 ,sight cannot follow it4 ,illustration ,,xxxiii ,,the ,,riveters ,what perpendicular cathedral is as full of mystery as this shop4 ,i know of none and ,i know most of them1 and when the fires glow on the work altar1 and the great jaws pierce and rivet the boiler plates1 then is heard the ,hymn of ,work4 ,illustration ,,xxxiv ,,building ,,engines ,,for ,,the ,,allies ,in serried lines they stood--first one for ,russia--then one for ,france--and on the other side several for ourselves--and ,i said1 8,why1 this is ,ford's idea60 for the parts came in at the sides of the shop and the finished engine steamed out at the end4 8,oh1 yes60 said the manager1 8only we have been doing it twenty years10 and now they build a locomotive in four days4 ,illustration ,,xxxv ,,the ,,flying ,,locomotive ,yes1 locomotives can soar--can fly--and1 like ,mahomet's coffin1 stand in the air2 and they do these things in a blaze of glory--because the shop where they are built is not big enough to shift them about in any other way4 ,as the engine sailed toward me ,i tried to make a note of it4 8,why would you like to draw it80 said the manager1 as ,i frantically went on making notes of the approaching monster4 8,which end would you like up80 ,he made a signal1 they don't talk in these shops1 it stopped and there it hung4 8,bring on another10 signalled the manager--and so ,i drew and so the creature posed till ,i had finished--an excellent model in a wonderful studio4 ,illustration ,,xxxvi ,,the ,,camp3 ,,the ,,new ,,architecture ,in the centre of the new city is something like a long train of box cars--yet when you see their sides you find they are houses4 ,as you look they grow--and from a few holes in the ground till the building is finished takes about forty-five minutes1 the architects tell me4 ,they are better built than the ,english ,munition towns--they are unbelievable--these ,cities of fifty thousand inhabitants built while the army was formed4 ,this drawing is but a bit of one of them--to right and to left and behind the town stretched--the embodiment of usefulness1 respectability--a triumph of ugliness and energy4 ,illustration
