San Francisco, July 23.—The
lack of standards in weights
and measures among the Allies
gave Germany a great advant-
age in the waging of world-war
according to the message re-
ceived from prominent manu-
facturers of the United States
by the World Trude Club of San
Francisco. One of them, a large
manufacturer of material used
for making war munitions.
President F. O. Wells of the
Greenfield, Mass. Tap, Die,
Machine Tool company goes so
far as to declare that the Kaiser
would not have dared to declare
d with their allies in the vital
war if the United States and
Britannia had been stand anti*
ed with their allies in the vital
matter of weights and measures
The World Trade Club, re-
presting 500 leading San Fran
cisco manufacturing merchants
is promoting a campaign for the
world-wide adoption of meter-
liter-gram, the units of the
metric system of weights ant
measures, now in use by practi-
cally all nations of the world ex-
cept the United States and
Great Britain.
The campaign ha* brough'
many responses of support from
men like Wm. G. MeAdoo,'David
