England is producing 60,000 pairs of boots for soldiers' wear every day—more than could have been produced in a week before the war. An order for 500,000 pairs for Serbia is in hand, in addition to a French order, while Italy also is said to be in the market for army footwear. Underwear, gloves and other articles, made by Japanese manufacturers, soon will be seen in London shops, to take the place of certain German specialties. A firm of London warehousemen sent a special representative to the chief textile manufacturing centers of Japan with power to buy on a large scale in time for the winter season. The goods, it is said, compare favorably as regards quality, appearance and price with anything produced by the Germans.
