Mr. Warburton is happy over some successful gun running. Word that war was inevitable reached him in Parie, July 28, from the Russians, who ordered him to rush all the stock he had no hand. His guns, light mitrailleuses weighing twenty-five pounds and used in aeroplanes, were in Birmingham. He brought them to London by motor truck and packed them in steamer trunks, on which were painted different initials, coronets and names of cities. His mechanicians claimed these trunks and in bond had them conveyed ely across Germany into Russia on the last Nord express. A day jlroad tracks leading into Germany were deserted, but the guns, were safely in Russia.
That was the last lot of Lewis guns to leave England, where the factory is now supplying them only to the British War Office.
