PROMINEN'I‘ British official has credited the Du Pont Company of Wilmington"?
with saving the British empire, for Great Britain itself was unable when war broke l
to furnish the tremendous amounts of ammunition required to hold the German f '
armies in check. France and Russia had their hands full and the Du Ponts alone wer'sl,
