Abstract
SHORTLY before the war broke out there was some correspondence, in NATURE and elsewhere, with reference to the pay offered to chemists in advertisements of the Research Department of Woolwich Arsenal. Exception was taken to the offer of little more than 100l. a year to men who were supposed to have received training rendering them competent to undertake research work. As a result, I believe, the Department was led to attach a rate of pay to the posts not quite so inadequate as that first proposed.
