Abstract
INTER-ALLIED co-operation in chemistry, of which a brief notice appeared in NATURE for April 24, should be of interest to all men of science, for what is true of chemistry is very largely true of all branches of science. Men of genius have developed in all countries, and of the really important scientific discoveries the Allies have contributed at least their due proportion, if not more. But the total volume of scientific work turned out by Germany during the last fifty years has been immense, and in the application of scientific discoveries to chemical manufactures the Germans have been easily first. Moreover, in the laborious and useful work of abstracting, indexing, and publishing, the Germans have displayed their usual methodical industry; and they have not by any means under-estimated their achievements, or neglected to give them world-wide advertisement.
