MUNITION SALES BREAKING RECORD Nearly Quarter of Billion Dollars’ Worth of War Materials Have Poured Into Europe. Washington, Feb. 16. — American made war munitions now are pouring into Europe at the rate of «early two million dollars’ worth daily, with the figures swelling rapidly as production increases. For a long time after the war began shipments were negligible, and not until the middle of 1915 did the millions of dollars' worth of war materials contracted for begin to move in considerable quantities. Estimates made at the department of commerce today put total munitions shipments since Europe began to purchase for the present war close to a quarter of a billion dollars. At the arte shipments are going now the next four months would see this total doubled even if production remained at a standstill but production is declaerd to be growing faster now than at any time since American manufacturers began conversion of their plants into munitions factories. A great part of the munitions output has been in the form of high explosive sheHs, more than one hundred million dollars’ worth of which have left American shores. Powder comes next with shipments estimated at nearly one hundred millions, and small arm cartridges are third with $30,000,000. Fire arms are put at less thon $20,000,000 with small increases shipment was in January, 1915, when n>ore than $2,000,000 worth went to Europe. Graft, at the Princess tonight.
