AMERICAN EXPLOSIVES AMMUNITION AND OAS USED IN GREAT WAR

When was was declared the United States had sufficient light artillery to equip an army of 500,000 men, and shortly found itself confronted with the problem of preparing to equip 5,000.000 men. To meet the situation it was decided in June, 1917. to allot our guns to training .purposes and to equip our forces in France with artillery conforming to the French and British standard calibers. It was arranged that we should purchase from the French and British the artillery needed for our first divisions and ship them .in return equivalent amounts of steel, copper, and other raw materials so that they could either manufacture guns for us in their own factories or give us guns out of their stocks and replace them by pew ones made from our materials. America Produces Gun. Up to the end of April, 1919, the number of complete artillery units produced in American plants was more than 3,000 or equal to all those purchased from the French and British during the war. The number of rounds of complete artillery ammunition produced in American plants was in excess of 20.000.000, as compared with 9,000,000 rounds secured from the French and British. In the first 20 months after the

declaration of war by each country the British did better than we in the production of light artillery, and we excelled them in producing heavy artillery and both light and heavy ammunition. Use American Powder. So far as the allies were concerned, the European war was in large measure fought with American powder and high explosives. 1, At the end of the war American pror r' duction of smokeless powder was 45 percent greater than the French and British production combined. At the end of the war the American production of high explosives was 40 percent greater than Great Britain's and nearly double that of France. Sell Gas to Allies. During the war America produced 10,000 tons of gas, much of which was sold to the French and British. Out. i f every 100 days that our combat divisions were in line in France they were supported by their own artillery for 75 days, by British artillery for five days, and by French for one nnd a half days. Of the remaining eighteen and a half days that they were in line without artillery, eighteen days were in quiet sectors, and one-half of one day in each hundred was in active sectors. In round numbers, we had in France '3,500 pieces of artillery, of which nearly 500 were made in America, and we used on the firing line 2,250 pieces, of which over 100 were made l in America.

Few Valuable Ideas Obtained by Study of U-Boats, Say Experts

MARKETS OF NEAR EASTERN COUNTRIES 1 OPENED TO UNITED STATES BY WORLD WAR:

America Enlists 4,800,000 Men In War With Germany; Twice Civil War Strength The number of men serving in the armed forces of the nation during the war was 4.800,000, of whom 4,000,000 served in the army. In the war with Germany the United States raised twice as many men as did the northern states in the civil war, but only half as many in proportion to the population. The British sent more men to France in their first year of war than we did in our first year, but it took Kngland three years to reach a strength of 2,000.000 men in France, and the United States accomplished it in one-half of that time. Of every 100 men who served, 10 were national guardsmen, 13 were reg

ulars, and 77 were in the national army (or would have been if the services lrad not been consolidated.) Almost Half Register. Of the 54.000,000 males in the population. 26.000,000 were registerpd in the draft or were already in service. In the physical examinations the states of the middle west made the best showing. Country boys did bettor than city boys; whiles better than colored: and native born better than foreign born. In this war twioo as many men were recruited as in the civil war and at ..no-twentieth of the recruiting cost. There wprc 200,000 army officers. Of everv six officers, one had previous military training with troops, three wore graduates of officers' training i-amps. and two came directly from civil life.

Examination of the surface vessels surrendered by Germany and brought to the United States recently is now in progress. Other German vessels of all classes had been previously inspected carefully by American officers abroad and officials at the department declared that they did not expect the inspection of the cruiser Ostriesland and the destroyers alloted to this country to develop any important new construction methods in the American navy. In one respect the German ships won the praise of many officers at the department. This was the use of solid water-tight bulkheads between subdivisions of the hulls below decks. No doors for communication below were found in the German ships, the members of the crew being forced to so "up and over" to move from one compartment to another. It was this construction that kept German vessels in the fight at the Battle of Jutland after they had been punished severely by British fire, officers said. The idea has been advoDetailed examination of surrendered German U-boats built during the war has produced nothing to forecast important changes in American submarines, officers at the navy department assert. After careful study of the German craft and a thorough test in the long cruise across the Atlantic, American experts have found only a few unimportant details worthy of incorporating in new American undersea craft. In periscopes and optical fittings the German boats were superior to prewar American submersibles, it was admitted. Periscopes on new navy submarines, however, are superior to the best similar fittings found on the captured vessels, it was said. The engine equipment of the German boats was praised by American officers, but it was declared that the mechanical parts of the enemy craft were in no respect superior to those already in use in the United tSates navy. In many, -points, particularly that of mechanical simplicity, roominess and comfort for the crew, the American boats are regarded as superior to the German craft, cated by a school of American naval officers for years, and has been adopted in the newer vessels to the extent of placing solid bulkheads between firerooms. Opponents of the solid bulkhead theory declare ease and rapidity of communication below decks to be more valuable than elaborate precautions to prevent the passage of water from one compartment to another in the event of hits below the waterline. A feature of the German ships that somewhat surprised American officers was the lack of provisions for the comfort of the crews.' Officers' quarters were found to be about on a par with those in the American navy, but little attention has been paid to the enlisted men. The larger ships had cooking accommodations for but a small part of the battle crew, it was said, and it was believed that the ships

were constructed on the theory that any engagement they participated in would be within a short distance of the home part, probably in the North Sea, as the bunk capacities were very limited. During periods of inaction the men were housed ashore in barracks, and during periods at sea of any duration they were poorly supplied with hot food. Contrasted with the elaborate galleys and bakeries on American ships, with provisions for long cruises at sea away from supply bases, the German ciait were primitive, it was said. The final disposition to be made of the German vessels has not been decidedThey either will be broken up ai navy yards or used as targets for the fleets.

Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON

. t . PROMPTNESS I wpnt to James Augustus Jones, dnd from him borrowed fifteen bones, the which 1 needed sore, for all my aunts were sick in bed, my divers children cried for bread, as they ne'er cried before. I said to Jones, "November 8 you'll see me waddle to your gate, to pay you every red ; ' November S, at half-past 10, I'll pull your latchstring once again, or you may know I'm dead." And Jones, he heaved a sickly smile, for he was wise to human guile, to premises that fail; and doubtless in his soul he sighed, "I'm stung again, dingbust my hide! 1'il never see the kale!" November 8 dawned bright and fair, a hint of frost was in the air, the wind was east by west; and to the residence of Jones I tooled my worn and aching bones, the boodle in my vest. The clock was striking half-past 10 when I produced the iron men, and paid him every bean; and after one astonished yell, poor Jones, he had a fainting spell, with spasms in between. His senses once again restored. "My faith in human men," he roared, "you've surely bolstered up; my jaded soul you've filled with peace, and you may wed my fattest niece, and use .my pointer pup." And Jones has given me renown in all the byways of the town as one who keeps his word, and wheresoever I may go, the people say that I'm a jo, a looloo and a bird.

The rapidly increasing importance!

or tne wear jwast as a ractor m world trade calls for a thorough consideration of that field by American foreign traders. if thi3 country is to share in developing the enormous resources of the Near Eastern countries, according to the current Issue of "American Goods and Foreign Markets." The future possibilities of trade with the Near East are of vast proportions, the bulletin says. Merchants there are ready to put in lines of American goods, rail and water transportation has been improved, and financial facilities for the handling of American business have become available. Before the war merchandise from the United' Staes was a negligible factor in the business life of Constantinople, and a vessel flying the Stars and Stripes was a rare sight. Today American liners are in the Golden Horn at all times, besides steamers which make monthly Mops on their way to and from Batoum and tramp steamers which make irregular visits. A dozen important American corporations already have established permanent offices in Constantinople, and many other concerns arc represented by local agents. It cannot be too s'rong'y emphasized that if the United States is to obtain her share of th3 growing trade In the Near East. sh must establish herself in that part of the world now while the opportunity is available. A large number of British traders are already on th? ground, and no effort is beins; spared o strengthen th? Kingdom's trade position. There are

British military forces in many citi s, messengers of peace and security for i those oppressed communities, which; are building up a strong pro-British ! sentiment, and which assuredly will j exert an important influence in favor j of British trade. Also, it must not be: overlooked that Germany will make I strong efforts to regain he r former i trade in these counties as soon as she i is equipped to expand. The harbor of Constantinople gives! that city pre-eminence as a center of ; water transportation in the Near East.i

Local industries are few and unimportant, and the railroad which connects the city with the interior of Europe and the Anatolian railway which terminates at Haidar Pacha never have been extensive freight carriers, but the constant stream of ships of all nations passing in and out of the Constantinople harbor makes the city the logical clearing house for Near Eastern markets.

ONWARD LABOR DRIVE STARTED IN RICHMOND

An "Onward Labor Campaign" will be started in Richmond by the Central Labor Council on Nov. 17 under the direction of Frank Irwin, president of the council, in direct co-operation with the State Federation of Labor. The campaign will be an organized drive to secure members and strengthen all local unions and crafts, according to Mr. Irwin. The work of the campaign probably will last about two or three months, during which time speakers of note among labor leaders will be secured to talk to the men of the city. At the Central Labor Council meeting Nov. 17 committees will be appointed to take care of the work of the campaign.
