GREAT increase IN
MUNITIONS FOR us.
Reports Show That Govern
ment Can Secure
Ample Supply
SAY RUSH HAS
NO SIGNIFICANCE

WASHINGTON. Sept 1O.-Govern-
ment arsenals are today working at
full time and turning out moro am
munition than in ordinary times. This
became known here today, although it
was announced that the rush had no
significance other than precdution
made necessary by a situation that
might develop
The capacity Of the United States
for turning out munitions OF war,
arms, supplies Of all kinds; powder
ammunition, etc, has been increased
since the European war uegan In a
measure that If il could be accurate
ly stated. would astonish the world.
and perhaps most Of all the American
people Just one item in the long
list Of necessaries OF war will sug-
gest, by a comparison of antebollum
with present capacities. the wonderful
advance that has been made
The statement is made BY the gov
ernment authorities in charge Of main
tanning our government supplies of
these things, that at the beginning OF
the war in Europe the capacity for
turning out small arms ammunition
the most important OF all-was proba-
bly, lo,000,000 rounds a week. That.
however. was cut in half by the inn
possibility Of getting powder enough
to load the shells. With the powder.
the 100000 figure could have been
touched; but there wasn't powder
for more than half that NUMBER
Today, according TO the best auth
ority, which is in close touch with
conditions in both government and
private establishments. there are FIVE
big plants turning out small arms
ammunition, and all of them hold biz
contracts or orders. They could. II
is declared. turn out 10000 rounds
each per day; that is, 10000 900
rounds a week for the FIVE plants in
stead OF 100000 before the war.
