VAN 1fsN oT AMMUNITIoN.

"In order to meet this deficit our army
depends for ammunition on the Frankford
Arsenal The arsenal, the only one In the
country fitted to make field ammunition,
turned out, in 1918, 36lS4 shells, averaging
three-inch size, about enough to last 10
minutes in an up-to-date conflict. BY
running three shifts daily in 1914 the total
was run up to 102,s1s, which might, if
used carefully, last an hour.
"1n the retreat from Belgium In the
beginning OF the present war the French
fired approximately 100000 three-inch
shells in seven days. Their famous To-
mlimeter gun fires 75 times a minute
Each time a shell Is fired the work Of one
workman engaged eight hours daily for
nve days is dlssipated in the explosion.
THAT Is why we ask the nation Sc
riously to look the situation squarely in
the face to learn the truth and to put a
stop to the criminal indifference of our
people to our vital danger"
