Canada's War Orders

Munition orders placed in Canada
since tho outbreak Of the war, accord
ing to "The Monetary Times" amount
to $3.50, 100000. An order for munitions
to the value Of $50 900, 900 has Just been
received and contracts to that amount
are to be placed. Since the first Of the
year orders have been placed amount
ing In value to Sls5,O0o.0O0.
These figures have been announced by
the imperial munitions board. During
the months Of July and August the out
put from Canadian industries was In
terrupted by reason of the difficulty ex-
perienced in procuring the necessary
steel and forgings. Due to the efforts
put forth by manufacturers, the output
on most contracts is more satisfactory
