London, Eng, Jan. 15.-English mu-

every IS hours more heavy gun ammu-

entire first year OF the war and the
production is increasing each week in
preparation for the great offensive on

tarv critics believe VIII come next

Dealing with guns, it is found that.
representing the number of guns man
ufactured during the first year of war
by 100, the number for the second year
would be S41 and for the third year
viii be about 1850. The manufacture
Of lighter pieces has had to be slack
ened, owing to the fact that the equip
ment Of the British army in light field
pieces is approximately complete and
it IS only necessary to provide for re-
placement.
The Improvement in the manufacture
OF machine guns, rifles. grenades and

tory.
