day showing the relative amounts
expended in 1915, when the coun-
try was at peace, and to be ex-
pended this year.

in 1915 was supplied at the mod
est cost of s9,S00,000, this year
has been provided for in the ap-
preparation estimates $133, 100000
Clothing and camp garrison
oquipage, which two years ago
were had for S6,5O0,000, will cost
this year 1921, 100000.
Ordinance stores and supplies
which were furnished for only
$500, 1000, this year will cost more
than S106, 100000.
Transportation, which in 1915
was furnished at $13, 100000 this
year will cost S22,000,000.
Manufacture of arms, which in

cost more than $4,000, 900.

cost $11O, 100000.
For aeronautics, $450,00O was
appropriated in 1915, while s47,.
100000 already has been appro-
priated for this year. This does
not include, of course, the ad.
