More Small Arms for
Expeditionary Forces;
Production Cost Drops.

German timidity before American
pistol fighters armed with American
As caliber automatic pistols has
brought about change in the equip
ment of the American Expeditionary
Forces by the War Department, and
the Ordnance Department is rushing
production of these weapons. About
5000 are turned out daily and pro-
duction is increasing. The impress
sion exists that a shot from an Am
erican As takes man out of action
completely Men hit from the small
err German pistols frequently continue
in action effectively. The As caliber
was adopted by the United States
Army in 1911.
Despite the heavy increased demand
for these pistols the ammunition
branch of the Ordnance Department
has effected a saving during the past
two calendar months of nearly $1,000
600 mostly on small arms ammunition,
such as AS caliber ball cartridges, 80
shells, and on clips and bandoleers.

Department for these two months

Much Wool Will be
Demanded for
Use for Army.

Coming requirements OF the Army
for wool look large. Besides cloth
ing for the soldiers in France and at
home a reserve must be accumulated
sufficient to take care of any emer-
gency.
There are large stocks of nlanufac-
tured clothing and cloth on hand ade-
quate for essential civilian needs, but
wooden suits will not be cheap or
plentiful during the coming winter
season.
Wool stocks from abroad to sup
plement the domestic supply is re-
stricted by shipping conditions. The
Shipping Board states the movement
of Argentine wool will be heavier the
coming year than in any preceding
year. But large portion of the raw
wool stock in this country and stock
to be produced or imported to jan
uary, 1920, will be needed for military
uses.
The war service committee of the
National Association of Wooden Man
ufacturers and the American Associa-
ton OF Wooden and Worsted Manu-
facturers conferred with the War In
dustries Board and representatives
from the Shipping Board, War Trade
Board, and Army and Navy over diff
culties in the wool supply situation.
The policy of the War Industries
Board is to regulate prices and dis
tribution when scarcity arises due
to Government demands.
Nearly 100000 girls and boys have
volunteered for the, United States
Garden Army in the Department of
the Interior. Their service flag bears
