J. 5. INFANTRYMEN
 CARRY MORE SHOTS
 THAN HUN SOLDIERS

The American infantryman in France carries 100 more rounds of rifle am intuition on his person than does the German soldier.
 The American carries 220 rounds and carries it with ease in the 10 poe kets of his light canvas web belt and his two bandoleers. The German sol dier has only 12O rounds in his knap- sack, a weak feature, since he must lose valuable time in securing it at a critical moment.
 American Web Belt Superior
 American web belts are immeasur- ably superior tc the German leather bandoleers. They are not affected by prolonged rains, nor tOrrid weather. They are serviceable and efficient in any temperature.
 The manufacturer of web ammuni- ton belts is one of the most intricate operations in the textile field. United States army belts are made almost en- tirely of cotton which is waterproof and will stand almcst any amount of moisture and will not shrink or stretch.
 The British equipment is of web. Few realize that this is one reason why, with inferior numbers. they have, time and again, beaten off the enemy. This was demonstrated in the early days of the war, particularly in the retreat from Mons. The large number of cartridges carried by the British soldier, coupled with the cheap cotton supplementary bandoleer system oi renewing his supply of ammunition, has served to counterbalance the enor- nous superiority of German troops in point of numbers on many occas- ions.
 Weiqht Is 12 Pounds
 The exact weight of the 220 rounds carried by the American soldier in France is 12 pounds. With the Spring field rifle 23 aimed shots can be fired per minute. Firing from the hip magazine fire without aim) 40 shots can be fired per minute The new United States model 1917 (modified Elnfield) does even better.
 Firing point blank into German waves as our troops have done near Amiens, pumping l2 shots a minute. which any average shot can do when aiming at a large mark, an infantry mans ammunition is exhausted in IS minutes. Assuming that the rapidity of fire of the German rifle is equal to that of the American rifle, which it
 5 net, the American infantryman, be- cause of his web equipment, is better by 8 minutes and by 100 rounds than the German infantryman.

charges of lax moral conditions among
the soldiers of the American expedi-

called to the scathing indictment of
alleged conditions among the men of
the American expedition issued by the
board of temperance and public morals
