AlIe army Urunnn~e department. mus
negotiated approximately $4,000 con-
tracts since this country entered the
war, involving within $175,OOO,O00 Of
the total funds directly available for
the department for the present fiscal
years., ,3S3, ,2s6.O45 Additional con-
tracts totalfng 81 ,5O3, ,703, TAI have been
entered into son the authority, of con-
gress pending appropriation Of an
amount aggregating $1,671 ,46675O.
The magnitude of the task Of the
ordnance department financially is evil
denced by the disbursement recently in
a single day of more than $25, ,000, 900
: on ordinary contract vouchers. Dis
bursements for the month: of April,
1918, ran to 1856, ,SS4 1853, an interesting
amount as compared with the $685.
264 disbursed byTthe Ordnance depart
ment in April, 1917. These disburse-
ments were made at the ordnance Of
fee in Washington. Amounts dis
bursed at government arsenals are not
included.
One check recently drawn by the ord
nance disbursing officer for ordnance
material was for $18,750tO00, One re-
quisition made recently by this same
officer on the treasury was for $780,
100000. This Is the largest single requi-
sition ever made by any United States
disbursing officer.
Prior to two months ago, before the
ordnance department established its IL
district offices which zoned the country
to expedite payments to contractors
and relieve the strain upon the main
Office in Washington, the disbnrsing
officer at Washington signed from 500
to 1900 checks q day.

SLEUTHS SAVE UNITED
STATES BATTLE FLEET

Episode 3 of ''The Eagles
Eye the great serial by former
Chief William ]. Flynn of the
United States secret service,
tells of the plot to destroy the
battle fleet of the United States.
Dixie Mason leaves the. ball
room of the Hotel Ansonia with
Won Lertz, and accompanies him
to q roadhouse. There she Sc
cures his memorandum book.
In It she finds a memo reminding
von Lertz to hasten work on an
electrically controlled torpedo to
be launched against the Atlantic
fleet in New York harbor await
ing the review before the presl-
dent the next day.
Leaving Won Lertz, Dixie tele-
phones this discovery to Chief
Flynn, and under his orders fol-
lows Won Lertz in a taxi to the
rendezvous where the torpedo IS
being hurriedly prepared.
Harrison Grant, at the Grim
inology club. listening over the
detectograph wires leading from
their place of concealment in the
Hohenzollern club, receives a
telegram from Chief Flynn, and,
with his companiones, starts for
the same rendezvous.
Grant reaches Won Lertz and
his assistant just as they fire
the deadly torpedo at the flag
ship Connecticut. In a fierce
struggle Grant overcomes Won
Lertz and his assistant, and re-
verses the electrical control just
in time to swerve the torpedo
from its course as it speeds to-
ward the Connecticut, and the
fleet steams proudly to sea, UNI
conscious of the danger that
threatened.

Because of the instruction of gas Of
ficers who have been at the various
camps for the last six months, the
troops which are going forward to
France are well posted on methods OF

ment authorized by the war depart
ment. A group of British gas officers

summer. One of these men has been
at each Of the training camps, advising
and assisting the division gas officer.

vision gas officers and their assistants.
the men are drilled In the use Of
masks. taught how to detect the pres
ence Of gas, and given actual expert
ence with different sorts Of gases.
Mimic gas shells and cloud attacks,
used often at night in connection with
high explosives, help to make the train
ing realistic.
The United States has been able to
build on the experience Of the British
and French, to whom gas attacks were
unknown when they entered the war.

One Of the interesting Developments
Of the war, according to statement
authorized by the war department, Is
the rapid expansion of the various bu-
reaus of the war department. At the
outbreak of the war there We're less
than 5000 employees on. duty. The
number now is approximately 25,OOO,
an increase of 800 per cent. While this
represents tremendous expansion,
the increase in the army itself has been
more than 1900 per cent. -
Only four out Of every 100 officers
In the service were in the army at the
time the war began.
The gas defense service is now manu-
featuring about 5000 horse gas masks
per day. These are being sent to
France, and it is expected that within
short time every horse connected
with the American expeditionary
forces will be equipped with the new
masks. ~
The gas defense service has a COM
pletely equipped factory for the manu-.
facture of the masks. In less than
three weeks a building was selected
and the factory was producing masks.
The introduction of riveting machinery
has done away with the heavy hand
sewing of the frame which supports
the masks on the faces Of the horses.
The masks are so constructed that NO
metal or chemically impregnated parts
can chafe the horse.
