SOME USES OF THE PEOPLES
MONEY BY The WAR
Department

Since the United States entered the
war. little more than 10 months ago,
the War Department has raised,
equipped, trained and, with naval
help, sent across the sea upward Of a
million and half of soldiers and has
practically as many more under train
ing at home. The number of Ameri-
can soldiers lost in transit as a re-
suit of U-boat attacks up to Septem-
Der 1 last was less than 500.
In this time more than 100000
rifles Of the new 1917 model, consid-
cred by many experts the best army
rifle in the world, have been made, in
spected. assembled and issued, and
the weekly production is growing.
The total amount of money directly
apprc priated by Congress for the Ord
nance Program, or for which authori-
cation has been given to incur obli-
cations, amounts to approximately
$12,000,0O0, since the beginning Of
| the war.
From the beginning Of the war, to
June 30, 1913, the last day Of the past
| fiscal year, contracts were placed by
the Ordnance Department from ap-
preparations and authorizations exist
ing at that time amounting to $780,,
! 100000. II is estimated that during
the present fiscal year ending June 80,
1918, the actual cash expenditures for
| ordnance will reach a total of $780,
| 100000.
The major items for which cash ex-
contracts were placed, up to June &c.
| 1918, were:
Artillery $1,000, OOO, coo
| Automatic Rifles 300 600 600
Small Arms 100 900 600
| Artillery Ammunition 1900, OOO, 900
Small Arms Ammunition APO 900 900
Stores & Supplies 230, 000, 900
| Armored Motor Cars 100000, 900
| S4,10O, 900, 900
Artillery Ammunition $3.50, 900, 900
and Small Arms Ammunition $685.,
| 100000
| Expenditures in connection with
military engineering operations direct
ly relating to the war have exceeded
| $375,OO0,OO0 the past year, the larger
| part going for docks and railways in
| France.
Since the beginning of our partici-
| patton in the war, there have been
| bought for Army use 625,461,39 lbs
of flour at a cost of $43,375,445; 1885,.
582.316 lbs of sugar at cost of $14,-
452,512; 11O,451 $40 lbs. of bacon at a
