Blc GUN MANUFACTURE REACH.
ING QUANTITY BASIS.
American manufacture OF mobile
and heavy artillery is reaching the
quantity basis. and American guns in
great numbers will reach France
early next year. Lack OF shipping
facilities is holding them back from
the firlng line now.
Military men here say that the
numbers OF Britlsh troops now on the
western front are much smaller than
generally supposed in view OF the
tremendous fighting that has been
going on. Great Britain supposedly
has 100000 men in It's military es-
tablishment, but the proportion actu-
ally engaged on the western firing
line Is smaller than in other armies.
