and revolvers for the troops. In the Colt .45," the standard army auto matic developed as a result of Philip pine experience by the army and which also was an invention by Brown ing, the United States forces had a weapon which all Europe could not mat oh for efficiency in action and which brought terror to the Germans when American troops reached the front.
 European countries failed to appre- ciate the value of large calibre, hard hitting weapon of this type and the chief use of pistols and revolvers in European armies had been as orna- ments for officers uniforms it is said rather than for active fighting.
 "The result of Europe's neglect the report says. twas that the small calibre revolvers of the Germans and even of the French and British were toys in comparison to the big Colts that slapped the thighs of American doughboys."
 With this weapon, it is stated, "any average soldier with average training can hit what he shoots at. In almost the first skirmish it proved it's super. for usefulness in trench fighting. Such can soldier who dispersed or killed a whole squad of German bayoneteers which had surrounded him struck the enemy with fear of Yankee prowess with the pistol.'
 This resulted in the addition of

pistols to the fighting equipment of the American troops at a rate that overwhelmed the supply. Every effort to increase the production was made, but the army was forced to resort to 45-callbre revolvers to supplement the supply The actual rate of production reached just before the armistice was 1893 pistols and 1,233 revolvers a day and the total number of weapons built during the war was 743,663. %
 The standard American army rife ammunition proved its superiority in action, adding materially to the ac- curacy of American small arms fire. Extraordinary measures to produce cartridges in sufficient numbers are recounted in the report and in the fall of 1918 the United States achieved an average monthly output of 2S4,852,735 rounds against Brit ish average of 259,769,O0O and a French average of 139, 9,S45, ,OOO. During the 19 months the United States was in the war it produced 2,S64,954, ,OOO rounds, approximately equalling the French production and comparing with 3,4S6,127,OOO produced by Great Britain.
