exception was the Braves Of 1914.
Stallings' club of that year came
from nowhere to win a pennant and

French and British during the war.
In the frs twenty months, however.
after the declaration Of war by each
nation, Great Britain produced more
artillery than the United States, but
the United States excelled the British
record in the production of heavy ar
tillery and light and heavy ammuni-
ton. The American armies had in
France $500 pieces of artillery, of
which nearly 500 were made in
America. They used on the firing line
2,2b0 pieces of which 13Q were made
in America, American aviators used
1858 planes at the battle front, Of
which 667 were Of American manu-
facture. American aviators brought
down 755 enemy planes in action and
lost 357. American divisions were in
battle for zoo days and were en-
gagged In thirteen major operations.
