New Inventions have been made by 'r' Americans, and American machine p tools for shell making have been sent to Europe and are used in the factories 17 there. The number of shells of shrapnel made in this country is almost bel yond computation. Long before we entered the war our different factories were tnrnihg out hundreds of thoule sands of shrapnel a week, and It was til due to this demand for munitions that e- enabled us to turn out the big product i we are now making. This is so not is only of shrapnel, but of powder and ly explosives of all kinds. Rofore the war d- one company was making about 400,ip 000 pounds of military powders per annum, another was turning out S00 ie 12-inch shells per day. and a third 10 making 000,000 loaded time fuses a h month. The orders of the allies ran Into many hundreds of,millions of dollars and it is said that almost $2,000, at 000,000 worth of war supplies were contracted for by J. I'.
