aUROPE’S CRY FOR ARMS
FILLS AMERICAN COFFERS
i
One billion dollars came to the
baited States during the war in 1911
in payment for munitions and sup
plies sent to the allied powers, accord
ing to estimates made by the New
York \Y >rld. During the last six
months the allies have spent $400
1 00,00o for American supplies. Many
>f the contracts still have nine
months tt> run, and some will require
•wo years to complete.
Little of this vast trades goes by
iireet shipment. It is sent across
the border to Canada, where it i<
trans-shipped in British bottoms to
Kngland. and there distributed 1'
!'ranee and Russia. Owing to tho
leekading of cade lines, it has not
■ eon possible for American makers
• >f war goods to sell to Germany.
The allies have bought up or eon
trooted for the entire output of even
firm in the country that manufacture}
arms and aniniintion. The greatest
secrecy is maintained in placing
the orders and filling them. There arc
75 factories in the country that man
ufacture firearms and ammunition
■*x« -luaivoly. Ordinarily they employ
20.000. Now they are working every
hour of the day. and 50.000 men are
.jOeded to keep them running.
So great is the demand for am
munition and guns that many manu
facturers are altering peaceful plant i
» they can turn out war munitions
and get in on the trade. The Rem
ington Arms Company had a factory
t llion. X. Y.. which turned out typo
writers. It has been enlarged so
that it also makes guns. The buy
ng of the allies lias recently been
- vstematized and is now in the hands
*f .1. P. Morgan & Company and
'he Guaranty Trust company of New
York.

Ex-Senator L. V. Ray, president of
the first territorial senate, says that
lie tax laws passed at the first ses

mkeshifts and that permanent regu

time. At the time of the first session
t le territory had no money and the

Printing Pomt Does Not
Bob Up and Down
\ In an L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter
the point on the paper which is to receive the
type impression is stationary at the instant the
type hits. The carriage does not bob up and
down when the shift is made to write capitals.
Why?
j Because the type is shifted—not the carriage.
The only movement of the carriage is back and
forth on its closely adjusted ball bearing runways—
r.nd this d. os r.ot take place while tire print is being
