Demobilization

by Benedict Crowell; Robert Forrest Wilson

[10] Sufficient to equip engineer troops with army of 825,000 men.

[11] Chemical Warfare. By Fries and West; the McGraw-Hill Company.

[12] Abridged from the discussion in Chemical Warfare. By Fries and West; the McGraw-Hill Company.

[13] Under the contract France and England must at any time lease this or some other cross-Channel cable to the United States upon the request of this country.

[14] The French Government later converted the plant into a railroad car repair shop.

[15] This sum was much more than offset in our favor by the decline in sterling exchange during the time bills were unpaid.

[16] Due to the slump in business and prices in 1921, this estimate is probably too high.
