| Field artillery | 407 kilos |
| Trench artillery | 203 kilos |
| Heavy artillery | 704 kilos |
| High Power artillery | 12 kilos |
| —— | |
| Total | 1442 kilos |
And these are the figures for the monthly expenditure in munitions for the .75's alone:
| July, 1916 | 6,400,000 shells |
| September, 1916 | 7,000,000 shells |
| October, 1916 | 5,500,000 shells |
During the last offensive the total expenditure amounted to twelve million projectiles of all calibers.
This incomparable war industry has permitted us not only to fight, to defend ourselves and to attack the enemy, but also to supply our friends, our Allies, with the munitions necessary to fight. Up to January, 1918, these are the amounts of munitions France was able to hand over to the nations fighting at her side in Europe:
| 1,350,000 | rifles |
| 800,000,000 | cartridges |
| 16,000,000 | automatic rifles |
| 10,000 | mitrailleuses |
| 2,500 | heavy guns |
| 4,750 | airplanes |
And to France has come the honor of making the light artillery for the American Army—amounting to several hundred guns per month.
A nation that is worn out and bled white has an empty treasury and is no longer able to obtain taxes from its ruined citizens. Let us consider what France had done in a financial way in this war.
From the first of August, 1914, to the first of January, 1918, the French Parliament voted war credits amounting to twenty billions of dollars. Of this enormous fund only two billions have been borrowed from outside sources; all the remainder has been subscribed or paid for by taxation or by loans in France herself. More than a billion dollars has been loaned to her Allies by France.
