report of Secretary Wilson, made pub

Under the direction of the bureau

B. Hayes as director, co-operative

to this inquiry, Secretary Wilson says:
"AmoTHf the circumstances disclos

the fact that the exodus of negro

United States was working Jointly with
the British hoth in design and manu

of the big tanks were in process of
manufacture in the United States
alone.
All of the working parts of many
others were built in the United States
and shipped to England for assembly.
In this way they reached the- front

in this country. On was an eight-
inch Ilowltaer mounted on a tractor
which plowed over rough ground or
through heavy woods, knocking down
trees as it went.
An American gun of 75-mm calibre,
the present standard American light
field gun. mounted on a two and a
half ton tractor, showed a speed over
soft, brceten ground of eight or ten
miles an hour. With these two guns
alone at the front the artillery could
have outdistanced the infantry In an
advance through any country.
1 Mr. Crowell showed that the United
states has on hand now an enormous
stock of reserve ammunition for all
the army's standard guns. For the
76's alone, more than 15,000,000
rounds are on hand.
When the great German drive
started luat March It was disclosed
France had (3,000,000 rounds for her
76's in reserve. When the armistice
was signed her reserve stock had
been reduced to IS, 000, 000 rounds.
A call 'was made by the French on
the United Stutes for 2,500,000 rounds
for these guns a month. In October,
the United States delivered 2,000,000
rounds in France, and had another
8,000,000, waiting at the docks, the
monthly output on this side having
reached three and a half millions
with steady Increase in flow.

When the Influenza epidemic
struck the country and wiped out our
warehouse and jobbers' stocas airnusi
over-night, we were faced 'with the
problem of-- distributing to- - the
stricken districts in tha quickest
possible manner our daily output of
VapoRub. We solved this by offering
to ship direct to the retailers in
these influenza districts, by parcel
post prepaid, quantities of not mors
than three dozen VapoRub in aiy
one shipment, and by shipping what
was left from our dally production to
our Jobbers by express instead of
f reicht.
This was costly, but it solved the
problem for the time being. Now,
however, we find that these small
shipments ars constantly increasing
ws have received as many aa 1,306 In
a single mail. It Is becoming Impos
sible for us to fili these promptly, and
instead of distributing our goods mors
quickly, they are really slowing; up the
process.
We believe that we can serve you
better now by reverting to our former
tbVpvf of shipping exclusively thru
tlie.'Jbbbir. and. effective immediately.
rno trtdre-drop shipments will be made.

country in this time of stress. We

the trade our hearty thanks for the
kind co-operation extended us In our
effort to meet this emergency.
