Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ordnance and the World War: A Contribution to the History of American Preparedness
Tms Book is written in the belief that there is a public in the United States which would wish to know something of the method by which its great army was prepared to play its part in the World War. Everybody now knows that we entered the war with a very small army and a wholly inade quate supply of arms, ammunition and other equip ment; but there are some who do not know why it took so long a time to raise the war army and trans port it to Europe, or why its supply with certain American-made munitions was so much delayed.
