MORE SMALL ARMS FOR

Germany timidity before American
pistol fighterg, armed with American
45 caliber sutowstic pletols has
brought about » change in the equip-
ment of the Ameriean Expeditiovary
Forces by the War Department, and
the Ord navce Department ls rushing
production of these weapons. About
3,000 are turned out dally and prodae-
tion is increasing. The impression
exists that a shot from an American
45 takes a man out of action complete-
ly. Men bit from the smaller Ger-
man pistols frequently contipue in ac
tion effec ively. The 45 caliber was
adopted by the United Btates Army in
1911.
Despite the heavy increased demand
for these pistols the ammunition
branch of the Ordnance Department
has ¢ flected a saving during the past
two calendar months of nearly $2,000,-
000, mostly on small arms smmuni-

expedition, snd Potter was successful
in shooting down 8 German sesplane
which attacked the reconnaissance for-
mation. A second enemy seaplane
found safety in running sway.
Potter's death reflects credit on hie

with seven enemy single-seaters. He
was second pilot to a British Air Foree
captain, who was with him when he

planes passed satern. The two British
planes dived and speeded westward
