AMERICAN ARMY
SUPPLIES MUSI
AWAIT ORDERS
LONDON.—Disposition of Amer
ican army supplies in England will
be a big and complicated task. Ow
ing to the nature of certain con
tracts and an agreement with the
British government, the army can
, not begin selling material for
at least a month yet in the opinion
'of army officers, but they are pre
! paring the way now. Some material
| still is being delivered to the army
while other contracts are held in
abeyance pending settlement.
When the United States entered
the war it was agreed that all con
tracts for supplies should be made
through the British government. It
also was agreed that at the termin
ation of hostilities the United States
| should not sell material without
' consent of the British government,
nor could any of the contracts ar
ranged through the British be can
celled except by negotiations thru
that government.
| Even if there are some delays
I the United States doubtless will
j profit on many of its sales. No
| agreement could be reached with
i the firm which held a contract to
j deliver to the American army about
j 200 huge gasoline tanks for use in
! France. Delivery is continuing, but
| it is not worrying quartermaster
! officers as the army already has
| been offered more than the con
tract price for the lot. With some
other material the same situation
obtains.
i
The work of settling unfinished
conracts is progressing but British
officials are unwilling for a huge
amount of material to be suddenly
dumped on the market, notwith
standing there is an insistent de
mand for some of it at inflated
prices. British officials say there
is no desire whatever to deprive
Americans of an advantageous mar
ket, but they argue that they also
must consider the disposal of the
enormous amount of British army
supplies stored in England.
The American Red Cross had no
agreement with the British govern
ment and reecntly disposed of a lot
of motor transport equipment for
approximately $27,550. The pur
chase price was $24,500 and the
equipment had been in use a vear.

Any kind of a motor is in great!
demand in England.
No record has been kept of the
total amount of contracts allotted1
for the American army in Great i
Britain, but like everything in the
war, it was measured in huge fig-!
ures. It is estimated, however, that
the ordnance contracts alone
amounted to about $500,000,000.'
Much of this, of course, will not
bring as good returns as the ma
terials coming unde# jurisdiction
of the quartermaster’s department.

“Big Bill” McGinnis, in charge of
the big steam shovel which the en
gineering commission employs in its
construction operations in the An
chorage division, recently received
a message from Mrs. McGinnis, who
1
is in the Sisters’ hospital in Seattle,
announcing that the McGinnis family
had been increased by two—a boy
and a girl. And right on top of
this glad news came a wire that Mr.
McGinnis had fallen heir to an es
tate of $80,000, left by an uncle
recently deceased.
