The Imperial Munitions Board reports $45 million in new orders for heavy shells to be delivered in 1917, pushing total orders for high explosives above $100 million. Canada has shipped about $200,000 in shells so far, with daily deliveries near $1,000 and projected monthly output around $35,000,000 by year end.

An official guide on training female munitions workers has been distributed to Canadian manufacturers.
