Navy and Army share aviation funds and nitrate contracts
The army and navy will bear aviation costs from recent Congress appropriations. Navy contracts authorize about 51 million pounds of Chilean nitrate for powder making at roughly 2.20 per hundred pounds. The Mars will make three coal runs to the Pacific and collect nitrate at Taltal. Two cargoes were awarded to a New York German firm representing a Chilean concern, which cannot export nitrate due to war conditions, allowing lower prices than the current 2.35 per hundred pounds. Marine orders list several detachments and transfers for Haiti Santo Domingo and Olongapo, with retirements and duty changes. An automatic camera by a French inventor enables aviators to photograph 130 miles of terrain ahead.
