LOUIS BROWNS UPSET INDIANS BR Cleveland, Sept. 3. -- St. Louis Browns belied the belief they haven't any pitchers and swept a twin bill with the American League- leading Indisns before 52,491 fans yesterday. Vernon Kennedy's hitting and twirling gave him a 2-1 tri- umph in the opener and Elden Auker followed with a 3-0 shutout. The double defeat left the In- dians three and a half games in front of the New York Yankees, who broke even with the Athletics to climb into second place. Kennedy's seven-hit pitching was a big factor in his victory over vet- eran Mel Harder, but his bat was even more potent. He connected for three singles -- exactly half of the Brownie hits -- to put the winning runs on bases. The afterpiece was a tight mound duel between Auker and Johnny Allen. Both teams were blanked for eight innings, but the Browns wouldn't quit. Joe Grace opened the fins] frame with a triple, and Rip Radcliff's single brought him home. After a walk to Harlond Clift, Harry Eisenstate replaced Allen and was touched for a single by Johnny Bernardino which add- ed the two additional runs.

C. D. Howe, Minis- ter of Munitions and Supply, has revealed. Mr. Howe computed the figure as follows: Purchases by ernment on its 000,000. Purchases by the Canadian Gov- ernment on the British Govern- ment's account, $85,000,000. Expenditures and commitments by Canada on the erection and en- largement of war industries, $165, | 000,000. Total expenditures ments, $550,000,000. Today vast commitments for war industries and their enlargement, together with the usual daily volume of contracts awarded, boost- ed the total figure over the half- billion-dollar level. The Minister of Munitions em- phasized particularly the impor- tance of the Government's program of plant extension and enlargement. "The effects of this program on our economy can hardly be estimat- ed at present," said Mr. Howe. "For instance, in one city of moderate size some 15,000 more men will be | employed; in another municipality one new plant will alone employ a staff of more than 7,000." No accurate estimate of the an- nual revenue of the output of these plants is yet available, but Mr. | Howe pointed out that it might run | to some $800,000,000. "The plants," he said, "cre being located at those points in the Do- minion where materials can be pro- duced with the greatest speed, a necessity ih war, and where an ade- quate 'supply of skilled employees, | raw materials and suitable trans- portation facilities are available." Mr. Howe pointed out that the explosives and chemical plant pro- gram involves the erection of nine plants and an expenditure of over $50,000,000. In addition to several smaller undertakings, this part of the program includes two major ex- plosives projects, comparable in magnitude to the largest plants of their kind within the Empire, to- gether with three . major chemical plants, which will provide raw ma- terials for the manufacture of ex- the Canadian Gov- own account, $300,- and commit- | THE CENTRE OF CONVENIENCE IN WITH A CLUB RESTAURANT OF INTERNATIONAL FAME YHOTEL de IA SALLE DRUMMOND & ST.

More than anotner $50,000,000 is being expended on plants for the manufacture of armaments, includ- ing shells of many types and cali- bres, small arms ammunition, tanks, several types of machine guns, twa cluding the guns, carriages, mount- ings and equipment; complete anti- tank guns, complete field guns, and bombs. In addition, this part of the program involves the manufacture of the entire range of shell com- ponents, including cartridge cases; primers and fuses, together with a substantial shell-filling plant where the components of ammunition will be assembled and filled with ex- plosives and propellants, Work is now in progress also on a plant for the manufacture of rifles. All this armament work will be carried out in some twenty Canadian plants. The remainder of the plant con- struction program, according to Mr Howe, involves 'large expenditures for the annual production of a sub- stantial tonnage of a variety of non- ferrous metals, including brass. Substantial expenditures have also been made for extensions to existing plani facilities in order to permit the production of the mechanical transport and the component parts of this type of equipment required in modern war. Several plants for the manufacture of machine tools have been financed. Aircraft con- struction facilities have been sub- stantially extended. Of the capital commitments made to finance the rapid and substantial expansion of Canadian industry, it is understood that approximately half have been made for British ac- count and the remainder for Cana- dian account. But Mr. Howe point- ed out that in certain instances plants initiated by - the Canadian Government had later been taken over by the United Kingdom. "Great Britain is now iooking to and counting on Canada to pro- vide a large proportion of both raw and finished war materials," said Mr. Howe. CANADIAN TROOPS | RUSHING DEFENSE PLANINICELIND Island Was Preparing to Ask British Aid When Troops Arrived Reykjavik, Iceiand, Sept. 3 British and Canadians, in frie occupation of Iceland, a Danish- ruled kingdom, have undertaken a defense job of major proportions.
