WAR CAUSES SH ORTAGE
OF NEWTYPEWRITERS
TWO YEARS NEEDED BY MANU-
FACTURERS TO FILL ALL FOR-
EIGN SHIPMENTS
Typewriters have played an im-
portant part in the winning of the
war, and they have been just as
scarce as they have been useful, ac-
cording to a typewriter man in this
city.
Before the United States entered the
war, typewriters were none too plenti-
ful and a ready market could be found,
for all the machines that could be
manufactured. When the big indus-
tries of the country began business
upon a war basis the situation in the,
typewriter world became critical.
War Increases Deiand
The demand for machines was great-
ly increased, not only by private con-
cerns, but also by the government.
Thousands of machines were needed
for the endless clerical work in Wash-
ington alone and then all the newly
established training camps had to be
supplied. New munition plants start-:
ed by the war department needed them
as well as private concerns who were
doing additional work for the govern-
ment. In short, the typewriter was
needed as it has never been needed
before.
Material Hinders Manufacturers
The manufacturers of typewriters
might have been able to bring their
production up to a point where they
could have met the demand had it not
been that the raw products market
was greatly restricted, owing to the
great demands for steel in munition
and other war work.
To meet this situation the govern-
ment required all the typewriter com-
panies 'to sign a pledge stating that
they would not sell machines except
to the government and to essential
war work industries. The retail trade
was also held to the same restrictions
in a matter of new machines.
Concerns Rebuld Machines
At the request of the government
the rebuilding of old typewriters has
been carried out to a much larger ex-
tent than formerly. Many of the large
typewriter concerns have been re-
building hundreds of their own make
machines and selling them direct from
the factories to consumers. Retail
dealers have also had to resort to the
rebuilding of fold machines to satisfy
the demand of their customers.
One of the peculiar things about the
typewriter business is that, although
there are about 100 makes of machines,
there are only about six standard ma-
chines in demand. The manufacturers
of. these machines are now about ten
montlis behind on domestic orders and
over two years back on foreign ship-
ments. Although the restrictions are
now removed on sales, it is thought
by dealers that it will be nearly a year
before the manufacturers can get back
to a normal basis.
SHORT SUCCESSFUL CAREERS OF
CANTEENS TO.COME TO CLOSE
The two canteens, which have been
so popular among the gobs and buck
privates, will be closed by the end
of this week. What little stock was
not disposed of at the recent sales
has been bought up by Ann Arbor
merchants. The pie, cake, and cones
that were sold have filled- many a
vacuum for the S. A. T. C. and naval
unit men that the meals at the Union
failed to fill. The maximum busi-
ness was done over the lunch coun-
ter. The careers of the canteens have
been short, but they were successful.
Arrival of Transport Causes Tumult
New York, Dec. 18. - When the
American transport Leviathin arriv-
ed in New York Monday with 8,381 of
the overseas forces aboard, there was
a tumult as great as on the day arm-
istice was declared. Of these men
there were 1,500 sick and wounded.
Numbers of soldiers had been decor-
ated by the French and United States
governments for bravery in action.
The majority of the men were from
the 27th and 30th divisions which
saw heavy fighting in late September
near St. Quentin.
An absolute order has been issued,
by the University of Wisconsin pro-
hibiting dancing during the influenza
epidemic. The authorities also request
that students do not attend the movies.
ATTENTION! NAVY MEN!
The United War drive pledges
from the navy are now due and
are payable at Lane hall, or by
mail to I. Leo Sharfman, Lane
hall. It is the wish of the com-
mittee that the men pay their
pledges as soon as possible.
WRECKING OF ARMY
MESS HALL BEGUN
Work on tearing down of the tem-
porary S. A. T. C. mess hall at the
southeast corner of the new Union
building was begun yesterday. The
building was constructed by the army
mechanics training detachment the
latter part of eSptember to provide
room to feed the S. A. T. C. men.
Some time ago orders were received
here to the effect that none of the tem-
porary buildings ,about the campus
should be torn down until specific in-
structions from Washington were re-
ceived.
Information came from Washington
last Tuesday stating that such build-
ings might now be torn down if deem-
ed necessary by the University author-
ities. It was decided that the mess hall
should be razed to lessen the fire risk
at the new Union. None of the other
buildings will be taken down until
such time as it is deemed necessary by
the University.
