Orders Placed
1In Scandinavia
Stockholm, Oct., 7. (By A. P.)-Con-
siderable interest has been aroused
here by the large orders for war ma-
terial placed by several foreign fov-
ernments with the Bofors company,
Scandanavian's largest manufacturer
of guns, ammunition and military sup-
plies.
Less than a month ago the head
of the Boford concern announced that
it had contracted for delivery of 10,
000,000 kroners' worth of war material.
A new report from the same com-
pany now reveals the placing of an-
other $5,000,000 worth of orders with-
in the last few weeks. In striking
contrast with this, it is reported that
the demand for agricultural imple-
ments, another great speciality of the
works, is comparatively small.
