THE ARMY ESTIMATES
'Army and navy aviation school AUTOMATIC VERSUS MAGAZINE RIFLE. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received 28, D.35 p.m. London, February 28. In the House of Commons the Army Estimates were introduced. They .total £27,860]000, an increase of £170,000 over last year. The increase is due entirely to the growth of aviation, whereon £308,000 is to be spent, compared with '£1,280,000 expended by France. The War Office intends to establish a joint army and navy aviation school on Salisbury Plains. The whole expeditionary If.rce will shortly be equipped with pointed bullet ammunition and re-sighted rifles. No satisfactory automatic rifle has been produced; therefore the War Office is testing a new pattern magazine rifle.
