With the outbreak of World War I (1914–18) he was made a temporary Military Engineer (2nd class) and spent the next four years studying the manufacture and use of explosives, munitions and rockets.{{sfn|Jolly|1977}} On 3 September 1918 he filed a patent application for a "shell for firing against armor plating and resisting targets".{{sfn|Shell for firing against armor plating...}} In the election of 16 November, 1919 Lefèvre was at the head of the Republican list and won reelection by an absolute majority.

Lefèvre presented the project to the Council of Ministers who approved it on condition that parliament accepted two years of service for a transitional period. On 14 December 1920, when Lefèvre was taking the waters at Vichy, the government submitted the bill on recruitment and reorganization of the army, reducing the number of divisions that could be immediately mobilized.{{sfn|Metzger|1999|p=17}} Lefèvre was deeply disappointed and worried by the reductions, and resigned from the cabinet on 16 December 1920.{{sfn|Metzger|1999|p=18}} Last yearsAndré Lefèvre was reappointed vice-president of the Chamber.
