BETTER A HUNDRED MILLIONS.
MI. Bryan's Opinion On the War Ap-
preparation.


Atlanta, Ga, March 9.-Hon. William
]. Bryan spent few hours at Atlanta
today on his way to Macon, where he
spoke tonight. When asked his opin-
ion as regards the action of congress
in placing $5OOOO,OOO at the presidents
disposal for the national defense, Mr..
Bryan said:
Il am glad the house acted promptly
and unanimously. In fact, it might
have been better to have made it
800, 100000 to show the world that con-
gress and the American people, with
out regard to political differences, are
ready to support the administration in
any action necessary for the protec-
ton of the honor and welfare of the
nation"
Does this appropriation mean WARP
Not necessarily" replied Mr.. Bryan.
Instead of leading to war, a prompt
liberality at this time may lessen the
probability of war, and in the end prove
a. wise economy
He praised Consul General Lee, say
ing he had performed his duty with
great ability, courage and discretion,
under trying circumstances.

TO ARM HALF A MILLIoN.
Uncle Sam Looking Around For Best
Modern Guns.

Washington, March 9.-The war de-
partment is arranging to secure a large
supply of the most modern rifles, suffi-
cient in time of emergency to arm a
force of 100000 men. The need of these
modern guns has long been apparent,
but congress has not shown a DISPOSE
ton 70 supply any reserve rifles for
use by a volunteer force in time of
emergency. Now, however, an ade-
quate supply of the most effective rifles
will be among the uses TO which the
war department will put its share of
the defense fund.
It is stated by high officials of the
department today that no board was
necessary to inquire into the merits of
the various guns on the market, but
that the department would turn to the
best sources of supply. These, it is
said, are ample within the United
States TO turn out rifles of the most
approved pattern as fast as the gov
eminent wants them. 1t is not unlike
ly, however, that the demand will re-
quire the army to turn from the Krag-
Jorgensen rifle, now in use, and adopt,
in part at least, one of the American
made guns. General Miles strongly IA
vors the ''straight-pull gum 1t is of
American make, and has been adopted
by the British government as the
Sl1HudTu dIHl- a lnllllO0 DelIS now IN
the hands of British soldiers. General
Miles recommended its adoption IL
years ago, when a member of a board
for the choice of a rifle. He continued
his advocacy of it, and in view of his
ranking position in the army, his view
win have much weight. This gun is
used by the United States navy, and
this is being urged as another point in
its favor, as the reserve supply would
be available for either branch of the
government service. The ordnance bu-
reau of the war department has control
of the letting of contracts for rifles,
small arms. etc. The officials of the
bureau observe great reticence, feeling
that the publication of what they are
doing would prejudice the interests of
the government. But the closing of
contracts is almost a question of time,
for the heads of departments are
agreed that these supplies are the first
to be secured.
Like attention is being given to sup
plies of powder, cartridges, etc, for the
army Those in authority say orders
can be filed without delay, and that
about the only branch of ordnance on
which the facilities are not fully up to
an emergency demand are those for
heavy fortification guns.
