WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The war de.

the heavy caliber for army revolvers
and to adopt cartridge proposed by
the ordnance bureau, carrying bull.
let of forty-eight caliber to replace
the hirty.eight caliber now in use.
The reason for the change is that 1t is
desired to have a bullet with greater
stopping power than that now in use.
Opportunity is also given for q de.
cided innovation In the type of the re.
vclver. The ordnance bureau has iu-
vited manufacturers Of pistols to enter
into . competition and to submit types
of revolvers either of the automatic
kind or along the lines Of those now
used by the army.
All weapons submitted, however,
must be for the use of the forty five
caliber cartridge which has been
adopted. The orders will be placed
come months hence.
