today the investigation ordered by con-

how far and in what manner the rail-

showing that pooling agreements have

MACHINE GUMS.

Washington, April 1.-THE military
information division has been accun1u-
lating much data concerning machine
guns, and has prepared d general staff
bulletin in the form OF a 2oo-page
pamphlet on the subject, dealing with
the tactical use Of such ordinance. The
material consists, for the most part, of
stranslations, made by army officers of
foreign comments, to which has been
added information received from milf
stary attaches who accompanied the
Russian and Japanese armies in the
field 1t is interesting to observe that
The Russians have lost confidence in the
machine gun, probably largely for the
reason that they sacrificed eight pieces
sat the Yalu, while the japanese came
into a high appreciation Of the Weap-
on for the damage the Russian guns
wrought In succeeding enga agemeIits
especially at the battle Of Nanshar
Hill. The results obtained with ma
chine guns have increased the military
favor for that ordnance, both on ac-
count of the physical and moral effecl
