GERMANY RE-ARMS
THE INFANTRYMEN
New Model Rifle to Be Used, Re.
loading by Recoil and Increasing
Rapidly of Fire.

ERPURT. GERMANY, Dec. 90
The government small arm factory
here has been ordered to work over
time 1t is reported that the gov
eminent has decided to re-arm the
infantry with new model rifle,
probably one of the several pat
terms which have long been under
consideration and which reload by
the recoil, thus eliminating reload
ing by hand and correspondingly
increasing the rapidity of fire. The
total number of rifles required for
the troops on peace footing and
for the army reserves. which are
maintained ready for war exceeds
three million. The capacity of the
government and private arms man.
ufactories in Germany is greater
than that of any other continental
country, but nevertheless the task
of re-arming the infantry is not an
easy one and Is very expensive.
IT necessary the government will
order the construction of an entirely
new weapon, although possibly parts
of the old rifle will be disable.
Such decisions as this are always
at the outset kept secret, though
confidential communications regard
Ing the cost are made in advance to
the party leaders in the Reichstag.

They examined the operations of two

view to ascertaining precisely how
the liquors are made. They got In.
formation that they had not been able

cluslvely to blenders who mix the
pure gin with neutrB' spirits and some

ton 1t has been discovered that three
