OPTIMISTIC REGARDING
PREPAREDNESS FOR WAR
Gen. Crozier Says U. S. Can Have
Enough Heavy Cannon for 100000
Men in Six Years.

Gen. William Crozier. chief of Ord
nance OF the United States Army. ap-
peared before the House Committee on
Military Affairs yesterday and discussed
his estimates for ordnance for the COM
ing year. Gen. Crozier seemed to take
more optimistic view of this country's
preparedness than some of his associates.
Representative Kahn, OF California, a
member Of the committee, asked Gen.
Crozier If he had seen any models Of the
big guns that Germany had been reported
to have used in reducing Belgian fortifi-
cations. Gen. CroZier said he had not.
He explained that these guns were made
to be used against strong Notifications;
that there was no place in the United
States where such gun could be used
Gen. Crozier said that at present they
were using guns OF from three to six
inch callber for the army in the field
and he discussed his estimates about
these guns.
The opinion was expressed by Gen. Gro
Zier that at the rate the army was be-
ing supplied with the approved type OF
field artillery there would be an ade-
quate supply in six years for the extended
army; that is, the army on a war foot
ing Of 10000 men,
