HOUSE POSTPONES VOTE
ON FORT|F|CAT|ONS BILL
Completes Consideration of Appro.
priation Measure Carrying
About $35, 900, 900.

The House yesterday completed con-
sderatioh of the fertilization appro-
priation bill. carrying about So, 900, 900.
The vote on the measure however. was
postponed until Tuesday owing to the
absence from the city of a large num-
Der of representatives who desire to
vote on the passage of the bill. Con-
vention absentees are expected to be
back in their places by that day.
The total carried by the bill is much
larger than similar measures have been
in recent years.
During the debate yesterday, Repre-
sentative Sherley of Kentucky. in
charge of the bill, explained the reason
no provision was made for the manu-
facture of heavy siege guns, such as
have been used In the European war.
He said.
Guns to Obliterate Trenches.
"Heretofore the largest gun we have
built for field service" said Mr.. Sher-
lev, "has been six-inch howitzer Most
of the guns that we have built have
been three-inch guns. The three-inch gun
was. prior TO the breaking out of the Eu-
ropean war. perhaps with the eXcep-
ton of Germany. considered the most
important field weapon.
lS
the warfare is of a mobile character.
but the European warfare very rapidly
degenerated after the course of the
first few days from mobile warfare
into a trench warfare.
While the three-inch and other light
guns were sufficient to clear away ordi-
nary INSTRUCTIONS, such as barbed wire
entanRlements, they were not sufficient
to absolutely obliterate the trenches
and to destroy the men who were in
them.
Comparison of Guns.
las a result of that the Germans.
who had built very heavy siege guns,
presumably for the destruction of land
fortifications. proceeded to use these
siege guns against the trenches. The
allies in turn have, so far as they have
been able to supply themselves with
heavy ordnance. been using such guns in
, their trench warfare.
,"In my judgment II Is not at all GER
4 tain that we will ever want in America
| anything like the extremely heavy
guns that the Germans use. We prob
/ ably will want a gun of about nine
| inches or better. with projectilc
| Weighing a, least 400 pounds. That
! would be sufYicient to destroy trenches.
and inasmuch as we do not need guns
to destroy land Notifications such MS
