IGNORING RUSSIA
 ON ARMS DELIVERY
Commission Comes to United
 States to Investigate Shortage

New York, Aug. 1S.-According to reliable information availabl the rate of output of military small arms in the United States has now reached the highest figure attained since the beginning of the placing of orders in this country for the allies. It is noted, however, that the deliveries are being made mostly of British account, and 1t is because of this situation that an important Russian commission has arrived in New York city to investi- gate and report on the slowness of Russian deliveries. It Is declared that the total number of military rifles for infantry and cavalry purposes deliv- cred to Russia from the United States from all sources since the beginning of the present war does not exceed 1000.
 As against the small number of guns made available for Russia, the Winchester Arms company, it is re- ported, is now turning out about 200 rifles a day. These figures are given with some reserve since there is less definite knowledge available regard ing the Winchester shop than in the case of most other plants. The 1900 figure, however, Is reported as con- Bervative.
 The Remington shops, at Ilion, N. Y. are now turning out, it is reported, 1000 rifles a day. and the new plant At Eddystone, Pa., is credited with a daily output of 2,OOO rifles. In the ease of Eddystone the output rate will reach, it is predicted, 5000 guns a day by September 1.
 The Eddystone plant, it is said has had the advantage over many older establishments in being able to take advantage of every modern feature known in rife manufacture and in consequence it has been possible tc build that plant up from the outset with the idea always in mind of in- stalling the newest mechanical and economic features.
 The shops at Ilion, New Haven and Eddystone are all engaged in produc- ing the British Lee-Enfeld rifle.
 The Westinghouse works at Spring field, Mass, are turning out the Rus sian rife, and the first of the Russian deliveries were made, it is announced only a short time ago. The Bridge port shops of the Remington com pany, it is learned, have been disap- pointing in their deliveries up to this time.
 The Savage Arms company at Uti- "a, N Y, has devoted it's attention, it Is said, largely to turning out ma chine guns, and it is said that the product is giving satisfaction.
 The powder deliveries for the allies rt no time within the last twelve months, it is said, have been other than satisfactory. Even the Russian deliveries, which seem to have suffered the most in other lines, have not been ekimped in the case of high explos- Ives.

Girl With Green
Eyes, Tomorrow

At the Grand yyandato .......
For a genuine feature picture that
is elaborately produced and eNcep-
tionaily we'll acted. one has to go no
further than The Girl With the
Green Eyes at the Grand tomorrow
evening. Clyde Fitch's play is foi-
lowed closely throughout and the big
scenes and Dig situations are handled
with the utmost skill. A most pleas
ing thing about this play is that it is
consistent and d clear depletion OF
what happens in actual life. The fast
and clear action carries with it en-
citement and "punch' in every new
development and tense situation.
In all this the convincing acting Of
Katherine kaelred and Julian
L'Estrange have an enormous part.
1t is enough to say that each acts
exactly the way one of his sex and
one OF like temperament would un-
der the circumstances The picture
was produced by Popular Plays and
Players.

PAPER HANGER GIVEN

William Warner, arrested on a
charge OF obtaining money under
false pretenses was given 10 days in
which TO make good on the paper
hanging jobs he had contracted and
received money for or go To Jail, in
police court Wednesday morning.
Several persons whom Warner
had swindled were in court ready
10 testify against him but said they
would drop the case If he made
good on his promises. Warner
scheme was TO collect advance
money on jobs and then forget about
them. He claimed that the reason
he had failed TO do two of the jobs
was because his Chicago firm which
supplied the paper was out Of a GER
tain style wanted. He did not order
any paper preferring TO wait and do
the jobs at the same time.
