AN AuTHoRITATIvE cRITIc.

Colonel Isaac Lewis, inventor Of
the Lewis machine gun, proved a
sharp critic OF General Crozier, for
mer chief OF the bureau Of ordnance,
before the senate committee.
Under other circumstances, Colonel
Lewis would not have been as effec-
tive In that role, perhaps, as he is un-
der those existing. Inventors whose
inventions make slow progress are
always bitter on the score OF the men
who seemingly stand In their path, of
ten without sufficient reason, as in
ventors are prone to overestimate the
value OF the children OF their brains.
But Colonel Lewis spoke as the man
who devised one Of the most useful
weapons that has been introduced on
the battlefields OF Europe, and thus,
authoritatively. as man who has ar
rived, and not as one seeking recogni-
tion for the work of his genius. That
recognition has already been given, In
generous measure.
Thus his sweeping condemnation O.
the spirit OF the ordnance department
under the direction of General croz-
ier carries very serious weight. Al
ready there had been much specula-
ton as to why the ordnance officers OF
the United States should have been
unable to see any merit in the Lewis
invention. True, when 1t was sub
mitted to them the Lewis gun was not
perfected as il has been. But aren't
ordnance officers, with their elaborate
technical equipment, supposed to be
able TO recognize merit in a new idea
and see that il is given a reasonable
test? If not, what are they for?
Colonel Lewis tale was one of con-
tinual encouragement and rebuffs at
the hands OF the ordnance officers. IL
leaves these gentlemen, and particu-
larly their chief, General Crozier, in
a most unenviable light. There is lit
tie they can say in rebuttal that can
carry much weight in light Of the gen
eral use Of the Lewis gun by the allied
armies. and the high praise that all
allied ordnance officers have for IT'S
value Mining Journal
