AAERICAN TROOPS ABE
 USING FRENCH WEAPONS
Respons sbility for the Machine Gun Situation Was Placed by General Crozer on Secretary of War 5aker An Executive Session Win Be Held Today.

Washington, Dec. Members Of the senate military committee today subjected Major General Cozier, chief of ordnance. to three hours of sharp cross examination, seeking explana- ton of delays in providing the war army with weapons. Tomorrow in ex- coutive session they will press ques- tions which the general objected to answering in the open hearing.
 Throughout the examination General Crozier insisted that there had been and would be, no delay in equipping soldiers sent abroad. He admitted that the cause of a shortage of ma | France were supplied with weapons of French manufacture and that there | was lack of both machine guns and rifles in the training cantonments, but declared that the trHrning of troops | would not be seriously retarded Responsibility for the machine gun situation was placed by the general upon Secretary Baker, who, he said, had taken a personal interest in the
 matter and ordered an investigation
 which resulted in the adoption, in June, of a new gun known as the Browning type This statement came
 when Chairman Chamberlain said he was not satisfied with the explana- ton that the delay had been caused by investigations.
 Neither am satisfied. the witness responded, Out l am not personally responsible"
 Nearly every member of the con- mittee joined in the examination and questions were fired across the table l as rapidly as the general could answer.
 ] Chairman Chamberlain took excep- 1 tions to conclusions drawn from Gen. 1 eraI Crozier's testimony yesterday 1 that congress, by failing to make prompt appropriations and labor troubles were largely responsible for 1 the delay. General Crozier said he had not intended such an interpre- tation and that millions of dollars ap- propriated had not been expended.
 Delay in supplying rifles, the gen 1 eral explained in detail, was due to the factory changes incident to modi- fication of the British Enfield type l which large private plants in this country are equipped to make, to use American ammunition. Better rifies' are the result, he insisted He also said Krag and other types are now being sent to national army canton ments and that other production IS in- creasing. Detailed statements regard ing prospective delivery of rifles, he regarded as confidential and were postponed until tomorrow's executive session.
 While General Crozier was testify ing his nomination for another term l as ordnanc chief was received from President Wilson by the senate.
 When told of General Crozier's tes- tmony, Secretary Baker said the sen ate committee was properly seeking all information as to what was oeins done by the war department lie de- clined to comment on the statement as to machine guns further than to sav that the Browning gun was new waepon approved by the special board he appointed to consider the question of light machine guns for the troops and that the entire capacity of the country for producing satisfactory weapons is under contract.

JUST LIKE ANY OTHER BOY
Long:Heid Idea That Preachers Sons" Generally Turn Out Bad Is
 Mere Fooiishness.

A reader of the New York Herald who writes as one of them calls at tention in the letter column to the interesting fact that both of the great political parties have selected for leadership that much maligned per- son, the preachers son." The fla ther of MT. Wilson was 6 Presbyteri- an. clergyman. The father of MT. Hughes was clergyman of the Bap- tist church.
 It is an interesting coincidence, one that should prove pretty effective in disposing of the idea that the ''preacher's son" is headed for the gallows- any of that worn, old su' perstition still persists.
 There never was anything to 1t from the beginning. Its foundation was assumption that the son of a minister should be something alto gether angelic, with wings in full feather. Nine times out of ten he is just as human as any other boy, and just because he is he gets a bad name.
 Instead of being an object of sym pathy and solicitude the preachers son is being to be envied. Early in life he has to 'get out and hustle" for himself. It is "hustling" that brings success in this great republic

ONE INDUSTRY AIDED BY WAR
Given a Decided impetus-Best Wood Comes From Italy.

The war has given an impetus to the brier-pipe manufacture, which as a commercial industry in England had its inception in 1859, though it's age on the continent antedated that period considerably. The French white heath (Erica arborea), whose roots furnish the pipe material, f1ourishes in all countries bordering upon the Mediterranean and grows to a height of 3S to 45 inches. Around Florence, Italy, it is the custom to cut the long, tough, young shoots each year, bind them together, and sell them for use in sweeping street, in cities and towns. Outside of this, the plant is allowed to grow for three or four years, when the roots will have developed sufficiently to permit cutting them, enough of the plant be- ing left to permit cuttings every three years. The roots most in de- mand for pipe-making, certain aroma and brightness of wood being she test, are those obtained from the Tuscan Maremme in the neighbor- hood of Follonica, Cecina and Gros- seto. They are preferred by manu- facturers to those from any other part of Italy, or from Algeria or the Orient. Most of the land in the Tus- can Maremme growing these roots is owned by French and British con- cerns, who maintain warehouses and workshops on or near their lands where the roots are washed, boiled and roughly shaped, after which they are sorted by size, color and quality,
