Factories. Released by
British, Still Idle

Three American factories, which were
released by the British government at
the beginning of the war, might have
been turning out rifles for the National
Army ever since war was declared, at
a rate that would eventually have
reached $500 a day. have been idle all
summer,
When the United States entered the
war it possessed 100000 Springfelds,
including all IN the hands of the reg
ular army. the National Guard and in
reserve.
It's two arsenals. at Springfield,
Mass. and Rock Island, Ill, had a
maximum capacity of 100000 service
rifles a year, provided enough skilled
mechanics could be found to run them
twenty-four hours a day.
Modern standards of warfare require
that every fighting man he provided
with at least two rifles when he goes
into action. Thereafter he must be
supplied with a new weapon every two
and a half months, according to figures
compiled by the British experts.
The authorized war strength OF the
regualr army and Guard is about 7OO,-
900. Discounting those branches Of the
service which do not bear arms, 1t was
obvious that the government arsenals
would be hard put to it to keep these
two lines of the country's defenders
SUPPLIED with rifles.

The chances that Mayor Mitchell

IAN NJ. Bennett, his opponent in the
,-;naries, made material gains in al
NOS, every Assembly District, including
,hs eerly districts in Brooklyn, as the
,rspeetion Of the primary ballots pro-
eeedsd
The Mayors official plurality of 3S5
VAS wiped out with the counting Of
,bs 18th Assembly District ballots in
Manhattan. Then the Bennett gains
kept climbing with persistent regular
i,y until ne had reached more than the
,lurality credited to the Mayor in the
frst count.
Early this morning Mr.. Bennett's lead
was 454. This included the inspection
Of the ballots in al of the Assembly dis
,rjc,s in Manhattan and The Bronx, five
Assembly districts in Brooklyn, two dis
;ricts in Queens and one in Richmond.
Mr Bennett lost three in the lst As

thee in the I'd District. In the Sd
District he gained eight. In the sth
Assembly District in The Bronx Mr..
Mitchell gained six In the I'd Assem-

Problem for
Ordnance Board

Where were the rifles for the Ma
tional Army to be raised under the Sc
lective service act?
The members of the Board Of Ord
nance and Fertilization in April Of this
wear were Major General Hugh l..
Scott, president; Major General Eras-
mus NJ. Weaver, Brigadier Generals
William Crozier and William NJ.
Black, Colonel Ira A. Hayes and Lieu
tenant Colonel Charles p. Summerall;
John K. Thornton, civilian member,
and Captain Alvin b. Barber, recorder.
Major General Scott is no longer
president of the board. having been
succeeded upon his retirement from
active service by Major General Tas-
ker II. Bliss when the latter assumed
duties as chief of staff.
Confronted by war, two courses
lay open to the War Department.
Either it could equip private plants
with the tools necessary for the manu-
facture of Springfelds, or it could COM
mand the output Of factories which had
been turning out rifles for the British.
The first course would have entailed
the building Of new and delicate ma
chinery on large scale. The time
factor was ali important. Obviously,
the shortest cut to rifles lay in the sec
ond course. Three factories were fully
equipped for turning out rifles of the
Enfield type, and were turning them out
for the British government at the rate
of about 5000 day.
These three factories were:
The Winchester Repeating Arms
Company, at New Haven, Conn.
The Remington Arms Company, at
llon. y. y.
The Eddystone Company, at Eddy
stone. Penn.
