Lewis Gun Not Success

Switching to the criticism of the
ordinance department for its failure tt
provide machine guns, particularly
Lewis guns, General Crozicr declared
the Lewis gun never proved satisfac
tory in tests until May II, this year
"Though the Lewis gun, as 'manu'
featured for Great Britain proved
highly effective, the guns of this type
offered this government did not prove
so. Why this is so is a question
can't answer said Crozier.
When war was declared upon Ger
many, Crozier said, all but 100000
of 100000 dollars previously APP
propriated for machine guns had been
spent through eontmets for machine
guns and automatic rifles
On April 10, on Crozier's recon-
mendation, the $l,50O,OO0 was invested
in Lewis guns which Crozier said had
been greatly improved since its earlier
reflections.
Not Offered by Lewis.
"There is no record that Colonel
Lewis. inventor of this gun. ever Of
fered his gun TO this government free
or at any price" declared Crozier.
THE only offer Of this gun was made
through the Automatic Arms company.
The company wrote after the Lewis
gun had been rejected that it was en-
tirely satisfied with the tests"
This statement was in answer to
Colonel Lewis statement that he had
repeatedly offered his gun free to the
but that offer had never
been accepted Crozier also denied
that he had opposed adoption of a
range finder invented by Lewis. He
said he urged adoption Of this range
finder, although the government had
to spend several thousand dollars per
feeting this invention before il was
ussble.
Many Machine Guns.
More than 100000 machine guns now
are under order, Crozier stated, $4,000
Of them from French manufacturers.
Deliveries of these will insure perfect
equipment of all American troops
abroad with both heavy machine guns

STANDARD GRADE
MADE FOR potatoes Oh.
Effort Made to Eliminate
Operations of Commission
Who CinCh Growers

The public service commission has es-
tablished 4 standard grade for potatoes
which viii be made public today, and
will go into effect in ten days, on JAN
Uary 10, 1918. For some time there has
been complaint among Oregon potato
growers that potatoes that were of good
quality wRen they left the grower, some
how turned up at the other end of the
roue as no up O grade, and in con
sequence the commission men grabbed
tho whole thing and there was nothing
left for the grower. This graft had be-
e9me 20 common, and the Oregon grow
er proved such an easy mark, that no
matter what the grade of potatoes sent
they were valueless when they reach
ed the markets. It is to overcome this
aud to standardize grades that the new
order is made. Under it there viii be
an inspector named for each potato
growing district, who viii inspect the
ears aud certify as to grades. The grades
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1917-12-31

adopted by the commission are the two
United States grades, and in addition
Clancy Oregon" which is still q
higher grade than any the government
has established. This is necessary be-
cause Oregon raises a grade of potatoes
superior to any grown elsewhere, and
the "Oregon Fancy" is these topnotch-
ers. Last year there were more than T.
600 carloads of potatoes shipped from
the state, and it can be seen from this
how necessary it is to have grades es-
be protected from the commission shark.
Recently several car loads sent to Tex
as, and they were good potatoes too,
failed to ct the grower a cent. The com
mission man simply reported them "not
up to grade'', sold them as the very
best, and pocketed the proceeds. The es-
tablishing of the grades will put an
end to this practice as the grades will
lie officially declared before they leave
the state, instead of being fixed by the
commission men at the receiving point.

The mediation board asked McAdoo

The railroads will not figure in the

Many passenger coaches will be con-

Government officials today asked the
public to be patient with federal con

quire careful thought. To do away with
