tBy Associated Press.l

Washington. Dec. 31.-The senate
war inquiry again was turned to the
ordnance situation when Major Gen.
eral Crozier was permitted TO take
the stand again today to reply TO
recent statements made by Colonel
Isaac Lewis, inventor of the Lewis
machine gun, rejected by the war
department in favor Of the Browning
type.
Before beginning General Crozier
asked to be put under oath and then
read a prepared statement dealing
first with borrowing artillery from
the allies for General Pershing's s
forces.
Desire to make Americas forces
Of actual aid on the lighting front as
soon as possible was a prime factor,
General Crozier said. in the artillery
loans from France. Correspondence
was produced in which M. Tardieu.
OF the French high command, asked
the war department to order French
artillery and that French deliveries
exceeded the number promised.
Conferences between the heads of
the British, French and American
governments abroad regarding furn-
ishing OF artillery to Americas fore
es were recited by General Crozier.
He produced a letter from General
Bliss, chief of staff, stating that
British and French munitions heads
had formally assured him that their
artillery and ammunition production
had so increased that they would be
able to completely equip all Ameri-
can forces arriving abroad IN 1918.
Whole Country To Blame.
'T am not attempting TO excuse
the situation that requires US to de-
pend on our friends for heavy artil-
lery'', said General Crozier. "but the
responsibility rests on the whole
country.
How he had. during previous
years, often asked congress for larg-
er appropriations for artillery and
that he and other army heads had
many times called the country's at
tention to the need for more artil-
lery, was related by the general.
Machine guns. General CroZier
said, xVaNe uaNer expected to become
such an 4f1D0rtans weapon but the
Germans, realizing better than any
one else their great future. proceed
ed to secure them in quantity.
Turning to the charges that
preiudice had kept the Lewis gun
out OF American equipment, General
Crozier detailed the official records
of the department.

was received May 2. 1912, when the
