CROZIER

Brig. Gen. William Crozier. Chief
of Ordnance. authorizes the following
statement:
MY attention has been called to
published reports that there is a
shortage of rifles at the cantonments
concerns have been idle during the
summer when they might have been
engaged in manufacturing rifles.
These arms companies have not
been idle. but have been making ex-
tensive preparations for turning out
rife which would give us both a
reasonable degree of interchangea-
bility of important parts and uniform
ammunition. Two of them have be-
gun making deliveries.
1.-TWO days ago the deliveries of
these three factories and the two gov
ernment ones were 1900 rifles per
day. The deliveries now are more
than 1.300 per day and the deliveries
will progressively increase. The
third company. engaged until recent
ly on British contracts, is practically
ready to begin deliveries.
81 may also say that whenever a
soldier is ready to go to Europe-that
is, when he is trained and equipped
in~every other way-a modern rife
will he ready for him.
''At the outset of the war It was
fully recognized and explained that
we could pursue two courses either
experience perfectly endurable de-
lay and produce rifle with inter-
changeable parts to use a standard
ammunition, or produce, rifles more
rapidly but without interchangeable
ity of parts and incapable OF using
a uniform ammunition.

Appeals to Newspapers.

Il am going to request you and every
newspaper and every news agency in
the United States not to print any
news about the arrival of ships or when
any of them will sail for European
ports. There is no power of censorship
have any authority over the press. In
this time of national emergency, / feel
sure that every newspaper Will accede
to the request not to even give a hint
or speculation of the sailing of Ameri-
can ships. Such publication might re-
suit in the loss of life. AS the reasons
there is confidence in administration
circles that this request will be COM
piled with by every paper in the coun-
try.
"All patriotic Americans are ready to
make sacrifice for their country in
times of emergency. The press can
render the highest patriotic service by
refraining from printing at this time
what ordinarily they would freely
print
"Inasmuch as it will be impossible
to reach every paper and news agency
directly. l will ask all papers to carry
this request. which is made an ap-
peal to patriotism, to all journalists
and disseminators of news. The best
news the readers can have is that the
America to the freedom of the seas
The publication of details can serve no
good purpose, and might jeopardiZe
human life. All readers will surely
applaud the papers in responding to
this appeal"

s572,0o0,000 AUTHORIZED

One of the most important things that
could be done by the coming special ses-
sion of Congress is to direct financial
legisla ton so that their will be a patri-
otic appeal to the people of the country
in the matter of the purchase of the hun
dreds of millions of dollars worth of
bonds TO be issued by the government
THIS Is the view of many members of
Congress now in Washington; and as ex-
pressed by Representative Moore of
Pennsylvania, member of the ways and
means committee. regardless of the ac-
ton of the federal reserve board in modi-
flying its November boycott on foreign
bonds. the American people will soon
have the opportunity to purchase Ameri
can bonds, and American investors ought
TO keep that in mind
Further. he said: Members of Congress
who have had experience in such matters
are determined that whatever bonds are
to be issued will be of Il sort in which
there can be no juggling and that when
people buy them there will not be a later
issue at d higher rate of interest
