There are in, this country pacifists
who are rcallyspro-G Germans, working
as earnestly al anybody can for the
kaiser. But d ere are also pacitists
who abhor the kaiser and are gen.
timely opposed to war. ~
The unfortu ate thing about these
good people they are taking the
very step that will defeat their
dream
BY talking Of peace now they play
directly into he kaiser's hands. A
peace now Ypuld be premature

stantly talking and German publicists
writing.
A peace such as the honest pacilists
in this country are now talking of
would be the seed of many future
wars.
1t would be more than that. 1t
would be the cause of the greatest
development of militarism the world
ever saw. ..
Nations would all be armed camps
France would not dare allow her citi-
zens to return to peaceful pursuits
England would not dare dismiss her
soldiers to their old industrial life
Our own country would not be able
TO return to the old status.
On the other hand, it would be an
imperative necessity for us to keep
in our army millions of youths against
the Armageddon sure to be Embossed
upon civilization the moment the Ho.
nc3zollcrns felt able to renew the con.
f,ict
And what would this state of armed
preparedness bring in it's train? Does
any thinking man believe 1t would
moan more liberty, more democracy
in tho world?
When nations sleep on their arms,
liberty and democracy go by the
boards.
Tho tendency in France, in Eng.
land, in Italy, in this country would
be TO make the military paramount.
Instead Of less, there would be more
restrictions for the ordinary citizen.
There would be constant tendency
To center power in the hands of one
man or of small group of men.
Everything would be sacrificed for the
Que great object-safety from the Ho-
hcnzollerns.
The conclusion is, therefore, newt
able. The convinced and honest pa.
cifst, far from crying for an early
cessation .of hostilities, should de
Inand that his country and its allies
push this war to victorious conclu-
sion. Only when Germany is thor.
oughly beaten, only when the wicked
Hohenzollern tribe is endorsed only
when it is shown that militarism and
war-making do not pay, will it lie pos
sible to have q world in which peace
rcigns and ornaments can be reduced.

have been delivered shortly after the
9th day Of April?
Crozier: There were not any due ior
delivery until. as | remember, he
summer Of 1917, so all along during
the spring Of 1917 we were not getting
any machine guns.
Chairman: That was not because OF
lack of appropriations, General
Crozier: No, sir. -
Chairman: Was the delay in the
manufacture of machine guns due ~
any time TO the lack Of appropriaAons
You had a large appropriation IN 1919
you had not yet adopted a gum ana
the large appropriations when were
made in 1917 did not have to be USED
for the delivery Of machine guns!
Crozier: That is true.
Chairman: Now, general, let me ASK
You this: I still do not understand tbs
delav. The necessity Of machine gun
was recognized in the Mexican war; we
were practically unprovided, were we
not? -. ON
Crozier: Yes. sir; we had TO buy 3oV
of those guns. with British ammunition
and use them with British ammunition
down on the border.
Chairman: The ordnance department
then realizes the importance and tne
necessity Of the machine gun
Crozier: Yes. sir. r.;
Chairman: Because they we're oeing
utilized generally along the freneh
and German front?
Crozier: Yes, sir.
New-York tribune., 1917-12-14
Other Factories Able
To Manufacture Guns

Wadsworth: Did that involve the de-
lay in the supply of machine guns to
our army in the changes that had to be
made in that one factory at Utica?
Crozier: Yes, sir; it made some de-
lay. However. that was to a certain
extent compensated for by the fact that
other factories making guns that did
use our ammunition were enabled TO
go right on.
Weeks: Machine guns?
Crozier: Machine guns, yes. One
factory was making a machine gun
known as the Vickers gun, which is a
most excellent weapon. There is an
other factory which has made guns.
The Marlin factory makes Colt guns,
using our ammunition, of which we
have bought a considerable number and
are intending to use them for training
purposes here. They are in the hands
of the troops now.
Chairman: Was not some of that de-
lay in the production of machine guns
due to the quarrel in the War Depart
ment about the type of gun which
ought to be adopted. the Lewis gun and
the Vickers, and other guns that were
under discussion? Was that not the
New-York tribune., 1917-12-14
Orders for Manufacture
Placed by Government

Chairman: You say there was some
appropriation for your department un-
expended in October, 1916, and that the
appropriation made in 1916 for the
War Department was still unexpended
when war was declared. What had the
War Department been doing TO provide
itself, having the appropriation in part,
with ordnance, small arms and ammu-
milton prior 10 the declaration of war?
Crozier: II had been placing orders
for manufacture under the government
establishment and private establish
ments out of the funds which had been
appropriated. OF course the actual eX-
Denditure Of those funds takes place
very considerable time after the plac-
ing Of the order. IL takes a long time
20 place 100000, 600 worth of orders,
and IL takes longer time TO place a
billion dollars worth Of orders.
Hitchcock: Congress declared war as
soon as the President asked for it.
Now, that 100000, 900 having been APP
propriated, why was it not used? Why
didn't we begin 10 get the ordnance
we needed at once? Why is it that,
nine months after the beginning of the
New-York tribune., 1917-12-14
Lewis Gun Adopted
For Training Purposes

The Lewis gun, according to General
CroZier's testimony, was adopted only
for airplanes and for training purposes
in this country. The Browning gun is
our preferred type Of gun, both in
heavy and light sizes. Many arms fac
tories, of which the general gave a list.
are being converted TO its manufacture.
Arrangements are being made for
quantity production. Yet the general
testified that this gun, on which we
are banking so heavily, is virtually an
untried type Of gun. II has never had
n field test. Two Of the guns, probably
one Of each size, have been tried out in
an arsenal.
Senator Wadsworth started the sub
ject Of the machine gun after General
Crozier had been testifying for long
time about the changes he had made in
the Enfield rife, which resulted in cut
ting down the productive capacity of
the plants turn 1g out Enfelds in this
country so much that even now, accord
ing TO the general. il is only a little
more than one-half Of what IL was
when war started. Senator Wadsworth
asked II the Remembering Of the En-
fields 20 ~ our ammunition, involving
IS II did reehambering of the machine
sans being psde here. had not been
responsible FOR delay in making ma
chine guns.
This subject OF the rsehambering Of
the rifles is familiar 70 the Tribune
readers. Il has. resulted in cutting
down Of the allotment Of rifles 10 men
in France from five 10 two rifles TO each
soldier. IL has made rifles scarce at
environments and deferred target prac-
tiee. The Endelds are just arriving at
the camps. General Crozier insisted
that the changes had been justified
New-York tribune., 1917-12-14
Utility Disregarded
ForPerfect Gun

II was typical Of General Crozier's
testimony that he said that at the pe-
ginning of the war the Lewis gun was
good enough TO use" II IS what the
British used. and il could have been got
al once Mt the rate of ] 800 month,
and. OF course, the capacity OF manu-
Tacture could have been increased. bu'
good enough" would not do. The ora
nance Department or Secretary BAKER
has q soul above mere utility. Two
months wait took place. There was
test. Another gun was adopted, OF
which the first will be produced III
April, 1918.
Failure with regard TO machine guns
is a habit with our War Department.
In 1918 it couldn't make up ITS mind
what kinds of machine guns 10 use
The inability TO reach decision con-
tinued in 1914 and 1915. In 1Sl6 the
plan was adopted 20 reach a decision
after test in May, 1917. war came
before May. but the test was not has
+enod Neither was a short cut 10
action resorted to and a type proved
in practice abroad and ready for guam
titv production at once adopted out OF
hand. The test came. It's results were
reached in June. Two months after
war was declared gun was adopted.
Meanwhile money had been available
for months. 1t waited the appearance
Of the perfect gun. 1t was not lack OF
appropriations this time, the favorite
excuse of the War Department, which
held up production. Congress in Au-
gust. 1916, appropriated for machine
guns SlOO, 100000. One hundred mill
ION dollars will buy 10000 to 1900
machine guns-about one-third Of what
The army of 100000 which we shall
have in France next spring will need.
New-York tribune., 1917-12-14
One Appropriation
Made in August, 1916

Crozier: There was one appropris-
ton. a considerable one. think 1t
was the first considerable appropria-
tion that was made in the act OF Au-
gust 20. 1916.
McKellar: And no part of that ap-
preparation had been utilized for guns
until-in the way Of the actual Sc
curing Of the machine guns, up until
April, after the war was declared? =,
Crozier: Part Of il had been allotted
to the manufacture of the Fickers
gun at the Colt factory.
McKellar: But no guns had been Sc
cured?
Crozier: No guns had been secured.
McKellar: What had the War De-
partment done toward securing these
guns within those eight months pre-
vious 10 the war? What steps had they
taken?
Crozer: The principal step which
had been taken was TO set time for
competitive test of machine guns for
the purpose of determining a definite
production of a model. This time was
set for May, 1917, and that is when the
test was made.
McKelar: That was after the war
had begun?
Crozier: II turned out to be after
the time il had begun.

essary 20 develop capacity, 10 take care
of tools. preparation with regard TO the
new things and you experiment with II
TO see if il is all right, and to get the
troublesome things out OF 1t, the time
consumed is tremendous.
Wadsworth: There has been consid-
erable delay in training troops in this
country?
Crozier: None that is going to in
terfere IN the least.
Wadsworth: You think the scarcity
of rifles has not delayed It'll
Crozier: 4 do not think IT has
amounted to anything at ali.
Hitchcock: How much experience
have these men had with these rifles
before they go over?
Crozier: Quite sufficient.
Hitchcock: Are there not hundreds
Of thousands without rifles?
Crozier: No, sir; there are not
thousands who have not rifles.
Hitchcock: VIII you tell the com
mittee how many there are in the va
rious cantonments?
Crozier: / am verging closely on that
which should not be made public.
Hitchcock: | do not think there is
any objection 30 stating how many
rifles there are in each cantonment.
Crozier: There are now about 10000
rifles Of the Krag-Jorgensen model at
each one of the National Army canton
ments. Considerably more than one
man can use one rife in training. IL ls
not convenient, of course. but they can
drill at different hours. Nobody drllls
all day. There are other exercises
that they have TO go through, and
there are other things that have TO De
learned. Usually troops are in tram
ing some time before they get rihes at
all.
Hitchcock: Could it have been as
late as October before some OF these
rifles were delivered?
Crozier: Yes, sir; | suspect IT was.
Hitchcock: Up 70 that time Is 1t true
the men had nothing but wooden guns
Crozier: At first a number OF the
men did not have anything but wooden
rifles. That was corrected promptly.
That has not made and IS not gong
to make any difference in the time IN
which an effective army OF trained
soldiers can be got to the theatre OF
war. unless we greatly enlarge the army
moro rapidlv than is now contemplated.
Wadsworth: Was there any ammu-
pition for the Krag-Jorgensen rifles2
Crozier: There was none that was
suitable. There was on hand some am
munition for those rifles, but naturally
it was quite old. The present rifles had
Loen in use since about 1902 or 1903.
or course. we did not go on manufactur-
:ao obsolete ammunition, and this am
munition had become somewhat un-
trustworthy, so that il was not consid-
oled advisable TO use IT.
Wadsworth: Was it unfit for target
practice?
Crozier: It would have been liable to
accident. Senator. 1t was considered
very desirable to avoid that. Some ac-
cidcnts had occurred from poor ammu-
milton.
Hitchcock: So that these Krag-Jor-
gensens could not be used for any
purpose except for carrying them and
drilling with them?
Crozier: For bayonet exercises. and
so forth. They could not be used for
target practice.
