The plan is to operate the ships with

merchant fleet. Those who do not wish
to enlist would be shifted to the South
American and Pacific trades. although
officials believe the great majority are
ready to enter the naval service.
A greater part of the American mer-
chant marine already is engaged in
overseas service and virtually all. Of
the new ships coming from the ways
will be put into the trade. 1t is estimat-

RIFLES
ARE MADE DAILY
OUTPUT of New Pattern, Accept.
ed in August, Rushed
Hurry Work on French
Field Guns.

Washington, ID. c.. Nov. 30.-Secre-
tary Baker, of the war department, said
today that in his judgment American
troops now in Franco or to be sent
there will have an adequate supply of
artillery to back them up. In addition
to the guns purchased from France,
emergency orders for American artil-
lery for Pershing's command are be-
ing filled rapidly by all the factories
capable of making them. Meantime
steps have been taken to arrange for
the manufacture of guns of the French
pattern on q large scale in this country.
Their is a striking similarity between
the situation regarding heavy ordnance
and the situation which originally
existed in the matter of small arms for
the army. Although this country broke
relations with Germany in February,
practically assuring q state of war. it
vas not until August of this year that
the manufacture of rifles for the army
on a pattern satisfactory for perma-
nent use was begun.
1000 Rifles Made Daily.
At present these rifles are being
turned out at a rate variously esti-
und the output is increasing rapidly.
It is b.lie cd certain that this output
will fully equip all troops moving
abroad and assist in equipping gradu-
ally those still at home.
With respect to ordnance the original
situation differed in TIC fact that con-
Cress pro. ided only a meager reserve
of field guns and that branch of the
service has had to make up more
ground. At the outsc: the army ar
ranged with the French government
for the purchase of 1000 French "75s"
tc back up Pershing's command and it
drew literally on the navy for heavy
ordnance. Since that time the output
of three-inok guns. corresponding to
the French "75s," has been materially
increased.
Improve Machine Guns.
For the manufacture Of French field
guns in this country large factories are
in course of erection. n several i'm
mense contracts ave already been let.
by the time the factories are ready
the government expects to be ready to
supply them with designs and gauges.
Some of the larger factories will build
only certain parts Of these guns. which
will then be sent to a central assem-
bling point and put together rapidly.
At present a number Of factories are
turning out these guns in billets which
are being sem. abroad for completion.
With reference to machine guns,
factories making these necessary
weapons have been retained at work
ut full capacity and steps have been
taken to bring about the manufacture
of an improved gun VI American make
equal or superior to the rapid fire
gnn now y general use on the French
'front.'.
