PLAN BIG APPROPRIATION
FOR ARTILLERY PROGRAM
War Departments Deficiency Bill
Proposes Vast Sum for Guns and
Ammunition.

A great artillery program for wagins
the war against Germany will be pro-
vided for in the coming three-billion-
dollar general deficiency appropriation
bill to be considered next week by the
House appropriation committee. Out OF
the three billion total. approximately
two billions are to be asked to provide
for guns and ammunition and other ar
tillery equipment in anticipation Of use
in the event Of another call for a mil
lion men to go to Europe.
These estimates have not yet been re-
ce1ved by Congress, but War Depart
ment omctals have generally indicated
to congressional leaders their plans in
this respect. and will outline them
formally during the hearings to be held
by the House appropriations commit
tee next week.
The purpose Is to be prepared. the
government realizing that staggering
sums and staggering appropriations will

full conclusion.
Other Plans Intended.
Among the other plans intended to be
provided for in the big deficiency bill, the
draft OF which Is already being prepared
by the committee experts. with some of
the lesser estimates already in, will be the
financing OF plants to make war NUM-
,1on aoo for for which between 100000 and
pose Of this is to enable these plants to
be conducted. according to present plans
unoff1cially communicated. by private en-
terprfses. able to put in equipment that
they would not be warranted in putting in
themselves. because of the expense, in
view of the fact that the equipment
would be Of little use to them after the
war Is over.
While the private enterprise would
operate them. the government would
get the benefit of getting the NUM-
lions manufactured and with greater
efficiency and economy and could have
the equipment in its own right for all
purposes after the war.
The hearings before the appropria-
ton committee beginning Monday will
be conducted with the greatest secrecy,
because Of the confidential character Of
the details. They will begin with the
minor matter, because the bulkier esti-
mates have not yet been completed.
