CAN'T SUPPLY
GUNSFOROWN
MEN ABROAD

France will have to supply artil-
iery for the American armies abroad,
because Of inability OF the United
States to supply the guns, the War
Department has just announced.
The official statement announced
1t would be useless for this country
to try to build guns fast enough, and
that the comparatively few now /
hand would be used for training the
new armies.
In effect, this means the money
spent by the Ordnance Bureau of the
War Department in experimenting
and perfecting American guns will
be wasted, because the French gun
will be taken over billy.
French Ammunition.
French type of ammunition must be
used and American gunners must
learn to handle the French field pieces.
The decision OF the War Department
virtually eliminates the ordnance bu-

The War Bureau already has an
nounced that the Springfield rife,
which this Government perfected and
considered the best gun of its char

Immediately and the British rife will
be ussd, because this country has no
facilities with which to turn them out
fast enough.
The shelving Of American artillery
and the American rife leaves the Colt
automatic revolver virtually the only
accepted weapon which the United
States troops will use abroad.

STUFF RESUMPTION

about sixty-day jail sentences a week

and the twelve were not arrested.

Suffer From Heat.
For exactly one hour, the twelve
suffrage pickets held their banners
and perspired, for the sun shone with
a tropic herceness and the sidewalk
reflected the heat with blistering In
tensity.
Then the rumor began to be circu-
lated by the police that an anti-draft
picketing demonstration was being
planned, and rather than run the risk
OF being involved In q rival stunt"
the twelve hauled In their banners
and went back to Headquarters
The suffragettes were suspicious Of
a police trick in this warning, but
inasmuch as they believed they had
proven their numerous trial conten-
lions that police interference had
caused traffic congestion, rather than
the demonstration itself, they hauled
