MODERN RIFLE FOR EVERY MAN SAILING;

every other way-a modern rifle will be ready for him.
 At the outset of the war it was fully recognized and explained that we could pursue two courses-either ex- perience a perfectly endura b1e delay and produce rife with interchange- able parts, to use standard ammuni. tion, or produce rifles more rapidly but without interchangeability of parts and incapable of using uniform ammuni- tion. By waiting two or three months we have not only obtained one-am- 'munition rife, but rife with parts which may be interchanged quickly on the battlefelds of Europe and which may be turned out by three factories in this country. The ordnance bureau is<wflling to stand on this basis, inas- much as every soldier will be supplied a rife of that type when he starts for France.
 There are now at each of the can tonments 5000 rifles suitable for drill- ing purposes. A rifle to each man is not imperative for purposes of drill, as the companies can drill at different ours. The main thing isl to supply rifles when the trained men are ready tt leave, and such rifles will be rapidly turned out now by three factories and two government; factories, which have equipped themselves during the sum- mer for the work and can supply the rifles in sufficient numbers at the re- quired time.''

are purely European, outside of en- forcing a regard for Americas deter imitation that the rights of small peo- pies shall be respected. In his war address to Congress he said that terri tortal readjustments should be made with respect for the grouping of na- tionalities. The French government has promised the Czech -Slovaks an Independent nation. Many plans have been advanced for the solution of the Balkan problems. In thes olution of all such problems the President wishes Colonel House to see that America takes no step in the dark in any ad- vice she may wish to give to the European nations about the settle ment of these problems. The allied nations approval of the Presidents 8 reply to the Pope's peace proposals was an earnest of their intention to give to the United States a large voice in the settlement of peace questions.
 As the United States is fighting by the side of the Allies, without treaties of alliance to bind her, so she will speak at the peace table with the AL lies, but without being bound by the action of any other nation, and not without being able to decide for her self. She Is getting ready for the job.
 Such is the task put upon Colonel House. He and the President are un- derstood to have talked 1t over on the recent trip of the Mayf1ower to Colonel Houses home at Magnolia, Mass. It is the biggest job the quiet man from Texas ever had Colonel. House does not intend to be one the American peace commissioners.
