PLAN TO TRAIN ARMY q MONTHS
General crozier Says Long Training Is
Unnecessary.

Washington-Americ troops are to
be transported to France just as fast
as boats can be supplied to carry them.
Brig. Gen. William CroZier, chief
ordnance OF the army, indicated in his
testimony before the committee on APP
preparations respecting the S5,000,000,-
900 urgent deficiency bill.
Gen. Crozier made several things
clear. First, that the army officers are
not worrying over a shortage of small
arms or ammunition equipment for the
troops to be sent abroad.
Second. that four months training
in this country, with supplementary
course In France, is regarded as suf-
ficlent to fit the greenest men for the
firing line, and drafted men will be
sent as rapidly as possible after the
militia units.
Third, that there is a shortage OF
transportation facilities that now
promises to delay sending troops to
Europe after they are ready for SER
vice.
General Gre 7ier in the course OF his
testimony made the following state
ment in regard to the length OF time
for training the ney army. I'VE have
been informed recently that the period
of training at home which has been
found desirable for English troops,
now that they can get training In
France, has been much curtailed and
takes no longer than three or four
months. In some cases it has been
cut down to not more than half that
time"

Oistillers Ready to Quit.

Big distillers appear ready to quit
for all time. The food control act re-
mains in effect only during the war
Afterward, providing national prohibi-
ton does not become a reality in the
meantime, the distillers may reopen
their plants. But 1t is doubtful IL they
will risk new investments in an enter
prise that may come under the govern
mental ban at any moment. 1t will be
up to the brewers TO fight the battle
against prohibition alone henceforth.
BY the time the war is over. ii is ex-
pected that most of the distilleries will
be converted into factories for the
manufacture of other products. About
5000 distillery employees are affected.
Large Supply On Hand.
The government loses an annual
revenue of more than $3.50 100000 by
the Punishment of the distilleTies. To
Offset this. it is asserted enough food
stuffs will be diverted annually to 9th
er uses to feed 100000 persons.
The food control act does not pro-
hibit the sale of whisky, but only the
manufacture and Importation. A large
quantity of whisky is on hand and I'M
less the government commanders for
use in the manufacture of munitions
under authority given by the food con-
troll act. it will be long time before
the supply runs out.
One estimate is that the stock now
on hand will last for two years. The
whisky drinking public will be able to
appease its thirst for that time al
though prices will soar as the supply
diminishes.
