BIGGEST GUN PLANT
HoWitzers and Shells to Be Made
in Great Quantities.
Steel Corporation to Build Biggest
Ordnance Plant in World at
Cost of SIS, 100000.

New York.-The largest ordnance
plant in the world will be built for the
American government by the United
States Steel Corporation. This plant,
costing $75,000,O00, will exceed In size
and capacity the monster Krupp
works, on which Germany now depends
for her main supply of big guns and
ammunition.
Judge Ebert Fl. Gary, chairman of
the Steel Corporation, announcing the
undertaking of this work, indicated
that the shift in the Steel Corporation
policy not to manufacture munitions
was due only to persuasion of the war
department "that it was imperatively
required under existing conditions"
Chairman Gary in a statement said
the plant would be constructed as
quickly and economically as possible.
He said the project was undertaken
only on representation of the war de-
partment that it was imperatively re-
quired.

LLOYD GEORGE UPHELD
British Premier Victor Over
Maurice Charges by 1877 Votes.
British Line Extended at French In
sistence Before Council
Discussed 1t.

London.-Premier Lloyd George beat
even all his own records as crisis
master In his counter attack against
the offensive Of Gen. Frederick B. Maui
rice In the house of commons. The
house by vote of. 293 to JOG rejected
the motion of former Prime Minister
Herbert H. Asquith that a select COM
mittee of that body should Investigate
General Maurice's charges that the
war cabinet had deceived the nation
as to the condition of the army in
France.
The vote involved the fate of the
government, since Mr. Asquith had evil
IDENTIFY concluded that he would be able
to form another cabinet If he could
overthrow Mr.. Lloyd George.
There was no crisis left when the
premier was half through his speech,
and before he had ended there was
nothing of General Maurice left ex-
cept a very discredited name. Mr..
Asquith refrained from prejudicing
the house Of commons in any way and
ON the whole adopted very gingerly
tone, but, having leaned on a broken
reed, he came down with it.
But who could have thought that an
able, cool headed, highly experienced
soldier official would have impugned
the accuracy of statements which he
himself was responsible for supplying;
which he never thought Of impugning
until he was superseded in his post,
although he was in daily contact with
the premier in the course Of his duties
at the war cabinet, or who woull have
stated that he was present at the Ver-
sailles council when the decision to
lengthen the British line was taken,
whereas that decision was agreed be-
tween Haig and Petain before ANY
Versailles council ever met. and Oh
the occasion when the decision was
ratified there Maurice was not present
at all?
These were incalculable Improbable
ties. seeing the career and the repu-
Triton of Maurice. He seemingly lost
his head when he lost his job.
The premier has greatly strengthen
cd his position by his handling OF this
ap; .arently thorny matter. When the
premier began TO speak it was evident
he faced a house largely dubious, If
not suspicious, but before he sat down
he had it cheering vociferously.

There is',every indication that they

disposal of General Foch before the
summer campaign ends.
With the shipping program making
big headway, 1t is believed that of the
2,250,O00 Americans now under arms
more than 100000 will be classed as
fighting troops in France long before
the end of the year.
! Newton q. Baker. secretary of war,
authorized the statement that more
than 100000 American soldiers are
now in active service in France, full
filling his promise made before the
Senate Committee on. Military Affairs
in January that half a million men
would be IN France "early in the year."
The statement by the secretary Of
war reads:
"In January I told the senate COM
mittee that there was strong likelihood
that early in the present year 100000
American troops would be dispatched
to France. I cannot either now or
perhaps later discuss the number Of
American troops In France, but / ain
glad to be able to say that the forecast
/ made in January has been surpass-
ed"
The secretary made 1t plain that he
would not amplify that statement, nor
would he answer any questions con-
cerning the probable number Of troops
to be sent to France in the future.
1t is known that every soldier In
France has been fully equipped before
he was sent and that ample supplies
had preceded him to France to main-
tain him In fighting condition.
The secretary Of war indicated to
the senate committee In January that
the only limitation on the number Of
troops to be sent to the battle front
was that of shipping. There Is no lim-
it on the man power of the country,
anu Illeu are " DS CdlIeu W llIC SoioiS
as fast as they can be equipped and
sent abroad.
: Officers in charge Of the transporta-
.tion of soldiers recently have express
ed much satisfaction with the progress
made, and there is feeling that
much larger force is being sent than
was believed to be possible a few
months ago.
The question of ordnance does not
now enter into the movement Of the
American army to the front. It Is the
problem of the United States to pro-
vide man power, and the country is do
ing that with limitless infantrymen
who are completely equipped and thor
oughly drilled. They are ready for the
firing front soon after reaching France.
