ORDNANCE And

TO Be PROBED
Both Have Fallen Down,
Testimony Before Com

FAILURE IN PROMISES
Accomplishments Short IN
All Cases, Ordnance
Head Admits.

Testimony indicating that ne
War Departments ordnance pro-
gram has fallen down TO practi-
cally the same extent as aircraft
production was placed before the
House Military Committee yester-
day.
Maj. Gen. Tracy c. Dickson, the
ordnance production chief, who ap-
peared to ask appropriations OF
S3,378. .3o2, Sol, admitted that in moi
one single particular are accom-
plishnents up to promises.
He testified that production oi
heavy Browning machine guns,
counted on as a chief weapon OF
infantry, is practically at stand
still. Although hundreds OF them
should be on their way to France,
he admitted, the number actually
delivered is negligible"
Investigate Colts.
\ War Department investigation.
he said, is now under way at the
Colt Munitions Works as to why this
concern, the chief contractor. has
been unable to make deliveries as
promised Until the department Id :
finished this inquiry, Dixon asked that
the committee take no action.
He was asked by the committee to
furnish il a complete report of what
contracts have been let; who holds
them; the terms of the agreements
and why the contractors have NOT
been held up to their agreements.
To Build Big Guns.
Gen. Dickson told cf plans for build
ing batteries of 16-inch hOwitzers. a
some what larger gun than the Ger
man machines that hattened the
fortresses Of Belgium. This marks a
new policy by the War Department.
Under the Crozier administration. the
War Department held that 1t needed
no such calibeFs, Crozier himeslf in
sisting many times that IL inch
gun was large enough for any use.
Chairman Dent, with the consent
Of Maj. Gen. March. acting Chief of
stan. made public today the three
largest items Of the pending bill, as
follows:
Quartermaster. $50, 81. .3S5.
Aircraft, $1.100.OOO.C
Ordnance. $3.3TS. .302. sol.
Plans Progressing.
Dixon said that plans for the
hight Browning guns were progress
ing fairly well. Counting the fact
that French and English are sup
plying American troops who are
brisaded with them all necessary
guns. there is no serious shortage
Cost of these, however. like those
of the heavier models, is about 25
per cent over estimates.
He was subjected to sharp ques-
tioning over his request for 25O.OOO
machine guns for aircraft. Com
mittee members pointed out that the
highest estimate yet made of air
planes in service Is 1900. most OF
them furnished by the French and
Bnglish. Dixon s4id that produc-
ton would greatly increase the next
few months.
Failure UnexpIai.sd.
Ordnance Department officials ex-
planned later in the day. whan told of
the evidence given before the House
committee, that the Colt Company had
been delayed by failure to obtain
tools for use in the Iathes and other
machines used in turning out the
heavy guns It was suggested that
the shortage In skilled mechanics 40
counted for the failure Of the Colt
Company to obtain tools, but no ex-
PLANTATION was Forthcoming as to the
failure OF the Ordnance Department,

London, May 6.-The honors Of
the day on the Somme and Lys
battlehelds were again with the
allies. No large scale infantry ae-
ton was fought anywhere, but
several important Strengthening
out operations were undertaken
which will make their effect felt
upon the foe when he unleashes
his legions for a new lunge.
Battering down stubborn Ger
man resistance Australian units
thrust their lines forward to a
depth OF 200 yards on a front of
a mile, between the Ancre and
the Somme, about half way be-
tween the latter stream and Al
bert. This front has been, for the
Germans, the nastiest position
they have got themselves into
since March 2I and every yard
gained by the British makes il
worse.
AUSTRALIANS CAPTURE 400.
1t is this front also that held
against the Teuton onslaushts
after Coughs Fifth Army had
crumbled away, and it is here that
the British could launch counter
attack with the greatest promise
, of success when the time is ripe.
Tonight's reports from headquar-
ters say 200 prisoners were taken
in the Australian success. The
German losses are described in the
day report as having been heavy,
while the British casualties were

The best answer to German
peace propaganda is sinking more
U-boats. sending more men to
France. speeding up our work
along every lire. and a heavy
subscription to the Fourth Liber-
ty Loan. Peace must mean the
triumph of right and justice, the

No Covenanted Peace With
Germany.

America, unless we repudiate
civilization and aban Ion humanity
and put a premium on savagery
and brutality, can make no Gov
enanted pe eac', no peace by agree
ment or negotiation with Germa-
ny. 1t would be covenant with
hell, a partnership with infamy.
Nor would such a peace secure
peace, except SO long as it suited
Germany. We can judge the fu-
ture cnly by the past, and to
Germany sacred treaties are like
scraps of paper only. Germany's
whole history is a record of ma
tional treachery. national bad
f~ith, national dishonor. national
..arder and national infamy.

Dear Sir:
promised to write you and
give you my address after / ar
rived in camp. so here goes.
We arrived at the camp about
8 o'clock on the morning of the
!: 3lst, we took the preliminary ex-
animation and were assigned to
our quarters. We did nothing
Saturday. but Sunday we took
the physical examination.
Monday morning I was put on
K. P. (kitchen policc) all day. at
about 4p. m. we were all taken
over to the infrmary and given
our first vaccination and inocula-
tion, we have two yet 10 take
one. week apart, that means one
tomorrow and one the next Mon
day.
After each inoculation (or shot
we have "a hours rest, to recu-
perate in. Several Of the boys
were SO sick that they had to be
taken to the hospital after the
first shot, they say that one out
of the 3 taxes effect and makes a
man awfully sick, if so, l still
mine coming, because the first
-one did not affect me in the least
During the first inoculatlon (or
2l dsys) we are under strict
quarantine, and cannot leave the
barracks, but we get nearly ev-
~erything we need by serdirg to
the canteen by some older soldier
who is not under quarantine.
Wednesday we wele all taken
over and given our final examin-
alton and mustered into the U. S
N. A., then we signed up our in
.surance papers and went back t.,
the barracks. Wednesday nigh,
we were issued our clothing
which consisted of 2prs shoes,
1 per dress, 1per drill, 5 pr socks
::2pr cotton 3 woolen, three under
shirts, 8 woolen blankets, 3pr
drawers. 2or trousers, 2 shirts. l
hat, l blouse or coat, l suit union
alls, 1 raincoat and l overcoat..
80 you see we are well supplied
with clothing. also belt. tt
Thursday afternoon % Of us
were trs n ,ferred here to the 76,h
.Inft, and several other lunches
of boys were transferred 70 ma
chine gun divisions and other
companies.
Frank Jelinek and Harry Orr.

time l was. but I heard that they
were to be transferred the ne. t
day. Frank going as M. r..
military police. and Harry to the
1st Ipfh am going to try an
find thsus Ms soon as we are out
of quarantine.
Since Thursday we have been
receiving drill instruction and
have heard several good lectures
on military discipline and courte-
sy and care of the body.
Each man has his individual
steel cot or bunk with a straw
mattress and he is supposed to
keep the floor cleaned up around
his bunk, he is also compelled t.
shave Mt least 3 tim. a week,
take q bath at least once every
day and keep his clothes washed
clean
We have a damp. smoky atmos
phere here, that does not seem
to agree with me. as have a cold

are about Is miles from Tacoma.
and between 80 and SO feet above

for this time, SO will say good
