BROWNING, THE GUN MAN
RECORD OF INVENTIONS
FIREARM WIZARD CROWNS HIS
CAREER BY INVENTION OF
BROWNING GUN.

At last the American gun man has
appeared. His name has been in the
headlines Of the papers of late in con :
nection with the Browning machine
gun, but nobody has before risen to
answer the question: who is Brown
ing?"
Briefly he is the greatest gun gen.
ius the world has produced and per-
haps ever will produce.
A modest retiring and charming
man Of 60-odd. he has preferred to sit
in the background, draw royalties and
let someone else get the credit for his
achievements.
Born and bred in Ogden, Utah, he
still makes his home there and in a
modest but well fitted out shop car
ries on his experiments. His father
was gunsmith in Ogden in the early
days and piled his trade in a small
ming gun and practically every rapid
fire, automatic and machine gun in
successful use, worked as a young
man and secured the knowledge that
has won him fame and fortune.
Some Of His Inventions.
He is the inventor Of every rifle
that the Winchester Arms company
has produced, from the single shot
rifle to repeating rifles and the fam
GUS models 1886, 1890, 1892, 1894, 1895,
and 1897. Every new model brought
out by this company has been the pro-
duct Of the brains of John Browning.
He is the inventor of the Remington
shotgun, the Remington automatic
rifle and the inventor of the Stevens
repeating shotgun. Every gun manu-
featured by the Fabrique Rationale
of Liege. Belgium, before the war.
was on patents taken out by Brown
ing and from which he received roy
alties.
Every automatic pistol manufactur-
ed by the Colts Rapid Fire Arms COM
pany was invented by Browning. He
invented the famous Colt machine
gun. All the Colt automatic pistols
from the % caliber to the As, now the
standard of the United States army,
were his inventions.
Growing Achievement.
The great achievement of his ca
reer and the first with which he would
allow his name to become connected,
is the invention of the Browning light
machine gun and the heavier water
jacket type machine gun. These are
guns which will revolutioniZe war
fare. The light rifle. which is really
a machine gun rifle, can be carried
and fred from the shoulder as easily
as an ordinary rifle and will fire 40
shots in TX seconds.
The heavy water cooled machine
gun, which operates on a tripod, can
fire bullets as fast as it is possible for
them to follow one another from the
muzzle of the barrel In recent test
it fired $4,000 shots without missing,
functioning perfectly These are the
guns which have been adopted as the
standard for the United States army.
John Browning is an American from
the soles of his feet to the top of his
head. What is more he lives in Ogden
and draws $1,000 plus a day from roy
alties on his inventions.

Many OF his heavier state documents
the President pounds out himself at

lce hours, when Sven isn't available.
These, after correction, are turned over
to Sven for the final draft
In his dlctatlon, as in his a,deliyery
OF all formal speeches. Sven. says,,yVil-

has to call up all his skill TO keep up
with him.
Swems ambition. however, is mot !. TO
remain a confidential aid to the Pres
ident, but to become q fighting aviator
in France. He took a trip in an air
plane last spring that thoroughly de-
termined his bent. Since then he has
made a number Of flights and recently
has been insisting on trying out all the
thrilling stunts the fliers here have
been able to do.
And whenever the hum OF an airplane
soaring over the White House breaks
the quiet Of the Presidents study, the
young man al work there dreams OF
the day when his call shall come and
when he can end his confidential rela-
tlonship and carry a public message

Tie OF the Aisne is not lie d lncD al

a. The drive on the Aisne may mean
that Hindenburg has determined 10
cross the Aisne and the Vesle rivers
capture scissors and Compiegne. reach
the Marine again and march on Paris.
The fourth possibility, that OF a con-
templated march on Paris, is consid-
cred least probable for the reason that
to make this attempt would entail
greater German losses than have yet
tN~i "a NohhNN VAi even III tillo war OF
horrible slaughter
It would require a secondary series
OF attacks against the Picardy line,
for unless Hlndenburg protected his
right flank he would place his armies
In exactly the same position that Won
kluck was In on the Marine IN 1914.
when the French turned the German
left flank and forced the great retreat
10 the Aisne.
The only difference would be that
in this case 1t would be the German
right flank, rather than the left,,whlch
would be 10 the gravest danger.
There Is the greatest reason for con-
ndence in the ability OF the .Aihes to
stem the new offensive, whatever its
objective may be. Hundreds Of thou
sands Of American achievements, 10
say nothing Of the great mass OF Brit
ish and French reserves, are In the
line and ready.
The battle will be long and costly.
but the Germans will pay a price for
their victories out Of all proportion TO
their value.
