MAKE GUNS UP TO
 IS INCH CALTBRE

Washington, Dec. 7.-The army arsenal at Watervliet, N. Y, is now equipped to manufacture guns up to IS inches calibre, Major General c. c. Williams, chief of ordnance, said today in his annual report to the sec retary of war. No details were giv- en to indicate whether construction of this large type of ordnance is con- templated.
 During the fiscal year covered by the report 16,000 contracts were let for material valued at five billions of dollars, 4,000 manufacturers partici- pating.
 Funds expended in the develop ment of manufacturing facilities to- tailed $420,000,000. Satisfactory pro- gress has been made, the report says in the erection of nitrate plants which will render this country independent of the Chilean supply. Production from one of these four plants will soon reach 22,00O tons per year.

Like previous reports it is a long, shocking record of brutality and cal lous neglect A typical extract from testimony given by prisoners who es- capped to British or sFrench lines, follows:
 Several prisoners died of starva- tion at Ramcourt. Later deaths of starvation became even more numer- ous. When I left Bazancourt about 150 men were suffering badly from dysentery and half of them were mere living skeletons. There was lot of sickness at Cappey caused from lack of fdod and exposure No at tempt was made to remedy these conditions"
 Large numbers of prisoners no longer fit to work behind the Ger man lines were sent to Heilsberg, East Prussia, or Trelon, in Prussiah Poland. A witness, describing the ar rival of about 300 of these prison CTS at Heilsberg early in October. says they were mostly stretcher cases and were taken to the hospital, but | many of those sent to the camp wera
 
 saSE youths of 20 looked like men | 40 years old.
 At Trelon, which is supposed to be hospital for prisoners disabled while i working on the western front, condi- 1 tions were even worse. The place vas supposed to accommodate 400, but there were about 1000 there. There was but one doctor in attend ance on the men, many of whom were 1 in shocking condition. i The second report, dated October 1 28, says the conclusion was reached l that events in the camps attached to 1 the Tenth army corps point to de- 1 liberate policy of vindictiveness, with 1 definite purpose of reducing the 1 health of officer prisoners. It is said this impulse sprang from responsible German authorities and was directed by them. The war ministry did not
 interfere for the alleged reason that it had no authority over the comman-
 der of any army corps. The com
 mittee says this seems a mere pre- tense.

 Kurt Eisner, the Bavarian premier, probably will succeed pr. W. S. Solf, as foreign minister Negotiations on the subject are proceeding between Berlin and Munich. according to the Cologne Gazette, quoted in an Am sterdam dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph.
 Amsterdam, Friday, Dec. 6-The disarming of Field Marshal von Mack ensen's army has begun in Hungary according to a Berlin dispatch re- ceived here. The soldiers will not be interned, but will be permitted to cross the frontier. They are selling their motor cars, horses and their equipment cheaply.

Reliable reports say the disburse- ments of these councils for the past ] two weeks have totaI1ed S0O,UOO,00O marks. If this rate of expense con- tinues to be the usual cost of operat- 1 ing the government, it will exceed the total German budget, with it's enor-
 nous outlay for military Upkeep by several times.
 The Bavarian Gazette says the
 money difficulties of the councils con-
 stantly are growing more acute. The financial problem was simple in the
 beginning because, it is said, the sol
 diers occupied state buildings, which
 were heated and lighted by the olt
 staff and requisitioned state autonIo- piles. When money needs arose, how
 ever, difficulties began, says the news. paper, which at first were met by in. dividual well-wishers, but now have become so urgent that serious conse l quences are threatened.
