way on all the others, including both
the Browning air-cooled and aviation
types. which have just been put under
machine production this month.
Deliveries of all guns are AHEAD of
schedule.
The schedule in American shops
calls for 5,1O guns in January. 800 in
February, S.400 in March. $3.50 in April,
10000 in May and 1880 in June. The
falling off in June is due to the fact
that Nickers guns will be completed
in May. Deliveries of 5000 additional
Ntckcrs guns are not included in the
schedule.
When the great plants now getting
under way reach their maximum ca
pacity-which will be within the next
few months-we will be able to turn
out these weapons at a rate well above
$4,000 per year. Yet our total machine
gun capacity when We entered the
war, including that developed here
for the allies, was less than $1,000 guns
annually.

in the speedy start of the work thiS
year.
All Vacant Lots Wanted.
Mr.. ColIaday put in a plea for all

creased demand for space over last

1t is to be hoped that the response

of patriotism as the season ad-
vances."

The Interpreter

In relations between
peoples speaking differ
ent languages, and
especially when such
peoples are co-opera-
ting as allies, competent
interpreters are the first
essential in intelligent
cooperation.
The first qualification
of the interpreter, is to
know not only the Ian
guage but the different
viewpoints and mental
habits of each people
to whom he acts as
interpreter.
Essential aid to the har-
monious solution of the
worlds present menacing
problems can be extended
by encouraging the circula-
ton and distribution of The
Christian Science Monitor,
the interpreter of those
ideals toward which the
world is being so rapidly
impelled.
The Christian Science
Monitor, published in
Boston, arrives in Wash
ington each morning and is
distributed by mail or
through newsdealers.
Sample copies will be

By The Associated Press.)

Frenzied counter attacks by the foe have failed to hold back the British and French armies who are hard after the Germans on the seventy five mile battle front from the north of Arras to the region of Sossons. All along the front the German line has given way before the pressure of the British and French troops at points where the falling back of the enemy or the cap ture of towns and roads running east ward adds greatly to his already ser ious predicament from the standpoint of strategy.
 Numerous towns, villages and ham lets have fallen into the hands of the British and French in the continual tion of the fighting, and scarcely any where along the battle front have the Germans been able to do more than delay the allies when they knock for admittance to the German line.
