Program Delayed For Months.

aircraft production, there has been USE
less and costly experimenting with es-
tablished and known designs for guns
and gun carriages with a view. to tnrn-
| ing out something that would be ex-
clusively American and "beat the
world"
! This policy, which at last has been
abandoned, it is shown, has delayed
the ordnance program for months. with
! the result that very few guns have
been completed and quantity produc-
ton will not come until the, late sum-
mer on some designs and not until next
spring on the heavy 9.2-inch howitzers.
The committee has discovered that
UP to the present time the actual pro-
lduction of 92-inch howitzers, S.inch
howitzers, and 6-inch howitzers. for
which there is such pressing demand,
has been practically negligible. 1t is
worse with respect to the "heavies"
than with regard to the 6-inch pieces,
enough.
How Time Was Wasted.
Besides slow production of guns
there has been even a more serious
collapse in the production of gun car
Iriages. Fatal delay in this has come
because of the departments striving
to improve already approved and work.
able designs of gun carriages in use
by the French and British. Months
have been wasted by the ordnance de-
partment, it is declared, in attempting
to design a standard American gun
carriage for each Of the three heavy
, n thu ord II ho lie,
closed the department was forced to re-
turn to the European designs.
The ub-committee now finds the de-
partment is going ahead with gun car
riage production according to the
French and British lines which they
were urged to adopt months ago. Frac-
tically half a year, it is pointed out,
has thus been wasted in useless expert
ments.
Already the sub committee has de-
veloped that the production of heavy
artillery for field use will be insufficient
to make certain the use Of single gun
of American manufacture in the three
heavy grades during the midsummer
and autumn fighting of 1918.
| 1t is possible the committee finds
that some of the 6-inch howitzers may
be delivered for use In the late summer
lor early fall, and it Is not altogether
impossible that some of the 8.7-inch
lhowitzerI may be ready for delivery
toward the close Of the year. But it
lis declared to be practical certainty
THAT the roar Of an American made 9.2
gun, heaviest of the field howitzer
class. will not be heard on European
Ibattlefields before the beginning of the
spring campaign in 1919.
Tools Are Obsolete.
| Another discovery that has been
made Is that some Of the machine tools
used in the government arsenals are
practically obsolete when compared
with those in use in private ordnance
plants. In rife groove cutting, for ex-
ample. it has been found machine
lin use in the Bethlehem steel plant
lrifes the core of gun barrel in ex-
actly one sixth of the time employed
! to cut the grooves with machinery used
at Wateryiiet, the government plant.

Washington, May 9.--Disclosures Of
delay in the production Of heavy ord
nance for the American army will
awaken the country in the same way
as did the airplane fiasco, according to
senators who are in touch with the
secret investigation now being made
by a senate subcommittee on military
affairs, headed by Senator Hitchcock.
Worse than the aircraft situation"
said a senator who has looked into the
disclosures already made in the in
quiry. THE state Of affairs that has
been permitted to develop in the guam
tity production of field artillery for the
United States will startle the country,
in my estimation.
The investigation now going on is
already productive Of information
which, to say the least, reveals ineffl-
ciency."

JOY CITY FOR AMERICAN
 SOLDIERS.

Somewhere ir the south of France is town which is popularly known among the allied armies as the Sam mics Joy City,"
 Before the Americans went into the war the Joy City was thriving little French town, whose chief indus try was that of the wine trade. It was communicated six months ago with the sanction of the French au- thorities b ythe United States War department. Now, it is still thriv- ing, though in different way.
 In little more than six months time a city has sprung up which is destin- cd to be the playground of an army. The United States does not propose to allow her soldiers to incur temp tation while on leave, and it was for the purpose of preventing this that the Joy City was built.
 When an American soldier gets his leave he is paid off and, if he has no 1CldClOuo U1 uO uCIAllCO ollolO 1Ol amusing himself during his vacition, he is sent to the Joy City, where ample means of recreation are to his hand.
 Here he can find his "home toWn," as he would call it, brought right up to him. If he is a New Yorker, Philadelphian, Chicagoan, or Boston ian, if he halls from Denver, St. Paul, San Francisco, Atlanta, or, in fact, from any of. the larger cities of the United States, he will find in the Joy City all the old pleasures of town life in which he was formerly went to in- dulge.
 The fox-trotting cabarets, for in- stance, of which the Ne wYorker is 50 fond, are present in the Joy City in all their gray splendor-all, that is, with the exception of alcoholic liquor, for that is strictly forbidden.
 Neither is the feminine presence forgotten. For in the cabarets the soldiers have partners for their dances in the nurses and charming Ameri- can girl helpers, who have been sent there for that purpose. And the wholesome atmosphere of the Y. M. c. A. pervades all.
 For those who do not care to dance
  Or to ride on a switch-back or throw balls at the African dodger, there are more dignified amusements. Joy City has large library stocked with all the latest books.

MEMBERS OF SELECTIVE BOARDS COMMENDED

The war department telegraphed the Arkansas adjutant-generaPs de- partment that since last September the local boards of the country have sent forward total of 1895, ,708 men, including the June draft, now report ing. In forwarding this telegram to the local boards, Adjutant- General England adds:
 "These results not have been accom- plished except through the devoted and unselfish labor of patriotic men The local and district boards have scored unprecedented triumph and have earned the nudying gratitude o1 the nation. Their achievement is one of the greatest successes of the war They have already produced as sol diers one man out of every six regis trants and the world stands in pro- found astonishment as it views this accomplishment. They have been tried and found true, and so long as this war may last our people are hap py in the complete assurance that this great organization will net fail the nation"
 The members of the selective boards were highly commended also by Provost Marshall General Crow der, who mentioned the debt of grati- tude that the nation owes the mel serving on the boards.
 Members of the two Jefferson boards have also received praise iron army officers, who have said tha these boards have given them les' trouble than any in the state, due t. the care in which have selected tn man examined for physical defects
 The duty performed by member of the selective boards are difficult and sometimes disagreeable. Tn Jefferson boards have made enviabl records, displaying absolute i'm partially, and being guided always b. conscientious regard for the duty t the nation and the rights of the ir ,dividual under the law.
 Jefferson is fortunate in possess ing citizens of such high character of willingness to serve in difficul capacities.

German Language Should Not be
 Taught or Used, Declares C. of C.
Trustees of Commercial Or ganizaton Petition School Board to Bar German-Will Erect Sign at Fourth
 and Main-Complime mt Stanley Dreyfus.

That the German language should not be taught in the schools of Pine Bluff: that there should be created a strong sentiment fer a one-language nation, and that advestisers and read CTS of other enemy nations, were de- clarations contained in resolutions adopted yesterday by the board of trustees of the Chamber of Commerce
 Thetrustees, also adopted resolutions commenting D. Stanley Dreyfus for accepting service with the Red Cross, and congratulating the organization upon securing the services of MT. Dreyfus.
 Frank B. Tomlinson and T. Haynes Gregory we're appointed committee to cooperate with George H. Adams of the Rotary club and E. B. Bloom of the Chamber of Commerce in pro- curing site for a landing station for aviators from Ebert's field, the trustees taking the view that since Pine Bluff has been designated as a landing station it would injure the in- terests of the city should it fail to provide the ground required. It was pointed out that it is probably that the city will apply for some govern 1 menty industry in the future, ano that failure to furnish the land fol the aviators probably would serve as a handicap.
 To Advertise City.
 The trustees approved suggestion to place large signboard at the cor. ner of Fourth and Main, to be illumi mated at night, and named w. L. Matt hews, who offered the suggestion, J Frank Franey, Mayor Simon Bloom T. F. Gadberry and Walter Wilkins as a committee to arrange for the board and to receive and act upon sugges tions as to the slogan or advertising matter to appear thereon. That i would be entirely proper to place Jefferson county's war record on tn, board has been suggested. The coun try's record would inspire others, i was declared, and would put the coun ty before travellers in it's true light.
