 ARMY MUNITIONS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-In an in formal summary of the army muni- tions situation today, Assistant Secre- tary Crowell, director of munitions. in- dicated that rapid progress was being made in the production of rifles, ma chine guns and some types of artillery. In a majority of the 24 plants at work on artillery contracts, however, he said, the flow of manufacture had not yet reached the production stage.
 The output of 155 millimetre howitz- CTS is an exception to this rule, ap- proximately 25O weapons of this caliber having been shipped to France.
 The contract made with the United States Steel corporation, which is erecting and will operate the plant for the government, without profit for the company, contemplates an expenditure of $150, 100000
 Browning Production Increases. The flow of Browning machine guns from the plants is increasing rapidly. From 5000 to 1000 heavy and from 5000 to 5000 light Brownings a month are now being delivered. MT. Crowell said. or enough to meet all require ments in France. Later on it will be | possible to supply large numbers of | these weapons for training in the United States.
 So far no report has come showing divisions equipped with the Browning guns have been in action, but a large part of the army in France is supplied | with these.
 | Tractor Output Low.
 The output of artillery tractors has reached about 1,200 month, MT Crowells figures showed. He regarded it as still far below the rate of pro- duction desired.
 There is no shortage of powder and no shortage in quartermaster's sup plies. The rifle production, MT. Crowel said, is about 100000 month and the output of revolvers and pistols ranges from 50,000 to 60,000 month. It is ex- pected they will be increased shortly.
 MT. Crowell said the new government plant on Neville island was designed to make largest caliber high powe guns and will turn out nothing smaller than 14-inch rifles.

a number of crews of German howit- gers captured were standing around their guns which they had blown up. Others complained they had had notn- ing to eat for four days because of tine Reorganization at their rear.
 Had No Ammunition
 Lack of German shell fire was ex- plained in many instances when gun ners captured said they had no ammu- milton. Many times, they said, they could have fired with open sights into the advancing British, but they had no shells and could not get any. The fighting this afternoon seems to be more vigorous along the northern part of the Hindenburg line than else where. The British are sweeping along astride it from the point where 1t joined the Drocourt line at QueaDt. Considerable progress is reported and large numbers of Germans have been | killed or taken prisoner. Thousands of | prisoners are coming into the cages. One army had 5000 Germans in it's cages this forenoon. How many ma ! chine guns were captured will not be known for many days, but there were i thousands.
 All Sorts of Prisoners The prisoners were of all sorts. in- cluding cavalrymen who had been dis mounted and fought as infantrymen. The hard pressed German commanders took men from anywhere, no matter what they were supposed to be doing and put them in the line with rifles and machine guns in an effort to stem the tide.
 How many dead there are it is i'm possible even to estimate. The scene of the battle in many places shows that the Germans suffered terrible losses. The German formations which opposed the British have been literally torn to pieces. and the tearing stil continues along the Hindenburg line and to the south.
