U. s. MAKES 100000
 RIFLES DURING WAR
Daily duction for Week Ending February 5, Was 7,SOo EnfeIds
 and ,442 SprinsfieldS.

Washington, Feb. 23.--Seven hun : produced in the country since this country entered the war, says an es- timatc made public today by the ord nance bureau.
 During the week ending February ,, the daily production was 7,SO5 En- fields and 1,442 Springfelds or a total of 9.247 service rifles added to the stock every day. In addition the government received 13,155 Russian army rifles during the week, making q total weekly rifle output of 72, 152 W eapons of this class.
 Summarizing the work on rifles, is shown that $400,00o,000 is being spent for that arm alone and that 200 army officers, S0,000 men and 10,- 900 women are employed in the mak- ing of rifles and cartridges. There are two government and three private plants making rifles and one govern ment and nine private making cart ridges.
 It is pointed out the modified En- field rifle has been fully tested and more than justifies the claims made for it. As to its accuracy of fire, 1t is noted that a regiment of colored troops made A out of a possible 50 score with this weapon at short range, although many of the men had never fired a military rifle be- fore

RISkED STEAMER AND
 DODGED U.BOA7 FLEET
Captain of Italian Liner Guided Vessel Through
 Uncharted Channel.

An Atlantic Port, Feb. 23.-How liner, the Dante Alighieri, lodged a fleet of submarines in the Mediter- ranean by venturing a midnight pas- sage through an uncharted channel between d small island and the Span ish coast was related by passengers of the ship on her arrival here today.
 The wisdom of the captains move was demonstrated the following morning, they said when life boats were sighted carrying passengers and crews of three torpedoed ves- sels out of a convoy of five which the Dante AHghieri had passed only two hours before the captain decided to risk wrecking his ship in the chan mel rather than take chances with the U-boats.
 The names of the three ships sent to the bottom were the Duca di Gen. ova, the Vile de Verdun and the Ca prera, all Italian. The presence of the submarines in their path was learned by the master of the Dante Ahghieri through wireless warning. The lift boats were not picked up as they were within a few miles of the Spanish coast and the occupants Signalled that they preferred to land.
 The passage through the unlighted dangerous channel, only 300 feet wide, was made after the master of the liner had notified all his passengers of the danger. The steerage passen- gers comprising the majority, were brought to the cabin decks, life belts were distributed, boats partly lowered and all preparations made to aban- don the vessel should she strike the rocks.
 Captain D. M. Nicoll and several of the crew of the American steamship Suruga, torpedoed December 20 off the Italian coast, were among the Dante's passengers He said his ship was one of four tOrpedoed within 20 minutes out of co convoy of five. He succeeded in beaching her, and when he left Italy the task of ref1oating her was under way. He brought home the propeller blade of the Ger man torpedo as a souvenir.

Capture of Jericho Strategic Victory

Capture of Jericho Strategic Victory
 London, Feb. 23.-Much import ance is attached to the arrival of the British on the banks of the Jordan. it is learned from an authoritative source. Gen. AlIenby's advance from Jerusalem was carried out under difficulties. It was made during heavy rains when the British had to march over hills comparable only to masses of slippery soap.
 Possession of Jericho is an import ant step toward establishing touch between the British and their Arab allies. The British will be in direct contact with the Arabs for the first time and will bring relief to them as they fought long and hard contests against superior enemy numbers.
 Gen. Allenby's force is now en- camped along the Jordan, which probably is fairly high. It is a swift deep and narrow stream with very trcacherous current and is in a coun- try which will supply food and fod- der. With the latest advance, the British position is quite we'll defined. The right flank rests on the Dead Sea and the left on the Mediterranean, so if the enemy wishes to attack he can only make a frontal assault. The British now control the Dead Sea and have access to the rich lands cast of the sea. hey also menace the railway running toward Ma1nscus. while the country has better roads than that around JcrusalCm.
 Capture of Jericho. the military correspondent of the Daily Telc- graphs says. dcprivcs the enemy of one of the chief local points in his defensive scheme in Palestine.

The board can take no further action unless it's offer is ac- cepted or official notification that & strike is impending is received from the mayor.
