Plenty Of Rifles in Ter Days.
So nearly has the war department
caught up in the rifle shortage for its
men in training, General Crozier, chief
OF ordnance. testified today, before the
senate military affairs committee that
within ten days there will be enough
rifles for every man in camp. After
that, the general said, 1t would depend
upon the railroads as to when the men
got the weapons.
General Crozier thought all the 50o,-
900 ment in the draft training camps
would have their rifles within six
weeks He asserted that the output
would be rushed after that to provide
equipment for the new men to be put
in training soon. He gave 1t as his
opinion that the government had done
well to overcome the shortage in this
time.
As to machine guns. General Crozier
could not promise any deliveries of the
Browning gun-the newly adopted offi-
cial machine gun for the American
larmy-until late in March. Not until
July, he said, would there be an appre-
ciable output OF this weapon. Contin-
gents going to France meantime would
depend upon the French for their pfin.

Major Gen. Goethals. the newly APP

OF the army, who has taken up his new
and colossal duties in the war depart
ment, has reached the point in his sur
vey OF the needs of the situation where
steps are being taken to apply radical
remedies. The first OF his recommen-
dations was acted on by the secretary
Of war today when orders were Issued
for communicating the great piers
and warehouses Of the Bush Terminal
in New York City.
Thru this action these piers and
warehouses pass Immediately under
the control OF the war department and
notifilcation 20. this effect was given
today 90 the Head OF the concern. They
will be used az warehouses for the vast
sa6r&s Of the army being sent to New
York for shipment to France for use by
the army Of General Pershing. and are
expected TO result IN prompt improve
ment in the supply situation OF the
army.
The facilities Of the Bush terminal
will make It possible for the govern
ment to concentrate its supplies in the
warehouses which are adjacent to the
piers where the supply ships will be
loaded. Mr.. Bush said that 1t would
be necessary FOR business houses hav-
ing merchandise In the Bush ware
houses to remove their goods to other
storage places and the leases under
which various steamship lines made
use Of the Bush piers would have to be
Cancelled for the time being At least.

WAR SUMMARY.

The Franco-Americsn troops, con-
tinuing their pressure on the Ger
mans in retreat from the Marne,
have reached and crossed the ourcq
river and penetrated the town Of
Ferre.en- -Tardenois, one of the Ger
man supply bases for the enemy
troops inside the soissons- Rheims sa-
lient.
Meantime, on the center Of the
allied right wing, southwest OF
Rheims, violent attacks by the French
forced the enemy to give further
ground and the French captured
towns Of strategic value, appreciabiy
nearer the high road which runs. north
from Dormans to Rheims -.-
On the extreme wings Of the grad
ually decreasing poeket--near Sois-
sons and Rheims-the enemy, heavily
reinforced. is holding. .tenaneiously
to his ground. realizing that successes
there would result in a general
crumbling Of his plans Of defense
against the locking up Of his entire
armies inside the big bag. In ad-
dition TO the large number Of troops
for reinforcement that have been
thrown on these two sectors, the
German long range guns from the
region Of scissors and north and
northeast Of Rheims are keeping both
wings Of the salient under an en-
fankling FIRE.
Under the battering tactics Of the
Americans and French, the Germans
in the south have now been driven
back more than IL -|-s from the
point Of Chateau Thierry where the
allied troops locked ~ door to Paris

The military critics Of the vossis-
che Zeitung Of Berlin admits that
"an American danger is facing" the
Germans. He declares that the Ger.
mans cannot allow the war to drag
on into the years i9i9-i92O because
Of the American millions. He ex-
presses the view that the present bat
tie must end in a preliminary decis-
ion. This decision appears already
to have been reached by the Fight Of
ths Huns from the battlefield.

Daily. the funerals leave the city

cemetery dedicated to Americans by
the city Of Suresnes, located on a hill
on the west Of Paris overlooking the

and historic military attire march
forth to the funeral to bestow Fran

roes. and though no volley is fired
because it is forbidden by the French
authorities. the American bugler
sounds "taps" with impressive ton

A service is first held in the little
chapel in the hospital Protestants
chaplains ofiisatk over the dead Of
their faith and Catholic over theirs.
The hospital organization such as

the service.
The bodies are borne from the
chapel to waiting ponderous army mo-

and the marines form an escort. As
each body is brought to the convey

have been placed upon their military
bier, the procession TO the cemetery
starts. At the head are the chaplains
