Al

,ury said, was Ia speed up that al
ready ordered and in process OF
manufacture"
Rritish and French theory of artil-
l,ry usage differs. he said. adding
We had to decide for ourselves
what we should use"
Army experts were sent abroad 10
study the question. Fairly IN June II
waS irtimatcd that France could sup
ply artillery for American forces,
then going to France. without cur
failing her own forces. Captain
Tardicu. French high commissioner.
opened the subject.
"On July l3 or L." Mr.. Baker con-
tinucd. AN agreement was made py
" whch the French government agreed
to supply the principal pieces of 10
nm field guns and l55-mm rapid
fire huwitZcrS needed for the Amer
lean forces being sent abroad.
You thought It was better to use
the French factories instead OF wait
ing TO build our own, asked Senator
Reed.
Exactly" Secretary Baker replied.
Also il saved tonnage. And I'm tell
ing no secrets when | say that SHIPS
are the crux of this problem and ev-
cry time We can use French indus
trial resources instead of making aud
sending our own products we are DO
ing it,
Secretary Baker produced tele-
gram from Major General RlisS. chief
of staff. when the war council was
abroad, rcciting the unanimous
agreement of the inter-allicd military
representatives for American forces
Ia secure artillery from England ana
France for all American forces sent
abroad this year and aS long there
after as possible.
Referring to Colonel Houses mill

1T was their task tn find out from

rescntativeS: How can America con-
tribute most t.. the early winning of
this war;

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1918-02-01
Allies Have Surplus.

one nf the answers was for more
rapid expedition Of American forces
to Europe. 1t was agreed that both
England and France have surplus
ordnance. ordnance ammunition and
manufacturing capacity.
Il have seen in the newspapers.
Mr.. Pakrr continued. that this is
putting n burden OH France. l say to
YOU. gentlemen. that Marshal Johre
and his associates, General Bridges
and all his associates Of Great Brit
ain and in fact all persons of COM
missions that have come TO TINS
country with any knowledge OF con-
ditions. all bring me the confidence
and positive assurance that we are
not only not taking from England
and France the things that they need
but are helping their industrial pro-
ceSses and saving tonnage. and max
ing proper co-ordinated milltarE el-
forts with our allies"
Statistics OF manufacture in this
country of artillery were given by
Secretary Baker. some publicly and
some to the committee in confidence.
He said for example. that the first
three-inch anti-aircraft gun was de-
Rvered this month and that its pro-
duction is rising steadily" to an es-
innate of 800 per month maximum.
Senator Frelinghuysen said he un--
dcrstood the shell making capacity OF
the country had dropped IS per cent
after the United States entered the
war. the war department having per-
mitted plants to 70 out Of business
and be dismantled.
Secretary Baker said he had no
information on that point, but would
obtain il for the committee. He sug-
gested that plants built and owned
by the British government might
have been dismantled and shipped to
fEngland.
Senator Sutherland said negro
preacher had told him that his son.
at Camp Meade. Nd. had been sup
piled with CASTOR clothing OF white
soldiers and no woolen underclothing.
