81 have seen in the newspapers that
our taking of guns and ammunition
from France is taking what she can It
spare. I say that Joffre, Tardieu and
also General Bridges of the British mis-
sion told me that we are not taking
from England and France anything that
they need.
"We are, on the other hand, keeping
their plants going, expediting the arm
ing of our forces and saving tonnage
much needed for other purposes"
Production Increasing
Baker read letters to show artillery
production is increasing in this coun-
try.
"This month we are getting 620
seventy five millimeter guns from
France in making "a in our own fac
tories. By December, 1918, Wen make
430 of these guns a month and the
French output will dwindle correspond
ingly.
1--WE II make 300 three inch anti-air-
craft guns a month by December 1918"
Confidential Figures.
Baker submitted figures to the com
mittee, which he asked be kept conf
Dental. They gave further data on the
artillery output.
"In view of what have told you,"
said Baker, "I am prepared to say
that the American army in France and
the army to be there-and we have a
large army there and a much larger one
will be there-will be fully provided
with the kind of artillery of the types
they want"
Illustrating the magnitude of the ar
tillery and shell production of the I'm
tied States. Baker said that whereas
Great Britain placed ordnance and shell
contracts in this country totalling ST.
308,000,000, in three years, the United
States let shell contracts totalling more
than 81, 100000, in seven months.
tions going full blast for our allies" +"
said Baker, "and we had to intrrude
our needs so as not to hamper our allies
and at the same time get the maximum
for ourselves.
Senator Frelinghuysen asked whether
Baker knew that the country's shell
production capacity had been reduced
25 per cent.
Baker said he did not know.
"You ought to know" said Senator
Reed.
"I can find out" replied Baker.
Frelinghysen said he is informed
that shell factories have been dis
mantled.
"That." said Baker, "probably is
due to the fact that machinery from
some of these factories has been sent
to England.
Shortage of Clothing
Turning to the question of clothing,
Baker said he had never denied short
ages of clothing

was temporary. There were two alter
natives. Either we could get into camp
and work out details. or we could wait
until the last detail had been worked
out.
"We decided to summon the men to
camp as fast as they could be taken
care of. It's well enough that we le-
layed calling out certain sections of
drafted men, to allow fuller prepara-
tion.
"The temporary shortages have been
for the most part remedied. "
Baker paid high tribute to the
response labor made in getting the
army clothed properly and promptly.

At last the time has arrived for the
opening of the new Wheatley-Provi-
dent Hospital. And it promises to be
one of the greatest occasions that
Kansas City has ever witnessed. The
Committed has been as busy as bees
completing arrangements, installing
furniture and fixtures, beautifying the
premises and completing hundred
and one things necessary for the final
opening, and assures the public that
everything will be ready for the oc-
casion. With pleasant weather, the
most conservative estimate of the
number who will attend is 5000, while
many predict that there will be from
10000 to $4,000 Colored people in at
tendance Many physicians through
out the Southwest have written that
they will be here for the occasion and
special preparations are being made
for their entertainment. DR.. Daniel ii.
Williams, the famous surgeon of Chi
cago, ILL.,, will be present as the special
guest of the Medical Society and Will
possibly hold the first clinic in the
new institution. DR.. Bullock, health
commissioner. and his staff of physi-
clans visited the institution last week
and were amazed by what they saw
and unhesitatingly pronounced it to
be one of the most beautiful and COM
plete institutions of it's kind in this
country, which should make every Ne
gro feel proud. You can only appre-
ciate it's beauty and completeness by
seeing it for yourself, and remember
it stands as a lasting monument to
the unity and energy of the Negro
citizens of Greater Kansas City. Many
clubs have furnished rooms or made
substantial donations of needful equip
ment to the institution and Miss Ida
Porter very modest and unassuming
young woman, fitted up the library
and superintendent Office out of her
owns funds at an expense of $1S5.
Hats off to Miss Porter.
