On November IL "a tanks Of the
French six-ton type had been delivered
and by January 81 of this year POI.
OF these six were shipped abroad.
Orders for 1000 Mark / light tanks
were cancelled as were orders for 49,
O15 three-ton tanks, 10 of which had
been completed on November IL.
The history of the rifle production,
including all Of the considerations
which led to the adoption of the stand
ardized British Enfield weapon for
American use, also is fully outlined.
The department states that it sees no
reason now to change its view that the
wisest course was that which was fol-
lowed The total rife production in
the United States from the beginning
of the war up to November 9, 1918,
was 2,506,307, of which a little more
than 100000 were Springfield rifles.
Pistols of U. S. Type Valuable.
Considerable attention is devoted to
the production of automatic pistols
and revolvers for the troops. Euro
pean countries failed to appreciate the
value of a large caliber, hard-hitting
weapon of the American type and the
chief use of pistols and revolvers In
European armies had been as Orna-

United States Producing Arms at
High Speed When Fight
ing Ended.
WORK OF WINNING THE war
History Of Rifle Production Shows
Great Record-Many Tanks Under
Construction When ArmIstice
Came-PistoIs Efficient.

Washington, D. C.-Machine guns
and small arms produced by the mill
lions, ammunition turned out by the
billions of rounds and tanks built by
thousands when the armistice ended
hostilities, furnish the subject of chap
ters just made public Of the war de-
partment's history of the material"
side of winning the war.
In regard to machine gun production,
about which such hot controversy
waged in congress as a result of the
failure Of the American army to adopt
for standard general use the Lewis
weapon used successfully abroad, the
report says manufacturing facilities
for machine guns in this country were
much more limited in extent than the
public had any notion of when the
United States entered the war or to-
day, and that there were at the out
break Of the war only two factories
which were actually producing ma
chine guns in any quantity at all.
Dearth Of Aircraft Guns.
The report says there was great
dearth of heavy machine guns for air
craft work, to be synchronized with
prOpellers. The Browning aircraft gun
would have met the requirements, but
it would be long time before it could
be produced in quantity. In seeking
a stop gap weapon until the Browning
could be- ready, the ordnance depart
ment, by zone of those surprising and
almost I accidental successes" some
times encountered, found that a modi-
fed Marlin gun which could be quick
ly produced met all requirements.
The work of the Brownings is de-
cIared to have been spectacular as
compared with any existing weapons
of this character. Up to November IL
the production Of Browning rifles was
52,23S, a majority Of which were in
France. In addition $4,000 Chauchat
guns had been purchased, so that
enough light automatic rifles were on
hand to supply 100 divisions, or an
army Of 100000 men. In the same
time 41,804 heavy Brownings and
enough Vickers guns had been pro-
duced to make, with the Hotchkiss
weapons purchased from the French,
a total Of 54,627 Of this type, or
enough to equip 200 divisions, or an
army Of 100000.
Other production struggles described
include items varying in size from
trench knives to the Aston Mark VIII
tanks of British design, of which 1900
were being constructed in cooperation
with the British and 1,450 additional
wholly by American enterprise.

DISOUIET Is SEEN
AMONG SLOVAKS

the vacancies left by the Slovak intel
ligencia with officials from Bohemia
and Moravia. This naturally Anglers
both the Magyarized element and those
Slovaks who are unfit bbt would like
to occupy all the jobs.
A decided sentiment for real local
autonomy is making itself felt. On
the whole, the government may not be.
opposed to granting an outspoken de-
mand for home rule in the province.
The peasants do not take much inter
est in theoretical politics. They COM
plain that the republic lasted only
three days. By this they mean that
they were allowed to plumber the Jews
for only three days in the interval be-
tween the withdrawal Of the Hungar-
ians and the arrival of the Czechs.
During this time the peasants had
a very free hand. There were very
few towns or villages, where they did
not completely clean up the Jewish
population, who are the shopkeepers
and small traders, and at times les
sors Of estates. Now the peasants have
no longer the Jews to plumber their
interest in the new state has dinin-
ished. They were kept in a state of
illiteracy by the Hungarians and
therefore are by no means ripe for,
real self-gOvernment. However, just
now they are very bitter because they
claim the Czechs take their food sup.
plies away.
BoIshevism Not Popular.
Bolshevlsm has not taken a great
grip on the peasantry. Slovakia is
largely an agricultural district and we
know farmers are always the most
conservative element. In the few in
dustrial communities in the more
mountainous north and east a certain
amount of unrest has developed. In
Knssav, far eastward, the large, mills
are not working and the food situntion
is very bad, as 1t is in most of the in
dustrial districts. Here the workmen
hold meetings and growl in bolshevik
tone. Naturally Kassav is rather near
the Hungarian border. So that hol-
shevism there would be natural. In
the other industrial districts the work
men seem to have taken out their
ciass-consciousness in making big de-
mands upon their employers. Not I'M
usual was 1t for workmen TO come 70
their employers and demand that thew
receive q percentage Of all profits ac-
crued since the wars beginning. With
all this discomfort the food situation
Is very much involved.
Generally speaking, Slovakia woult,
not be the first province to go up in
anarchic flames. For the time being
the bolshevik overturn in Hunparia
has had indeed a rather quieting ef-
feet on Slovakla. The wealthy or
well to do who were most attached
to their old fatherIand now do not
relish the idea Of returning to Huns
gary which will take all their property.

Pressburg, Slovakia, BOhemia.-Gen-
orally speaking, the situation in SlO-
vakia, formerly a province Of Hun
gary, now annexed to Czecho-Slovakia,
is not without disquietipg features.
The honeymoon Of the revolution has
passed and some of the establishment
bound to follow the introduction Of
new regime has set in. The Magyars
and the Magyarized elements have not
as yet been reconciled to the new re-
gime, and the peasants have recovered
from their first enthusiasm. A difficult
task of reconciliation remains to be
performed by the Czechs.
The population Of SlOvakia is made
up Of three elements--Slovak intelli-
gencIa, which has always been very
strong for the union with Bohemia /;
the Magyars and Magyarized Germans,
and the peasantry. The intelligencia
has been completely satisfied by the
CzechO-SlOvak government, The adj
ministration has been handed over
completely to the very small number
Of Slovak doctors, lawyers, authors
and professors that could be mustered
for service.
Magyars Ignored.
Meanwhile the Magyars and Mag
yarized elements have been quite ig-
nored by the government except where
the government could not find a SlovalS
to fill the job. Intense loyalty to the
old Hungarian rule characterizes these
people. They could be recOnciled to
new conditions were they taken into
the Czech administration. But the
government at present prefers to fill

One insistent demand Of Germany,
that she be admitted at once to mem
bership in the league of nations, it was
said would not be granted, for the
French were unalterably opposed to
this, and Mr.. Wilson, according to re-
ports, had gradually come around to
their view of keeping Germany out Of
the league until she has become regen-
Grated and proved her sincerity. There
are not wanting influential persons and
journals that argue for the immediate
admission of Germany, basing the plea
mainly on the allegation that the good
viii and early restoration to prosperity
of that country are necessary to the
safety and economic progress of the
rest of the world. They call attention,
with shivers Of apprehension, to the
imminent danger of Germany's form
ing an alliance with Japan and Rus
STA, and this was backed up last week
by more or less precise statements
that the Japanese and German ennis
saries already had been holding con-
ferences in various neutral places. A
good deal of this sort Of stuff may be
put down to prO-German propaganda,
more active just now than for some
time past, as witness the recent doings
Of the "Germanamerican Citizens
league" with headquarters in Chicago.
Much Of 1t, too, is said and printed in
behalf Of the selfish and self-centered
business man who demands uninter-
rupted and greater returns from his
investments, regardless Of justice to
the vanQuished and the vlctors In the
war, the victors who might suffer, in
this case, being the French.

ments for officers uniforms, it is said.
With the standard army automatic
it is stated, "any average soldier with
average training can hit what he
shoots at. In almost the first skirmish
it proved its superior usefulness in
trench fighting. Such incidents as
that Of the single American soldier
who dispersed or killed whole squad
of German bayoneteers which had sur
rounded him struck the enemy with

The setting up of an Independent re-
public in the Rhine provinces, with DIR.
Hans A. Dorten as president, has still
further Increased the bitterness be
tween France and Germany. The Ber-
lin government, Of course, refused to
recognize the new state and ordered
the prosecution of Dorten for high
treason. Then the Germans claimed
to have discovered that the scheme
was fostered and aided by the French
and that Marshal Foch and Premier
Clemenceau had told the Rhinelanders
that 1.-THE German government would
never again have anything to do with
the left bank of the Rhine, and hence
the propagandists could not be pun
ished." The Berlin press said the
French had a propaganda fund of 3d.
100000 and were using it to bride the
people of Rhineland and the Palatinate
to favor the independent republic. 1t is
true that the French look with favor
on the new state and apparently they
will, so far as possible, protect it from
the Ebert government. General Man
gin, commanding the French army of
occupation at Mayence, has forbidden
strikes and other disturbances directed
against the Rhenish republic. The
German government formally protest
ed to the armistice commission against
the course pursued by the French. The
British and Americans in the occupied
territory, it was said, were taking no
part in the affair and would take none.

The reply of the Austrians to the
terms Of the peace treaty handed to
them was a dlgnifed, rather pathetic
and almost hopeless plea by Chancellor
Karl Renner for conditions that would
permit the German-Austrian republic
to live and to organize for the exist
ence of an Independent commonwealth.
He outlined the history of its estab-
lishment and argued that it has no re-
lation with the former empire of the
Hapsburgs. His country, he urged,
should be treated as considerably as
the other nations that have sprung
from the Danube monarchy. Like the
Germans, he made frequent reference
TO the fourteen points, and so did the
Vienna papers when the terms were
given to the public The press de-
elared the terms were cruelty harsh,
and much anger was shown against
the italians, Czechs and Jugo-Slavs.
The people generally were bitterly dis
appointed to find that they were not
being treated much better than the
Germans. and a big meeting Of protest
WAS held The public view was ex-
pressed by Doctor Treichl, a banker,
who said THE only thing for the Aus
TRAN people Is to sayS We might as
well join with Germany, as we are
companions IN misfortune. We have
nothing 70 lose BY doing So
The grand council Of German Aus.
trla adopted the report Of DR.. Otto

tence Of the Austrian republic.

The springing Of another big bomb

to the necessity Of rounding up and
disposing of the anarchists who are
running amuck in this country. Will
liam J. Flynn, new chief of the bureau
Of investigation Of the department Of
justice, has been given free hand,
with orders to end anarchy in the Uni

prediction that he will go far toward
doing that very thing. This time the

eral Palmer and other law-enforcement
officials in eight cities of the East
Cordite bombs were exploded at their
residences, but they all escaped death.

From Vienna comes the news that
the bolshevist regime in Hungary is
nearing its end. The communist cabi-
net has been replaced by one headed
by Herr German, one of Count KarOl-
yi's followers, and it was said he had
been invited to Versailles to confer
with the entente representatives In
the Ukraine the troops of General
Petlura captured several railway cen
tiers from the bolsheviki. A premature
report from Vardoe said the Esthoni-
ans and Firms had captured Petrograd.
Later the bolshevists claimed to have
driven the Esthonians back west of
Gatchina. The American troops in the
Archangel region began embarking for
home. An interesting but unlikely
story coming by bOlshevist wire from
Moscow said General SemenOff had
called a congress in eastern Siberia,
which had declared the autonomy of
Mongolia and named Semenoff as
grand duke of that country.

Another '1eak" sensation enlivened
the proceedings of the United States
senate last week when Senators Lodge
and BOrah declared that to their GER
tain knowledge copies of the peace
treaty, denied to the senate, had been
in the hands of New York financiers
for some days. Their statement was
not doubted and Senator Hitchcock,
after conferences at the White House
and the state department, asserted
that the copies in question had been
stolen. He introduced a resolution
calling for an investigation by the
committee on foreign relations.
