u. S. WAS GETTING IN BIG GUN
STRIDE WHEN THE WAR. ENDED
Americas Munitions Tells of Gigantic
Project-Giives Reasons for Casting j:
Aside 3-inch Artillery as Weapon.

An official and detailed account of
the history Of Americas progress in
the making Of big guns is made public
today in Americas Munitions" pre-
pared at tho war Department under
the direction of Assistant Secretary
Crowell, who was director of NUM-
tions during the war. Behind our ar
mics in France. the United States was
forging weapons gigantic and power
fol, counted upon to make victory
certain, and there was in the making
an agency believed by Army men here
to be Of itself able to bring victory.
The whole story Of guns, from the
thirty-seven- -millimeter infantry can
non" with its inch and half bore,
designed for use in the front lines of
combat to the sixteen-inch mortar on
a railway mount which was to work
havoc on the enemy from points miles
behind the fighting front-the story of
the extraordinary efforts of American
Industry to equip an Army with artil-
lery on q scale never before attempted
is graphically pictured. Through it all
runs the same spirit of partnership
in the war enterprise between indus
try and the government that made
possible such an undertaking.

There has been much controversy
because Of the alleged failure to adopt

the war. as the standard American
piece Of this type. The report shows
that the gun was adopted for COM
bat purposes, but that its production
in quantity in the United States
proved to be even more of a prob
lem than the governments experts
had anticipated. For that reason the
American three-inch gun, redesigned
for IS ammunition. and the British
3.3-inch field gun, similarly recham-
bered, were both put into production
in order to make use Of every facility

PARIS. May 1.-THE general feeling
af dissatisfaction with the treaty con-
tinues and even Increases. It 10 felt
that 3 good many Of the settlements
made are full of future trouble and
that the economic conditions imposed
on Germany will be extremely diffl-
cult to enforce. The principles enun-
c;ated by President Wilson, while not
fully realized at the present time, have
retained their full moral strength and
will probably increase in power
throughout the world as time goes on.
It is recalled that although the
treaty of 1915 wiped out all evidences
OF the French revolution. yet between
the years 1888 and 1S4S the principles
of that revolution transformed most
of Europe. Some observers believe
that at the rate things move in these
modern days the realization of Presi-
dent Wilson's principles either within
or without the league of nations will
~ much more rapid. One French
economist with whom l talked said
that the economic terms are such that
he expected to see great numbers of
Germans emigrate to all parts of the
earth and he fears that these Ger
mans will scatter seeds of diScord and
revolt wherever they go.
