The general feeling among the lead.

On November II GA tanks Of the

OF these six were shipped abroad.
Orders for 1000 Mark I light tanks
were Cancelled as were orders for 49,

been completed on November II.
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 it's view that the
wisest course was that which was fol-
lowed. The total rifle production in
the United States from the beginning
Of the war up to November 9, 1918,
was 2,506,307, Of which 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 large caliber, hard-hitting

Coblenz. - According to German
newspapers published in the unoccu-

bridgehead many schoolmasters dur
ing the revolution removed the busts
of the emperor and the crown prince
which decorated their classrooms.
Some time afterward the busts were
restored to their places. but recently
the ministry of education has ordered
them down again. There was also a
proposal to change the names Of all
streets in Germany named in honor
Of royalties. This has been met by the
press with some hilarity and sugges-

topics for discussion just now than

United States Producing Arms at
High Speed When Fight

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 mil
lions, ammunition turned out by the
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 a 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
stop gap weapon until the Browning
could be ready, the ordnance depart
ment, by zone Of those surprising and
almost 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-
clared to have been spectacular as
compared with any existing weapons
of this character. Up to November II
the production Of Browning rifles was
52,238, a majority of which were in
France. In addition 10000 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 45-ton Mark VIII
tanks of British design, of which 1,5OO
were being constructed in cooperation
with the British and 1,450 additional
wholly by American enterprise.

Kidney disease is no respecter of per-

people today can be traced back to the
kidney trouble.
The kidneys are the most important

which are swept from the tissues by the
blood are not eliminated through the
kidneys, disease of one form or another
will claim you as a victim.
Kidney disease is usually indicated by

DISQUIET IS SEEN
AMONG SLOVAKS

the vacancies left by the Slovak intel
lfgencia with officials from Bohemia
and Moravia. This naturally angers
both the Magyarized element and those
Slovaks who are unfit but 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 plunder 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
| 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 plunder their
interest in the new state has dimin-
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.
Bolshevism 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 q certain
amount of unrest has developed In
| Kassav, far eastward, the large mills
are not working and the food situation
is very bad. as it 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 boil
Shev1sm there would be natural. In
the other industrial districts the work
men seem to have taken out their
class-cOnsciOusnesS in making big de-
mands upon their employers. Not un-
usual was it for workmen to come to
| their employers and demand that they
receive a percentage Of all profits ac-
crued since the wars beginning. With
all this discomfort the food situation
is very much involved.
Generally speaking, Slovakia would
not be the first province to- go up in
anarchic flames. For the time being
| the bolshevik Overturn in Hungaria
has had indeed a rather quieting ef-
feet on Slovakia. The wealthy or
well to do who were most attached
to their old fatherland now do not
relish the idea Of returning to- Hun
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-Slovak1a,
is not without disQuieting features.
The honeymoon Of the revolution mas
passed and some Of the disillus1onment
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 intell1-
gencia, which has always been very
strong for the union with Bohemia !;
the Magyars and Magyarized Germans,
and the peasantry. The intelligenc1a
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 Slovak
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
