GLIDING all of the considerations which
led to the adoption of the standardized
British Enfield weapon Tor American use
also is fully outlined. This was another
element of the ordnance program that
was severely criticized, but the depart
ment states that it sees no reason now
to change its view that the wisest course
was that which was followed Army
experts still hold that the Springfield
rife Is the best military weapon made
but il is declared the rifle program would
have been "hopelessIy delayed" if 1t had
been attempted to equip the forces with
those weapons. IL is reiterated also that
the Enfield rifle as IL was in production
in American plants when the United
States entered the war was an utterly
inadequate weapon, while as 1t was mod
flied. II became second only TO the
Springfield. Despite the delay due to
modification and Standardization, all
American troops were equipped with
modern. Efficient American made rifles
before they left the United States.
"The decision to modify the Enfield,
SAYS the report, was one Of the great
est decisions of the executive prosecution
of the war--all honor to General John T.
Thompson and the other rife experts
who made it,"
The total rife production in the United
States from the beginning OF the war
up TO Nov. 0, 1919, was 2,506,307. OF
which little more than 100000 were
Springfield rifles.
Considerable attention is devoted to
the production of automatic pistols and
revolvers for the troops. In the Colt

oped as result Of Philippine experience
by the army and which also was an in

forces had a weapon which all Europe
could not match for efficiency in action
and which brought terror to the Ger.

front.
European countries failed to appreciate
the value of large calibre, hard hitting

DICTATED AND
BRUTAL PEACE
Is Way Chancellor Scheide-
mann Characterizes
1t
NOT MUCH LIKE
WILSON'S POINTS
Suggests That Some Other
German Government
Might Sign

London, May 1.-THE possibility of a
change in the government of Germany
as result of the presentation Of the
allied peace terms was discussed by
Philip Scheidemann, German chancellor,
at Berlin to-day, according to dispatch
to the Exchange Telegraph company
from that city. The chancellor denounced
the peace terms, which he said repre-
scented brutal dictated peace" it is
said. The statement was made to for
eign journalists in the former chancel-
Tors palace and, in part, follows:
"We thought that we social democrats
were strong enough to prevent peace
by violence, but doubted whether the
masses in enemy countries could sup
port us because they are less strongly
organized than we. Certain circles in
England and France are beginning to ad-
wise the necessity of common sense. 1t
is too comic when President Wilson's Ia
points are contrasted with the peace
terms They do not mention Mr.. Will
sons terms but are just brutal, die
tated peace,
1T is possible government might be
formed which would sign the peace
terms, but it is doubtful whether the
allies would be satisfied with such a
government. A reactionary government
is out of all question and communist
and independent government would be
acting for the people of whom they
would represent only small minority
Even if such government did sign the
treaty, it would be just as impossible
for them to fulfill the conditions as it
would be for us"
