Bryanite ideas of war, held to the ibcGief that the 700,000 Springfield rifles in stock were ample for any demand the country would be call-' ed upon to face. It is true that the sending of a big army to Eu rope was then forecast by nobody, and that simply for home defense the 700,000 rifles seemed not in sufficient. But there was incapac ity and a lack of precautionary safeguards in the government's course in those years, in view of the possible dangers involved ,inl al lowing a great government muni tions plant to run down and lose more than half of its skilled work- Misses Lucile, KJatherine and Master Charles Coone and Miss Louise Hobbles of Gastonia are spending the holidays in Hickory with relatives.

GROWER'S TESTIMONY Mo relz-Whitener - - St Clothing I 0 "Th Onalffv Shoo" S p R P a p p p p p p p p p Springfield Republican. Gen Crozier's testimony is not ex hilarating reading. As for the manufacture of army rifles theKsl'" ge is well understood hereabouts, oyen without Gen. Crozier's evidence The United States armory in this city, which makes the Springfield r fl5 was allowed to curtail produc Son so much in the years immedi ately preceding the country's en trance into the European war that 5Te sWHled mechanics employed there were in large part drawn off 2 the i private munitions plants m oth P?a"es. It was difficult to Jet them back here after congress declared war against Germany and it then became necessary to tram td a considerable extent skilled ers. General Crozier cannot be held responsible for the original curtail ment in rifle manufacture in the government plants. The trouble Of his department, jhwever;, were much increased when war came. They were still more increased when the early plan of the general staff of the army not to send troops to Europe until a year had elapsed was abandoned by reason of the urgent anneals from Gen. Joffre. Troubles rapidly became cumulative. Wihereas the average daily production of ar my rifles in the United States in March, last, by all concerns gov ernment and private, wasf 10,000, th production fell off by half during the spring and summer because the priate plants were out of the rifle business more or less after completing their contracts for for eign governments. Evidently, the chief of ordnance of the United States was in no position to make quick contracts with them and thus maintain their production at maxi mum capacity for the benefit of the United States, owing to the time consumed in determining upon the changes in the British Enfield rifle which the ordnance department, whether wisely or unwisely, had de cided to use as an emergency weap on in the American army in France. There were reasons for changing the Enfield model so as to insure the use of the same kind of car tridge by all American troops, but the changes inevitably caused a de lay for which. Gen. Crozier has been severely criticised. If there are first-class rifles en ough for all the soldiers the gov ernment can place in France, and of this Gen. Crozier is very sure, the situation is not so grave as it might be. For drilling purposes in the home cantonments, the sup ply of rifles is fairly adequate as not all the men drill at the same time Nor is there need to worry because of the use by raw con scripts of wooden guns. A great part of the present splendid Brit ish army had to do part of its dril ls n, r?v, "hrnnm sticks." There is however, a lack of target practice) in the cantonments that may be traced to the shortage of the latest and best rifles. The shortage of machine guns may be more serious than the short age in rifles, but the secretary of war himself will be heard with deep interest on this phase of army e quipment when he meets the senate committee. The American soldiers in France are abundantly supplied by the French with machine guns, but the entire absence of these in dispensable weapons in some of the home training camps means that the trorops will be lamentably back ward in machine-gun practice when they land in France. The produc tion of American machine guns, how ever will soon be sufficient to change this phase of the situation. fin Doubt, Give Candy Everybody likes it and an at tractive box of high grade candy is always welcome at Christmas time.
