Correspondence of Associated Press. Central France, Sept. 19. Artil lery and airplanes are going to be two of the decisive factors in win ning the war, according to the mili tary experts, and here at this little interior town can be seen what the ordnance branch of the American army has built up in the last four months, to keep up the steady flow of v artillery, arms, ammunition, machine guns, tanks, and all the material of combat, toward the fighting front. It is one of the mammoth insti tutions which has suddenly sprung up with the coming of the Ameri cans and, since April last, it has spread over an area of several miles, with two enormous gunshops, two ilium oiiva tvi lanrvj an it g, u u- tractors, two more for assembling and repairing artillery of all kinds, another for machine guns, rifles and small arms, with huge foundries and forges for the casting. Along with these are going up four great ware houses for housing all kinds of ordnance material. , - Only One. Comparison. The big government arsenal at Rock Island, 111., is the only thing j tuv niiiu mot ill vai.ih j with this plant, and yet it is 90 per j cent completed after four months of existence. j There are two stacres in the stearlv , a up-keep of the cannon and all kinds of weapons, going forward to the fighting lines. The first stage is in the zone of the advance, along with the army, where a number of ord nance shops are operated to meet ! immediate requirements in the field, I to remount crippled cannon and to i get the guns back into use with the least possible delay. The shops move forward with the troops, with . u r .... i i j 1 1 .l . . t . and parts to do quick work. - French Pattern Used. So, for the present at least, much of the vast supply of guns, great and small, moving forward to -the firing line is of trench pattern or French make. The splendid artil lery 'results in the recent fighting tell how these guns are operated in American batteries. And yet it is oniy iair to tne American fighting force to recognize that they are not yet fully equipped with their own arms, and that from this time for ward there will be a steady increase of American metal and American high explosives as well as American airplanes in the crucial phases of the conflict. 4 An imposing array of all the types of big. guns now in use is to be seen in the shops here with 4,000 gunmakers advancing them through all stages.

Smuts, Former Boer Leader, to Visit U. S. 1 . ., Hussanek to Form A Coalition Ministry In Austria-Hungary London, Sept. 29. A dispatch to the Frankfurter Zeitung from Vienhna gives a report that, after Emperor Charles had conferred with Foreign Minister Burian, Bar on Von Hussansk, the Austrian premier, and Alexander Wekerle, the Hungarian premier, on the Bul- ! garian situation he charged Baron von Hussarek with the duty of forming a soalition ministry. Washington, Sept. 29. A dis patch from Switzerland today says that the Vienna Arbeiter Zeitung reports that the victories of the entente in Macedonia and 'Pales tine are making a profound impres sion in Austria. The semi-official papers are trying to reassure public opinion by pointing out that only a rupture of the Belgradt-Constanti-nople line in the region of Nish could mean a catastrophe for the central powers and that it is a long way from the present front to Nish. The Arbeiter Zeitung replies by stating that the Austro-German troops rapidly covered greater dis tances in their Serbian campaign. Left to right: E. N.

Other forms of this heavy artillery are the 155 miUimeier, the 4.7-inch, S-inch and 6-inch guns, in the field guns of the famous French 75 pattern and the 155-millimeter' howitzers. They look doubly mon strous in their war paint, with fan tastic camouflage smeared over rifles and huge armored trucks. The smallest field piece in this vast arsenal is the little French 37 millimeter; or one-pounder, which, under the Hague convention, is the minimum gun firing explosive shells L-ven in this workshop where the railway trucks with 8 inch, 10-inch i runs are be-'ne hurripH fnrwar,i tn line iront, .one ooserves that the rerifling. .

While this big institution is keep ing up the s'eady supply of guns, large an.l sma'l. in the fighting now sooner or later come from America when its vast productive resources get in full operation. There are cheering reports of how this produc tion is fast increasing, particularly in machine guns. But big guns and their mammoth tractors can not be turned out in a day and after that is the problem of shipping such unwieldy monsters across the Atlantic.
