Great Ordnance Branch Built
by Americans to Keep
Steady Flow of Guns
to Front.
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. On one side
are the monster guns mounted on

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.

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

under the Hague convention, is the
minimum gun firing explosive shells

While this big institution is keep

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.
