Washington, Dec. 20.—How produc- tion of rifles and machine guns for the army was delayed during the early days of the nation’s entrance into the war, but is now being speeded up, was recounted today in the senate military committee’s war inquiry by heads of large private munitions plants. New Type Weapons. The manufacturers enthusiastically praised both new types of American weapons. They told of private enter- prise in anticipating in the nation's war necessities, and one of them crit- icised the ordnance bureau for alleged indifference to the probability of war. He said the department's head brus- quely declined to consider ordering machine guns immediately after the German ambasador had been dismiss- ed. Ahead of Contract. Orders for rifles placed several mofiths after war was declared, the manufacturers were agreed, are far ahead of contracted deliveries, with- out yet reaching maximum factory capacity. Virtually all of the con- tracts for rifles, machine guns and cartridges, ‘they testified, are on the “cost plus” a percent of profit basis, with machinery in their plants, own- ed by the government.

DEATH EDICT FOR REIGN OF TERROR PURPOSE OF REDS Bolsheviki Provides Dire Punish- ment for “Enemies of the Nation.” COMMITTEE OVER THE NAVY Cossack Chief Proposes Peace on Condition of Don Independence. Petrograd, Monday, Dec. 17.— The commissioner of justice is preparing a decree reinstating the death penalty for enemies of the nation. Foreign Minister Trotzky has issued a decree stating that all consuls abroad are to be elected by the Russian colonies in the cities in which they reside, but that the ambassadors shall be named by the government at the Smolny Institute. The decree says that M. Nabo- koff, ambassador in London, and M. Krupensky, ambassador at kio, must appear before the criminal court to answer to the charge of spreading false infor- mation regarding the armistice, or that otherwise their lands will ted. in a speech deliver- the responsibility for the suicide of General Skallon, former governor of Warsaw, and for the death of Gen 1) Duk- honin, on the should of the al- lies and ad s of the impe! governments, who forced these men “to take the mad step of trying to prevent negotiations with the Germans regarding the armistice.” PETROGRAD BESEIGED.

HEAVY FIGHTING. Italian Front Attacked at Five Separ- ate Points.. Headquarters of the Italian army in northern Italy, Dec. 20.—Extremely heavy fighting has again developed both in the northern mountain region and along the lower Piave. The enemy has made five separate attempts to cross the Sile, or old Piave. His main effort was about three miles above the mouth of the river where pontoons and a bridge were used. The first party succeeded in getting across, but after a series of furious attacks was driven back to the water's edge, where it is still held. Four other simultaneous attempts in the same region were repulsed in the main, but fighting continues. Lignite coal wanted that will aggre- gate about 2,000 tons a year.

We no longer have Mexico held up to us as a lond of infernal evil. Simply be- cause the reports of atrocities were part of a skillful German propaganda which of necessity has ended since the war began. “Now we are in this war. In ten months the authorities at Washington, despite the abuse to which they have been subjected, by those who don't understand, have placed 1,500,000 men. under arms—a greater army than! Lord Kitchener was able to equip in two years. When the armies of Great Britain, with their ta: start for the Mindenburg line; when the armies of America, trained and ‘equipped, com- plete them; and when from 20,000 to 25,000 American airplanes rain bombs upon the German trenches—then war will come pretty near to being what General Sherman said it was.” HEALTH CONDITION, Observation Camps Soon to Be In- stalled.
