Ty ee Gas Oper ated. a By JAMES H. COLLINS. (From the Committee on Public Informa- tion, Washington, D.-C.) Three hundred senators, representa tives, journalists, and army officers of the French, British, Italian, Bel- gian:and American forces: stood’ be hind’ a little squad of ordnance men. the other day at a rifle range outside of Washington, : “attention!” commanded the officer in charge of the squad. ~ ’ “Shoulder fire—one magazine— semi-automatic—Ready! Load! Alm! There was a popping like that, say, | of half a dozen packs of giant fire- crackers all set off at once, It lasted about ten seconds, the time required to fire 20 shots from what looked like an ordinary rifle in the hands of each soldier. Five hundred yards away the dirt flew behind a row of small tar gets set up to represent men, “Shoulder fire — one magazine— gutomatic—load!” was the next com mand given. * But a different -volley: was heard at the command “Fire!” It sounded ke B-r-r-r-r-r!_and lasted only two and & half seconds! If you want to estinfate the rapidity, listen to. the ticking of your watch, which averages-about four ticks per second, and realize that the automatic fire of this weapon was just twice as fast-elght standard army riffle cartridges firéd in a secon@'with ‘one pull ofthe trigger. ‘. ' And that was the hew “Browning achine gun which Uncle Sam. was bout to manufacture at the rate of thousands a week, and had brought to this rifle range for its first public exhi- bition. Other methods of firing were shown with: the gun placed at the'hip and with the soldiers marching toward. the target, firing as they walked. Then the‘spectators crowded around and be- gan asking questions. “Is :it alr cooled or water cooled? ‘What does it weigh? How fast can they be made? What do they cost? Is it a better weapon than this machine gun or that?” 4 All Were Convinced. * ‘Among those present was one mem- ber of congress who, a few weeks be- fore, during an anxious Inquiry into our war preparations, had stated his bellef that the Browning machirfe gun was only a dream. And now he was allowed to fire the weapon -himself, |" and planted suecessfon of bullets in the distant target with an accurhcy which left no question in his mind,as to the tangibility or accuracy of this Rew tool of the American soldier, On. the following morning newspa- pers throughout. the country published a detailed description of both this gin, known. a& the “light: Browning,” afd another type called the “heavy Brown- ing,” which was also ‘demonstrated, being fired from‘a tripod, water céoléd, and fed with canvas belts ‘containing 250 cartridges each. It has fired 20,000 shots fn a little less than 48 minutes. Each legislator and journalist askéd his.own questions, and there was an honest spirit of inquiry evident. Every American present, while admitting the impressive nature of the test, seetied to feel that he was personally “repre- efficiency of these new weapons, And in that miatter each American did‘traly Fepresent. the ‘nation trhich ‘has beén Keen to discover every part of.our wat Program open to question, each accord- {ng to his owM@ight and reading, ~~ SS PILE SUFFERERS...

Provide Something Better. _ Our ordnance department has beeh working ‘since we entered the war to send American soldiers to France with a.complete kit of tools representative of American inventive ability. First Sizing up the job of cracking the Hua out of trench; shell box,’ ‘and subter- rénean tunnel, And ‘aseerthining what the allies have féand useful in'the way of saw, haminér ‘and hatchet, the ord- nance departinent has worked to ‘pro- vidéisomething a litle better,in every ease, from poison gas apd gas masks to machine: guns‘and high-explosive shrap- nel. . The light Browning, also known a8 the “automatic riffe,” requires no cool- ing apparatus, because in its tactical use‘in battlé as a tool it willbe called upon only for what ye known as “bursts of firing.” It is-a remarkable thew tool, better than anything of its particular type yet developed, and dif- ferent from every other weapon inthe world, Its nearest ‘prototype is the French’ Chatichat automatic rife, which has proved extremely effective. At the ‘présent stage of ‘tactics the Browning automatic rifle will be a sa- perior tool for perhaps three definite Jobs in trench’ Warfare.
