1 a vi U.S. WAR MILLS STILL GRINDING OUT MATERIALS Vast Stores Accepted by Gov- ernment Despite End of Con- flict; Will Be Held in Re serve for Future WASHINGTON, June 3.—(Unit- ed Press.)—America is finding it al- most as difficult to stop her war prep- uration as it was to start it. The war department at present 1s cepting huge quantities of war ma- 1. Though most of it will not be needed in the near future, unless someone starts a new war, the army has found it cheaper to finish much of the work already begun when the armistice was signed than to abandon it. s' Some of the items accepted since the armistice are: 976 75-millimeter (the famous French 75) with ,000 rounds of high explosive 51,000 rounds of shrapnel for d them; 804 6-ton tanks (light Whip- pet type 247 155-millimeter guns with 414,000 high explosive shells for them; 41,000 Browning auto- matic rifles; 30,000 Browning ma- chine guns; 118,000,000 pounds of smokeless powder; 2,417 5-ton trac- tors for hauling heavy artillery; 124,- 000,000 pistol and 570,000,000 rifle cartridges; 660,000 tin hats; 56 8- nch howitzers; 347,000 model 1917 rifles (modified Enfields); 115,000 automatic pistols; 12,000,000 pounds of T. N. T. and 25,000,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate. In the case of tanks and 75-milli- meter-guns, over 90 per cent of the total production was completed after the armistice. The largest percentage of any ordinance item to be delivered after the armistic: s in the case of millimeter recoil apparatus. Of these, 880 of a total of 381 were de- livered after Nov. 11. All the items mentioned, of which a considerable proportion represents after-the-war delivery, required long preparation before manufacture could be begun. Besides constituting 2 valuable reserve for another war, the war department pointed out, the ma- terial would be a total weste if it were not finished. The war department has terminated by cancellation since November 9 all but $350,000,000 worth of contrac- tracts originally totaling $5,650,000,- 000. Ordinance material represents the largest single part of the remain- ing contracts—$138,975,000. WAR SHIPMENTS OF SILVER KEPT SECRET BY UL. $100,000,000 Worth of White Metal Passed Thru Cheyenne Without Knowledge of Pu- lic, It Is Learned. CHEY Wyo., June 2.—That thousands of tons of silver—the pre- cious metal t now is selling for approximately $28,000 a ton—was transported thru Cheyenne during the war without the knowledge of the people here or of other towns thru which the treasure passed, is a wer- time secret that has been made public by the treasury department. The sil- ver—melted down American dollars consigned to Asia—was sent from the United States mint at Philadelphia to the mint at San Francisco, and from the latter wes shipped to In- It was hauled in special trains guarded by armed men and so thoro was the guard over it that not an ounce of the precious metal ’was Jos dia. Eighteen of these treasure train: made the trip across the continent in the twelve mont ended last April 23, with the Iver like big bricks, piled high in each of the five express cers composing a special train. Two men, with automatic pis- jtols at their hips, and sawed-off shot- guns on their laps, sat in each car and later guarded the secret tra fer of the white bars from train to ship at San Francisco. Each silver brick ‘weighed about sixty-two pounds and was worth $1,000, and each train carried be- tween $5,000,000 and $10,000,000 of the bricks. Guarded shipments of silver dollars also were made from the United States treasury in Wash- ington and from the New Orleans subtreasury to Philadelphia. More than 100,000 silver dollars were melted end shipped to India during the year to meet urgent war de- BASIN TO GET CAVALRY UNIT BASIN, Wyo., June 5.—Major T. J.

BRAZIL JOURNAL DEFENDS U.S. 1N SOUTHERN ISSUE Newspaper Razao Not in Sym- pathy with Agitation Against United States on Floor of Chamber (By United Press) RIO JANEIRO, (By Cable to New York.) The newspaper Rezao today took issue with the elements tt are fostering anti-American agita- tion in Brazil. Referring to the speech of Deput Mauricio Lacerda in the ch at yesterday, the Razao said: “We do not approve of Lacerda’s support of agitation egainst the Unit- ed States, which was begun by Mz eiros Albuquerque, who, using his journelistic prerogatives, launched usations against that nation which bas always been a friend of Brazil “Albuquerque is a private citizen and is unable to create difficulties. However, the deputy’s opposition to, France's transfer of her Brazilian loans to the United States changes the aspect of the case. It is absurd to deny the right of England and France to transfer their loans. The war has changed financial dominion from London to New York. Trans- fer of the lozn is to our advantage because it is against the interests of the United States to lower the value of Brazilian money, since we would be obliged to overpay for their products and they would have to, overpay for ours Knowing the c cal financial con- ditions in Europe, transfer of the n loans to the United States and reflects credit on Brazil's al standing. The Razao ridiculed the charges of American imperialism, declaring that 1 “is not threatened with con- quest. Among other things, Lacerda de- clared in his speech that sincerity of the Monroe Doctrine must commence with cancellation of international ex. ansion and restoration of Califor- and Texas to Mexico. “If the doctrine defends America ftom Europe, who will defend Amer- ica from America?” he asked.
