BERTHIER GUN TESTED AT SPRINGFIELD ARMORY May Prove More Successful Rapid Fire Rifle Than the Famous Lewis Gun, Sometime ago announcement was that the Berthier Machine gun of which the Hopkins and Allen Arms company hold the exclusive manu turing rights, was being manufactur- ed by a Sprinfield concern.

Final tests will be run here beginning May 1, 1917, and all inventors are urged to enter their guns for the compensaton. The selec- tion of the two namea above is by no means final The Berthier gun is a Belgian in- vention and had just reached the stage of manufacture on a practical scale when the European war broke out. The French, it is understood, were ready to begin its manufacture and a factory had already been built at Liege when the German rush start- ed. But before Liege fell the four guns that had been manufactured and the plans were taken away to safety. They were subsequently bought by an American firm, either the Baush com- pany or principals for whom they are now acting. The Belgian inventor and the chief engineer are now in this city with the Baush company engaged in “the further development of the weapon. The great advantage of the Bertheir gun is its extreme lightnes, which fits it for aeroplane and skirmish work in a way that the Lewis gun is now used by the British. It weighs by 13 pounds, whereas the Lewis gun welghs around 24. The Vickers- Maxtum gun, of recent manufacture, and really. an improvement of the 1004 Maxium, is a heavy belt-fed rifle. It is considered by far the best ma- chine gun in the world but is designed for permanent defense work and pot for a type of work that requires facil- ity in maneuvering. The British use it on their second and third lines of defense. The lighter Lewis gun they use on the advance lines, in their drives and in aeroplanes. The Lewis gun appears to have been used in the fleld by the British with considerable success but this does not mean ‘that it can be used with equal success by the United States army. The reason is that to be practical in the fleld for this country it must be able to use the service car- tridge. The latter is of 30 caliber, whereas in the British army it is of -303 calibre. Furthermore the Amer- ican cartridge is much longer and more powerful than the English so that the Lewls gun in tne British army must stand a pressure of but 43,000 pounds to the square inch, while in America it must stana a pressure of 50,000 pounds to the square inch. In addition in America for a proper mar. gin of safety the tests require that the guns withstand a pressure of 70,- 000 pounds. The trouble with the Lewis gun has come right there, 5o men who defend the action of the ordnance deparf: ‘ment in_first refecting the Lewls gun con- tend. It is asserted that in making over the Lewis gun to 30 caliber the only essential changes were in the chamber. Inasmuch as a machine gun is a highly delicate instrument, like an aufomobile engine and the gun was ot dntirely rebuilt to take care of vibration or, in a word, properly co-rdinated in all details, the gun has not been able to stand up properly | with banaer resuits, having secured 63 was not reacted, |sidering the circumstances, was very THREE DAYS’ CAMPAIGN COMES TO A CLOSE.

[WASH CLOTHES IN MOOSUP ICE POND. —_— | In Summer People Swim in the Pond | and lce Dealers Are Wroth. Miss Moosup. a town of quiet demeanor stern corner cf Wind- s a pond that supp! the village during mmer mont: During the su people im in the pond and som |times women wash clothes in the | water. The ice dealers are wroth and allege that the water is being contaminated. Only last week an ice dealer saw a party of women headed for the lake with a load of rugs and clothes on a two-wheeled corntrivance. The man kept wat-h and the dozen or £o women with their old push cart proceeded to the lake, where they scrubled and | rinsed ther o0id rugs and clotnes, They would, ne declared, take dirty rugs and mats out of the water, soap them | and then rinse them in the pond. The weather was co mild that day that the women were clad in Mother Hubbard wrappers, aad not much else, according to the ice dealer’s story, as the women waded into the pond 1o some depth — and- seemed to have weights attached to the bottoms of their skirts to keep them from rising. Villagers agree that the pond makes a nice place to do washings, but have their doubts about the fitness of the water for ice that is generally used for domestic purposes. the ice used i iNew Coats and Caps For Police. The local police apeared this week in new coats and caps. under regulation endurance tests, it is claimed. In addition some of its parts, especially the magazine, it Is contended afe so delicate as not to withstand abuse such as would ac- tually be encountered In the field. Apparently, however, in altering tha Berthier gun to the American caliber which is slightly smaller than the Belgian, although the cartridge is mors powerful, the Baush company has successfully rebuilt the entire gun. The _vibration has been reduced to 2 minimum and the entire mechanism has been carefully balanced through- out. This would lead to the beliet that it is a perfect weapon for the United States army but this does not necessarfly follow, inasmuch as the very lightness of the gun may of it- self be a bar to actual fleld service requirements. The gun may be so light as not to be able to stand up properly in an endurance test. Or its magazine may be so fragile as s con- tended by critics of the Lewis gun, as to make it useless. Only endurance tests will decide this highly important question. The Berthier gun is designed for ait or water cooling. The Baush com- pany has guns of both types built. The air-cooled weapon is much the same style as the Benet-Mercler or any other air-cooled machine rifle, The water-cooled, however is peculiar in that it Is really steam_that cools the barrel. Once the gun has been fired enough to heat it, a little stream of water i3 squirted between the bar- rel and the jacket. This is immedi- ately converted into steam which rushes through the length of the bar- rel and out. The answer to this ap- parently _strange method of cooling is that steaf is a much better conductor of heat than water and the heat of the barrel is consequently conducted away quicker than by water, In response to_invitation George D. Haskell of the Hopkins and Allen Arms_company, Boston, appeared in Washington recently before the board made up of army, navy, and marine corps officers, and of civilians, ap- pointed by Stgire::ry M"Wnoglker to report on ye or types of ma- ghine gums—hest suited for the Unitea tates. % E FUR COATS FOR WOMEN Dependable Garments With Style In Every Line ‘We are showing quite a mmfilrfim lflr@cfiveA Y pelts have been used.
