WASHINGTON. May 29. — Ameri
ca is ready for the war so far as rifles
and ammunition is concerned Frank
A. Scott, chairman of the general mu
nitions board of the council of na
tional defense, has Issued the follow
ing statement:
"We are in a position now to assure
tho country that rifles and ammuni
tion will be ready for American troops
ns fast as they can be raised and other
wise prepared for foreign serv Ice.
There are on hand more than enuogh
rifles for the rifle carrying men of
of army of approximately a million,
and arrangements have now been
made to provide for the arming of a
larger force and for the reserve which
the wastage under modern war con
ditions makes necessary. Plans have
been completed to take advantage of
the small nrrns factories developed In
our country as the result of the Euro
pean war, and convert them to our
use. In addition the government ar
senals are being expanded. In gen
eral it may be stated that small arms.
Including ammunition, can be provid
ed for practically any number of men
that the country may call to arms.
"Manufacturing facilities for the
Springfield rifle are not adequate to
supply the number required for the
larger force which the United States
may decide to send abroad and to re
place the wastage of such a force.
Fortunately the existing small arms
facotrles which have been turning out
quantities of rifles for the British
army are equipped to manufacture the
Enfield rifle in more than sufficient
number. Therefore, it has been de
cided to adopt the Enfield rifle, but
manufactured to use American ammu
nition of various types. This devel
troops to such extent as may be ne
eessary. Our government will con
tinue to manufacture the Springfield
model, the ammunition for which will
be interchangeable with that of the
no...
"The United States is in a very sat
isfactory position so far as all types
of ammunition are concerned. This
country has developed during the past
three years great plants for the manu
facture of high explosives, small arms
ammunition, and field artillery ammu
nition of various typesil This devel
opment has been so great that several
of the belligerent nations have re
ceived the greater part of their sup
plies from us.
"Steps are being taken to provide
for the additional quantities of field
artillery necessary for modern bat
tie conditions through the extension
of plants already in operation for the
allies, and through the Introduction
and adaptation of new plants that have
not hitherto manufactured war mater
ial. The general munitions board is
endeavoring to develop these various
resources to the fullest capacity, in
order that the country may be pre
pared for any developments of the
military situation, no matter how seri
ous they may prove.
"In order to secure the great quan
tities of artillery immediately neces
sary for the large armies that are to
lie raised, a certain number of guns
of tried foreign types, but manufac
lured in the United States, will be in
troduced into our service. Satisfac
tory arrangements have been made to
accomplish this. In the meantime, the
munitions plants are pushing forward
their preparations for the manufac
ture in large quantities of the various
types of mobile artillery that have
been adopted for our own service
Among these types is the 3-Inch light
artillery gun, of which the latest mo
del is said to be even superior to the
famous French 78." »
