PROGRAM SURE
OF VICTORY
WASHINGTON, June 10 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Behind the armies in
Prance which smashed a road to vic
tory through the German defenses last
fall, the United States was forging be
fore thA, armistice was signed,
weapons gigantic and powerful, count
ed upon to make ultimate victory cer
tain. In the American artillery pro
gram alone, the full fruition of which
could not have been reached before
1920, there was In creation an agency
believed by army men here to be of
itself able to bring the victory.
An official and detailed account of
that program is contained in the chap
I terms made public today of “America’s
Munitions,” the historial report pre
pared under the direction of Assistant
Secretary Crowell, who was director
of munitions during the war.
The whole story of guns, from the
37mm “infantry cannon” with its inch
and one-half bore, designed for use in
the front lines of combat, to the 1G
inch mortar on a railway mount which
was to work havoc on the enemy from
points miles behind the fighting front,
the story of the extraordinary efforts
of American industry to equip an army
with artillery on a scale never before
attempted is graphically pictured.
Through it all runs the same spirit of
partnership in the war enterprise be
tween industry and the government
that made possible such an undertak
The chapters devoted to guns are so
extensive as to make up a consider
able volume in themselves. They con
tain the names and the statistical rec
ords of achievement of all the firms
that worked on guns or ammunition
and this official commentary will have
a place in the records of those firms
in the years to come.
Among the many interesting things
in the report is the account now offic
ially given of the reasons that impelled
the war department to cast aside ex
cept for training purposes all of the 3
inch field artillery with which the
American army was equipped when
the United States entered the war,
and to substitute for these weapons
three types of guns fitt<
munition on the 75mm
by the French light ple<
There has been much controversy
because of the alleegd failure to adopt
at the outset of the war the French
75, famous for its performances in the
war, as the standard American piece
of this type. The report shows that
the gun was adopted for combat pur
poses, but that its production in quan
tity in the United States proved to be
even more of a problem than the gov
ernment’s experts had anticipated. For
that reason the American 3-inch gun, <
redesigned for 75 ammunition, and the
Briitsh 3.3-inch field gun, similarly re
chambered, were both put into produc
tion in order to make use of every
facility for manufacture. The Amer
ican and British type were intended ,
primarily for training work and were
so employed. But the wisdom of put
ting these guns into production on a
quantity scale is emphasized in the
following paragraphs:
“In the year and one-half of our war
experience the manufacturing produc- '
tion problems were all practically and
completely solved with one exception
—that of building French hydropneu
mflUp rppiinoratnrQ fnr tho
This, perhaps the hardest manufactur
ing job in the whole range of war in- <
dustrial enterprises and naturally the
last one to come through, had not been
solved when the armistice was signed.
However, It Is only fair to state that
the solution of this recuperator prob
lem was imminent on November 11,
1918.”
The recuperator iS'ihe recoil device
which makes these French guns what
they are. Their construction was a
French secret and to build them there
is required a degree of precision com
parable only, the report states, to that i
necessary In building as delicate an
instrument as a sextant. It was with
difficulty that any American manu
facturer was persuaded to undertake
it, yet on April 25, 1919, 67 of these j
recuperators had been completed and <
63 of these passed by French experts
and accepted by the government. They
were the first of these devices built
out of France or by other than the
skilled French workmen.

HISTORIC MUMMIFIED
HEAD GIVEN MUSEUM
LOS ANGELES, June 10 (by As
sociated Press).—A mummified human
bead, shrunk to the size of the aver
ige orange, has just been presented to
the Museum of History, Science and
Art, in Exposition park, Los Angeles,
by Mrs. H. M. Parker of this city. It
is said to be one of seven of the kind
n the United States. »
The head of a Jibero Indian of
3outhern Equador, it was obtained
'rom a trader in South America by a
irother-in-law of Mrs. Parker. Small
is it is, it is covered by a luxuriant
growth of long, black hair.
The Jibero Indians are among the
lercest head hunters in the world ac
:ording to Mrs. Parker. Instead of
jcalping their victim, as was the cus
;om of the Indians of North America,
hey remove all of the bones from the
lead and embalm the remaining
lesh.
