"I feel the shock of his going very deeply." he said. "I had learned to know. him very well as a man, of ex ceptional ability. , The clearness ami Intensity of his mind was always in evidence. "He gathered Into his personality some of the winsome traits which made him a friend to all. I feel that in his going there has been a most pro found loss to the cnurcn ana we niga- by one. company for several thousand Vlckers guns, many months ago. you'll find they haven't all been delivered." Boris said his company declined to make the Browning gun, even after It had officially been adopted by the gov ernment as the chief machine gun for the American army., He sharply criti cised war department officials for changing their minds so often. "They never knew what they wanted," he declared. "They told me last August there would be no more Lewis guns made after next July. Klve weeks later they ordered thousands more, enough to keep my plant busy all next year. Then, in November, they changed their minds again and forced me to change my whole equipment to make Lewis aircraft guns Instead of the trench guns they had ordered." This "policy of vacillation and changed orders," Boris said,' had cost him flOO, 000 and the government some deliveries. He believes other manufacturers had suffered likewise. Boris told how the government refused to take Lewis guns firing British am munition, although he could have co llvered 10,000 of them by this time. This, he estimated, meant a loss to the American forces equivalent to SOO.OOO rules, as one machine gun is held the equivalent of SO rifles. Lewis Better Than Hons "Of course it was preferable to have the guns shoot American ammunition." said Boris, "but I've been told the army naa jracucauy no machine guns and the training camps only a few. These Lewis guns have been killing people rignt along. Tneyre perfectly effective. They'd have been better than no guns. Ana tne crowning guns could have been substituted when ready." Boris's testimony figures the total of the army's machine guns at 60,000. Gen Griffin, hearing that an Indictment had been issued against him. voluntarily gave himself up to the federal authori ties. He was secretary of the Bella c ham local from July to October. When Grif rtn presented himself to W.
