Sunday was denouncing Germany and
her allies In his 1 well known forceful
manner. He had Just remarked thatjie
did not believe-"God would be on the
side of a dirty bunch that would stand
aside and see a Turk outrage a woman.
Beutervauth forced hie way to the
platform and started proceedings by
sending a stiff right to the evangelist's

At this stage the crowd decided It was
no private fight and that anyone could

to the Community.
"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.
I Bryon. chief of the bureau of In
vestigation of tho department of Justine
he declared he was not sure that ho
was the man named In tho Indictment,
but admitted activities in L W. N .
propaganda.
Whether or not he la the same C L.
Griffin named in tho federal indictment
from Chicago was not fully determined
by Commissioner Drake, but Assistant
United States Attorney Goldstein pre
sented sufficient evidence for hur re
moval. Goldstein will make application
for a writ of removal Monday.
