The switch will not be made from choice, not because the Enfield is thought to be sujierior to the Springfield, for it is not believed to be as efficient, but because the United States from the outbreak of the war to the present day failed to make provision for an emergency, and now finds itself in a position where it cannot begin to manufac ture Springfield rifles fast enough to meet the demands of the army in contemplation. One of the most enlightening speeches heard in congress since the outbreak of the war was delivered in the house of representatives by Representative Tilson, of Connett- cut. perhaps the best posted mili tary authority in congress, himself a trained and experienced aoldisr. .Mr. Tilson laid before the house and before the public many startling facts which previously had been known only to the war department and to the members of the military affairs committee, and the foregoing conclusion was baaed by him on the official facts as stated to the com mittee of congress by the secretary of war.
