The repeated official announce

There is no doubt that the present i

As a result of the personal Invesli-1
galiou of machine "iiu production
during the past few days, the secre
tary announced that there is no pres
ent shortage of light or heavy types
of these weapons either in L'rance or
America, and no shortage is in pros
pect. Sir. Halter's study of the whole ord
nncu program was founded on bis de
sire to see just what the situation was
in this slowest element of the war
preparations.
His eoneliisions as to machine guns
follow on the heels of pessimistic
statements by members of congress
in this regard. In discussion of the
production of itrovvuing machine
guns, contracts for other types Imlli
here and abroad apparently have been
lost sight of. These contracts pre

George, Regardless of Merits of
Controversy Raised By Maurice.
LONDON, May !). - The intense in
terest in the crisis brought nhoiit by
the letter of Major (leneral Maurie
is reflected in the morninc newspa
pers. They ii'u much prominence to
the prospects of today's doings in the,
house and the attitude of political
parlies toward the government and
Oencral .Maurice, rc-ipcetively, and
speculate upon the prohable outcome
Kditoriallv the papers again deal with
the subject very fully.
Opinion is yeneral that if former
1'rcmicr Asquilh forces bis motion to
have a select committee investigating
the charges made against the govcrn
n. cut hy Ocncral Maurice to a Hvi
iou, the government will obtain a ma
jority which soti-e commentators be
lieve will be substantial. However,
views differ as to bow far tins will
si lii-.IV the puhlic.
Vindication I 'crimps.
Sonic bold that a verdict by the
house id' commons in support of the
overmneut will eonmlctelv vindicate
the government and crush whuL they
I the intrigue of the Asquithinu op
ponents. Others say that such a ver
dict will prove nothing except reluc
tance to oust the government at such
a .critical moment, having the main
question unaffected.
J he latter view is Voiced by the
Daily Chronicle, which, while orediet-
a parliamcnta victory for the
government, possihlv b a lare ma
jority, says this would indicate iiolb-ii.-
more than reluctance by Hie com
mons at a moment of national peril l
overthrow the miuistrv, while no defi
nite and acceptable alternative exist h.
It. adds that sm-h a victory cannot
lie a straight forward verdict on the
merits of the case. The charges, it
declares, ought to he disproved con-
isively or the affected ministers
ought to leave office.
The Daily Telegraph, on the other
hand, has no doubt that the minis
terial reply will lie complete and
rrushiug.
I'Vnr Old (Jang.

the press most hostile to Mr. Asquitli
that if the government fails the "old
