a member of the committee on naval af-
fairs also said:
There is no difference of sentiment,
imagine about the necessity or the desira-
bility of obtaining smokeless powder for
the army and navy. The committee on
naval affairs favorably considered the
communications of the department in this
respect but it was impossible a the break
in govt of the war TO lay in stock of the
powder sufficient for all purposes, as the
output was too limited and there was too
limited and there was too heavy demand
for it from other countries
Senator Hale, chairman of the senate
committee on naval affairs. said:
The question of providing smokeless
powder for the navy is one to be dealt
with within TIN department. We have
given TO the department every dollar they
have asked for. 1 have no doubt they
are doing the best they can in that re-
spect."
Senator Hanna, a member of the COM
mittee on naval affairs. said:
81 am decided in favor of smokeless
powder. 1 think the question of the kind
Of powder TO be used in the navy is a
matter 10 be acted upon by the ordnance
department. They have the funds to fur
niSh the munitions of war"
Senator Proctor of the committee on
military affairs, said the question of the
kind of powder to be used in the army
would not come before his committee. It
was a matter 10 be dealt with by the war
department.
Representative Hilborn. Of California,
of the military affairs committee said:
The trouble is that there are but two
places in the United tSates prepared 10
make the smokeless powder the govern
ment has adopted and they had just start
ed on it for the government when the war
came on. We had just worked out a for
mula for smokeiess powder. the best in
the world and had started 10 make it when
the war broke out. We undertook 20 pre-
pare a formula which would eliminate the
extreme dangerousness of ordinary
smokeless powder. The Dupont Powder
mills. in Delaware. and the California
Powder mills have started 10 manufacture
it, but when the war broke out they were
rot prepared 10 furnish d sufficient guam
tity for the use Of our army and navy
had thought that some had been bought
abroad. The secretary asked for s., OF. 90
FOR that purpose and after the $1,000 GO
he said $4,000 would DO. I supposed that
