SMOOTH TRICK OF WAR.
Japs Control Output of Gum Camphor
From Which Smokeless Powder
Is Made.

1t is fact little known that the
world is supplied with gum camphor
from Japan and China. Japan is by
far the largest grower, and since the
war between Russia and Japan, there
has been no shipments from either Of
the two countries to other parts of
the world, excopt that which China
has smuggled into Japan. There is
hardly a sufficient amount in the
outside world to fill the demands
till October Already the price has
advanced from 60 cents per pound to
40, and il the war continues until
October, it is believed that the price
will be $1,000 per pound, and that
it can't be bought at that. The
opinion is that Japan and China are try
ing to monopolize the entire output
of the world. so that Russia will be
forced to the use OF black powder,
thereby giving the Japs all the advan-
tagc in the way of sharp shooting, as
smokeless powder can be manufactured
only by the use Of gum camphor.
