Ships Without Powder.

AT the present moment it is whispered
in naval circles that should war be sud-
denly declared more than half the
French fleet would he unaale to fire a
shot. there being no powder in the maya
zines. The Temps asserts that the ad-
miralty re- absolutely ignorant as to
where the necessary powder could be
found in case OF emergency, and that 1t
is by no means sure that foreign powders
are adaptable for French artillery.
1t is evidently useless to indulge in
recriminations. and the vital question
agitating the minds of those cognizant of
the facts-realizing the eventual danger
is whether the government (Which by the
measure 1t has just taken seems to ac-
knowledge the inadequacy of the state
factories) may not finally be induced to
yield to the pressure of opinion and abol-
ish the monopoly.
During the last thirty years several
ministers of marine and large section
of expert opinion have recommended
throwing the manufacture of powder open
to private industry. The moment this is
done there can be little doubt that COM
petition would soon produce. il not a per-
feet powder. at least an article infinitely
superior to the -death-deaIing product fur
nished by the state factory in accordance
with theoretical formulas. which have too
often proved in practice inexplicably
false

Feeling Against Monopoly.

Ever since the Liberte catastrophe and
the accession of NJ. Delcasse to the min
istry of the marine there has been a
strong current in favor of the suppress
sion of monopoly.
At present private industry may not
manufacture powder. being forbidden, but
nobody doubts it's capability, and it would
be hard to find a single man Of common
sense who would prefer France being de-
pendent on a foreign supply Of powder to
to meet national needs.
The military and naval needs Of the
country--and equally it's economic inter-
ests-can only be safeguarded, as the
Temps points out, by re-establishing the
liberty of manufacture instead of contin-
uing the present policy of suicidal monOp-
oily The purchase of fifty tons Of foreign
powder Ia looked upon a hopeful sign
That the government recognizes the dan
ger of relying any longer on state-pro-
duced explosive.

Says He Might Be Beaten.

Referring again to the possible accept
ance of challenge by the New York
Yacht Club. Sir Thomas said:
"Of course. / would then forego all rae
ing on the other side. and give all my at
tenton to preparing for the cup race.
And. after all. l might be beaten worse
under the universal rule than ! was be-
fore, but at least l could say / had been
given an equal chance. Mind you. if any
one else wants to challenge / shall al
ways be pleased to help him. | have
been asked to wait and give some others
an opportunity, but none have come for
ward so far"
IF the report is true, Sir Thomas. that
you intend to build two yachts, whom
would you commission to design them?"
1T is true, and-well, naturally Fife
would design one of Them and, l think
Nicholson. who has had great success
with the Istria. of the fifteen-meter class
would get the other. Then l should race
them against each other, as they do
here. and send the better one over And

FOREIGN POWDER TESTS
PLANNED BY FRANCE
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
PARIS, October 3, 1912.
The Temps announces that the ministry
of marine has given orders to subject to
exhaustive tests fifty tons Of powder from
Sweden and Italy. with the view Of using
it in the navy If this Is true it marks
a notable and most welcome departure
from the hitherto infexible rule to employ
only powder manufactured by the state,
which, unfortunately. has never proved
satisfactory. and IS universally believed
to be the original cause of most OF the
terrible catastrophes which have occurred
OF late years On French warships.
Last year a great scandal was unearth-
ed by one Of the state powder factories,
but it was more or less hushed up. The
disaster on the battleship L.berte led to
the decentralization of almost the whole
of the stocks OF powder in the fleet, and
even then the gravest doubts were ex-
pressed occasionally whether the small
provision substituted was of much better
quality or safer.

Ocean Trip Detrimental.

Asked if he considered that a racing
yacht built abroad would really be
strained by crossing the Atlantic any
more than ira race of Sandy Hook in
a blOw-an objection that has often been
raised-Sir Thomas replied: Yes. indeed
There is hardly any comparison. Cross
ing the Atlantic the boat gets a perpetual
battering. Why, if my Shamrock III had
had to remain at sea another twelve
hours when she was toWed over I'm 1901
believe she would have sunk. We had
to put a lot of new rivets in her here
to replace those sheared Off.
When asked if this could not be avoid
ed by building a yacht in Canada, he
said: mo, I'm sorry to say it could not
be done. We must have the best possible
construction for a racing boat, and they
are not able to do il there: at least, they
have not the facilities that our shipyards
have.
AS final word. Sir Thomas said II

In Racing Events Abroad.

When asked to tell of his racing abroad
Sir Thomas grew most enthusiastic. you
know" he said, 81 am racing all the time
in European waters. and we have just
closed a season of the finest racing l have
ever witnessed. One hundred and twenty
eight first-class racing boats took part in
the Kiel regatta. His majesty the Ger
man emperor sailed every day himself on
board his schooner the Meteor"
"How many races did you win this year
with the Shamrock" he was asked.
''She raced around the whole coast Of
England, Ireland and Scotland and ten
days at KEEL. replied Sir Thomas, land
out of total of tWenty-nine races she
won twenty-three first prizes. In Eng
lish waters she was allowed Z minutes
and 10 seconds by the emperor schooner
Meteor and the I<rupps' schooner Ger
mania, but she defeated them easily with
out the allowance.
Yachting in Germany is on the in
crease. They have fine fleet of racing
craft and the emperor encourages the
sport as a means of preparing his people
to become familiar with the and
ships
"How is yachting in England" Sir
Thomas was asked.
what it used to be. and it seems to be on
the decline. The first notable decrease in
interest In the sport was when motoring
came in vogue. Now the regattas are as
nothing compared with those of the past"

NEW YORK, October 14.-If Sir

not one of those who welcomed the
CHEEKY Americas cup challenger as he
paced the deck of the incoming steamship

Yesterday morning would guess it, AS a

would he glad to possess his ruddy COM
plexion, his remarkable vigor and that
sunny disposition so we'll known to his
American friends-and he has a host OF
them.
II have not come over to challenge Tor

~ greeting his visitors. ''but'-this with
a merry twinkle in his eye-'if some little
bird should whisper that the New York
Yacht Club. for whose officers and men,
bers Il have the highest regard. would
favorably consider challenge under the
universal rule / should be only too glad
to issue one. for i know that many would
like to hear again the report OF the start
ing gun off Sandy Hook. and it would
please me very much to- see my fighting
flag flying from Shamrock Nv in these
waters AS you know, l challenged sew
eral years ago under the universal rule,
but it was not accepted. 1t may. how
ever have been my fault through chal-
longing with type of boat that was too
small The New York Yacht Club on
other occasions have been kind and gen
erous to me, and l hate to do anything
that might cause them embarrassment
