REQUEST IS DENIED.
French Government Not Permitted to
Inspect American Powder Processes.

Secretary Garrison has declined the re-
quest o fthe French government for per-
mission to have some OF its ordnance Of
fcers inspect the processes Of American
powder manufacture. The original request
covered not only the government fac
tories. but the great private corporations
which make the larger part OF the smoke
less powder consumed by the governpent.
The Secretary's declination as TO the
government factories was based upon the
lack of reciprocity on the part of the
French government which had DECLINED
to allow American ordnance officers 10
examine the French ordnance factories.
AS TO the private powder concerns. the
Secretary pointed out that the United
States government had no control what
ever over them.
The War Department buys most OF its
powder under contract from an American
company-the du Portland that corpora
ton protested vigorously against the dis
closure of its trade secrets to a foreign
government. asserting that from patriotic
motives 1t had previously rejected over
lures from that foreign government to
sell it powder or to establish a powder
factory in France.

70 ELIMINATE THE UNFIT.


Surgeon General Stokes OF the navy has
advanced q proposition to improve the
personnel OF the commissioned officers of
the navy by eliminating all those who
are temperamentally unfit for naval serv-
ice in the higher grades. In special pa
per prepared by him the surgeon general
takes the ground that tie time has ar
rived when something more than the
ordinary physical test most be applied
TO naval officers, and that methods should
be developed for the segregation of those
temperamentaliy unsuited for a naval ca
reer. He holds that the success OF our
arms at sea may depend largely upon the
temperamental qualifications OF the COM
mander in CHIEF
1t is probable that the present system
Of monthly physical exercise by navat
Roosevelt, will give place to thorough
annual physical and medical examins tgn

monthly ten mile walk is only an annoy
