Short lengths of linen. damask or

and attractive bibs. if one has time for
little handwork, says the st. Louis
Republican. OF course, bibs that are
double are more practical than those
which are made of a single thickness
of the material. If they are made
double, it is wise to do the handwork
before lining them. Simple designs

Very respectfully,
WILLIAM CROZIER,


| Brigadier General, Chief of Ordnance
The General Burlington referred to il
General Crozier's letter is now re
ceiving pay for the government as q
retired army officer. When he ano

| General Burlington was chief of ord

was a captain.
| When General Burlington was re
tired, his business partner, Captain
/ CroZier, was jumped over % officers
of the line to be made chief of ord
nance, the occupant of which position
awards the contracts for guns, ammu
milton, and supplies for the ordnance
department.
/ Representative Smith, in defending
General Crozier. did not deny that
Generals Crozier and Burlington re
ceived $4,000 from the Bethlehem
company, nor that they entered into
contract by which they were to re-
ceive royalties until the sum of $50, 900
should have been received by them. In
his letter TO the Bethlehem company
General Crozier simply released the
Bethlehem company from ANY further
consideration or compensation"
1 am informed that what happened
was this: Immediately after General
Burlington and Captain Crozier went
into a contract with the Bethlehem
company in 1894, the Bethlehem com.
pany sent agents to all of the coun-
tries of Europe in the hope of selling
them the Buffington-Crozier disappear
ing carriages, which had been perfect
ed. 1t will be remembered, with the
American peoples money.
Various European nations, | am in
formed, tested these gun carriages,
and not one nation would buy them.
not believing them practical. In the
meantime the United States had been
loaded down with sS,000,0O0 worth of
such carriages, and is still buying
them. Since no Burlington Crozier
carriages could be sold to foreign gov
ernments, General Crozier sacrificed
nothing by releasing the Bethlehem
company in 1918 from its contract.
These gun carriages may be as dead
ly in warfare as General Crozier
claims. and their purchase by this
government through General Crozier
may be an excellent investment II
do not know.
What l take particular exception to,
and what i believe the American peo-
pie would take exception to If they
knew OF these facts. is that army of
fcers should have any business con-
nection whatever with the ammunition
ring, and that instruments or war per-
fected as result of the expenditure
of money raised by taxing the Ameri- |
can people should be even offered to
foreign governments by an American
army officer.
Let us see how this policy would |
work out: II this nation should en-
gage in war with nations equipped
with such weapons, American sailors !
and soldiers would be moved down |
