6pec1Al CAble 70 me washington Herald.
Petrograd, Oct. 10-In the following
proclamation Grand Duke Nicholas, Rus
sian commander-in-chief, calls upon the
peoples of Austria-Hungary to welcome
the Russians as deliverers:
The Viennese government declared
war against Russia because Russia was
faithful to her historical tradition and
could not leave Servia defenseless and
permit her to be enslaved. Entering at
the head Of the Russian armies within
the confines of Austria-Hungary, I pro-
claim to you, in the name Of the Great
Russian Car, that Russia, who more
than once has shed her blood for the
liberation Of peoples from foreign yoke,
seeks nothing except the establishment
Of truth and justice.
TO you, peoples of Austria-Hungary,
she also now brings freedom and the full
hlment OF your national aspirations. The
Austro- Hungarian government has for
centuries sown among you the seeds Of
discord and enmity. for only on your
indinerences could she establish her au-
thority over you.
Russia, on, the contrary, strives only
after one thing, that each Of you may
develop and prosper, enjoying the preci-
Gus heritage Of your fathers. your lam
guage, and your faith: and that being
united with your brethren by blood. you
may live IN peace and harmony with

The Du Pont Powder Company has CO.

say.
II has shown the government how to
save money in using powder; how to ex-
tend the life OF guns by using a safer
and different kind OF powder: how to use
alcohol over and over instead Of losing
II by evaporation.
To take advantage of the necessities
Of the government and increase prices in
time Of stress is a thing that the Du Pont
Powder Company has never done.
And yet this is one Of the lies that cir
culate like ammonia in an ice plant
1t is a pleasant thing for the muck
raker to state, inasmuch as many igno-
rant people are willing to accept the libel
as legal tender.
Reasons light as air are to the jeal-
Gus confirmation strong as Holy Writ -
Norgood quotes Scripture for his pur-
pose. 1t Is a measly malamute who, oc-
cupying a high position in the literary
world, will use his position to libel en-
terprise and belittle industry. Norman's s
range is shown when he goes into part
nership with Lincoln Stefens, the man
who argued that the McNamaras in
blowing up Industrial buildings and
dynamiting bridges were fighting in q
war for human rights.
Steffens is not only willing that certain
newspaper plants should be blown up, in
the interests OF free speech. but he wants
to hoist civilization at the same time.
Norgood has gotten himself polluted
with the faliacies Of MARKHAM Steffen-
ism, inoculated with the political pto-
mains Of asinine and anserine anarchy.
Hap and Stef both regard success as
sinful: organization as conspiracy; and
actual. simple occurrences they are
quite ready to construe into treason.
They believe things first. and then start
out to prove them. And being con-
WINGED. any old proof Is good enough.
So behold. In Hapgood's fusillade en-
titled The Powder Trust" he accuses
the Du Pont people of selling out to
Germany and giving away the secrets OF
explosives to a foreign country!
Why does he not state the truth. as he

tony Of Civilization" Says Buckle: There
Is no instance on record of an ignorant
man who, having good intentions, and
power to enforce them, has not done far
more evil than good. And whenever the
intentions have been very eager, and the
power extensive, the evil has been enor-
nous.
III he has no fear, IL he is entirely un-
selfish, If his sole object is the good Of
others, II he pursues that object with
enthusiasm, upon large scale, and with
disinterested zeal, then Nit is that you
have no check upon him, you have no
means Of preventing calamities which
this ignorant man will be sure to infIct.
Tt is an undoubted fact that an over
whelming majority Of persec8tors have
been men Of the purest intentions, of the
most admirable and unsulIied morals.
1T is impossible that this should be
otherwise

The fifth falsehood is that the secret Of
manufacturing smokeless powder was tn.
invention or discovery OF the UniteC
States government. and that the Du Pom
Powder Company, having come into pos
session of this secret, has given It away
to foreign nations.
The vice president Of the Du Pont com.
pany shows that there are no secrets In
the manufacture Of powder. any more
than there are secrets In the making Of
pie. 80
Norma 4 Ia shown that the formulas OF
powder-making are known 20 the chem
lists Of the world and can be purchased
In q book that can be bought for S1-50
So II you want to try the thing out. Nor
man, sell fifteen copies Of your magazine,
raise the money. and go TO 1t.
The vice president Is something Of g
logician. He is certainly a congealer OF
Industrial historic fact. In four short
paragraphs he gives the history OF
smokeless powder-prepares. pellet OF
fact to cure falsehood.
First. smokeless powder was invented
in France by the chemist Vieille.
Second. a German by the name of
Mendeleef invented a way to colloid It.
or cover 1t with q coating so II could be
safely handled and transported.
Third, Francis @. du Pont, OF Will
mington. succeeded In manufacturing the
article in comparative safety and great
ly reducing the cost. thus standardizing
the manufacture of the article and max
ing IL a practical success, a thing which
neither the Germans nor the French
were able to do. With them II was
simply a successful laboratory expert
ment.
Fourth. Hudson Maxim, in the employ
Of tfe Du Pont Powoer Company. in
vented a way to perforate the grain OF
powder SO as to control the firing OF II
and regulate its intensity.
Please note that there were four steps
in the evolution OF smokeless powder.
and that two OF these steps were the
work OF the Du Pont Powder Company.
So it would appear that II there are
any proprietary rights about smokeless
powder. they are the property of the Du
Pont Powder Company.
Getting mt the Truth.
In its relations with the government
the Du Pont Powder Company has done
a lot of astounding things. One Of these
was to supply the government formulas
for mixing ingredients for powder and
blueprints for making buildings and ma
chinery When the government was to be-
come its competitor.

own engineers to help the government
construct its plant. That is, the Du

co-called secrets and donated the serv-
ices Of its engineers to assist the gov
ernment. I did not, could not. believe
this when I read 1t in Buckner's come
