War and Powder

COL. Il. q. Buckner vice president II
the T.. |. du Pont de Nemouis Powder
company Of Wilmington, Del. arrived
at the Waldorf after what for him has
been an unusually long absenc,
amounting To several months. Col.
BuclSner expressed the wish that Mex
leo would hurry up and subside into
condition OF peace.
But doesn't the Mexican revolution
help your business, with all the shoot
ing that is going on?" he was asked.
THAT is where you are wrong" Col.
Buckner replied. Almost any business
is better off under peaceful conditions.
and the powder manufacturing BUSH
ness is no exception"
But your product is being consum-
cd"
do you know that in times Of peace
one miner will shoot away more pow
der than a whole regiment of soldiers"
asked Col Buckner. THAT is true. and
| the regiment has To keep fighting prct-
~ well all the time To make any show
ing against the single miner. As .
ditions to make the manufacture Of
powder profitable. Nowadays mines
are the big est consumers of powder.
Until lately, the mines of Mexico
have been quite large consumers of our
product, but the war down there has
almost destroyed the demand. In fact,
the powder consumed in the Mexican
war amounts to nothing as compared
with what we sold IN Mexico in times
Of peace.
Powder manufacturers are eager
! for peace if only because it is better
for their business, IN spite of the
speeches which learned congressman
nave the habit of making in Washing
ton. when they charge the powder
companies with being responsible for
war scares We are just as much op-
posed to war as anybody else, for the
reason | have mentioned.
But tremendous quantity OF pow
der would be consumed i'm big naval
battle, would il not"
Yes. but the character OF that Kind
lcf powder is such that the manufas-
! turcr could not take ADVANTAGE of a
demand for it for years To come, or UNI
til he could make up another reser,'.
| suppose you had "A squadron Of six
| American battlcships of the first class
engaged in battle, all armed with
fourteen-inch guns. Each of thorc
/ ships would carry about 10000 pounds
Of powder, or, roughly, there would bc
| 100000 pounds i'm the squadron. Sucn
of the ships as survived an equal con-
, test with a hostile squadron presum-
y ing there were losses of others, would
in all probability use mp most Of thor
supply. To replace the 100000 pounds
| lost or used would require six months
! before the first shipment could Lee
made, and to complete the whole order
| would take Il year and a half."-Ncw

A4AAAANNf SAiA' - A'Afs
Editor Calumet News:-My atten-
ton was called To an article in last
nights issue Of the News relative to
a Fourth Of July celebration in Red
Jacket, the Laurium council deciding
that it would alternate with its sister
village. Presumably the next step will
be a mass meeting and a week or so
later soliciting committees will call
upon the business men. To be pa
triotic. the merchants then must con-
tribute and the outcome will be a
dog race here, fat mems race there,
naIl- driving contest for women else
where and the ever present hammer
and drill contest everywhere. Mean
while the band will toot a few toots,
a hottest fireworks display will be held
at dusk, then a few more toots from
the band and a thousands dollars dis
appear.
While do not care to discredit the
celebrations we have held here in past
years. il occurs 10 me that patriotism
could be displayed in some other man
ner More attention could well be
paid to patriotic exercises. something
that will teach the younger generation
the actual meaning of the day, instead
OF a lot Of so-called athletic events
FOR amateurs An artistic display of
fireworks at night always will be an
attraction that appeals 10 every
and the greater portion of the funds
should be spent for that purpose.
This recalls to mind a big display Of
fireworks that was To have been a part
Of the firemen's tournament last sum-
mer, but owing 10 the strike, was
never removed from the original pack
ages in which it was received. / be-
lieye an appropriate time To give that
display would be on the night of July
