Each team leader will be provided

an oaken and silver shield to the Or

The secret o. the American gov
ernment's "twenty-four hour smoke
less powder" has been betrayed.
The United States has lost forever
this tremendous advantage it would
have had in war.
The incident is expected to give
impetus to the Clayton bill. being
pushed by the Army League, which
would broaden the recent law max
ing it a felony to disclose govern
ment secrets
The usual smokeless powder Is
slow of manufacture. 1t requires
firm four to six months and if manu-
featured in shorter time may ex-
plode spontaneously, destroying the
dreadnaught carrying it. Any enemy
who used up his powder would be at
the mercy OF the nation whose pow
del remained.
Hudson Maxim, the American wiz
a,a in the realm of explosives, dis
covered C. powder which could be
used within twenty -four hours.
He carried his secret to the gov
ernment's powdermakers, the du
Points. In deserted wing of the
factory Maxim mixed the wonderful
stuff with his own hands. 1t was
tested twenty-four hours later, ex-
pIcdine terrifcally and with but q
truce Of smoke.

Patriotism warred with purse
strings in that directors meeting.
Patriotism won. Vice President
Buckner of the DUPONT company
went personally to Washington and
impaired the exclusive secret to the
United States ordnance heads. Gen.
Ciozier and Admiral Mason.
The mixture was not patented at
all. At the factory it was arranged
that no single employee would know
the ingredients or proportions.
Further experiments removed even
the trace Of smoke. Several conf
Dental experts Of the government
were assigned to supervise the tests,
and in some way chemist not OF
their number, eminent, but too en-
crossed in science to appreciate
practical things, in his enthusiasm
for the chemical discovery prepared
scientific paper describing it. He
read this paper before meeting of
scientists in Washington. No bad
motive is attributed to him. The in
juno ton of secrecy seemed to make
no impression on him-that was all.

catastrophe when a scientific publi-
cation printed this address 1t was
too late then. The cables had licked

commission. "Year after year derail.
ments and collisions due to Identical
causes are reported" Under the
present law railroads are required to
report by telegraph to the commission
all accidents in which human life 10
lost.
q There are more employees killed
than passengers, many employees los
ing their lives in what are known as
industrial accidents that is, In the
operations of trains in yards and not
In wrecks. However, when it comes
to a wreck, there are of course, more
passengers killed. There are sur
prisingly large number Of what the
commission terms trespassers killed
on American railroads. This class in
cludes persons not employees, or pas
senge gers.
Now, what is being done to prevent
these accidents?
The commission has recommended
that 1t receive authority to large OK
tent over the physical operation OF
railroads. This authority would in
clude the prescribing of signals and
equipment, the character Of rails, com.
pulsory use OF steel coaches and q
variety OF other precautionary meas

Defect In Rails.
I The high speed Of trains has de-
veloped defect in rails that Is dan.
gerous, particularly in that the defect
can not be detected under present
methods in the making OF the rail or
after It is completed. Use Of the
rail- by the heavy trains running at
high speed develops the defect, and
ultimately a derailment takes place
that causes loss Of life and injury to
many persons.
Z This defect Is what Is known as

are now engaged in a series Of tests
with steel rails that may result in

erly-placed signals and tracks kept
clear of slow trains, high-speed trains
can be run with comparative safety.
But tho effort 70 maintain the sohed-
ules Of these fast trains and to bring
them In ON time creates an undesir-
able mental condition and increases
the chances of mistakes by employees.
Causes Disobediencs.
This mental condition, this desire
to bring the fast train in on time at
all hazards, leads to the disobedience
of many rules, and such disobedience
is often winked at by the very officials
whose duty 1t Is to enforce the rules.
Trainmen are thus encouraged to take
dangerous chances, knowing that If
they come through without accident
their infraction of the rules will be
ignored. It thus happens that most
of the accidents to htgh-speed trains
are directly caused by the failure of
some employee to perform his duty"
Summarizing the situation report
of the commission says: mo specific
cure for these disasters can be Of
fered, for none is at hand. Expert
ence has shown, however, that the
number and severity of railroad acct
dents can be materially reduced by
the introduction of methods and ap-
planes which are entirely practic-
able, and It is particularly encourag-
ing to note that there has recently oc-
Cured general awakening among
railroad managers and trainmen's or
ganized movement on the more
prominent railroads Of the country
to obtain greater safety"

CAUSES ARE ASSIGNED

If the railroads of the United States
had paid $4,000. the maximum
amount fixed by law as damages for
death, for every life lost on their lines
in the year which ended June 30 last,
they would have paid SOL ,150, 900. The
records OF the Interstate commerce
commission show that for the year
just ended there were 10,15O killed on
railroads in the United States and
more than 10000 persons were In
jured during the same period.
The figures as to the number killed
and injured are official and they indi-
cate that the railroads are more
deadly than war. More than 100000
persons have been killed on American
railroads during the last twenty-five
years and more than 100000 injured.
Figure that out and see what it means
to families left dependent, bereaved,
and their futures changed. to tnsur-
ance companies and to the railroads
themselves, and you will not wonder
that the Interstate commerce commits
sion is taking the matter seriously.
While the efforts of the commission
have brought about some improve
ment, it is only slight, as for the
fiscal year which ended June 80, 1913,
1864 were killed, S14 more than last
year. '"The ravages Of war pale into
insigniticance before these silent In
dications of the destruction Of human
life which accompany the peaceful
operations Of our railroads" said a
commission official.
The causes Of death and injury are
legion. They include derailments, col
lisions, boiler explosions, miscellan-
eous train accidents and industrial
accidents to employees. The larger
percentage OF killed and injured are
numbered among employees. Accord
ing to figures that have been com
piled by the commission for the per-
Tod from 1907 down to date, the prop
erty loss due to wrecks, ETC., amount
ed to over 325,o0O,o00.
