Our nation has been quite success ful in Discovering war secrets of other nations, principally because American manufacturers Of munl- tions have been able to learn tf secrets through trade channels
 What the espionage of EurC1e once failed to do, namely, Go learn the secret of French smokeless pow der, was accomplished by an Ameri- can firm. The Dupont Powder Com pany, official powder makers, sent Hudson Maxim. the powder wizard, to Europe on this errand He dined with a Frenchman who had in his possession. one cartridge of the French smokele-s powder. This Frenchman burnt a saucer of it for Maxim's inspection. The American found about the charred edge ten grains of unburnt powder. The Frenchman saw them, too, but he was contemptuous of the Americans analytical ability, and he presented the grains to Maxim, thinking it was not enough for him to analyze. lt was enough. That night Maxim had Frances secret of uitro-cellulosc Maxim reported his discovery tC the Duponts, who turned it over tC 1 the U. S. government. e

Profound changes in the military policy of the United States will come as the result of the European war.
 The struggle is being charted as carefully in the worHrooms of lhe War College in Washington as 1t is in the war offices of Euro5s Our experts are at the front gather ing details, while over the maps in the War College bend the military professors under Brig. Gen. Macomb as intently as though experimenting in @ biological laboratory.
 One phase of the change pro5sbly will be seen in heavier appropria- tions of money. Rep. James Hay of Virginia, chairman of the house military affairs committee, will have charge of scheduling any increase and is closely following develop ments.
 The existence of the l1.2-inch Krupp siege guns was unknown to the rest of the world until a few months ago. No other phase of the war has more profoundly impressed our general staff. The incident is expected by the Army League and other Q societies advocating greater national secrecy to carry their propa ganda to success.
