SAYS POWDER SUPPLY
OF EUROPE IS ENORMOUS
Du Point Officer Believes Warning
Nations Will Run Out of Men
Before Explosives.

Supplies of gunpowder in the maya.
zines of the warning European nations
are enormous, according to Col. E. q
Buckner, vice president of the du Pont
Powder Company. He says that France
alone has 225,OOO tons of powder. This
is nine times as much as all the smoke
less powder ever manufactured for the
United States. 1t is enough. he says, to
fill the magazines of every French war
ship seven times over and still leave an
immense supply for the French army.
Europe is likely to run out of soldiers,
of guns, of food. of money. before she
runs out of powder, is Col. Buckner' S
idea. He says England has even more
powder than France by reason of her
great navy and that Germany has as
much as France.
The powder supplies of the warning ma
tons are kept secret The European
mowers keep informed OF military prepa.
rations through their system OF esplon-
age. and they try to hold their war re-
sources on an equal footing. The enor-
nous French powder supply is cited as
prima facie evidence that the other bat
Ting powers have great powder reserves.
American makers of powder do not eX-
pect to sell any powder to European
belligerents.
Military experts in Washington say
they expect the European conflict to set

lulose powder the United States uses
England and Japan use cordite; france

time searching amid the wreckage. So
terrific was the explosion that only
one piece of wreckage was found large
enough to support the weight of a
man"
The Pathfinder flew the pennant of
Capt Francis Martin Leake. whose an
cestor was admiral of the fleet and first
lord of the admiralty in the time Of
Queen Anne. The cruiser had displace-
ment of 5000 tons. She was slightly
smaller than the British cruiser Amphion
which was sunk in the same manner Au-
sust s. Apparently the Pathfinder was
on the same sort of duty as the .Amphion,
being the parent ship of 4 fotilla OF de-
stroyers in Scottish waters.
The Pathfinder was built for scouting
purposes and was very fast. She re-
entered the service last October and was
reported short time ago as having en-
gagged German cruiser.
The admiralty is not alarmed by the
fate of the cruiser. they expect such
incidents and are taking steps to reduce
their number. It is now believed that
the Germans are using trawlers and other
fishing boats to plant mines.

The destruction of the Pathfinder occur

= point ten miles northeast of Saint
Abb's Head. Scotland. While she was
patrolling the coast the cruiser struck n
mine, which exploded near her magazine.
Trawlers ten miles distant felt the shock.
From Eyemouth, fourteen miles from the

smoke was visible on the horizon. A
torpedo boat destroyer was the first to
the rescue. She was followed by the

The Pathfinder was literally blown to

him. Then ne became more impudent, so
the keepers keep him locked in his cell
during working hours.
Until recently Qualey was generally re-
