Patriotism warred with purse strings in that directors meeting. Patriotism won. Vice-President Buckner of the DuPont company went personally to Washington and imparted the exclusive secret to the United States ordnance heads, Gen. Crozier and Admiral Mason.
 The mixture was not patented at all. At the factory it was arranged that no single employe would know the ingredients or proportions.
 Further experiments removed even the trace of smoke. Several confi- dential experts of the government were assigned to supervise the tests. and in some way a chemist not of their number, eminent, but too en- grossed in science to appreciate practical things, in his enthusiasm for the chemical discovery prepared a scientific paper describing it. He read this paper before a meeting of scientists in Washington. No bad motive is attributed to him. The in junction of secrecy. seemed to make no impression on him-that was all.
 The administration awoke to the catastrophe when a scientific publi- e. tion printed this address. It was too late then. The cables had licked the formula to dozen foreign capi- tals.

HJDS oN MAX M

The secret of 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 bin, being pushed by the Army League, which would broaden the recent law mak- ing it felony to disclose govern ment secrets.
 The usual smokeless powder is slow of manufacture It requires from four to six months and if manu- factured 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 der remained.
 Hudson Maxim, the American wiz ard in the realm of explosives, dis covered powder which could be used within twenty-four hours.
 He carried his secret to the gov- ernment's powdermakers, the du Fonts. In a deserted wing of the factory Maxim mixed the wonderful stuff with his own hands. It was tested twenty-four hours later, ex- ploding terrifically and with but

German Cruisers to Be Under Com

London, Aug. 15, 3:05 A. M.-The Daily Mail states that the cruisers Goeben and Breslau, reported to have been purchased from Germany by Turkey have received Turkish names and will be placed under the com- mand of Rear Admiral Arthur H. Limpus, of the British navy, who was lent as naval adviser to the Turkish government in 1917.
 The Mail says that Turkey does not intend to employ the warships against Russia, and adds: There ap- pears to be no doubt that their pur- chase is direct contravention of international law; but the opinion is gaining ground in diplomatic circles that Turkey is the victim of Ger man trap to embroil her with the triple entente"

OFFERS SOLUTION
 OVER SHIPPING
Propose CoVernn mt Insurance
 Against War Risks.

Washington, Aug. 15.-Government insurance against war risks of Am ~>erican register ships and their car goes was the solution offered yester- day by sixty-two representative busi- ness men of the country for the stop page of American overseas commerce because of the European war.
 The proposal was made in definite form after an all day conference pre- sided over by Secretary McAdoo of the treasury department who called the meeting. Virtually all the larg- est banking and shipping interests in the United States were represented.
 Committee of Twelve.
 The conference appointed com mittee of twelve, headed by Seth Low, president of the National Civic Feder atton, to remain in Washington and advise with the governmental de- partments and committees of congress during the framing of legislation be- Tieved necessary to relieve conditions produced by war abroad. The com mittee last night began drafting a bill to be presented to congress inn mediately and pressed for passage with a view to having a government insurance bureau in operation as possible after the pending measure modifying restrictions upon Ameri- can registration of foreign built ships goes into effect.
 In addition to Secretary McAdoo. officials who participated in the con- ference were Secretaries Houston and Redfeld, all the members of the fed eral reserve board; Senator Owens and Representative Glass, chairman oF "a md hon kj inc committees, and Representative Ad- 2mson, chairman of the house inter- state and foreign commerce com
 Behind Closed Doors.
 To insure freedom of discussion; the conference was held behind closed doors, but the resolution adopted and some of the proceedings of the conference were made public in a statement issued last night by Secretary McAdoo. The statement de- clared it to have been the concensus of opinion at the conference that with enlarged registry off. American ships and action by the government supplementing what private com- panies might do in connection with insurance, the questions of exports of grain and cotton and of foreign ex- change would rapidly solve them Selyes."
 Many speakers, including J. F. Morgan, James J. Hill and other financiers, pointed out that Great Britain, France and Belgium already had provided for government war :n- surance of their merchant shipping. Against this action. they declared the United States would be helpless, as enc ships would pass under the Am erican flag with the passage of the proposed registry law unless their owners were assured of insurance un- der the Stars and Stripes. The re- suit would be a foreign monopoly of sea transportation, they predicted, and the fixing abroad of the price at which American wheat and cotton could be sold.
New Britain herald., 1914-08-15
Conference Resolution.

Following is the conference resolu- tion on this point which is the pivot of the plan of relief offered:
 Resolved, That this conference urge the United States government to establish a bureau of war risk insur- ance, to be administered under the direction of a suitable government de- apartment by board of three or five members, which shall assume the risks of war on American vessels and American cargoes shipped or to be shipped thereon, whenever in the Judgment of the board it shall appear that American vessels or shippers on American vessels are unable, in any particular trade, to compete on equa: terms with the vessels or shippers of Other nationalities by reason of the protection offered such other carriers or shippers by arrangements for war indemnity through their governments, and that such board have power to fix rates of premium subject to change to each country or for each class of 1eargo."
 Three Heads for Problems.
 Early discussion showed opinion to be unanimous among the business men and the government officials present that the problems to be faced divided themselves naturally into three heads:
 Restoration of a market for foreign exchange bills; the immediate acqu1- sition of means of transportation Tor American wheat and cotton to Euro pean markets, and the war risk 1n- surance.
 The conference interrupted its de- Alterations in the afternoon to go in body to the White House. President Wilson addressed them briefly.
 ~ Wilson Urges Cooperation.
 President Wilson declared he be-. lieved the time for apprehension in the United States over the war in Europe was past and that the per- iod of steady, sensible and connect ed action had arrived. He urged that the government and business CO., operate for the up-building of com 'fnerce.
 The president said he was much gratified to be able to meet represen- tative business men to discuss the common good of the country. The people have a right to expect that such cooperation will be exercised for the public benefit, he said, and that no question of selishness will be involved.
 You will find that this government has somewhat developed means for assisting business. We have been face to face with very alarming con- ditions. I believe the crisis now has
