AUDITOR DARST
DEFENDS HIS
PARTN|ENT
State Official Denies Making
transfer of Funds to Meet
Current Expenses.

CHARLESTON, Mar. 1e. Any inn
preston gained by anyone that i have
diverted the revenues of the state
from one fund to another in order to
meet the current expenses of the
state government, without authority
OF law, is erroneous" was the man
5ner in which State Auditor John s.
Darst this week met a question pro-
pounded as to the manner in which
the state funds were used.
Il have heard 1t intimated from
time to time" said that state official,
that the auditor had used revenues
other than those in the state fund to
meet the general charges on the treas
ury in order that the balance in the
state fund on the first Of each month,
when monthly report is made, might
show a healthy condition, -
Asked as to whether he had ever
used any OF the money belonging to
other funds to meet these expenses OF
the state government, Auditor Darst
said:
No, sir. i have never taken one
cent from any other fund and placed
in the state fund or diverted these
funds in any manner in order to meet
the drafts on the treasury or for any
other reason
Twice within the last year the
board OF public works has been COM
PEELED to borrow money for a short
time to replenish the state fund when
heavy drafts have been made. We
borrowed this money, however, in the
regular way and paid it back with
the exception Of the last loan OF $780,
900, which the board Of public works
has not ordered repaid. Rs
Both these loans have been made
from the school and the workme ems
compensation fund, and these amounts
have been paid back into the proper
funds funds, with the exception Of the one
stated
There has been no switching from
one fund to the other during my term
as auditor. and no money secured
from the state fund except as author
izeH by the board OF public works in
the regular way.

MILLION
SHOTS FIRED DAILY
BY GERMANS ALONE
Says an English Authority and
: No Allowance is Made for
Machine Guns.

K
Correspondence OF Associated Pressl
LONDON, Mar. 133.-Twenty six mill
lion shots are being fired daily By
the Germans alone, according to es-
Inmates credited to zone OF the worlds
foremost authorities on copper whose
discussion OF the Importance of this
metal is published in the Times, with
his name withheld.
His estimate Of 90 200; 900 German
shots every tWenty-f hours, is has,
ed on the belief that the German fir
ing line extends in all about $50 miles
and the CONSERVATIVES guess that l.
100000 Germans are taking part in
the engagements daily, to the extent
at least Of firing 20 shots each. This
would be a low average, he believes,
as during real engagements hundreds
OF shots are fired by each man.
Since a rife cartridg e, unloaded,
weighs 1915 grains, the total wastage
OF brass in. this form would amount
to 6S7 ,o1S pounds, or roundly sos tons
per day. These figures made no al
glowance for the machine guns, which
spit out bullets every second.
Owing to the mud and water in
which SO many of the. battles have
been fought, the writer believed 1t
was doubtful that five per cent OF the
cartridges used were recovered for re-
melting.
Not even Germany's huge prepa-
arationa could have provided for such
"a waste OF copper for any length OF
time he declared.
