GERMANS FIRE MADE

Shells Claimed To Have Been

Headquarters of the British Army,
Northern France, April l4.-The Ger.
mans are firing shells marked "made
in the United States" against the
British. They have been doing so ever
since the American military attaches
were withdrawn from Germany.
1t is generally understood that the
American attaches were withdrawn be.
cause the Germans repeatedly called to
their attention the fact that the Rus
slams were using American shells. The
situation became so embarrassing to
the attaches that they found it neces-
sary to leave. Then, almost as soon as
the attaches had departed from Ger
many, British officers noted that the
Germans were using shells apparently
of American manufacture. They bear
the mark of "R. Stock and Co. F"
There is a sufficiently large colec.
tion of these shells at British head.
quarters to establish the fact that the
Germans possessed a considerable
supply of the supposed American am
munition. Whether they are using the
shells so as to indicate to the English
that their navy is not preventing the
shipment of ammunition from the
United States to Germany, or with the
intention of creating criticism of the
United States in England, are ques
tions as yet unsolyed.
There is no doubt that the shipment
of ammunition from the United States
to Germany ended almost as soon as
the war started, owing to the activity
of the English fleet. The shells thC
Germans are using were, therefore
either sold to Germany before the wa
or were not made in the United State
at all, but have been falsely labeled

YuCatan Fibre indispensable
To American Agriculture

can be of vital concern TO the United
States. Two words, however, explain
its mportance-binder Irvine.
OF this binder Irvine, the elaborate
harvesting machines, which have been
carried to their greatest perfection in
this country, use approximately 200,-
100000 pounds year. This year, in
deed, it is expected that the quantity
will be greater, for it is likely that
the grain crops will be the largest in
the history of the country. Approx
mately four-ffths of the raw material
needed for this enormous mass of
Irvine comes from Progreso in the
form of Yucatan henequen, or as it is
sometimes, though incorrectly, called,
sisal fibre. This Yucatan product pos
sesses two characteristics which make
it especially desirable for the self
binding harvesting machines. 1t is
cheap and it is sufficiently hard 10 be
cut clean by the knives of the knotter
in the binding device instead of jam
ming as softer fibre would do.
Previous to 1899 hemp was largely
used for this purpose and even now
there is a certain quantity of abaca,
the so-called Manila hemp, imported
from the Philippines 10 be made into
binder Irvine. The Manila product is,
however, much more expensive than
the henequen, and for harvesting pur-
poses is little, if any, better. Accord
ing TO the prices recently announced
by one of the large manufacturers of
binder Irvine in this country, binder
Irvine made of Yucatan henequen will
cost wholesalers, this year, 7l2 cents
for 500 feet or one pound, while high
grade abaca will cost 1919 cents for
$50 feet or one pound. These prices,
it should be said in passing, are for
business already booked" which pro-
vides an avenue of escape if exports
from Yucatan should be seriously in
terefered with in the future. This
difference in cost between Manila and
the Yucatan products has resulted, as
has already been said, in getting the
Yucatan growers four-ffths of the
American market.
In former years a certain amount
of true sisal fibre was imported from
German East Africa, British East
Africa, Java, Hawaii and the Bahia
mas. The supply from Hawaii,
though relatively small is most

Washington, ID. C.-When it was
announced that General Carranza
planned to blockade the port of Pro-

persons in this country who realized
that this particular incident in the

might cause the United States more
real loss than anything which has oc-
Cured since the downfall of DiaZ.

WAREHOUSE BIG
HELP TO WESTERN MICHIGA AN

Grand Rapids-The proposed Public
Elevator and Warehouse Company
for Grand Rapids is meeting with
widespread interest.
Approximately $4,000 of the CAPT
tai stock has already been subscribed
and tentative arrangements have been
made for the bonds which will be
placed upon the market on the organ
ization of the company.
On completion of the subscription
list the organization will be effected,
site decided upon and purchased, and
construction contract awarded.
The facilities afforded by the pro-
posed elevator and warehouse will
bring TO Grand Rapids several hun
dred thousand dollars worth of bust
ness that is now being transacted out
side the state of Michigan, and will
further make possible the storage by
farmers of their grain and beans be-
cause Of the negotiable warehouse re-
ceipts issued by public storage COM
panies. This in itself will make
Grand Rapids better market and by
so doing help the development of
Western Michigan.
