WASHINGTON. April l6.-As IL re-
suit OF the statement of the German
government, in its recent note that
AN enormous new industry of war ma
terials Of every kind is being bull,
up in the United States" officials here
have been interested in finding out
the extent to which the business has
increa sed. to determine whether the
allegation is based on fact
The Du Font Company. the only
manufacturer of military powder in
the United States. has built to new

Two or three other plants manufacture
ing war materials have made additions
10 their works. and NJ least one has
installed special machinery for the
manufacture OF military rifles. and is
at last ready TO make shipments
Heretofore only sporting rifles have
been made in this country. The War
Department, makes its military rifles
in its own plants.
The most interesting phase OF the
situation is the activity of the Du l'ont
Company. whichehas been kept partly

The extent OF the plans and its ca

the manufacture of explosives for for

The Du Pont Company has probably
benefited more from the war than any
other single concern. At Pennsgrove
\. j.. it has another plant. The town
has increased from 1000 TO 1000 popu-
lation in a few weeks, and il is ex
pected TO reach 10000 by September
II is estimated that force OF $500
men is working night and day making
explosives, and every day long freight
trains. loaded with the product, leave
the plant for Canada.
Reports from Pennsgrove SHOW that
the town is experiencing a real estate
and business boom. The Du Points are
constructing l49 houses for skilled
mechanics, ten houses Of better quality

families. and have remodcled a large
structure, at cost OF $4,000 into
living quarters for the clerical force
