HIS CRITICISM WAS AT FAULT
English General Had Much 70 Learn
Of the Geography Of tho
United States.

The European has grown so accus-
toned to sneering at the American for
his ignorance of European affairs.
especially since the outbreak Of the
war, that we have grown TO take the
snub submissivelv. with never
thought Of the even more gross ignor-
ance Of things American on the part
OF Europeans.
Yet that such ignorance Is common
in Europe, even among the educated
and military classes, there is no doubt.
The elder Charles Francis Adams, who
was United States minister to Great
Britain during the Civil war, used to
tell the following experience with
prominent Englishman:

cable then laid under the Atlantic, a
steamer from New York brought to
the American legation in London dis.

SNOKELESS POWDER

Only 100 Shares Voted
Against Liquidation OF
dupont Concern
COMPANY MAY
TAKE PROPERTY

Stockholders Of the International
Smokeless Powder and Chemical
Company at a meeting held yesterday
In Camden, decided to dissolve the
corporation Contrary to expecta-
tiOns, little opposition was made to
the proposition of the board of direc-
tors.
The resolution to liquidate the com
pany was adopted by a vote of II .604
shares preferred and l54,617 shares
common in favor. to only 100 common
shares against George II. Stephenson.
one of the minority owners, who had
previously protested against the ac-
tion, refused to vote and left the meet
ing. w. J. Mclaughlin, another pro-
testing shareholder, withdrew his OBJ
jectiOns later.
According to a statement by Pierre
5. DUPONT who presided at the meet
ing, the L, |. dupont de Nemours
Powder Company is expected to be
the purchaser OF the company's prop
erty at price of approximately $50
a share.
At the annual meeting of the stock
holders on Febrnary 9 Messrs. Steph-
ensOn and Mclaughlin asked some
pointed Qdestions of the management
as TO the reasons for the proposed
liquidation, in view of the large Eu-
ropean war orders. Pierre 5. du-
Pont. J. r. Laffey, director of the
company. and !. ]. Raskob, the treas
urer made reply TO these questions
yesterday.
Mr.. DUPONT said the company
sought dissolution because its plant
near Perth Amboy has but one un-
finished contract and that is with the
United States Government, which Is
now making its own powder. He said
that the DUPONT International Powder
Company controls 80 per cent. of this
stock, and they did not think it wise
TO continue under present conditions.
He said that it was a question up to
the stockholders 10 continue or dis
solve and that il was not the object
to infringe upon the stockholders
rights.
II will be necessary to file notice Of
dissolution with the Secretary OF
State of New Jersey and advertise
the fact thirty days. A meeting of
stockholders viii be called later TO
ratify the acceptance of bids for the
property.
