American Ammunition in War

n NE of the most popular brands Of modern
~ fiction is the letter from somebody in
Germany to somebody else in this country.
describing how the writer's brother uncle
two cousins and nephew by marriage have
been killed on the battl, fields of Europe "by
American Shells" These mssives are SUP
posed to explain the current Germanc hatred
Of America and things American; what they
really explain is the perfection of the Ger
man press bureau.
Only a little while ago we had a solemn
statement from Berlin to the effect that while
the English shrapnel and explosive shells
were only 4 per cent efficient, and the French
only SO per cent efficient those made in the
United States revealed an efficiency of 90
per cent Still more recently we were regaled
with accounts Of an interview with the Crown
Prince of Bavaria, wherein he estimated the
percentage of American shells used by the
French artillery at SO per cent of the total
The facts are that up to three weeks ago
not n single American shell had reached the
firing line in France. Since then the de-
liveries, If, in fact there have been any must
necessarily have been so small a scale as
to add relatively nothing to the tremendous
quantities OF ammunition each day expended
by the allied armies. The pathetic missves
were the products either of an overexcted
imagination, or OF a creative ina gination de-
hberately directed to their composition.
One American manufacturer of shrapnel
mas peeh MAKING deliveries since June 81,
but the others have not been able to start
AS we in Richmond, who have watched the
efforts of the American Locomotive COMPANY
to get its local plant ready for the manufac-
ture OF ammunition, well know, there Is some
difference between obtaining an order and
delivering the finished product
If the German leaders have really believed
that half the artillery ammunition fired by
the armies of France was made in this coun-
try. they are due to receive an UNPLEASANT
awakening. 1t is obvious that those were
French shells that rained on the labyrinth
and made possible the French advances north
of Arras. The American ammunition has not
reached the scene of war, but great ships are
now being loaded with shells in the harbor
of New York. 1t is not uncomfortable that
they may turn the tide Of battle.

The expedition has been successfully landed the

Some OF the inside workings of certain things
that laymen are usually unable to understand
may find explanation in the following para
graph, taken from the Norfolk VirEinian Pr
lot: The University of Indiana wants Mr.. Bry-
an to occupy its chair OF political economy Mt
salary OF $4,000 year. 1t would be a good
bargain for the university. But the difficulty
presents Itself that Mr.. Bryan could not live on
the much larger salary attaching TO a Cabinet
officer without eking 1t out by spending the
greater portion of his time on the Chautauoua
circuits. Still that objection may not be in
superable. Mr.. Taft holds a chair in the facul-
ty OF Yale and yet seems to have leisure to be
everywhere In the United States except at New
Haven. Perhaps the Indiana institution would
be equally willing to pay for the mere name
OF its professor"
