Deadly Cotton.

1t takes 400 pounds of cotton to
make the powder for one shot from
the Queen Elizabeth's guns. or from
one of the German 17.inch guns. The
same quantity OF cotton would provide
ammunition for 400 shots from field
gun, or $4,000 rounds from q rifle.
Some idea of the consumption of
cotton in the war may be had from the
fact that 1000 tons day are required
to supply the German and Austrian
armies with powder.
The British cordite consists of two.
thirds guncotton. The raw material
10 dipped into nitric acid. washed and
dried. and the material thus supplied
becomes the base Of the explosive.
Gunc0tton can only be made from
raw cotton. Woven cotton IL of no
use. and any attempt to use 1t would
be dangerous.-Tid Bits.

From New York comes word that J.
p. Morgan and company have 100000
tons of munition steel orders to place
but can find no mills to guarantee de-
livery before 1918
That amount of steel is about two
thirds of one per cent of the annual
steel making capacity OF the country.
and in view of the fact that no mill
will assure delivery before fourteen
months hence some idea is afforded IS
to the sold-up condition of steel plant
in this country
The rather unique situation also af-
fords further testimony of the reason
for making extensions sucn as are be-
ing made in Industrial sections in spite
of high cost of materials and the
length of time required to complete
such new work.
1t Is generally believed that most
mills have some small amounts of
tonnage unsold, but the extent of such
available steel is so small as to be vir-
tually negligible. 1t is declared difficult

DENTIST
SUED FOR
DAMAGES
East Chicago Men Claim to
Be Victims of G. L. Davis,
D. D. S., Well Known in
Both Hammond and Gary
Circles

Charles Lightall Davis dentist with
offices in the Rimbach building in
Hammond and at Gary. has been made
defendant in two damage suits filed in
the superior court by two East Chi
eago plaintiffs, Joan QuinIan, Jr.. of
5005 Todd avenue. and John Norr of
1896 Todd avenue.
In both complaints. prepared by At
torneys Mcmahon & Conroy. it is al
legged that the plaintiffs became sick as
a result of dental work performed by
the defendant. and that they had to
have hts work removed and replaced
with work by another dentist.
The complaint of QainIan alleges
that DR.. Davis guaranteed to furnish
aim three gold crowns and two gold
filings for s26; that of Norr alleges
that DIR. Davis guaranteed to furnish
him six gold crowns for $20. The COM
plants of both then continue to allege
that Dr. Davis did not furnish gold
crowns for said teeth, but instead sub
stituted and placed on plaintiffs
crowns made OF alloy of brass and cop
per or other poisonous material un-
known to plaintiff and did fill his said
teeth as aforesaid. with intent then and
there to cneat and defraud this plant
iff
THAT by reason thereof the plant
ifs mouth and throat and stomach be-
came sore and inflamed and poisoned
and plaintiff was compelled to pay out
large sums of money for physicians
services and have said dental work
completed in his mouth by a compe-
tent dental surgeon
Each OF the plaintiffs ask $1,000
damages.
The law firm has several OF the
crowns in its possession to show them
to the jury as exhibits. There are
three dentists in Hammond by the
name of Davis. The East Chicago men
said they intended to go to DR.. w. H.
Davis. with offices in the Citizens bank
building, one of the city's leading men
in the profession anr that by mistake
they went to DR.. Charles Lightall Davis.

Bank, executor under the will. As to
what the actual value Of the HotcIa-
Kiss estate is unknown at the pres

fact that the Hotchkiss holdings and
rea! estate are among the largest in

NEW LONDON, Nov. 17.-An
attempted dash to sea by the Ger
man merchant submarine Deutsch-
land ended early today in a COLI
sion between the super submersi-
BILE and an escorting tug in which
Captain Gurney and four members
of the tug crew were drowned.
The Deutschland bound for Bre-
men put back to port Immediately
after the collision and by five
o'clock this morning was again
warped into her pier. She was
once more shielded by the liner
Whitehead, her mother ship. and
a big steel net was swung into
place further to guard her.
Was She Rammed?
Later this morning a report was
circulated that a mysterious motor
boat tried to ram the Deutschland and
that in attempting to protect the sub
marine the tug swung directly into
the path Of the undersea freighter.
This, however. was not confirmed by
the Eastern Forwarding company.
Work was Immediately begun by a
small army of worlSmen to learn the
extent of the submersible's damages
as a result of her second collision dur
ing the second trip. She smashed into
a pier when she made her start from
Bremen and was held up ten days.
Collision In Race.
The Collision this morning occurred
