SUPPLY OF AMMUNITION
ABOARD u. S. WARSHIPS
Admiral Strauss, Chief of Ordnance
Appears Before House Naval Com
mittce With Statement.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. IA
sufficient supply of ammunition is on
hand, Rear Admiral Strauss, chief of
ordnance of the navy, told the house
naval committee today to equip all
ships in commission reserve or already
constructed. The supply for ships
under construction or authorized, how
ever, is not adequate. For present
ships, Admiral Strauss said and ample
reserve supply also had been accumu-
lated.
The committee went into executive
session for the first time during its
consideration of the navy bill to get
actual figures oil ammunition, which
Admiral Strauss c""i1ed to reveal
publicly.
Admiral Strauss said e, ely American
ship of the California class carried
6. .,,0GU rounds in peace Oh war, but he
declined to state in open session the
number of rounds per gun that
amount presented. He also refused
to disclose what information the navy
had as to the amount of ammunition
used by belligerent ships during the
present war in fighting.
During the open hearings it devel-
oped that the navy department hopes
to obtain appropriations under which
it can store more than 100000 tons
of sodium nitrate or a two years SUD-
ply for the manufacture of navy pow
der, as a reserve as against the pos
sibility of war in which the United
States would be cut off from Chile.
Admiral Strauss would not be drawn
into discussion of navy target prac-
tlce. Chairman Padgett read a letter
from Admiral Fletcher, however. as
sertlng that the open sea work of the
fleet last year showed rs per cent
Improvement over the preceding year
and was the best in the history of the
service.
Target practice records were navy
secrets, Admiral Strauss said. ills at
titude was supported by Secretary
Daniels, who informed congress in re-
ply to resolution offered by Repre-
sentative Gardner that he could not re
veal details of the fleet target practice
