wolfram ore are all imported into this

manganese, heretofore brought from

upon which steel manufacturers are
dependent.
Should the supply be cut off American
ore would have to be used, with the result
that the manganese content would be
lower and steel produced only with great
Inconvenience and increased cost.
THE powder situation is even more
serious. From Chile comes nearly all the
supply of sodium nitrate. from which
nitric acid is made. This latter is essen
tial in the manufacture of guncotton.

6FHE dye industry of the United states
and the manufacturers of products
q derived from coal. which include
chemicals needed in coIors and IN the
making of those explosives which might
at any time be required for national de-
Tense. are knocking at the court of public
opinion for what they believe to be their
just due-na tional encouragement and
protection against somewhat cheaper
production in Europe. 1t is pointed out
that in certain European countries. nota :
bly, in Germany. the world principal
producer of dyes and Some explosive es-
sentials, the low price of the product has
been brought about not by natural IA
cilities or greater efficiency in pro1uc-
lion, but by government subsidies and
other government aids
The chemical industry of the United
States has had an uphill fight against
cheap production in Europe yet il has
coura geously stood by its guns or at
least by its plants and its ideals. Dr. II.
w. Jordan, in a recent address before the
American Institute of Chemical Engi-
neers, said Some of the most important
products which were widely heraded as
ha wing been produced for the first time
in America in 1915 were manufactured
fifteen to thirty Years ago. BenZol and
its homologues have been regular Ameri
can products, with shipments in carload
lots or tank cars. and with occasional eN-
portation to Europe, since 1900. Salicyllc
acid was manufactured at jersey City by
Zinsser & Co, from 1850 until 1897. when
foreign competition closed the plant. Syn
thetic carbolic acid was manufactured by
the Senet- Solvay Company from benzoi
at Syracuse in 1900. and the following
years in quantities up to $500 pounds
daily. The United States had several
well-euuipped plants prior to 1855 for
the principal coal dyes of
that day The industry grew and pro-
duced an increasing number OF synthet-
les The principal one of these manu-
ia cturers have continued without inter
ruption, and constitute the main body
of our present organic chemical indus
try"
The close watch which German and
English dye manufacturers have kept
on the American market and the
threat of American competition are
shown in the matter of the BenzoI
Products Company, which was or
sanized in 1910 by men long associated
with the acid. alkali and coal products
industry. 1t began the manufacture of
milne and aniline salt at frankfort,

ssmokeless powder. However. the eNtrac-
ton of nitrates from the atmosphere is
scientifically and commercially practical
and Is In operation in Germany. In the
United States there is only one such plant.
IF war were declared in the near future

The coast artillery and 129,39S of the Or

633 troops. The United States does not
possess sufficient ammunition for an army
of 100000 infantrymen for four days
lighting. nor enough artillery ammunition
to last our 775 field guns of all calibers
even two days"
j; j;
AS a means of improving the condi-
ton of military affairs Mr.. Huidekoper
suggests that there be an increase in
men and officers and that an end be
put to the dispersion of troops all over
the country, thus making the interests
OF the United States paramount to that
of small localities which profit by the
vicinity OF an army post
1T 'is an absolute impossibility," he
declared, that the army can be eco
