AMPLE AMMUNITION
 FOR ALL OUR SHIPS
Admiral Strauss Tells House Con-
 mittee-Target Records Secret

Washington, Feb 2.-A sufficient supply of ammunition is on hand, Rear Admiral Strauss, chief of ord- ( nance of the navy, told the house naval committee yesterday, to equip all ships in commission, reserve or already constructed. The supply for ships under construction or authoriz- cd. however, Is not adequate. For |, present ships, Admiral Strauss said an ample reserve supply also had been accumulated.
 The committee went into executive session for the first time during It's consideration of the navy bill to ger actual figures on ammunition which Admiral Strauss declined to reveal publicly.
 672,OOO Pounds of Powder.
 Admiral Strauss said every AmeriT can ship of the California class, car ried 672,000 pounds of powder Tn peace or war, but he declined to state in open session the number of rounds per gun that amount represented. He also refused to disclose what infor" nation the navy had as to the amount of ammunition used up in fighting by beIligerent ships during the present war.
 During the open hearings 1t devet- oped that the navy department hopes to obtain appropriations under which it can store more than 30,OOO,O0N tons of sodium nitrate or Q two years supply for the manufacture of navy powder, as a reserve against the pos slbility of a war in which the United States would be cut off from Chile. Because of the lack of ocean carriers at anything but exorbitant freight rates also, it is planned to brtng some of the nitrate to this country n naval vessels.
 Admiral Strauss would not be drawn into a discussion of navy tar get practice, saying that matter rest ed with a particular division of ths operations bureau which could furn- ish what information was desired.
 Letter From Fletcher. Chairman Padgett read a letter from Admiral Fletcher, however, as- serting that the open sea work of l the feet last year showed 25 per cent improvement over the preceding year and was the best in the history of the service
 Further light on the subject was sought of Admiral Strauss during the closed session of the committee. E.
 Target practice records, ammunk tion supply and similar matters are. regarded as navy secrets, AdmiraT Strauss said His attitude was supp ported by Secretary Daniels, who in~ formed congress in reply to resolu- ton offered by Representative Gard- ner, that he could not reveal detaiM Of the fleet target practice.
 Secretary Daniels Data.
 The data" Secretary Daniels rA- ported, would give to all foreign powers just the information most de- sired by them. Such information is considered by all powers as most com fdential and such as they strive hardest to keep secret. An analysis of the data will at once show the amount of danger to be expected upon encountering any one of those vessels"
 MT. Daniels appealed to the house again today for an emergency appro- priation to deepen the approaches to the New York navy yard.

MORE WAR ECONOMY.

London, Feb. 2.-Fewer and slower express trains is the war economy the British railways are to practice this year. Besides disseminating express es the railways have reduced local services, closed smaller stations and branch lines and cut down the num- Der of Sunday trains. The excuse of fered by the companies is their re- duced staffs. They do not allege loss of traffic, as the freight business is as heavy as ever and the hauling of soldiers makes up for reduced cXcur- sion and tourist travel.

SCRAP RACES
AT POz|ERES
ON SOMME LINE

LONDON, Aug. 12.-Continuous
fighting is in progress in the district
north of Pozieres, on the Somme front
where the British are at grips with
the Germans.
The Germans assaulted the new po-
sitions of the British in that region
last night, the war office announced
today, but the attack was repulsed
Elsewhere the official report states,
the position on the British front is un-
changed.
For many days and nights there
has been great activity in the zone of
operations thanking the Albert-Ba-
paume highway north of Pozieres.
The Germans, alarmed by the loss
of trenches on the $50 yard high ridge,
have been making desperate counter
attacks, but these have all proved
failures. Not only were they repulsed
but the British have advanced their
liner lines still further, principally by
the use Of bombs.

HIGH ADVANCE
IN WHEAT COST

CHICAGO, July 12.-Announcement
that the federal authorities have an
investigation under way to determine
if there has been manifulation in the
recent skyrocket advance in the price
Of wheat, has revealed the fact that
agents of the department of justice
for some time have been checking UP
the wheat in storage in the north
west. Men sent out by Hinton G.
Clabaugh, chief investigator for the
department of justice here, a week
before the bullish government crop re-
port was made public, found there
will be 100000 bushels of wheat
from this years crop. OF the 1915
crop, millers and dealers held out 16O,'

ton is about 620,000,000 bushels. APP
proximately 200,000,O00 bushels can
be exported without endangering the

vestigators.

Representative Of the Terre Haute,
indianapolis and Eastern Traction
company served notice on the board
of county commissioners this after
noon through their attorney, w. H.
Letta that they would either build a
bridge of their own, refuse to enter
the city, or come in some other way
than help defTay the cost of new
structure at Main street.
The traction company was repre-
sented at the hearing this afternoon
by Vice President Appel, Superintend-
ent Jeffries and Attorney Letta.
County Attorney Hoelscher- stated
before the meeting that he could not
keep the company off the bridge pro-
vided it was strong enough to carry
interurban cars, but said if the span
We're built so that it would not carry
interurban traffic, the company would
have no recourse.
Attorney Letta argued that traction
engines were permitted to use the
bridge because it was of public con-
venience. The people were benefited
thereby. For the same reason OF pub
lie good, the traction company should
be permitted to use the structure. Not
