the impurities can dance no more.

Washington. Jan. T.-Contracts for
armor piercing navy projectiles of the
IA and 1s inch type. totalling sS,14l,-
900. today were awarded by Secretary
Daniels to the Hadfields Limited, the
English munition company.
Bids from American firms were more
than 5000 a shell In excess OF that
submitted by Hadfields. In announc-
ing the award Secretary Daniels said
the department had made every effort
to secure reductions in prices which
would enable 1t to give contract TO
an American concern, but had failed
to obtain satisfactory bids.
The question of delivery. aside from
cost of the shells, was an important
factor in favor Of Hadfields- On the
$500 14-inch projectiles delivery was
guaranteed in 10 months. and for the
5000 16-inch, 1s months was specified.
Time proposals from American bid
ders were approximately twice those
of the British company.
