Daniels Denies Reported
Loss of U. S. DeStr0yers

Washington. June 2.-As result
of the accident on board the armed
American merchantmen Mongolia
which cost the lives of two nurses
the navy, has abandoned the use Of
brass cups on shells, substituting
wood, Rear Admiral Earle told the
senate naval committee today. In the
accident aboard the Mongolia, the
brass cup rebounded, striking the
nurses.
Senator Poindexter asked Secretary
Daniels, who also appeared before
the committee if it was true that two
American destroyers had been lost in
European waters recently owing to
defective ammunition.
"None has been lost" replied the
secretary eihphatically, "but some of
my good brother editors lose one and
perhaps whole feet every day"
Questioned further regarding the
guns and ammunition furnished to
armed merchant vessels by the navy,
Rear Admiral Earle said:
Il believe that the powder, the
shells and the guns are as good as
can be made I think by the substi-
tuition of the wooden plug for the
brass cup all danger will be removed.
| am firmly convinced there will be
no more trouble"

the European war;" Colonel Sage said
today. mo orders effecting any other

In handing down his decision Judge
