Two years ago we took an order for
24OO fOurteen-inch armor-piercing shells
at a contract price of $768,O0O, to be
delivered within a certain time or we
had to pay large penalty.
The only specifications for making
these shells are. that they shall be
Of a certain size and must pierce
armor-plate at certain velocity on i'm
pact. 1t is impossible to foretell the
exact conditions Of the tests.
We had made large quantities OF shells
in the past which had been accepted.
But in placing this particular order the
Department altered the angle at which
the tested shells must pierce armor-
plate. The result, however, has been
absolute inability on our part to pro-
duce in any quantity, shells which will
meet these novel tests. In fact, we
know Of no process of projectile-mak-
ing through which it is possible to pro-
duce in quantities shells which will
conform to the requirements.
The result is that up to now on that
contract of $768, 900, we have put into
actual operating expense SAL, $751;, and
have been penalized for non-delivery
1896, IA, a total of $943, 625., with no
receipts whatever.
The Adair County news. [volume] (Columbia, Ky.) 1897-1987, 1917-01-31

Such was the experience in the light
of which we were called upon recent
" to bid for sixteen-inch shells.
We bid on these shells at approx
mately the same rate per pound as
that Of a fourteen-inch shell contract
of one year ago upon which the Gov
eminent awarded contracts.
The Adair County news. [volume] (Columbia, Ky.) 1897-1987, 1917-01-31

We have not the slightest idea what
profit there will be in the making of
these shells. We do not know that
there will,be any. There is no certain
ty- that it would be possible for US to
deliver shell to meet the test.
For officers in the Navy to assume
that any bid made under such condi.
lions is "exorbitant" is utterly unfair.
The Adair County news. [volume] (Columbia, Ky.) 1897-1987, 1917-01-31

We bid on the new battle-cruisers
sums which Navy department experts,
after examination Of our books, found
would yield a profit of less than ten
per cent. We agreed to assume risks
for increased costs Of materials and la
Dor, that made 1t possible that these
contracts might yield no profit what
ever.
The costs run beyond the amount ap-
propriated by Congress on the basis Of
: the cost estimates made year ago.
And because shipbuilders could not
alter the inexorable cost facts and re-
duce bids to early estimates OF the
Navy Department, the prices are called
"exorbitant."
It would be a real advantage to be
relieved of this naval construction. The
profit from it cannot possibly amount
to much, and the responsibility Is enor
NOUS.
We have determined to make this
offer to the American Government.
eff you will build two Of the battle
cruisers in Government navy yards,
we will build the other two at the as
certained cost of building the ships in
the Government yards, without add.
tional expense or commissions of any
kind. We will also contract to have
our ships ready for service ahead of
the Government ships"

NEW YORK SUN REVIEW.

New York, March 16.-The New York
Evening sun financial review today
said:
Out of the confusion banking and
securities circles were enabled today to
arrive at certain broad conclusions. 1t
is pretty generally accepted that the
Russian coup d'etat will operate as a
bullish influence.
The paramount influence nearer home
is the railroad situation.
AS in previous sessions this week, the
securities market ignored and discount
ed everything, favorable and otherwise.
Trading was dull and wholly profess
sional There were gains and losses In
the first hour or two, but by midday
prices were not so far removed from
the previous closing level. A few of the
specialties were conspicuously strong.
There was more action in the late
trading and price advances were gen.
eral. The railroads especially devel-
oped a better tone.

it might not be wasted effort to stop
long enough to pay a fitting tribute
to one of the heroes who has recently
passed TO the great beyond. General
Frederick Funston is one of the great
characters in American military his
tory. He was a hero whose achieve
ments merit no less recognition than
that given to such men as Sheridan,
Sherman, and other ell-known he
roes of previous wars. A liberal pro-
vision made now for the erection of
a suitable statue to General Funston
would do much to stimulate those
whom we are now sending to the
trenches in Europe. We must not

DOESN'T FAVOR

an original Progressive and the only
Senator ever to have claimed that
political designation. vas not among
those who sought { raise the stand
ard Of revolt against the finance COM
mittee's plans to produce revenue for
the war. His sturdy resistance TO
extreme radicalism found expression
in one of the most thoughtful Of all
the speeches Of the debate. With rea-
soned candor he pointed out that the
so-called war industries" 70 the
country are by no means all to be
found in the list of those where either
excessive capitalization or excessive
profits are the rule; but many of them
are small and many of them new es-
adjustments which have been created
by reason of the tremendous demands
of the war. These small establish
ments depend, in even larger measure
than the great corporations, upon
their surplus earnings for further de
velopment; and to take from them
their only safe means of expansion
would be to deny to many a com
munity its sole assurance of growth
in population and enterprise. The
robust voices of the West are not all
raised in favor of confiscation, as
Senator P~oindexter has shown.
