FUSEMAKER SURPRISED
BY GUNNERY ACCIDENTS
John B. Semple Tells Probers
Perhaps Casing Caps Were
Too Heavy
WASHINGTON. June IL.

WASHINGTON, June 13.
The Senate Naval Affairs Committee re-
newed It's effort this afternoon to establish
the blame for the gunnery accident which
killed two Red Cross nurses on the Mon
gola and TO get to the bottom Of the
charges Of defective ammunition in the
navy
Senator Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey,
who instituted the inquiry attempted 10 OBJ
tain an explanation for the premature ex-
plosions Of shells fired from the Mongolia,
the 81. Louis, the St Paul and the Phla-
delphla. He called attention to the fact
that accidents had been unknown in the
navy for twenty years, and declared IL re-
markable that they should suddenly ap-
pear In such numbers Immediately after
the arming of the American merchantmen.
John B. semple, inventor and manufac-
turer Of fuses and tracers, said he was
greatly surprised at the accidents, and
said, Really I don't know" when asked
for an explanation Just as a pure guess,
he said IT was possible that the casing
cap was too heavy. He admitted that

URGES CHRISTIANITY
TO MAKE TROOPS FIGHT

Christianity does not make soldiers too
tender-hearted to fight. according to the
Rev. J. w. weddell. Of Woodbury. today
in session at Merchantvllle, n. j., to adopt
resolutions favoring a big evangelstic
movement in the army. The resolution was
adopted, together with one urging the ap-
pointment of a large force of army chap
lains to inpplant more firmly the doctrines
Of Christianity among soldiers.
Mr.. Weddell rose to the defense of Chris
tlanity as a fighting force after some one
had suggested that evangelical soldiers
would be too tender-hearted to make good
fighters.
"All history" he said, "refutes that sus-
gestion. In our own Civil War the very
best fighting generals were those who held
prayer meetings before going in battle"
Resolutions were adopted asking for ma
uonal prohibition and commencing the
President for his order prohibiting the sale
of intoxicating liquors to soldiers.
Reports of various committees showed
that considerable progress had been made
by the church in South Jersey during the
last year.
The general work Of the Baptist Confer.
ence was discussed at the morning session
by the Rev, Raymond w. West, of Newark,
while the Rev Charles S. Henderson and
J. Milton Slim spoke on church-extension

COTTON AIT HIGHEST
FIGURE SINCE 1871
25-Cent Mark Has Been
Reached and Staple May
Yet Reach 80 Cents
SHORT CROP BIG FACTOR
Spsciai Dfspdtch 10 the Evening LEDGER
~~r-rtr x-AnTy T,,,n -

NEW YORK, June 1S'
Bulls, who for months have been pre-
dieting 25-cent cotton, can now assume the
attitude of II told you So"
The new high point might be emphasized
by pointing out that II is the best figure
for the staple since 1871. II is eleven cents
the pound over the low level Of this year
and compares with price Of between rive
and six cents the pound which the staple
brought during the period when the local
cotton exchange was closed after the be-
ginning Of the European conflict in 1914.
There has been some talk Of possible cur
tailment Of local operation to prevent specu-
lation, but some Of the most influential
members OF the exchange assert there Is
less speculation in cotton today than ever
before in its history The best firms are
demanding what are termed prohibitve
marines and this has eliminated to great
extent any possibility Of speculation on an
extensive scale.
The leading factors governing the pres
ent conditions are the unfavorable weather
thus far in the growing sections Of this
country, which has put the crop so far be-
hind that II is doubted by the best students
II crop Of as much as 12,000,00O bales
can he picked, and the abnormally large
demand from trade interests both domestic
and foreign.
SMALL, CROP FACTOR
When II is considered that the lowest esti-
mates Of consumption range from $4,000, 900
to 100000 bales It can be seen just what
influence a small crop Of 12,000,0O0 bales
will have on sentiment as well as on the
actual underlying conditions in the trade
That the opinion is general in trade that
cotton will be difficult to get later on is
clearly indicated by the buying by these
interests recently. The higher prices have
not restrained the activity of the mills in
covering for their future requirements and
this buying is expected 10 continue.
Just how cotton goods have been ad-
vanced in prices may be seen from a can
vass Of the wholesale district. One in
stance might be cited which will give an
indication of how finished products have
risen. Reference is made to "Fruit-of-the-
Loom" muslin 1t is only a comparatively
short time ago, two years when the retailer
could sell this product over his counter at
seven cents the yard. Today he is forced
to pay sixteen cents the yard for the goods
wholesale, and can only purchase in limited
lots
Cotton goods manufacturers in this coun-
try have been busy for some time, and the
entrance Of the United States in the world
war has brought them additional contracts
which they are now filling and making pre-
parations to ill These trade interests
