ADMIRAL DECLARES
SHELLS ARE OF BEST
Says Navy Neglects No Tests Tending
to Safety.

Navy shells are subjected to every
test known to humanity" said Rear Ad-
miral Ralph Earle, chief of the Bureau
of Ordnance, yesterday.
I'VE have a lower percentage of shell
accidents than Great Britain. Germany
or Japan. That Is part Of the record"
Admiral Earle was speaking apropos Of
the accident on the steamer Mongolia
which, he said, was not due to a defec-
tive shell, but to the brass cup which
surrounds It tearing loose. An editorial
appearing in The Washington Herald at
tributed negligence or inefficiency to the
navy authorities in permitting defective
ammunition to he used on the armed
sh'Ts, and Admiral Earle denied that
negligence was in any way responsible
for the accident
The Washington herald., 1917-05-24
Quotes the Record.

"our official statement tells the whole
story" he said. Nothing is being con-
cealed from the public. We had no rea-
son to suspect that anything was wrong
We are striving all the time to turn out
perfect shells. and we have made as
much progress In this direction as any
navy in the world.
ut Is impossible that any enemy agent,
any traitor. could have tampered with
the shells navy precautions are entirely
sufficient. The shells in question were
thoroughly tested in 1898. and they are
just as good as II they had been put up
in 1917. We know that only two out of
eighty-seven burst when subject to ex-
tremely high pressure in the tests-pres-
sure much higher than they get in actual
firing. A shell does not deteriorate with
age; therefore we do not scrap them or
scrap powder.
I'VE have accidents, Of course. They
are unavoidable. But our record, COM
pared to other navies, is of the highest"
The Washington Herald had no inten-
tion OF rejecting on Admiral Earle or
any other officer of the Ordnance BC-
reau. although 1t did attempt to point
out the DANCE: Of permitting the conf
dence of the public in the American navy
to be undermined by a seris of accidents
such as have already occurred on the st.
Paul. the st. Louis and the Mongolia.
Some Facts withheld.
The facts regarding the st. Louis and
the st. Paul were not published for sew
eral weeks after they were known TO the
newspa pers, for the reason that the Navy
Department requested that they be With
held. Now that they are made public,
tho public Is in an interrogating mood
Naturally, the layman. the mar in the
street, does not take the technical, tire
expert view OF these accidents; he judges
only by results

WILLIAM ]. BRYAN
ON LIBERTY BOND

William ]. Bryan, the champion pa.
cifist of them all, says of the Liberty
bond and war:
Sometimes people say this is not
our war. The moment we entered it be,
came u war, and unspeakable disaster
will follow if we fail to succeed"
"The government has acted. Our con
stitution gives congress alone the right
to declare war, and congress as the only
body in the land which can speak for
the people of the United States, de-
elared war by an overwhelming vote.
Before we entered, the was was a mat
ter of opinion. Now a person who puts
his opinion above this act, which has
become law, makes the matter an act
Of anarchy alone.
"Let no man complain of taxation,
no matter how high,' he asserted stern
ly, Gas long as this nation calls for the
life of a single American citizen. If it
took all of a mans income il would be
nothin as compared to his life"
Congress in a short time will call
for $3,000,0 900, 900. 1 think it will be wise
to make it known that this is the most
profitable form of patriotism. The gov
eminent takes a boy from his home, but
it cannot promise the safe return of
that boy. 1t borrows money and returns
it with interest. Remember, a bond is
sued by this government is the best Sc
curity on earth and viii remain So"
"This war is long enough at its short
est. The quickest way out is straight
through, and we can I allow for nne
minute that any nation should think
there is dissension among our people,
The more anxious we are for peace the
more Loyalty we should support the gov
eminent as the quickest was to secure
