CALLING IN DEFECTIVE
SHELLS GIVEN TO ARMY
Slow Action Would Endanger
Life of Men Who Fire Them,
Says Gen. Crowder.

WASHINGTON. Sept s.-steps
looking to Investigation Of the sup
plying of defective cartridges to the
American forces in France were
taken today by Brigadler General
Cro2ier. chief OF ordnance, and by the
senate military committee.
General Crozier asked that board
of inquiry be named. He said a small
quantity OF bromide, when retards
fire for a fraction Of second. had
been found In about 2 per cent of the
army's cartridges. Confidence was
expressed by the general that the
board would find that the defect was
unavoidable and not due TO negli-
, gence either on the part of the manu-
facturers who supplied the chemical
or TO ordnance department lnspeC-
tors.
Baker Will Talk.
The senate committee decided to
call Secretary Baker before 1t tomor-
row for an explanation and then will
decide whether to pursue an investi-
cation of its own.
Any defective ammunition will be
traced and returned for remanufac-
ture. While the faulty cartridges COM

The bromide in the potassium
chlorate OF the primers, General
Crozier explained, was not detected in
sufficient quantity by tests made at
the arsenal to indicate possible
danger. 1t was sufficient, however,
to cause chemical action after the
cartridges were made up.

SUBMARINES NOW HAVE A HARD Time

charges cause serious commotion over
n considerable radius.
Surface Signs May Be Missing.
The correspondent was told of three
cases in the last fortnight in which
submarines We're thus DESTROYED. In
many instances, no doubt, submarines
are destroyed without any visible indi-
cation above the water of their loss.
Shll others are badly crippled, as In
the case of the damaged German u
boat which was recently interned in
Spain.
Another submarine which win never
return to Germany was sunk under ne
culiar circumstances n short time ago
This U-bont torpedoed a ship bound
from the United States. It is extreme
iy unwise and unsafe to fire a torpedo
at such close range, but the U-bonts
must take their targets as they get
them these days. The torpedoed ship
was loaded with cargo of heavy war
material and the explosion was so for
chile that 1t blew large piece of
heavy material through the deck of the
ship and dropped 1t on the submarine
as the latter was submerglng. The hull
of the submarine was crushed like an
eggshell and she sank with all on
board.

REHEARSE FOR BIG BATTLES
Realism Carried to the Extreme by
Germans in Preparing for Trial Of
New strategy-Says Human
Strength Is Powerless.

With the French Armies.-It is now
pretty well known that both the
French and Germans frequently re-
hearse their battles, under conditions
as realistic as possible on specially
prepared maneuyer grounds. But.
whereas the French on these occasions
take great care that no men shall be
injured, the Germans have carried
realism to such point that each exer-
else of this kind costs them u number
OF wounded. The fact Is attested by
the following extract from the note
book of n German of the 21Sth regi-
ment of infantry:
'The exercise was to represent a
new method of attack used by the
French, and was to take place on the
21st, in the presence of the duke of
Wuerttemberg, and other personages.
"On the 18th our artillery regulated
Its fire preparatory to the exercise.
Men Wounded in Drill.
"On the 21st we were put in place
at S:15 a. IN. From 8 80 to 10 80 the
artillery and the trench mortars fred.
We were given each fifty explosive
cartridges, while the men of the first
and second waves We're given each,
respectively, six and two loaded gren-
ades. From the start, during the fir
ing of the trench mortars, men were
wounded by splinters. At 10 80 the
business began, and toward 80 D. m.
our companies Were assembled for the
goose step parade on the Hochwalsch-
Walderystal road. This parade also
took place before the duke of Wuert-
temberg. The exercise, 1t appears,
satisfied these gentlemen entirely. SO
1t will not be long now before we en-
ter into the hell Unhappily, several
men were wounded, one seriously. 1t
Is really sad to see exercise of this
kind carried out with real artillery
and trench mortars. Aside from the
fact that it costs a great deal of
money, men are wounded almost regu-
larly. So it is not enough that we
should risk our lives when we are at
the front, we must even be exposed
to danger when we are supposed to
be at rest"
