of the organization was to overturn the
government and stop preparedness at

Washington, Jan. 24.-InQuiry has
been made of Germany as to whether
there were any Americans among the

Yarrowdale for having taken pay on
armed merchantmen. The inquiry
was made entirely on press reports
and not on any official information
which has come to the state departs
ment.
Officials admit that the armed ship
issued is at the root of the whole queS-
ton. The views of this country and
Germany appear widely divergent.
Each case, officials say, must be de-
cided entirely on It's own merits, but
out of all the difficulties that have
arisen recently 1t is believed it may
be possible to enunciate some general
rule. It is said, however, that no
definite program has yet been drawn
up.

HITS STEEL CO. HEAD
SECRETARY DANIELS DECLARES
CHARLES M. SCHWAB is
NO PATRIOT.
ATTACKS AMMUNITION FIRMS
Cabinet Member Asserts Not One in
Eleven Shells Made by the Bethle-
hem Company Is Acceptable, While
English Output Is Perfect.

Washington, Jan. %. - Sweeping
charges of ineficiency, lack of patriot
ism and attempts to hold up the gov
eminent were made against American
munitiOn manufacturers by Secretary
Daniels on Sunday.
Charles M. Schwab and the Bethle-
hem Steel company are mentioned
specifically in the secretary's state
ment. Figures are given showing that
less than 8 per cent of lot of IL
inch shells submitted by the Bethle
hem company were acceptable to the
naval examiners. On the other hand,
all the shells submitted by Hadfelds,
Limited, the English concern, to which
"a large contract has just been award
ed, met the American requirements.
Secretary Daniels says he would not
make these figures public did he not
believe the facts were already known
abroad.
The statement says:
"When certain American manufac-
turers learned in 1914 that Hadfelds
would submit bids they reduced their
prices from $500 to 1915 each for IL
inch shells, and on other sizes in pro-
portion, and secured the contract at
their bid, thus enabling the navy to
effect saving of 81, OF, 21O on the one
order.
''The department wishes to give all
its orders to American manufacturers
10
and furnish shells that meet navy re-
Quirements. Nothing but the utter
failure Of the most patient negotia-
lions and appeals to the patriotism OF
the little group of steel manufacture
ers which have practical monopoly
tive for the government to build a
projectile factory and give contract
to a foreign bidder.
"The Bethlehem Steel company, con-
tro1led by Mr.. Schwab, which has been
filling the papers with advertisements
criticizing the navy department, adj
mits in it's latest advertisement that,
though it was two years ago awarded
contract for $1,5OO,OO0 worth Of
shells, it has not yet made shells to
meet the requirements of the navy de-
partment. Until it is able to fill it's
contract, it does not become the
Bethlehem company to criticize the
navy department for awarding con-
tracts to manufacturers who can make
shells that meet the tests.
81 regard the attitude Of these COM
panies in this and other matters as
most unfortunate, and, we're there no
relief, through competition either by
the government or by other more pa
triotic firms, would feel that they
were putting our entire program OF
preparedness in peril"
After praising some of the manu-
facturers for willingness to assume
their share in the program of prepar-
edness, Mr.. Daniels says:
"That other large manufacturers of
war material should persist in ex-
tracing the last penny of profit from
our urgent necessity gives certain
color to the arguments Of those who
believe that preparedness is synonym
for profits and not patriotism"
