and Trains Bearing Away
the Refugees.

Petrograd, Sept. 6.-The first refu-
gees from Riga arriving gave dra-
matte description of their last hours
In the city before the German occupa-
ton. The first shells were fired from
the direction of Uxkull and fell early
Sunday morning, causing numerous
fires and spreading clouds Of suffocat-
ing gases. The people rushed into the
streets, many only partly dressed, and
there was a general panic to reach the
railroad station, which seemed to be
the enemys' chief target.
This panic resulted in heavy losses,
according to Vechernee Vremya, which
declares that several thousand lives
were lost. The next night, after mid
night Zeppelin appeared over the
city and in the rays Of its searchlight
citizens might be seen fleeing. The
Zeppelin dropped many bombs, some
emitting gases. These bombs were
aimed chiefly athMoscow, a suburb Of
Riga.
Smelling with big projectiles from
the direction of Uxkull was resumed
early In the evening one shell falling
in moving picture hall, causing
losses, and another exploding in the
Hotel Suvoroff. The last train which
left for Petrograd was heavily shelled.
A great many buildings in Riga, &C.
cOrding to the refugees, were de-
stroyed.

MEAT SHORTAGE TO CONTINUE
Government Calls 1925 American Live

Washington, Sept. 6.-The first step
to meet the worldwide meat shortage
was taken when 125 American live
stock specialists were called into con-
ference here by Secretary Of Agricul-

tinue for several years after the war.
The only country that can. move to
meet this shortage Is the United States
and the only way this country can pre-
vent hunger crisis is by producing
more meat animals.

finds SOURCE OF
BAD AMMUNITION
Secretary of War Baker and
/. General Crozier Make Frank
Statement to Congress.
NO EVIDENCE OF TAMPERlNG
Powder Manufactured at the Frank
ford Arsenal, Where the Real
Cause Of the Defect Was Die
covered and Corrected.

Washington, Sept. 6.-Secretary OF
War Baker and General Crozier, chief
Of the ordnance bureau, went before
the senate military affairs committee
and gave to congress and the nation G
Crank statement on defective ssgsrnlniz
lionz manufactured ut the Fsl'sls. b.
arsenal.
The inquiry, by voluntary statements
Of the secretary and General Crozier,
and by questions Of members of the
committee, developed these outstand-
ing facts:
AS much as one-tenth and as little
as one-hundredth of the small-arms
ammunition of the American military
establishment may be affected by the
defect discovered.
Shipped to France.
Large quantities of the defective
ammunition were shipped to the ex-
peditionary force in France, but there
have been no complaints from the off
GERS in command there.
The defect was first reported to the
war department by the navy about
May 20. The expeditionary force In
France was not notified of the dis
covery of the defect until August l.
There is no evidence of outside
tampering with the ammunition.
The defect is being promptly RENE
died and the early discovery of the
cause has enabled the war department
to prevent disastrous results. Secre-
tary Baker declared that the fullest
publicity was advisable.
"The mind of the country should be
relieved by simple statement of the
facts" he said.
He explained to the committee that
on May 25 the navy department re-
ported trouble with part of the am
munition which had been supplied by
the army to some Of the marines. The
ammunition was found to have been
manufactured at the Frankford gov
eminent arsenal. Subsequently reports
began to come from various units of
the army and from rifle clubs that
some of the ammunition was causing
"hang-fres" and "mis-fires.'
Is New Trouble.
All these reports indicated the gen.
eral character of the defect" said Sec
rotary Baker, "and the frankfort
arsenal began investigation at once.
1t was an entirely new trouble. AS
the investigation proceeded the defect
was blamed upon one thing and then
upon another. Now the arsenal has
discovered what it believes to be the
real cause. In the potassium chl0rate
used in the primer there was a small
quantity of potassium bromate In
the presence of free sulphur, which
exists In these primers, deterioration
results. When kept for some months,
the defect develops In the ammunition
and the hang-flres and mis-fres re-
Suits"
The secretary said that the Frank
ford arsenal began using the new
formula for primers about January /,
1917. All small arms ammunition
made at the arsenal between January
and June ] was placed In the suspi-
cious class and an effort was made at
once to call in as much as possible at
it, and to warn oil army units and rifle
clubs of the discovery Of the defect.
