WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. - Despite demands upon British munitions plants because of the war. Hadiields, Ltd, an English concern, outbid the American companies on proposals opened for sixteen.inch and fourteen inch armor.pierCiug projectiIes for the United States navy, Not only are the English company's figures below the nearest American competi. tor. but the time Of delivery is cut in half. the shells to be landed in the United States, duty paid
 Five companies submitted propos- als for the 5ixteen.inch type, the first of that size 10 be ordered by the navy. The lowest American bid was that of the Washington Steel & Ord nance Co.,, which offered to make 2.OOO projectiles in thirty-two months at $75O. The HadIiclds bid was for 5000 in sixteen months at $513. On ,ourteen-luch projectilcs the Washing ton Steel & Ordnance COmpauy's es- innate was for 1000 in twenty.twO months at $500; aui the HadGcIia for 4.500 in eleven months at $356. Tine bids on fourtoen-inch projectiles show a decided inCreasN, so far as the American companies are concern ed, over orders placed in October, 1916 at S492
 Secretary Daniels said the ability Of the English concern to seek for eign orders during the war probably was due to the fact that with heavy ships taking little active part in the naval fighting, there is no need to conserve the ammunition supply for the big navy guns. He said the Had fields compauy's offer would be con sidered in awarding contracts.
