NO NITRATE FROM Chile
IF U. S. GERMANY BREAK

WASHINGTON. Mar l2.-As a re-
suit Of German activities in Chile. this
country, in the event Of war with Ger.
many, would be cut off completely
from its supply OF nitrate--an abso-
lutely necessary ingredient in the pro-
ductlon OF explosives-according TO a
statement made today by N. II. Mill
ken. president Of the American SO.
ciety OF Chile. who has just arrived
in this country.
Milliken today conferred with gov.
ernment officials warning them Of this
danger.
Chile is the principal nitrate pro-
ducing country of the world and the
United States receives It's entire sup
ply from there. Since the beginning
OF the European war this country has
been buying more than fifty per cent.
OF the nitrate production OF Chile
German capital controls a large
part Of Chile's production OF nitrate.
Britishers and native capital control
the remainder
Most OF the United States supply
has come from German and native
plants. the Britishers scarcely being
able to care for England's needs. Mil
liken told officials that II this country
goes to war with Germany, the Ger
man producers have planned TO de-
stroy their output before selling It "a
the United States.

Uncle Harry Tells What Happens
When Ships Are TOrpedOed

"And | wouldn't be surprised II that
we're a very conservative estimate.
Why. of course that's a low figure,
how that l come 10 think Of it, be-
cause only the other day read that
during the last Ave months alone,
1.016 ships we're sunk. So all told.
since the war started. should say
1000 is more nearly the correct num-
Der OF ships that have been sunk"
"And most Of these ships have been
sunk by torpedoes. fred by subma-
rines, haven't they?' said Helen.
"Yes, the submarines have been the
real terrors OF the seas in this war"
said Uncle Harry, comparatively few
ships having been sunk by the bigger
warships or mines
Tell us, Uncle Harry, just what
happens when a torpedo hits ship
asked Joe.
THAT depends first on whether the
torpedo hits the ship cquarely, and
second on the size of the ship said
Uncle Harry. "The smaller ships, II
struck squarely, sink very quickly,
sometimes in ten or hrteen minutes. -
81 guess It takes a fong while for
DIX tulp ike AilN A4nSphAb W SUNNI
doesn't it?" said Jimmy.
"The Laconia sank in little over a
half an hour" said Uncle Harry.
"You see, folks, those torpedoes con
tain several hundred pounds Of the
most powerful explosives known to
chemistry. And when one of them
strikes the hull Of a ship there is an
explosion that tears away the steel
plates and bulkheads inside the ship
almost as easily as you can push
your hand through a paper bag. In
stantly the ocean pours in through
the great hole and floods the whole
shin in no time. Often. to make mat
ters worse. the torpedo strikes near
the engines and then the great boilers
of the ship explode One end OF the
ship fills with water first and goes
under. lifting the other end straight
up I'm the air. That seems almost un
believable when you think that ships
like the Laconia are more than 6Ol
feet long, but that is what actually
happens. And then gradually, the
upright end OF the great hulk slips
straight down into the ocean and Is
gone.
THE more I think Of submarines
and their torpedoes," said Uncle
Harry. the more convinced I am thai
if the use Of these wonderful inven
tions in war is the best that can b'
done with them, it's a pity that thel
were ever invented

will any OF the valuables on board

Joe.
"I think you have been reading one

said Uncle Harry, smiling. But there
won't be any expeditions sent out to

dollars in gold and silver or any Of
the millions and millions Of dollars
worth of other goods that have been
sunk out there in the Atlantic Ocean;
not for many, many years, at least. And
probably never, unless someone IN
vents a much more powerful sub

that are in existence today
why. I though the big submarines
that are being used in this war were
powerful enough to do most anything
said Helen.
"Thev are powerful, so far as being
able to travel great distances is con-
cerned," said Uncle Harry Ana
they are able TO submerge perfectly
and even travel remarkable distances
under water. But when IL comes 10
submerging any considerable distances
these wonderful boats simply can
do IT,"
"Why. Uncle Harry asked Jimmy
"On account of the tremendous
pressure of water?" said Uncle Harry
'The lower a submarine goes The
greater the pressure of the water

have gone down ss deep as 300 ieet'
