More Mustard Gas Than

Washington, May 12.-An official
narrative of the part America in
dustry played In providing munitions
for the American army in the great
war Is unfolded In a book being pre-
pared under the direction of Assist
ant Secretary Crowell, of the War

time, officially and completely, not
only of the stupendous scope of the
projects; but of the difficulties and
delays encountered, and of the
patriotic support of the war program

orally.
The chemical welfare section tells
of the original work done by the
Ordnance Department toward OBJ
tanning toxic gases and antigas de-
vices for the use of American troops.
Subsequently this service became q
separate branch of the army. under
the direction of Major General w. L.
sibert.
Among other secrets disclosed, is
the basis of frequent statements that
at the time of the signing of the
armistice, the United States alone
was producing gases for military use
at rate ten times in excess of the
best production Germany could OBJ
tain. The Germans produced, with
all their facilities, about six tons of
mustard gas per day, while the
United States was producing more
than 60 tons n day, and employing
methods of production far more
modern and efficient than anything
attained by the enemy.
There were three plants at work
on mustard gas, the Edgewood, Md,
arsenal which was manufacturing so
tons a day by November IL, and had
! turned out I'll tons up to that day;
the plant at Hastings, n. Y, which
was to have q capacity of so tons a
day, and was ready to operate on

NC-1 and NC-3 Ready For
1,240-Mile Hop" to
Azores
By Associated Press.


Trcpassey, n. F., May 12.-With
the Navy's transatlantic flight
guardships at their ocean stations,
and the big seaplanes NC-1 and
NC-S declared after inspection, to
have been uninjured by their long
trip from Rockaway Beach, N. Y,
indications to-day were that the
planes will start on their 1.240-mile
hop" for the Azores at the first
instant Commander John II. Towers
decides the weather is favorable.
Officers expressed satisfaction with
the result OF the long coastal flight
here, for although four times driven
from their course by shifting winds,
such as are expected in mid-ocean.
they were enabled by their navigat-
ing apparatus, to correct errors with
in two minutes.
~ warning has been issued to the
public to be prepared for false starts,
as il is intended to hop off" with
exceptionally heavy loads of fuel,
and the planes may be compelled
to return if the loads prove eX-
cessive.
Officers directing the naval flight
said the question of whether the
NC-4 ''hops off" with the other two
planes depends upon the time she
arrives here, as favorable weather
may cause tho NC-1 and NC-S to
start with little warning.
The start probably will be made
without further trial flights If
weather conditions in mid-ocean
soon become favorable. Conditions
at sea were declared bad to-day.
When the start is made, the
planes probably will fly the first part
of the Azores leg" by night.
