NO SHORTAGE OF NITRATE
DECLARES SEC'Y WALLACE

Washington, April 2O.-Citing sta
tistics showing that there has been
no shortage of nitrates,' Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace declares in a let
ter to Andrew l.. Felker, commission
er of agriculture of New Hampshire,
he is not able to understand the ba-
sis for the belief that there is Sc
rious shortage of nitrate and that
fertilizer companies are not able to
supply fertilizer needs of farmers
because of this shortage
Mr.. Wallace's letter is in reply to
telegram from Mr.. Felker saying
that fertilizer companies were unable
to get nitrate to fill farmers fertli-
zer orders and asking the secretary
to urge the war department to release
its supply.
Normal importation of nitrate of
soda before the war, Mr.. Wallace
says, was about $1,000 short tons, of
which 100000 were used for fertili-
zers, and this was increased in 1920
to 1,4S0,519 short TONS The 1920 i'm
ports, he points out, were sufficient
to supply the demand for fertilizers
for 1920 and 1921. and leave a sur
plus of 100000 tons for 1922, and the
actual surplus, he adds, probably was
considerably more than this, because
of the small tonnage of fertilizer in
1921, during which year imports to-
tailed 413.474 short tons, and the war
department released 10000 tons,
while in January and February this
year. 32,065 short tons have been i'm
ported.
The secretary also says that at a
public sale of war department nj
trates last week, evidently less than
1000 tons were bought by fertilizer
companies"

EXPLOSION IS
SAID TO HAVE
KILLED MANY
Reports From Salonika
Say l 800 Soldiers Have
Been Buried Alive By
Explosion of War Ma
: terials

Athens. April 2O.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. J-Advices from Saloni-
ka today report great loss of life as
a result of an explosion of war mater
ial stored 200 meters from the Saloni-
ka railway station. Hundreds of
children were buried in the ruins of
u church on which shells fell and
it was believed 1,S00 soldiers were
buried in the ruins of their barracks
which were demolished, the adviceS
states.
The similarity of the foregoing dis
patch to one from Belgrade yester-
day which reported an explosion at
Monastir in the southern part of old
Serbs when an ammunition dump
blew up makes it seem possible that
both relate to the same disaster.
Monastir is about eighty miles to
the northeast of Salonika.
The disaster occurred at noon yes
terday. Details of the damage and
the number of victims are lacking
but the dispatches here said it was
known that the death toll was
large one.
The soldiers were having dinner
when their barracks were destroyed
and large number of them are now
known to have been killed The rail
way station was demolished. Fires
Immediately broke out in several of
the houses and the inhabitants fled
in panic as the entire town was
endangered.
