There is no evidence of outside nmiiering with the ammunition. The . fpet is being promptly rptiaslipd ami 'he early discovery of 11, e cause has enabled the war department to prevent disastrous rept.-rts. Secretary liaker declared that the fullest publicity was advisable. "The maid of tiie country should ae relieved by a simple statement of the facts." h'e said. He explained to the committee that on Mr.y 25 the navy department repotted trouble with a part of the ammunition which hatl been supplied by the army to some of the marines. The ammunition was found to have been manufactured at the Frankford goverr.ment arsenal. Subsequently reports began to come from various unit nf the army and from rifle rlul.s that seme of the ammunition was causing "hang fires" and "misfires." "Ail theite reprrts indicated the general character of the defect," said Secretary P.aker, "and the Frankford ar-enal began investigation at once. It was an entirely new trouble. Vs the investigation proceeded the defect was blamed upon one thing anil then upon another. Now the arsenal has discovered what it believes to be the real cause. In the potassium chlorate used in the primer there was a small quantity of potassium bromate. In the presence of free s.ilphur, which exists in these primers, a dctc-i ioriation results. When kept for some months, the defect develops in the ammunition and the hang-fires an.t 1 i-lires resulted." I'sing a New Formula. The secretary said that the Frankford arsenal began using the new formulu for primers about Jan. 1, 1917. All small arms ammunitions made at the arsenal between Jan. 1 ami June 1 was placed in the suspicious class and an effort was mad at once to call in f . much as possible of it, and to we; a all army units and

Hoover says the war must be won with food. The farmers are doing what they can to increase food production, but they are handicapped. The jack rabbit and the blackbirds are just as busy destroying food. "The greatest enemy to grow-ini' crops in western Kansas is the jack rabbit," writes M. F. Rose, nf Santants, Haskell county. "In order to win the war with Germany we should also declare war on the jack rabbit." "Hlarkbirtls are eating up our crops as faKt as we can produce them," writes William Striker, of Grove county.
