The honor comes to the arsenal In recognition of Its war research work. Special types of nmmunitlon Invented or developed there during the war under the direction of Lieutenant Colonel Wallace Clay, head of the lab oratory, havo started the scientific world. Among the war Inventions of Col onel Clay, which have been used with great success by Americans In France, are the tracer, Incendiary nnd armor piercing bullets. Colonel Clay also in vented a three-Inch Illuminating shell which has been adopted by the Gov ernment ordnance experts, hut the perfection of which came too late to be of much practical use during the war. This shell, when exploded, will ! light up an area of ton mile?. The value of the tracer. Incendiary J ariiiocpiercing mulcts was recos- u u. uiiuv ui uriiiiituutj expel is, iuiu special buildings wero constructed at the arsenal nnd given over to their manufacture. Extra workers wero .hired to turn out the bullets and tens of thousands of them wero manufac tured dally, to be boxed and shipped to the fighting forces overseas. Nlllit Nhirt Mode Ilulleta So great uas the need for these bul tets that plglit Hhlfls were put to work on them; thus the death-dealing stream bttween tlio arsenal and France was made continuous. The tracer and Incendiary bullets are Bald to he the finest type of ammunition yet developed for air fighting better even than those used by the Allies and Germany, who had the benefit of three Jfars of actual e.perience In such light ing before this counitry entered the war. The Incendiary bullet Is Inflammable. It Bets lire to almost anything with which It comes In contact. The posslbn- Jljes of this bullet In airplane fighting were recognised by ordnance experts and the Allies were given the benefit of Jhe. discovery. In most cases the mere 'striking of a hostile airplane by one of the bullets, Insured victory. The trncer bullet Is also a valuable asset In nlr fighting, giving as It does, an opportunity for the fighter to find how far ho missed his mark and then to correct his aim. Before the Invention of this bullet deadly firing from air planes was generally a matter of luck. Tentft Huceeaafut Many exceptionally good fliers lost their lives becauso their f hooting prowess-did not compare with their flying ability. Tho tracer, however, changed all this. Haw the war pontlnucd the three Inch Illuminating shell would have been groat, discourager of Oerman night lalds and spying expeditions. The final (est of this shell was made before ar tillery experts at tho Government firing field at Aberdeen, Md. neports show that the shell lighted an area of ten (nlles. Captain Brayton, of the arsenal experimental staff, was present at the teste and received the congratulations of many cf tho artillery officers, all of Whom said It wan the greatest develop ment In star shells since the war began. The armor-plerclng bullet Invented at the arsenal laboratory Is also a distinct , improvement over any of Its kind pre viously Invented. The Ingredients that enter Into the manufacture of the tracer and in cendiary bullets nre such, however, that .quantity production will cease with the end of the war, since the shells become Worthless after a comparatively short period: They must ,bc used within a few "months after date of manufacture or a chemical reaction takes place which jiiiaKes. them uscIbs for the use Intended.

Forsthofcr, in "No-Man's Land," Prayer Booh, Crucifix and Rosary in Hands Dead in "No Man's Land" wltht his face upturned to the sky and his fingers clasping a rosary, prayerbook and crucifix. Private A. M. Forsthofer, of this city, was found by a friend and fellow member of De Sot Council, Knights of Columbus. Forsthofer's body was lying In a shell hole when It' was discovered by Sergeant William A. Orady. ' Forsthofer formerly resided at 920 North Randolph street, but his family recently moved . to Merchantvllle, N. J. On September 20, during the big drive of the Battle of the Mense, Forsthofer's company, U of tho 31Bth Infantry, was one of the units that raced over "No Man's Land," following the advancing line of a barrage. Forsthofer fell with a mortal wound. From the appearance of the body It was evident that the twenty-three-year-old soldier realized that death was near and that he made spiritual preparations for the end. One hand held a prayer book, another a crucifix. About the fin gers, of one hand a rosary was entwined. Sergeant Grady, of Company D, 304th Engineers,, was advancing over the shell swept terrain as th engineer froops fol lowed the Infantry, He tavv the body in the ehellliole and stopped to Investi gate. Grady searched the dead soldler'B pockets anil found his membership card In De Soto Council, a Philadelphia coun cil of the Knights of Columbus. Then he recognized Forsthofer as a former baseball player, who had been on the same team as Orady. With tho membership card Orady found a picture of Forsthofer's fiancee.

Power to Force Allied Comproftiise on Freedom of Seas MAGNET TO NEUTRALS Gives Little Nations Assurance i Their Commerce Can Be Transported By CLINTON W. GILBEIU' Staff Correspondent of the Evening Public Ledger i of jt, jlit, torn, bv Public Lcilocr Co. Washington, Nov. '22. The Administration plans to build a navy a.s big as any In the world and also a merchant marine as big as any In the woild. This purpose of tho L'nlted States will be a potent argument for Its position In tho peace conference, with regard to the freedom of the seas. To competitors. It is a threat of competi tion on the seas. To neutrals, It Is an assurance that they may safely nllgn themselves with the United States and be sure of having their maritime In terests looked ufter by a maritime Power as great as any other in the world. In the language of trade, the United States Is doing what any great new Industrial combination does Iwhen It seeks to obtain a field for Itself. It at-once presents the most formidable threat of competition it can to the established industrial organizations in its own line of business. And at the samo time It proposes that an ami cable agreement bo reached regarding prices and territory, so that the waste and Jangers of competition may bo avoided. To make its threat of com petition effective, it secures abundant capital; it builds extensive plants; It enters the market aggressively pre pared to stand losses, if competition makes them necessary. But It seeks a compromise. Success Hy Compromise The big navy program and the big merchant marine program are btrong arguments for a compromise. The larger our navy and tho arger our merchant marine, -tlie'tnorWVruflhall have to say about the control of the seas In the League of Nations and the more weight will attach to our vlevva on tho sea problems In the coming Paris conference. At that conference, our navy will consist of all the ships of war we have nfloat, ail the ships of war we have building and all the ships of war we hnvo authorized. It Is for this reason that the Administration is urging upon Congress a largo three years' navnl-bullding program. "The inten tion Is to provide for a navy as big as any In the world. In any naval conference that will be held, this country's voice will be as loud ns Its navy, existent nnd au thorized, Is big. If the United States Is to have as much to say with regard to the seas as Kngland, the long un- ConUnurd on l'aie Two, Column Four to my finding of htm would make a short story In Itself had I time to tell It, but my sole purpose now Is lo tell you how I found It and what an examplo of faith and duty th's lad gave to us who saw him. Following the infantry in their drive across No Man's Land. I came across him, lying In a shell hole, with h s face turned toward his Ood. his rifle by his side. There he lay when I got to him, and although he was dead It was a sight that would make the hardest of us all stop and think. Held In his left hand was a prayer book ; a rosary was entwined around the fingers of the other. In which was clasped tightly a Crucifix. I opened his coat pocket and found who he was He had done his bit and had received his death wound To all nppearances he know he was about to die and had started to prepare. He was later iiurieu dv some soldiers and perhaps by this time his people know tho place where he lies, but I thought it would be nice to let you know how he had given his life for tho only country In all this world, and though ho was far from a priest at the time he died, he died prepaied.

If It were not for the red flags Ayr Ing from most of .the public buildings nothing, would distinguish the Berlin of todav very much from tho Berlin of November, 1917, excepting, perhaps, the utter absence of the Prussian of ficer, the fact being that tho lonK war had already Impoverished the .once pry appearance of the German capital.
