Major Williams Says Ord
nance Corps Received Gen
eral Co-operation
Washington, Mar. IT. —To Ameri
can industry and engineering and
American science, not to tho Ord
nance Corps of the regular army,
belongs the credit oi having evolved
and make possible an ordnance pro
gram for the American army that
made victory a certainty, Major
General Clarence C. Williams, Chief
of Ordnance, declares in a letter to
:he officers of his department retir
ing to civil life made public tonight.
"It was American Industry und
science that were on trial," says the
letter. "The ninety-seven officers of
the Ordnance Department of the old
regular army and the eleven Gov
ernment arsenals they administered
Could never have dominated, have
Won the success or caused the fail
ure of the 5,000 officers from civilian
life and the 5,000 private Industrial
plants which wero incorporated In
the organization for the period of
the war. The enlistment in industry
equally with tho draft of manpower,
was a success. And for that 1 thank
jou, the administrative directors and
the engineering advisors of Ameri
can industry- who canto Into the
service of the Ordnance Department
during the war."
No other part of the Amertean
war program carried its responsibili
ties and efforts as to design and in
vention. or production fnto so many
channels, the letter says, or project

Coal
Rescreened
By Machinery
THE modern way to lead and screen coal
is by machinery.
Our coal is mechanically screened. It is
hoisted by electric power to a big screen to
remove the fine particles of dirt.
The coal we send you has been screened
twice—once at the mines and again as it is
loaded into the delivery equipment.
Mechanically screening and loading coal
requires a minimum amount of labor.
This accounts for our having better
drivers.

MONDAY EVENING,
DEMAND PROBE OF
BRITISH CAMPAIGN
Capetown Residents Want In
quiry Into War in
the Africas
London. March IT. According to
information received here from Cape
town a demand has sprung up there
for a searching investigation into
the manner in which the British cam
paign was conducted in East and
Central Africa after General Smuts
had relinquished command to come
to England. When lie left it was be
lieved that the campaign had been
virtually concluded.
Owen Letcher, formerly an officer
in the East African expeditionary
force, reviews the campaign in a
series of articles in the Cape Times
and strongly advocates a commis
sion of inquiry. Belief prevails in
Capetown, it is said, that the sport
of yachting at Dar-es-Jalaam and
elephant hunting in the interior were
largely responsible for the prolonga
tion of the fighting.
The campaign is said to have ex
ceeded the cost of the Boer war,
amounting to about 11,500,000.000. To
the casualties, which ware heavy in
killed and wounded, must be added
many men who will suffer from fever
for the rest of their lives.
The work of the Portuguese colon
ial forces is criticised, also the huge
headquarters staffs maintained by the
British hundreds of miles from the
scenes of the actual fighting.

Americans Destroy
Many Old Bombs
Treves. Germany, March 17. —Zep-
pelin bombs of uncertain age and
manufacture have been destroyed
by the hundreds recently by Amer
ican soldiers engaged in "cleaning
up" after the withdrawal of the
enemy. These bombs, of no prac
tical use owing to long exposure to
the weather, were found near a
hangar in the region of Treves when
the American Army of Occupation
crossed into Rltsnish Prussia from
the Luxemburg border.
The task of destroying thousands
of tons of old, and in many in
stances worthless, German shells be
gan several weeks ago, the ex
plosives being placed in great pita
and covered with steel rails and
wood and j?!les of earth and fired by
electricity.
Thousands of anti-aircraft shells
also have been destroyed on the
summit of a ridge of hills skirting
the Moselle in this vicinity and ord
nance experts in charge of the work
expect to finish their work here soon
and then move on to other German
ammunition dumps awaiting their
attention along the Rhine and other
parts of the occupied territory.
Renters May "Strike"
Against High Rents
Havana, March 17. —This city is
threatened with one of the most
unique strikes ever called. Unlike
the usual strike, the movement will
not be for shorter hours or higher
wages. Thousands of persons in
every walk of life, who are occu
pants of rented houses and rooms
may "strike" against their being
literally "locked out" of their homes
by property owners who are charg
ing exorbitant and illegal rents.
