( Washington. Aug. 15.?In announcing
yesterday that chemically
* tninth u va n QiilwtitutP
for <ilk, is being tested by the ord- ^
?" ranee buorau. tl>e war department
issues a statement of interest to all
the eottou growing states and tentatively
promises a still greater use of
the south's staple crop
The department explains there is a -l
shortage of silk^ Such prepared cot- '*
ton lias already been tested to an ex- "
' tent justifying further experiments '
t on. if chemically treated cotton is "
found suitable for ordnance uses it
will relieve the silk shortage and resuit
in a saving to the ordnance bu "
reau of $25,000,000 to $30,000 - '
000.
Preliminary tests already made at p
the Aberleon proving grounds >n ' v>
, Maryland,'have encouraged tlie de-!
partment to proceed further with its
experiment; and for this purpose an
order for 5,00o yards of the new ma- Sl
ferial lias been placed with the con- 1
cern responsible for developing the ,]
process of fronting the cotton cloth. ,
At present millions of yards of silk
arc required in making the haus j
which contain the large powder (
Cfrargt-s used in the firing of heavy
artillery. These hags are inserted
. ;l
in th<> trun Immediately behind thoj
projectile, and the firing of tlinn!
gives t'ie propelling force that hurls j
the pro.ji < iile at the target. This
propelling charuo is, <>f course, cn-j
tirelv distinct from tin- charge with

A missile after it reaches the target. j(

upon for the bags for the reason that
