INSURES NATIONAL DEFENSE ' it' ?; ? Assurance of Abundant Ameri can Explosives a Reason Why Germany Quit - \ ?By GARRET SMITH. One. of the chief fortresses of Amer tot's new military defense system which developed out of the World , War is the Ammonium Nitrate Plant at lfuscle Shoals, Alabama, on the | Tennessee River, over three hundred mile* from the scacoaat capable of | turning out 800 tons of high explosives a day. It assurea to the United States for all time an abundance of ammuni tion without which an army Is a help* lees encumbrance and It has made thla unlimited supply of exploslvea available without resort to Taw ma terlal from outalde of the country. The essential Ingredient of all mod ern military exptoalve* In nitric acid. Before the World War, America waa entirely dependent upon Chile for the aupply of nitrate of soda, the only chemical from which nitric add can be made. In cast this country became Involved In war with any nation that could control the aea our foe would have us at her mercy, for she could cut ott our essential means of striking back. ^ Other nations, however, were equally dependent upon the Chilean nitrate supply. Germany waa pur* chasing one third of It 8he had ex pected to, hold the aea with her sub marines bu? falle<V9 But a process for extracting1 nitrogen from the Air rajid been obtafned by Germany'some I.Wars before from Italian chemists. This process had been successful In producing a high grade nltrsgapons 'fertiliser from ...which ift turn could P$? extracted atrmonlum nitrate. Cwtej many, therefore, fell to manufacturing ammonium nitrate from the air on a large scale. Americana Buy German 8ecret. In 1007 an American company, head* ed by- Frank 8. Washburn, had secured the American rights to this process from Germany and had gone into mag^J ufacturing the fertiliser on the GOBir dlnn sldo of the Niagara Falls. When America found herself In the World War the Ordnance Department turned to Mr. Washburn's company for'hefo The Air Nitrates Corporation was formed, with Mr. Washburn at Its head, to build the Muscle Shoala plant It was assisted by |everal other well known corporations, such as the West tnghonse Church Kerr Company, which put up the plant buildings, the perma nent city and utilities; the X G. White Corporation, which designed and con structed the power plant; the Cfaeih leal Construction Company, which d#? signed and built the nitric acid plant and (he M. W. Kellogg Company, which furnished the piping and built the chimneys. Beginning workln November, 1017, the big plant and new city at Muscle Shoals was completed within one year's time. Had the expected spring drive of 1019 materialised this oat supply IS per cent of all the high explosives used by all the Allied mles on all fronts during that drivji, and the United States was secure for *11 time to oeme against an ammuni tion shortage. WJhen the arrangement was finally made for building the big air nitrate plant work was beouf on a power dam at the same pqlht This worklij being conducted directly by the Unit ed States E&glneerlng Corps. It will not be completed, however, for two or th(?a~more years. It was necessary, therefore, In order to Insure lmine | dlate operation whea the nitrate plant waa completed to construct a fl0,000, 000 steam power plant one of the larg est steam plants for the production of continuous electric power In the world. It is pointed out that even had tjj| " water-power plant been completed dur ing the war It would have been neces sary also to haye constructed a steam plant to Insure the nitrate plant work ing at fii" capacity at all times dur ing the year. Plant Worth All It Cost New, this entire job cost the Govern meat $60,000,000. It was put through at a time when the priees of materials and labor were at their summit It waa built at record speed, and speed cpata money. The question naturally arises, then, as to, whether Uncle Sam got his money's worth. Teats' msde after the plant was in operation showed that ammoniumJjM trste of standard specifications could be produced st this plant at a coat of less than <w?e-balf the standard fixed price paid by the government for a* monlum nitrate produced by the older methods. This costJs only about ooe fourth to one-fifth the cost Of other high explosives of equal strength. OoSspared with the older process for . unfiwxtmtnm nitrate tllSSaV* logs made this plant would have paid for the entire plant in shout one l;^axi<i one half:g*?ar? of operation. ?s v Til AWf value of the Muscle Shoals plant, however. wBl Itata dcfait<s te j' ii wpgwpw?m ?p? pn?yp? ttiOM Fk a ll?|, r ,NiA?lwvlUe.
