By OARRET SMITH. • One of the chief fortresses of Amen lea’s new military defense system which developed out of the World War Is the Ammonium Nitrate Plant at Muscle Shoals, Alabama, on ibf Tennessee River, over three hundred miles from the seaco&st, capable o! burning out 900 tons of high exploelvei a day. It assures to the United State# for all time an abundance of ammanl> tlon without which an army Is a help less encumbrance and It has mads this unlimited supply of explosives available without resort to raw ma tertal from outside of the country.

When the arrangement was finally made for building the big air nitrate plant, work was begun on a power dam at the same point. Thla work is being conducted directly by the Unit ed States Engineering Corps. It will not be completed, however, for two or three more years. It was necessary, therefore, in order to Insure imme diate operation when the nitrate plant was completed to construct a fl0,(X)0,* 000 steam power plsnt, one of the larg est steam plants for the production of continuous electric power in the world. It is pointed out that even had the water-power plant been completed dur ing the war It would have been neces sary also to hare constructed a steam plant to insure the nitrate plant work ing at full capacity at all times dur ing the year. * Plant Worth All It Coat.
