WASHINGTON, July 18.—-
The war department, looking to an
adquate supply of ammunition for
the army, has contracted for a $25,-
000,000 smokeless powder plant
which will more than triple the na-
tions existing output.
Announcement of the contract
signing yesterday coincided with the
assertion of Secretary of War Stim-
son that unless compulsory military
service was instituted, the defense
outlook would be "very dark."
Congress has voted billions for
military material, he told prepared-
ness advocates from 42 states, but
nothing has been done to supply the
manpower necessary to use that
equipment. 44
"There is ne way by which
these men can be obtained,"
he declared, “except by a se-
lective service act somewhat

years ago.”
The contract for the powder plant,
to be located in the Louisville, Ky.

the federal government but will be

Under tentative war department
plans, three other powder plants are
projected for the middle west with
funds either already provided by
congress or asked in the new de-
fense recommendations of nearly
$5,000,000,000 submitted by President
Roosevelt last week.

Americans wear, the food they
eat and the material blessings
they possess, we should thank
our Heavenly Father that we
were born in America. We
should teach in our schools,
preach from our pulpits and let
our people know that Ameri-
