France Asks U. 8. Secrets.
Washington, D. C.-rWar de
partment officials | have been
placed in an embarrassing posi
tion, it became known recently,
by a request from agents of the
French government for (assist
ance from the department’s Ord
nance Bureau in perfecting the
smokeless powder now used by
the Frereh Army and Navy. A
series of unexplained disastrous
explosions in the French mag
azines aboard ship and ashore is
said to have led to this request;
which is unusual in view of the
efforts made by most nations tf'i
protect the secret of their pow
der preparations.
The War department buys all
of its powder under contract from
an American company, and this
corporation has protested vigor
ously against the disclosure of
its trade secrets to a foreign gov
ernment, asserting that from pa
triotic motives it had previously
rejected overtures from this for
eign government to sell it pow
der or to establish a powder fac
tory in France.
