INSURES NATIONAL DEFENSE Assurance of Abundant Ameri can Explosives a Reason Why Germany Quit. By GARRET SMITH, One of the chief fortresses of Amer ica's new military defense system which developed out of the World War Is the Ammonium Nitrate Plant at Muwle Shoals, Alabama, on the Tenneinee Klver, over three hundred miles from the aeucuast, capable of turning out 300 tona of high explosives a day. It assures' to the United States for all time an abundance of ammuni tion without which an army la a help less encumbrance and It baa mad this unlimited supply of explosives available without resort to raw ma terial from outside of the country. The essential Ingredient of all mod ern military explosives in nitric acid. Before the World War, America waa entirely dependent upon Chile for the supply of nitrate of soda, the only chemical from which nitric acid can be made. In ess this country became Involved In war with any nation that could control the sea our foe would have us at her mercy, for ahe could cut off our essential means of striking back. Other nations, however, were equally dependent upon th Chilean nitrate supply. Germany was pur chasing one-third of it She had ex pected, to hold the sea with her sub marines but failed. But a process for extracting nitrogen from the air had been obtained by Germany some years before from Italian rheiuists. This process had been successful In producing a high grade nitrogenous fertilizer from which Id turn could be extracted an monlum nitrate. Ger many, therefore, fell to manufacturing ammonium nltrat from th air on a large acale. Americana Buy German Secret In 1907 an American company, head ed by Frank S. Washburn, had secured the American rtghta to this process from Germany and had gone Into man ufacturing the fertiliser on the Cana dian side of the Niagara Falls. When America found herself In th World War the Ordnanc Department turned to Mr. Washburn'a company for help. The Air Nitrates Corporation was formed, with Mr. Washburn at Its head, to build the Muscle Shosls plant It was ssslsted by several other well koown corporations, such as the West lughouse Church Kerr Company, which put up the plaut buildings, the perma nent city and utilities; the J. G. Whit Corporation, which designed and con slructed the power plant; the Chem ical Construction Company, which de signed snd built the nitric acid plant, and the M. W, Kellogg Company, which furnished th piping and built th chlmueys. Beginning work In November, 1U1T, th big plant and new city at Muscle Shoals was completed within on year' time. Had the expected apring drive of 1919 materialized thla on plant alon would bar been able to supply IS per eent of all the high explosives used by all th Allied ar mies on ail fronts during that drive, and the United States was secure for all lime to come against an ammunl ilon shortage. When the arrangement was dually asile for building th big air nltrat '.hint, work was begun on a power lam at the same point. This work la Hug conducted directly by the Unit ed rituies Engineering Corps. It will uut be completed, however, for two or three more years. It wss necessary, therefore, In order to Insure Imme diate operation when the nitrate plant wss completed to construct a $10,000, 000 steam power plant, one of the larg est steam plants tor the production ef continuous electric power In the world. It la pointed out that even had th water-power plant been completed dur ing the war It would bar been neces sary also to liar constructed a ateata plant to Insure the nitrate plaut work ing at full capacity at all times dur ing the year. Plant Worth. All It Cost Now, this entire Job cost the Uotrrn waut tdO.OOO.OOO. It was put through at a time wheu theprices of materlala and labor were at their summit. It uA built at record speed, aud siwed coeta money. The question naturally arises, then, aa to whether Uucle Sua got bis money s worth. Tests mad after th plant was la operation showed that auiueuiuui ni trate of standard specification could be produced at this plant at a cost of less than one-half the standard li-ivd price paid by th Government for am monium nltrat produced by the older method. Thla coat Is only about oue fearth to one fifth th cost af other i nigj) sxpiesives ui eu,ui ii.hiul ' Oaaapared with the older procee ftr ' making ammonium nltrat, th sav- lags mad by this plant would hat paid for th entire plant U about oa and one-half years ef operation.
