appetite His lawyers defence took a curious turn- he not the pat riotic Sir Sam cracked him up to be but a broker who took advantage of the war to go on brokering On a giant scale Allison himself did not deny he look commissions and that the taking of them was unknown to Major General Sir Sam Hughes whose backing had given hfm such powerful pull with the various War Offices of the Allies In short Al lison owned up to working his con nection with Sir Sam to the limit and Ills own lawyers did not find It con venient to go behind the admission Once given the word to scratch gravel for himself Allison to have got results which more than counterbalanced his- short career of disinterested patriot and pure but passionate friend of Sir Sam Hughes Indeed in regard to at least one mat ter Mr

per This Juicy price which was fixed by Colonel David Carnegie without consulting with the Britjsh War Office arid af ter he had waved back at least two Canadian companies who wanted to make graze fuses as being easy to manufacture and fat to sell was after wards trimmed to but even at that the American Ammunition Com pany will make 3333334 profit This contract for graze fuses seems lo have been a great secret General Hughes says he did not know about it after the conlract was Colonel Allison maintained that he did not know about the graze fuses at first although the whole order went to the combination which he had got together So far as the evidence goes Colonel Carnegie was the only- one that knew the British Office order for graze fuses and it was he who fixed the price at although the same kind of fuses were being made In the United Stales at that very time for The graze fuse contract was two thirds of order for fuses which went to the Ammerican Ammunition that Allison drew down his a quarter of a million money as Mr put It the British Treasury by man en dorsed by Kir Sam Hushes Minister of Militia for Canada anting In the sacred capacity of trustee for the British Government The strong meal strong high of Ihe inquiry Is this graze fuse contract which Mr summed up in these words It was so vielous that the people had to know some thing about It Al the time contracts had been let for Oils fusf in Ihe tinn ed States for It was so vielous that the very man Cad well who was contracting for It completed a con tract 2i0 for this fuse and knew was making these

general way on a contract for fuses such as the American An Muni tion Company was awarded originally at fuse but afterwards when Mr made his speech altered- to per fuse Leaving the ques tion of commissions aside entirely the profits on these graze fuses the cheapest and earliest kind of fund made are enormous Disinterested experts say the manufacturing cost of a graze fuse Is Some put It lower than thai say eighty cents Hut let It go at a ilol- la The minimum price at which the British War Office acting through the Morgans let graze fuse contracts In the United States was 179 each Thus a United States Company filling an order at this price for graze fuses such as Am munition Company got from the Bert ram Shell Committee would have charged and would made approximately a profit

Ammunition Company look the contract graze fuses would have amounted lo- 66G664 a manufacturing profit of Subtract the million dol lar commission from this but add Mr share of and the net profit of

War Office loses whatever hap pened By the way who is and what right had he to 225000 commission He did not appear as a witness before the Commission He Is said to be the owner of a two by four locks works in Connecticut and he never seems to have had any In tention of making fuses What did he do with his Did he keep it all or did he split it with some body else as Yoakum did Let us look at the American Am munition Companys contract for 666666 graze fuses from another angle the difference between the minimum price of at which the British War Office let graze fuse con tracts in the United States and the various prices quoted by the President Cadwell In his evidence before the Royal Commission Again making an order for graze fuses Ihe basis of comparison we find that this favored company was on velvet over and above other companies In the United States Canada to following At Hie price at which Mr Cadwell could have offered to pay half a million commission the Am- merlcan Ammunition Company would have made more than any other company tendering at the minimum price the price at which the American Ammunition Company Is fill ing the contract now it will make more than any other com pany tendering at the minimum price At 4 the price at which Ihe Ameri can Ammunition Company originally took the contract It would have made more than any other com pany tendering at the minimum price These figures lend to show how strong Allisons pull was with old Shell Committee No wonder Yoakum could pay Allison 25000 for the privilege of sitting In steering Bobbers wrecked the
