The" system is a "free energy gen erator" and its inventor is Garabed f. K. Giragoasin, an American me chanic who has been working on his plan in Boston the greater part of twenty-six years. Here are some of the things he says It will do: Drive a battleship any distance, wthout stop for fuel. Propel an airplane around the world.. Give an airplane! strength to carry thousand of pounds of munitions. Enable an airplane to wear armor Iwaviy) enough to turn any anti-aircraft gun missiles. Send torpedoes at greater speed . Practically double the speed of fiteam engines. Other than to state that hie system of utilizing tree energy is as revolu tionary as Franklin's discovery of electricity. Giragossln has not 'pub Hcly described his theory. So radi cal are his easertions that they would be dismissed with a shrug and a (mile, had he not, in secret demon Btratlons, backed up bis statements Official action has be'ein taken, and if he can make good on a big scale, the United States will contribute more jwwei'fully than aniM imagination had conceived, to winning the war. In secret testimonies Giragosstan convinced the house committee on patents. "Washington Special.

Electra, Texas, writes the Manufacturers Record as I follows: Every week there is a thrill for me in the Manufacturers Kecora. Last week it was your reply to Mr. J Collier (or ia it Mrs. Collier), whose sappy, jeitjinau now v is so much in keeping with the sen timental attitude adopted byi. ' thou sands of well-meaning but utterly sil ly Americana in their view of the r.aipe of Europe by the Hun . These poor people make a man who lias red btood in his vein's grind his teeth, and when I think of the jiumiber of them scattered among our full-blooded human Americans I almost thank God the war came along before our whole nation was poisoned with this deadly upas tree of sickening senti mentality, hardly distinguishable from traitorlsm, and indeed, worse, if any thing.' : I believe if we Were to circulate a pettlon to furnish the devil with ice cream these hot days men of Mr. Col tier's type would subscribe to it Mr. Collier, I have no doubt, a a goqd citizen in many respects, but he has gotten the wrong point of view, and we see now where the wrong point of view has landed the German na tion With vou I feel that the name of Germany ought to be inscribed In the international hall of infamy and only washed out upon ample proof of complete moral rehabiliation. With the most sincere expression of appreciation for your unwavering stand for righteousness, consistently mantained in the face of half-hearted condonation and whole-hearted trait orlsm by some of those who are sup posed to guide the helm of State. "America Had Btter Look Out" "America had better look out. I shall stand no nonsense from Amer icans after the war!" These expressions by the German Emperor, quoted in Ambassador Ger ard's article In today's Sentinel would seem to furnish considerable food for thought on the part of the American citizens. It appears to us that it would be particularly appropriate for those who may have-felt that good re lations with Germany could have been preserved and war averted to ponder carefuly these words of the Kaiser. This sentiment, expressed tayi the head of the imperial German govern ment, was provoked by the fact that the allied nations were getting arms end munitions from the United States, something they had undoubted right to do under the provisions of international law. Germany had me same right and the only reason she did not avail herself of it was that Great Britain controled the seas and German ships bearlg arms could not have gotten through the blockade. For United States to have refused her citizens the right to sell arms to the allies merely because the fortunes of war had made it impossible for Germany to get such arms would have been a clear violation of this nation's neutrality. And the Kaiser's threat was not the only thing said by German mili tary leaders along this line. Other similar remarks have been attributed to others, all showing that Germany had a deep-seated feeling of resent ment againt the United States and that her militarist chiefs would doubt less have wekSomed the first oppor tunity, after her other enemies had been disposed of, to fight this nation. Such facts as those given by Mr. Gerard must convince anyone, we think, that America was forced into this war; that it la primarily ft war of self-defense; that if the United States had not determined to fight Germany now.- wa 'would . have had to do so later, and probably un der conditions more favorable to the enemy. Those who talk ; as if , war with Germany, now or later, could have been avrted and the honor of the United States been preserved, simply have not studied the situation as they should. They are talking witout sufficient information on the subject they choose to discuss. America is engaged in a great hu manitarian task-in the present war. -The forces of this nation are fight- i Ing to make the world safe for de-, mocracy and civilization; we are fn the war because of Germany's treat ment of Belgium; we sare fighting be cause the rights of neutrals on the high seas have been violated; we are in the conflict because, in disregard o th& rules olfl ,ci visaed warfare, hospital ships have been fired upon; we are in the struggle for the reason that civilization and democracy de mand It. But we should not lose sight of the fact that the United States is in this war primarily for selfJprotection. We are engaged in holding aloft the banner of humanity, but we have a very particular reason that comes very close to us, one that demands the careful consideration of every man, woman and child in this coun try. We are in the war because our national self-respect demanded It; we are in the war to protect our own country; we are fighting in foreign lands because, if we did not meet Germany there now, we. would have to meet her later on our own shores. It Is right and proper that our obli gations to humanity should be real lzed but, in stressing the fact that we re also fighting for other people we should not lose eight of the fact that the war in which we are engaged Is primarily our own war, a struggle for our own defense, for the very ex istence of the nation and the preser vation . of its self-respect. Winston Sentinel. Good Times The country seems to be toadied up with ready money, anl as long as that lasts times wll be good. It may take fifty cents to buy ia pound of butter, but if the fifty cents is on hand it resil makes no difference. Back In 1893, you couldn't get hold of fifty cents. Butter than was of fered at twenty cents and many peo ple cut It out bcause they jcould not afford it. In those days you would seen an all-wom suit of clothing i)n a show window marked at five dollars but the five dollars couldn't he got ten, and therefore times were hard, while products were shamefully low. Those were free silver years the years when bankers in the west hung Ojlgns In tbjiflr window a!t JletJisti, that no money could be Dorrowed, and If you got a hundred dollars you had to give a gold bond; nothing else would do. Free silver was a gra.it craze, and gold bugs feared disaster, or at Ief-st pretended to, and while crops were plentiful and everything ridiculously cheap no one could buy. Silver was worth about forty-three cnts an ounce and Bryan wanted to coin it and say It was worth, one hun dred dents. Coin Harvey, with a the ory that looked good demoralized the world, and finally free silver and its advocates dropped out. The last quotation we saw on sil ver was something over one dollar an ounce, and you hear nothing about double standards of money and hear nothing about the tariff. You srmply hear some war talk, some high-price talk some wonder talk about what will happen, and the mall each day brings you the glad tidings that all kinds of articles in your particular business have, advanced in price, and you grin and bear it. Just when this will iend is guess work, but end It must. The prices now are absolutely fictitious; there Is neither reason nor sense in what is on, and some 'day the bottom will fall out. Metal markets fluctuate without reason. Paper is worth what it happens to be quoted for. The other day we wired for quotations on paper in carloal lots and received replies and prices varied as much aa twenty per cent. apparently Just the mood the fellow offering the quota tion. One good house said It could offer a bargain at a certain figure end It looked good la the face of bills pre viously Tendered ,and within an hour another house just as good quoted paper at thirty cents a hundred pounds-Hand there you go. There was no reason for such a difference In price; it was all mill stuff and the jobber simply was doing the best he could. A young man the other day told us that he didn't see how people could live on the present salaries, and said he had just paid fifteen dol for a pair of shoes his wife ordered, while another man was complaining because he had to pay a dollar for ha If -soling his wife's shoes, where as a year ago it cost but sixty cents. The older woman had learned the lesson of economy, but where under the sun are we going when young men on salaries much less than a hundred a month cannot resist the tempta tion to pay fifteen dollars for a pair of shoes? '; " Wonderful age it is. Forty years ago, when we wer on the pike and looked toward the east long before the sun was setting, that was to pay three ollars for a pair of shoes was going some. Five dollars for a pair of French kid boots elegant tops In Moroco leather and the real thing was considered sip against mankind, and the one daring enough to attempt such extravagance was considered a capitalist or a crook. But nowadays they tell us that in big cities twenty five and thirty dollars is considered a small price for the latest thing for milady iu footwear. n those old years, and, b'gosh they were happy years, printers stood at the case ten hours a day anl worked for seven and eight dollars a week, and married and reared their famii lies and owned their homes. Nowa days to get twenty dollars or fifteen dollars and be un'ahle to live is the cry and things stfll going up. Just where we are going to get off is the problem that the philosopher cannot solve. To keep on advancing is im possible. Some day there must come the reverse ; the pendulum must swing the other way. In the 1893 pan ic, with the election of McKlnley and the war with Spain, w rapidly got back the momentum, and Instead of profiting from the sad experience of hard times and almost starvation in many places, because in December of 1863 there were six million Idle men, men who wanted to work we were on high speed and forgot all about it. And we are on higher speed than ever. With the terrible lesson of the war across the seas; the fact, that the allies tosVe been forced o borrow of us nearly three billion dol lars in gold; the fact that the world is really right now impoverished if it undertook to square accounts w keep on going headlong, dizzy and unr daunted, and " the question will not down: "Where are we going to 6et off?" Everything. r '. ' EVER SALIVATED BY CALOMEL? HORRIBLE! Calomel Is Quicksilver And Acts Lik Dynamite On Your -' Liver Calomel loses you a day! You know what calomel is. It's mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous. It crashes into sour bile Hke dynamite, camping nd tsickenlng you. Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system. When &iou feel bilious, sluggish, con stipated and all knocked out and be lieve you need a dose of dangerous calomel just remember that your druggist sells for 50 cents a large bot tle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which Is entirely vegetable and pleasant tc take and Is a substitute for calomel. It Is guaranteed to start your liver without stirring you up inside, and can not salivate. Don't take calomel! It makes you slckthe next day; It loses you a day's work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight ens you right up and lyou feel great. Give it to the children because It is perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe. Twenty thousand airplanes for America's fighting forces in France authorized in the f 640,000,000 avia tion bill passed by Congress last July actually are under construction. The necessary motors also are being man ufactured, Secretary Baker announc ed, and the whole aircraft problem has been so co-ordinated that when planes and motgrs are completed trained aviators, as well as machine guns and all other equipment, will be waiting for them. "When this na tion's army moves up to participate in the fighting," said the secretary, "the eyes of her army will be ready.''
