Half-Filled Regiments Result of Low
Wages for Notwithstanding
Article by General Carter

Washington correspondence .f.-.
One could not eXaggerate If he would
the spirit of actual h~opelessness With
which the officers Of the American
army will view the future If Congress
iails at tie present session to pass the
bill granting an increase of pay to the
rank and file. At some of the posts
there are barely enough soldiers to do
guard duty as it ought to be done.
1t is a present condition with which
the army officers are concerned first,
and it is Il future condition over which
they are concerned second. The flu
ture condition is the more serious. be-
cause it means that if things go on as
they have been doing the country and
its island possessions VIII be defense
less.
Men wl1o have worn shoulder knots
since the days of the civil war say
in all seriousness that unless the peo-
pie bring pressure to bear upon Con-
gress to provide adequate pay for the
soldiers the people will find them
selves, as far as the regular army en-
ters into the matter, practically with
out defense, and reduced almost to the
stage Of. having no seasoned force as
a nucleus of efficiency for unframed
national g%uardsmen and green yoiun-
teers. Post libraries, recreation rooms
field athletics, comfortable quarters,
good food, good clothing, free medical
attendance and plunge and shower
baths all avail nothing TO attract mel
to a life which would draw tEenl by
the thousands if a decent allowance
of pay for the service they render in
peace, and always have been willing to
render in war, were added to the in
ducements.
Joint encampEnents of the regulars
and TIE national guardsmen will be
held next summer. The regulars en-
joy camp as well as garrison service,
though the duties are harder. 1t is
the belief of officers of the army thai
these encampments, into whose mill,
tary life the national state soldiers en-.
ter, would induce enlistments from
the national guard by the hundreds il
the men knew that their pay would be
commensurate with the work tlley arr
willing to do for their country.

of the city. Many arrived in time to
see the robbers riding away. Some of
the citizens opened fire on the fleeing
bandits and the latter returned the fire.

LATEST N, FIRELEss STOVES.
German Improvement Makes Frying
and RoastinE Possible by ooker

German Improvement Makes Frying
and Roasting Possible by Cooker.
In reply to a Kansas City correspond
ent Deputy Consul General John w.
Dye of Berlin furnishes the following
information concerning the newest form
Of fireless stoves in Germany, says the
Daily Trade and Consular Reports.
Fireless stoves, or self cookers, as
they are ~variously known. have been in
S in Germany for a number of years,
so that they may now be classified as
successful. The earlier types were
merely boxes constructed with double
walls, or by secret processes built 50 as
to retain heat when sealed. These cook
ers, which are still on the market, are
used as follows: After a thorough
heating, food to be cooked (stewed or
boiled) is placed inside the box, sealed
and left for a sufficient tirae, when it is
opened and the food, cooked by the re-
tanned heat, is ready to serve.
Recently a company here has inn
proved upon the apparatus and pro-
duced a fireless stove that not only
cooks, but fries and roasts. Profting
by past failures and successes the com
pany has perfected Il cooker that, al
though on the market but a year, has
already proved very popular. Frying
and roasting are accomplished in the
new cooker by the use Of a heated
stone. The stone Is thoroughly heated
in IN oven, over gas or any fire, and
placed in the cooker with the steak OF
roast. The box is sealed up and lef1
for an hour or so, as required, Their
opened. and the food Is fully prepared
and hot. In the double boxes all three
processes may proceed at one time
without care or difficulty.
The OF the patent on this
latest apparatus claim that the sales Ii
the coming year will exceed 10000
cookers in Germany and Switzerland.

Repudiates "Christfan Psychology,
Bishop Fallows, who is heading thu
movement of Christian psychology in
Chicago, has made it very clear that thi,
movement is not to be mistaken as 9
phase of Christian Science. Now Mr.
Archibald Mcclellan, speaking for Mrs
Eddy through the Christian Science Sen
tinel, utterly repudiates any recognition
of Christian psychology, saying: "HeI
teachings show that she cannot indorse al
Christianity the two distinctly contradic
tory statements and points of view con.
tanned in the term Christian psychol
ogy-otherwise Christian materialism.'
Speaking of the teaching of Jesus, hi
says He never complicated spirit with
matter. never taught the finite opposit,
of God, spirit. i%ninity, all. As revealed
in Christian Science. God is u~nconsciou,

A Pneumatic Typewriter.

The Literary Digest. in an article
translated from the French, describes a
newly invented typewriter, which, among
other merits claimed, is said to possess
the quality of being practically noiseless.
The type impression is made by pneu-
matte, pressure supplied through small
tubes, which are opened by the manipu-
lation of keys, as in the ordinary machine.
The types do, not strike the paper forci-

machine also has an automatic multiply
ing attachment that produce a perferat-
ed pattern from which any number OF
perfect copies may be made.
