Scandal Mongering Women Play Havoc
in German Village.

Berlin. Sept 23.-The thriving town Of
Hattersheim, IN Hesse, has declared war
on women gossips. Scandal mongering
women have played such havoc with the
connubial bliss Of the community that the
Bureomaster has resoTted to the drastic
extreme OF issuing municipal proclama-
ton designed TO check the garrulousness
Of the feminine population. The following
is the text Of his homily on the evils Of
gossip:

WAR MADE MORE TERRIBLE
German Inventors Control Boats
and Airships by Wireless.

London, Sept 24.-According to the cor
respondent Of THE Standard" unnamed
ships, submarine vessels and steerable bal
looms controlled and driven forward or
backward, steered hither and thither-han-
died with perfect ease by an invisible hand
on shore in the case of vessels and SUBJ
marines and on the ground in the case OF
airships-are the latest production OF Ger
man inventive ingenuity, and one more
terror has been added by the new device
to the horrors of modern warfare.
Two Germans. the electrical engineer
Christopher Wirth and the manufacturer
Christopher Beck, have invented ship
whose engine can be started or stopped and
whose helm can be controlled by the cleo
trical waves communicated without wires
to a receiving apparatus on board the
mysterious vessel by a sending apparatus
on shore, similar to that required for wire
less telegraphy BY means of these electri-
cal waves a gun on board the ship can be
fired and signals can be transmitted, both
by fiashlight and by bells. All these Won
ders are possible within d radius of eigh-
teen miles from the wireless station on
shore, which transmits the controlling
force to the vessel. The practicability Of
the new invention has been demonstrated
by exhaustive experiments on the Dutzend-
teich, q large expanse of water near Nu-
remberg, with motor boat, the Prinz
Ludwig. An eyewitness of these tests
writes:

George Howe, an employe of the Fern

carry out the instructions Of his fore
man TO clean the machinery which he
operated Howe took the ground that
the cleaning of machinery was not a
proper part or MS NoTh- ~ Sd1he Aoi-
lowed and arbitration was sought. The
owners Of the Fern Mill insisted, how
ever, that before the dispute was sub
mitted TO arbitration work be resumed
without the employment Of Howe. The
operatives, on the other hand, demanded
that either the mill remain closed until
the arbitrators had rendered decision
or that Howe be permitted TO resume
work temporarily with the other men.
At this point the federation took a
hand and threatened to-day's lockout
unless the Fern Mill men accepted arbi-
tration on the terms proposed by the
owners. The Cardroom Amalgamation
refused TO yield. and after several con-
ferences hope of an amicable adjust
