FIFTY YEARS OF HORROR
IF EUROPE GOES TO WAR.
Scotch Peace Advocate Proves DirefuI
Prophet.

Europe will be swept by devasta-
tion that will last for perhaps fifty
years If any two European powers be-
come involved in war"
/. This statement was made by the
Rev. Walter Walsh, city councillor Of
Dundee, Scotland, and one Of the
worlds foremost advocates of peace
recently before the City club Of Chi
eago on the military situation in Eu
rope. DR.. Walsh deplored the preva-
lence Of war, basing his assertion more
on utilitarian than on humanitarian
principles.
SIT is impossible to believe that any
two Of the great powers would be al
lowed to remain alone in a war; he
said. Europe would be drawn into
two parts arrayed against each other
For instance, Great Britain might be
allied with Russia and France in op-
position to the German and Austrian
empires and perhaps Italy. If war
should begin the result would be bank.

the idea of an agreement that will
prevent war. The German empire is
the strongest individual nation, but it;
would be confronted by mighty alli-
ance IL it should attempt violence to
one of its enemies. Its army is the
best in Europe, but I believe that the
resources Of Great Britain would hold
out longer than those of the Germans.
1.-THE remedy for this situation is to
be found in the establishment of an
international court of arbitral justice.

state, has promised that this court
shall be in existence when the next
Hague conference meets in 1913.

CHURCH BUILT IN ROCK.
Traditional Murder Cause of German
Huriaei4U

Traditional Murder Cause of German
Curiosity.
In the quaint old German town of
Oberstein an ancient church stands,
built in the great rock rising from the
river The front of the building is of
stone, but the church itself is followed
out of the rock and penetrates far into
its heart.
Tradition says that in the fourteenth
century the Count of Oberstein, one of
the old robber barons, fell deeply in
love with a beautiful young lady, the
daughter of neighboring knight. His
brother also sought the fair maiden's
hand, and the two suitors had violent
quarrel The upshot was that the
count flung his hapless brother from
the top Of the castle wall, high up the
precipitous cliff.
Repenting Of his deed, the count
vowed that he would build church
where his brothers body first touched
the ground. He did so, exeavating the
church In the rock. and tradition goes
on to say miraculous spring of clear
water sprang from the crag as token
that heaven was appeased.

A scheme for improving the roads of
Montana by sprinkting them with a
sirup which is a refuse in the manu-
facture Of granulated sugar from sugar
beets will be submitted to the good
roads convention and is being widely
discussed in Billings
The idea Of using refuse sirup on
roads grew out of an experiment made
by tennis club. When the court was

annoyance; also the fact that with
every rain the soil was picked up by
the shoes Of the tennis players.
In looking about for a cheap binder

When mixed with salt and poured

inches the ground was rendered imper-

PNEUMATIC TIRE MARKS.
L0CoMoTi0N'S PROGRESS.
But Edinburgh Cannot Decide Whit
Was inventor.

The dispute arose about statue.
Who invented the pneumatic tire? To
whom should Edinburgh give honor in
bronze or marble-to r. W. Thorn
son, who patented an air filed tire in
1876, or to John Dunlop, who invented
the pneumatic tire in 1888? The dis
pute carries the imagination back over
one Of the most astonishing episodes in
Industrial history.
It was in 1845 that Thomson patent
ed the idea Of afxing a "belt" filed
with compressed air to the rim Of q
carriage wheel, and, although his In
vention never came into practical use,
he showed great knowledge Of the
good effects which would follow from
the use Of the pneumatic tire.
Forty-three years later John Dunlop,
without any knowledge Of the Thom-
son invention, patented a pneumatic
tire. The safety bicycle had then come
into vogue, but its wheels were shed
with solid rubber tires. Mr. Dunlop's
little son possessed a tricycle., and as
the Dunlops then lived In Belfast and
the Irish roads were Of very bad sur
face this veterinary surgeon applied
rubber tube filed with compress
ed air, and it afforded such com
fort to the rider that Mr.. Dunlop
brought the idea before adult cyclists.
and some enthusiasm was aroused But
Mr.. Dunlop would have hardly been
more successful in 1888 than Thomson
In 1845 had not another man appeared
on the scene
Harvey du Cros was at that time a
prominent figure in Irish sporting cir
cles, and his sons were famous for
their prowess in cycle racing. With
true business instinct Mr.. du Cros saw
the immense possibilities of the pneu-
matte tire for cycles, and he threw
himself heart and soul into the work
of making this crude invention prac-
ticable. His early efforts were greeted
with derision.
Then Mr.. du Cros took a band of
Irish cyclists, including his sons and
R. ]. Mecredy to England, and they
gained sweeping victories with the
pneumatic tire on the racing track.
But for the enterprise and ability of
Harvey du Cros Mr.. Dunlop's inven-
ton might have lain dormant for many
years.
Had this been the case the whole
progress Of modern locomotion from
motoring to airmanship would have
been checked, for we can trace the di
rect influence of the air filed tire in
all the astonishing developments of
the last twenty-five years. So from
the bad state of Irish roads. from the
solicitude of a fond parent to make
smooth progress for his sons cycle
over rough roads. Thomson's idea was
recreated, and this time the right man
was at hand to develop the idea

"As people will gamble, would have

on the races should be penalized so
that ultimately racing would cease ex-

Atlantic and Great Lakes.
When the Catherine NJ, seaworthy
thirty-five foot cruising launch, came
alongside Chicago dock recently she
had finished a remarkable cruise of
6,312 miles on river, ocean and lake in
the exact running time Of S55 hours
and 58 minutes.
Ralph NJ. Pearson. twenty-five years
old, who is in the newspaper delivery
business. built the boat and navigated
her the entire distance. He and his
mother were passengers. Their cruise
took them down the old Illinois and
Michigan canal, through the Illinois
and Mississippi rivers, along the gulf
coast. through the keys of Florida to
Miami, thence partly by inland water
ways and partly on the ocean to New
York, up the Hudson. through the Erie
canal and back to Chicago by way of
the great lakes.
The start from Chicago was made
May 8, 1909. and only in two instances
didHthe young navigator encounter seri-
Gus difficulty. The first was on July
II, 1909, off Cape Romano, Fla. when
a hurricane carried the boat twenty
five miles out to sea, where it strug-
gled with the storm during the great
er part of the night. but finally got
safe into anchorage among the keys.
In the middle of Lake Erie the craft
sprung leak in choppy sea and for
a time threatened to go to the bottom.
