Still Fighting

London, September 2-Q:O2 a. m. )-The forty-fourth anniversary of Sedan and the beginning of the fifth week of the war in western Europe find the Ger man armies still fighting for a road to Paris. The second great battle in the western theatre of the war. and a battle which promises to decide the course of that war, has been progressing for more than three days. That fact Is almost the sum total of the knowledge which Great Britan and France have tonight of the course of mighty events
 The battle is being fought by the Ger mans to turn the left flank of the allied armies.
 That the Germans have pushed back the French and British forces on that flank to certain extent is revealed by official French announcements. They say that the German advance has been made at enormous cost of lives and energy and the French and English are asking whether the German army is not becom- ing exhausted by it's heavy losses.
 The allies claim they maintain an ex- cellent organization and that their troops are in the best of spirits. They also claim that the defensive campaign they are maintaining means tht the Germans are throwing themselves against a wall which has yielded but has the advantages of position and strategy on it's side

the foreign trade by the war;"
 "Of course, cannot discuss the diplo- matlc phases of the question" said Sec retary McAdoo. ''That is the business of the state department. It cannot be suc- cessfully disputed, however, that this gov ernment has the right to buy ships from German companies or anyone else so long as it buys those ships for neutral uses.'
 Tt is stated that payment for the ships would be in the nature of supplying funds to belligerent nation,' observed Repre- sentative Saunders.
 ''The ships are not owned by the govern- ment. They are owned by private citi- zens and the money would be paid to those citizens, not to the government" an- swered MT. McAdoo.
 But it is said that these lines are so closely connected with the government that payment would be practically to the government" MT. Saunders persisted.
 Nothing in Objection
 'I think there is nothing in that ob- jection," said the secretary.
 There is no more punctilious citizen of the United States with respect to neutral ity." he continued, than the President who would be the chief representative of the government in the company to be organized under this bill. We can rest assured of absolute neutrality"
 The secretary explained that the gov- ernment would be exactly In the same position as a private stockholder so far as international conditions were con- cerned, and that sthe question of sov- ereignty never would be raised in a prize court.
 letter from William M. Coates, presi- dent of the Philadelphia Board of Trade, was read, protesting against the bill and recommending direct subsidy to build up the merchant marine.

NATURAL ELECTRICITY.
Tapping the Air For II Problem
That Battles Science.

nat oaIieS OCtcnCc.
In answering the question. is the
prophecy that went the rounds about
twenty years ago that some way OF
tapping nature and thus securing un-
limited supplies of electricity from air
or from space coming true?" Edgar
Lucien Larkin in the New York Ameri-
can says:
The nearest approach to the great
work of tapping natures unlimited
store of electricity is the act allowing
irrigating streams from high noun
tains to turn turbine generators over
and over again In different power
plants along down the sides of the
mountains and then after securing all
mechanical work of gravitation secure
growing work in the growth of food
plants. This is the height at present
of human skill in the work of tapping
nature"
Windmills turning armatures is an
other way of tapping. And the cap
ture of water in tides. using the force
of outflow. is still another. We still
have the dynamos with us. We must
turn armatures with their polar fields
of magnetic lines.
| We must use running water or flow
ing winds to tap nature or burn carbon
under boilers. which is too expensive
and prosaic to be called the high art of
tapping, as one would. turn a faucet.
l suppose my correspondent means
Just tapping free supply. This auspi.
cious event has not arrived unless
using solar engines Is tapping. Heat
reflected by mirrors directly from the
MONDAY sun upon boilers has been
made to generate steam and turn ar
natures.
Another way of tapping is to allow
the sun to shine on thermo electric
piles, unions of ends of bars of unlike
| metals.
What my friend evidently wants Is
electricity as cheap as air. water and
sunlight. This really Is the dream OF
electricians. Since nothing exists but
electrons. and these are electricity. II
does seem that we ought to get all we
want for nothing by merely taking OF
tapping the supply. But Edison
Thomson. Rutherford and Tesla and
Steinmetz have not blaZed the way
into this unknown problem of the
ages.
/ have no doubt that man will make
this conquest. for the mind phasing IL
man is illimitable.
