TRIP THROUGH GERMANY

sent two of the men with this Ger
man to the American Consul and lie
sent back word to the same affect
So this German found a hotel for us,
and after showing our passports we
were given rooms. We were locked
in this hotel for three days and we
found out later that there were three
hundred Americans locked in another
one. We were told that this was for
our own protection as the public
could not tell the difference between
an American and an Englishman and
they did not want any more people
interfered with. Later we were al
lowed out and could 90 any where
but were told not to talk English.
After little over two weeks we
were told to come to the police head
quarters again. We had already
been there to register. We were Civ
en- passports and told that we could
so on if We're willing to put up with
what accommodations we could get.

| Hundreds of the people cleared out
in the next few days. but We waited
! and few days later caught Dutch
steamer on the Rhine going to Rot
terdam. We left Bicbrich about ESQ
a. m. one morning and it took us
three days to make the trip. The
part from Biebrich to Bonn is beau
tiful and from that on il is rather a
fat and uninteresting sail. We were
stopped about every five miles by
military boats all the way to tho
Dutch border. We had Jap, Eve
French and number of British peo-
pie on the boat with us and at
Coblenz they were all arrested but
afte- an hour or so they were all al
lowed to come back on the boat
That evening we arrived at Bonn
about $50 and they later allowed all
Americans to find hotels for the
night and told us to be on board at
6 a. m. This was the dy oaf the Ger
mans claimed their first victory and
the people celebrated by hanging
flags all over. At night every thing
was kept dark on account OF aero
planes.
At noon the second day we landed
at Cologne and all the Americans
were allowed to leave the boat con
showing their passports), to see the
city and cathedral. That night we
stopped at Dusseldorf and about noon

ELECTRICITY.
And the Terms Energy, Pressure, In
tensity and Quantity.

What is electricity?
The question was put directly to DIR.
Charles Proteus Steinmetz, the famous
EXPERT in the hope that he than whom
no one knows more about it-might be
able if not to tell what it is at least to
give definite idea of what it may be.
Dr. SteinmetZ replied:
ELECTRICITY is loose term, used mis-
cellaneously in referring to all matters
electrical
TO give it definite meaning one
must know whether reference is made
TO electrical energy, electrical pressure,
electrical intensity or electrical guam
tity.
Electrical quantity represented in
the electrical current) is generally as
sumed by scientists TO be a substance
with atomical structure, the unit of
which is the electron
electrical pressure is meant in re-
ferring to the voltage. Electrical in
tenSity is the voltage per unit lengths.
Magnetism is a similar term. which
does not mean anything to the scien-
fist Two pieces of steel may have eX-
actly the same STRUCTURE as far as sci
ence can determine. and yet one may
contain magnetic quantity and the 9TH
or be without it, or the two may con-
tain the same amount of magnetic
quantity and have different magnetic
intensity. Quantity times intensity
equals energy.
There may be the same quantity of
water in two pipes and different pres
sure, or there may be the same pres
sure and different quantity. If water.
the liquid water pressure and water
power were all loosely called water we
should have the same confusion that
the words electricity and magnetism
suggest to the scientist

Safer hit in the big sixth inning.
Art Wilson pulled a play in the
fifth inning against the Brooklyn
Feds yesterday that did not hurt in
the ultimate result, but it was mighty
poor brain flashing.
A runner was on third and one on
first with two out. The count was
three and two on the batter. With
the next pitch the man on first raced
for second. The throw was the
fourth ball, but Wilson pegged to
second. His throw was bad, and the
runner on third scored the fifth run.
Even if Wilson had made a good
throw the man who was on first
would not have been out, as he would
have earned the bag through the four
balls handed the batter.

sented to Judge Alfred Bulge Of this

citation for this additional evidence of
their true friendship, stated that it
was his intention to become a candi-

filed with the secretary of state; that
he would give to the duties of the Of
flee that same careful and conscienti-
GUS consideration which had been his
utmost endeavor during the time that
he has served the people in that capa-

to the public and the attorneys could
only be repaid by a constant effort
upon his part to administer the law
fearlessly and justly as he under
stood it, and having a desire at all
times to do exact justice between the
attorneys and the litigants so far as
he was capable of understanding their
rights under the law and the facts in
each particular case.

hopes that he will be able to so con-
duct himself in the administration of
the duties of his Office that he may
be entitled to enjoy the confidence
and respect of the public, as well as
