For the benefit of the numerous or
CARNATIONS who helped to sell near

last year and for the general public,
the American Red Cross and the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis have
, framed a definition of anti-tuberculo-

from these holiday stickers are to be
used. The definition limits the expen-
diture of money only for the year
ending April 80, 1915.
The definition was framed at re-

Inventor Of the Airbrake.

Who really invented the airbrake?
Certainly the automatic airbrake, the
one that has proved practicable and of
permanent value in modern railroad
ing, was the product CT the late George
Westinghouse ingenuity. His patent
for the automatic brake was taken out
in 1872, superseding the non-automatic
or straight" Westinghouse airbrake
patented in 1869, and later the West
inghouse vacuum brake was invented.
But, as in the case of most other in
ventions. there are several claimants
for originality in this field. Thus
Nine. NJ. Drouanet, daughter of M.
Debruges of Paris, claims the distinc-
ton of priority for her father. The
New York Times has letter from
State Senator William p. Fiero of
White Plains containing patent Office
declaration by his grandfather, Henry
Miller, of new and useful improve
ment in the application of steam and
compressed air to the purpose of OPP
Grating railroad brakes" recorded Jan
uary 2, 1855. Mr.. Miller was doubt
less a pioneer in the progress of air
brake invention.

Washington.-Grea Britain has re-
ceived no proposals for peace either
directly or indirectly, from Germany
or Austria and therefore has nothing
TO say on the subject.
This was the substance of a mes.
sage received Friday night by Sir Ce-
ell Spring-Rice, British ambassador
here, from Sir Edward Grey. British
foreign secretary. The ambassador
had inquired whether any peace pro-
nosal was before his government in
view of persistent rumors from Ber-
lin that proposals were being ex-
changed.
Coincident with the receipt of this
information from Great Britain it was
learned that President Wilson had not
pursued either with Great Britain
France or Russia, the informal sugges-
ton of the imperial German chancel-
lor that 1T was up to the United
States to obtain a statement of peace
terms from the allies"
At the White House the view was
expressed that the president virtual
ly had abandoned the idea of con-
tinuing the informal peace movement
begun 10 days ago in a conversation
between Oscar Straus and Count Won
Bernstorff. the German ambassador.
He has decided to await definite ex.
preston from one Of the belligerents,
feeling it would be inconsistent with
American neutrality to press any of
the bellgerents to make oyertures
The informal exchanges thus far
conducted by the American ambassa-
doris at Berlin, London and Paris
have brought forth identical state
ments, each side charging the other
with responsibility for starting the
war, each declaring it had been at
tackled and Saving ii would consider
terms of peace only if overtures were
made by the enemy with definite
statement Of terms.

Some people are too dull to cut even

The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1914-12-02

Among countries that pretend to
any military importance at all, the
United States is the only one that
has no system Of maintaining a mill
tary reserve back of the regular
army. Our National Guard is not,
in the proper sense, a reserve as
other countries consider reserves.
General Wotherspoon's recent report
made clear this reserve system. IN
der it men serve a fixed term with
the colors of the regular army, and
are licked into soldierly efficiency;
then they are released from service
with the colors, and become part of
the reserve, liable for a fixed term
of years to be called upon for active
service. General Wotherspoon cal
cuiated that if we should create a
standing army of 205,000 men, and
fix the term of active service with
the colors at three years, we would
have in the reserve just about
100000 men at the end of five years.
These, all highly trained, regular
soldiers, could be called out when
needed; added to the 2O5,000 regu-
lars maintained at all times, they
would give US a total of 100000
really effective troops.
This plan does not contemplate a
great standing army, which has very
properly been deemed inappropriate
in a democracy. But it would create
a reserve of citizen soldiery that
would insure the reasonable ability
of the country to make a respectable
showing of defending itself if at
tackled.
