TORPEDO ATTRACTED BY SHIP
Nations Interested in Deadly Weapon
Said to Have been Recently
Designed by American.

1t is said that the beligerent ma
tions are much interested in the re-
cent invention by an American of a
torpedo which, according to its maker
Is more effective than any other ever
used. BY means of magnetic cleo
trical device. which is affected by any
great mass of metal, the rudders guild
Ing the torpedo are also affected in
such way that 1t will steer in that
direction. So sensitive is this device
that If the missile be discharged at
a ship at a range of two or three or
even five miles that ship is doomed.
The torpedo has two arms of nickel
silver attached on either side. pro-
jecting at right angles. AT the ends
of these arms are wire magnetic
coils. about four inches in diameter
Upon these magnetic coils hinges the
success of the torpedo A high-fre-
quency current passes through them.
and the presence of any great mass of
metal charges the self-induction which
effects the electrical relays, and these
in turn operate the motor controlling
the rudder, So the torpedo will fol.
low its target, and win steer for it
no matter how often the target NAV
change its course or position.

GREss WARS EFFECTS
lBY Associated press.l

Muskogee, Okla, April 80 Willard
Straight of New York, member Of j.
p Morgan & Co., and representative
' of the National Foreign Trade council,
told the Southern Commercial con
gress here today that with conditions
bound to arise after the European
war. negotiation Of reciprocal trade
arrangements should be facilitated,
trade reprisals should be made pos
sible and that tariff board might be
found necessary.
eIt is foolish, said he. for us to
talk complacently Of capturing British
and German trade because Europe is
at war and because the Monroe doc
trine is supposed to give some sort Of
hypnotic claim to the profits ofASouth
American commerce. Much OF the
business upon which we are now en-
gagged is directly attributable to the
war. Once the war is over, it will not
be long before Europe, commercially
and industrially better organized than
before, win aggressively undertake to
recoup itself for its losses by extend
ing and developing its foreign trade"
Mr. Straight declared that when the
war ends there may be a political re-
action and financial and industrial de-
preston throughout Europe.
Industry, finance, commerce and
diplomacy will have been co-ordinat-
cd in Great Britain and France as well
as Germany. There will be new ma
tional consciousness in Russia, con-
solidated Italy, alert states in the
and Candanavia and Japan

that the Austrian retreat in eastern
Galicia has developed into a rout,
that the Austrians are also being
beaten in western Galicia, that all
German attacks on the Bzura-Rawka
front have been repulsed and that the
Germans have undergone a severe re-
verse in fighting fifty miles north OF
Cracow.
The German general staff reports
that the allied fleet has appeared
again off the Belgian coast, but that
no firing has taken place. The repulse
of a French attack in the Argonne is
also recorded.
The French war Office reports the
success of operations in Alsace and
that the slackening of the
allied offensive, noticed recently, has
been caused by the incessant rains
all along the front. At one point the
French gained 300 meters and at an
other 500 meters.

By forcing this pass the Russians
gain control of some of the most val

only part of the Russian task.

Investigation

Representative Palmer and Repre-

On the request of Senator Oliver,

the expenditure of vast sums on be-

that proper returns of the expendi-

That the manner of the use of this

The fifth month of the battle of the

PITTSTON BANKER ARRESTED
President of First National Charged
With Over-C ratification of Checks,

With Over-Ce ratification of Checks.
William L. Watson, president of the
First National bank, of Pittston, Pa,
was arrested after Roger L. Burnett,
assistant United States district attor-
ney, had gone before United States
Commissioner George G. Shauer and
charged Watson with over-certifica-
ton checks to his own account
amounting to $4,000.
j. Castle Ridgway, bank examiner,
discovered the manner in which Wat
son is alleged to have ove~r-certifed
his bank account and he reported to
the Washington authorities, who di-
rected the arrest.
In the period between April 2, 1918,
and May %, 1914, Watson certified
checks to himself to the amount of
$4,000. These certified checks were
issued when his personal account in
the bank was thousands of dollars
short of the amount to the checks.
The checks were taken to Scranton.
where Watson bought securities, and
these securities he brought back to
his W bank, gave them as collateral
on notes which he had issued to him
self.
By the time his certified checks
were presented from Scranton banks
the money he had procured from his
W bank was placed to his credit
and the amount of the certified checks
thus met.

Won Hindenburg Hurts Great Army
Toward Warsaw In New Drive In
Poland.
Poland.


Broken remnants of the Turkish
army that invaded Trans-C aucasia are
being pursued by the victorious Rus
sian forces.
The defeat of the Ottoman forces
was a rout. The Russians are report
ed to have taken $4,000 prisoners, be-
sides vast quantities of war munitions
and many guns.
The Ninth Turkish corps 100000
mem was annihilated and the Tenth
corps was so badly shattered that 1t
was unable to offer any organized re-
sistance
Grand Duke Nicholas notified the
war office that the Russian victory
was complete, and paid a tribute to
the valor of the Russian troops.
The Ninth and Tenth Turkish corps
were in the army which crossed the
frontier near Sari-Kamysh, ON the
road to Kars. Another column, which
took Arabian, two days ago, has
been driven from that town and is re-
ported to be almost surrounded by
Russian troops, which hold the main
roads.
The Russian victory at Sari Kamvsh
and the recapture of Arabian, an i'm.
portant ~juntfon point of the noun
tain roads from the Turkish frontier
to Kars and Tfafs apparently removes
whatever to those cities was
presented by the Turkish invasion.
The German invaders of Poland
have renewed their activity in the
north. The line from Thorn to Plock
is swarmed with Teuton troops, and
it Is believed the German command
er-in-chief has as his objective the
capture of the right bank of the upper
Vistula. This would indicate a German
advance on Warsaw by way of Novo
Georgievsk.
The enemy is employing light river
boats, armed with machine guns to
aid this movement, but the Russian
commanders are confident that their
overwhelming superiority in numbers
will preclude success by Germany in
this new plan of campaign. Large
Russian forces now occupy that terri.
tory.
By ~entrenchtng the troops on the
front in central Poland, Field Marshal
Won H~indenburg has SO strengthened
his defenses that he has been able TO
withdraw at least five army corps
100000 mem from the central front
and throw them into the new attack
from the north.
