HAND WIRELESS PLANT INVENTED
Weighs Only Eight Pounds But Car
Send Messages 800 Miles

A wireless telegraph instrument
weighing eight pounds, that can be
carried in a hand satchel and oper.
ated from an automobile, was tested
by officers of the United States sig.
nal corps on Bedloes island, New
York, recently.
The instrument was connected with
the antennae of the wireless station
on the island and sent a message
which was received at Fort Hancock
or Sandy Hook, 81 miles away.
1t is claimed that the instrument
can send messages 1000 feet or more
without antennae, and that it woulc
be valuable in trench warfare. The
extreme radius of its operation is
said to be 300 miles.

PLANNING IRRIGATION PROJECT
Victor Barndt and Associates Will
Develop Large Tract In
Railroad Valley

Carson Appeal: While in Carson
the past week looking after pending
legislation Victor Barndt of the de-
velopment company which for three
years past has been sinking wells in
Railroad Valley, Nye County, in
search of potash. completed filings in
the Surveyor Generals office on a
big tract of land, $4,000 or 10000
acres, which his company has taken
up under the Carey Act.
In their search for potash Mr.
Barndt and his associates spent $780,
600 in sinking wells, and while their
development went for naught as far
as discovering payable quantities of
potash, they opened up a number of
artesian flows, capable, it is stated,
of irrigating a large area of land.
With this water available it is now
their intention to start in on a big
colonization scheme, The wells they
sank, and from other tests made, de-
veloped the fact that most of Railroad
valley is covered with a soil twelve
or more feet deep, and from anal
Uses made at the State University and
by Government experts it is exceed
ingly rich in nutritive qualities. 1t
is stated, but not authoritatively.
that the Mormon church has taken a
big interest in the proposed scheme
and may assist in colonizing the val
ley, where there is room for hum
dreds of families.

UNITED STATES PROVES FRIEND

To an extent not generally appre-
lciated. the Government of the United
States is acting as a clearing house
flor the belligerent powers OF the
world. Wherever there's a prisoner
of war or a civilian citizen interned
on hostile ground, there the Govern
ment of the United States is his Off
cial friend. Whenever an inquiry
is made as to the safety Of an individ-
ual, soldier or citizen, the United
States alone is looked to for the infor-
nation. The effect of this humani-
tartan service, to say nothing of the
official service now being given, is
leaving an indelible impression on
the hearts of men and women within
earshot of the sound of bursting
bombshells and the rattle of musketry
No job which has in it the element
of an aching heart is too small for
this Government to undertake. Re-
Gently a German mother, whose son
was captured at Kiao-chau, wrote to
a friend in the United States, asking
her help in finding her son. The
friend sent a letter to Washington,
and an inquiry was made OF Japan
by the State Department concerning
this man. In due time an official
report was received of his presence
as a prisoner of war in a small town
in Japan. where he was found well
and in good circumstances. Because
the United States. a great neutral
power, asked it, this information was
forthcoming. 1t is one of a thousand
instances of a similar kind which are
going on every day.
The great prison camps in Ger
many. France. England and Russia,
particularly those in which civilian
prisoners are informed, are under the
watchful eye of American represent
atives. Even in war-away India,
where in a single internment camp
are 1900 men of military age. separ-
ated from their wives and families,
and in German East Africa, where
the British recently assumed control
of part of the territory, the agents
of this Government are on the job
looking after the men, if transferred
to places away from their families,
and to the families themselves.
whether left behind or accompanying
the fathers or sons. The aggregate
of such cases as these is not known
but it is safe to say that it is con-
siderable.

WORSE THAN GUNPoWDER

Lloyd George. as Chancellor of the
British Exchequer, would take risks
for Britain against all the German
submarines in all the British seas,
rather than against the drink habit
of the British people and the legal
lied liquor traffic of the British ma
ton. That choice would be W Sc,
safe. statesmanlike. Indeed, it is
now becoming a common saying
among the economists and social re-
formers that for the Allies the war
itself, immeasurable though it's losses
must be, would have in them a gain
to match if it brought about the COM
plete and permanent abolition of the
liquor and drug habits in Britain, in
France and in Russia. At this mo-
ment the problems of the war. so far
as Britain is concerned. are being ag-
gravated in their difficulty by the
drink habits of the people. No
wonder the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer declares the government
will exercise its wide powers fear
lessly. The sooner the better for
Britain's sake, and the worlds.
The very deepest tragedy of the
war is that so many hundreds of
thousands of Britain's best breed.
the young. the virle, the fit, are
marched out to wounding and death,
while a percentage of the next gen.
Grafton of Briton's. greater than ever
before in British history. will be
bred by the understood, the unheroic,
the unnerved. who will breed after
their kind their handicapped and
thewless progeny. War will kill the
fit. The unfit will survive and their
children will be made still more unfit
by the liquor habits which destroyed
their parents. War will slay its
thousands. but alcohol its tens of
thousands.
