j. S. IS EXPERIMENTING
WITH LIGHTS FOR WAR
Secretary Garrison Directs Ex-
haustive Study Be Made by
Engineer Corps.

Taking a lesson from the European
war, the Secretary of War has directed
the Engineer Corps to make an exhaus-
tive study of and extensive field ex-
periments with searchlghts, flares, star
bombs and other lights.
For some time the army and navy
have been using searchlights, and in
the Russo-Japanese war they were EN-
ployed by both armies, but not until
the European conflict did they become
such important auxiliaries of an army
Searchlight and star bombs have be-
come absolutely necessary to meet the
constant night attacks by armies in
the various theaters of war. Search
lights are not only used to detect the
movements of the enemy, but to blind
troops when they are charging across
The zone Of fire. and to discornht the
pilots Of aeroplanes flying aloft
The type used in Europe and the one
that Will probably be adopted in this
country throws an intense light for a
mile. On body of troops charging
across clear field in the European war
hundreds of searchliGhts are imme-
diately concentrated Frequently whole
origades are thrown into greater confu-
sion by the binding lights from the de-
Tending force, than if they were sub
jected to field artillery fire. 1t is de-
clared to be impossible to advance a
body of troops in the face of strong

CREEK PREMIER AND PREDECESSOR
IN TIFF OVER BULGARIAN PROPOSAL

Office because he opposed a continual
tion of the policy of neutrality by
Greece, has had published a statement
in which he declares he never proposed
such concessions to Bulgaria, but, on
the contrary, always rejected the claims
of that nation. He says in the state
ment that the rectifications of the from
tier which he proposed were to take
effect only after the close of the war
and were subject to the conditions that
Greece should obtain possession of 40
square kilometers (about eighty-seven
square miles) of territory in Asia
Minor. This project fell through, he
says, because Bulgaria had arranged
loan with Germany.

While there Is general expectancy
that the Prinz Eitel Friedrich. the Ger
man commerce raider that has been
tied up for repairs at Newport News,
may have taken advantage of the
storm to cloak a dash from port while
allied warships are waiting for her
beyond the three-miIe limit last posi-
tive information was that she was still
at Newport News.
The only assured communication is
by wireless and in strict observance
of neutrality government officials are
maintaining the most careful secrecy
regarding the movement or intention
of the German ship. The latest definite
word was early last night. when Sec
retary Daniels informed President Will
son that the Prinz EiteI was still at
the dock. All messages concerning the
ship are transmitted to the President
as soon as received.
An unofficial report received at the
White House last night conveyed the
information that high winds had forced
the allied feet watching for the Prinz
Eitel five miles off shore. 1t was said
that the weather off the capes con-
tinued very bad and was ideal for the
escape of the PrinZ Eitel.
U. S. Officials Silent.
Officials at the Navy and State depart

would not comment on the Eiters
movements until at least twenty-four
hours had elapsed after her depar rture,
although any announcement as to in

extensive preparations made by the
Eitel for another cruise have confused
naval officers here in their speculations
as to what the Eitel really will do, but
the opinion still prevails with most of
them that the vessel probably will be
interned as soon as her time limit for
repairs has expired.
Obligations of strict neutrality caused
the United States government to i'm
pose absolute secrecy on all informa-
tion pertaining to the movement or in
tentions Of the Prinz Eitel.

Conducts Experiments.

The engineer depot at Washington
barracks, where the experiments are
being conducted, has taken on the ap-
pearance Of fireworks factory. Not
only Is the Engineer Corps experiment
ing with every type of light producer
that it has been able to obtain from
foreign countries. but it is testing out
quite a number of American inven-
tions. That work will continue at
Washington barracks until some time
in October, when all of the search
lights and light producing devices will
be shipped to Texas. where battalion
of engineers will try them out in the
field.
1t is not proposed by the Secretary of
War to purchase d large quantity of
searchlights and fireworks, but accord
ing to his instructions the officers will
develop types of searchlight and light
producing devices that can be produced
by small changes in standard articles
of this character that can be purchased
in the open market. In the event of
war the country would depend largely
upon private concerns to furnish that
class of equipment for the army.

When Lights Are Used.

Searchlights, so far as can be learned
from unofficial reports. are used only
after the fire of field artillery ceases
and at a time when the enemy is
charging They are kept dark during
the field artillery duel which usually
precedes an engagement. To turn on
searchlight previous to that time
gives the enemy an opportunity to
use it's field artillery effectively.
In illuminating field over which the
enemy is to advance star bombs and
hares are employed. Flares have been
developed from fireworks, and are SINH
lar to what is known as red, white
and blue lights used in Fourth of July
celebrations In Illuminating streets and
parks. SapperS are sent a distance be-
fore the line with flares, which are
connected with the headquarters of
the officers in command of the first
line, and can be set off at intervals so
as to keep the battle front Illuminated
throughout the night.
Star bombs also are a development
of modern fireworks They are shot
from mortars up into the sky. where
they will maintain an intense light.
which illulninates the surrounding
country for twenty minutes. Before
one bomb dies out another Is shot up
in the air, and thus the battle front
is kept as we'll lighted as the streets
of a city. There Is type of star
bomb which is shot up into the sky
like an ordinary docket. Some of that
'type are used in signaling at night by
both armies.
