New York, Nov. 9.-~Night's darkness

wars will be fought without the use
of explosives. all through the discav.
cry that brought him the Nobel prize
In physics, In the opinion of Nikola
Tesla.
Il have concluded" he said, that
the honor has been conferred on me in
acknowledgment of discovery an
nounced short time ago which con-
Germs the transmission OF electrical
energy without wires. This discovery
means that electrical effects Of unlim.
tied intensity and power can be pro-
duced so that not only can energy be
transmitted for all practical purposes
to any terrestrial distance, but even
effects of cosmic magnitude may be
created"
Mr.. Tesla said wireless telephony
would be brought to a perfection I'M
dreamed OF. and added:
I'VE will deprive the ocean of its
terrors by Illuminating the sky, thus
avoiding collisions at sea and other
disasters caused by darkness. We will
draw unlimited quantities OF water
from the ocean and irrigate the
deserts and other arid regions. In this
way we will derive any amount Of
power from the sun.

waged by electrical waves instead of

Washington, Nov. 6.-Former Sec.
Rotary Bryan came out squarely
against President Wilson's national
defense plan In a formal statement In
which he took issue with the Presi
dents views as expressed before the
Manhattan club in New York.
The club" he said, was no place
for the enunciation of such program,
being the one place in the United
States where the mammon worshiping
portion of the Democratic party meet
to exchange compliments.
"A departure from our traditions,
reversal OF our national policy, a
menace to our peace and safety and
a challenge to the spirit OF Christi.

others by example rather than by ex.

says the country is not threatened

phatic, he adds: There 10 no fear

to exchange our policy for the policy
of Europe? Why abandon the hope
that We have so long entertained of
