The strategists Of the War De-
partment, under the direction of
Brig. Gen. Montgomery M. Ma
comb, president Of the Army
War College, have just complet-
ed a detailed European war map.
The new map is based upon the
latest foreign maps, as well as
data gathered from innumerable
sources by army experts. It COW
ers practically all territories now
involved in war, and shows in
great detail fortified areas and
naval bases, torpedo boat sta
lions and submarine, radio sta
tiOns and submarine cables, prin-
cipal; secondary and ordinary
railway lines, steamship lines,
including canals and rivers, cap
itals Of Independent and Deepen
dent states, chief places of adj
ministrative divisions, and other
important localities.

The two days celebration Of
the fftieth anniversary of the
law school of George Washington
University concludes with a ban
quet at Rauscher's tonight, at
which Solicitor General Davis,
Rear Admiral Charles II. Stock
ton, Attorney General Pollard of
Virginia, Chief Justice Clarke of
the North Carolina supreme
court, and several other notables
are scheduled as speakers. The
law school was first organized in
1926, four years after the incor-
poration of the institution as the
Columbian University. 1t was
soon discontinued, however, and
it was not until 1865 that it was
re-established. Since then it has
been in continuous existence,
thus being the oldest law school
in the District of Columbia.
Since 1865 the school has confer
red degrees on more than 5000
persons.

land, Maine. Ossipee is the name
of a river in Maine which flows
into a lake of the same name in
New Hampshire, and is also the
name of an Indian tribe which
formerly occupied that section
of the country. The Tallapoosa
will have its headquarters at
Mobile, Ala. Tallapoosa is the
name of a river running through
the State of Alabama and is an
Indian name indigenous to that
section of the country. The two
cutters will be Of about 900 tons
displacement each, and will be of
the most approved type for coast
guard duty. Each vessel will be
provided with all necessary APP
paratus for rendering assistance
to vessels in distress and for de-
stroying derelicts. Their arma-
ment will be similar to that Of all
other coast guard cutters and
will consist of a battery of six
FOUNDER rapid-ire guns.

The Department of Potomac,
Woman's Relief Corps, is pre-
pairing for the Woman's Relief
Corps guests who will attend the
national G. A. R. e|ncampment to
be held here next September.
Steps have been taken to obtain
the use of the rotunda of the
Capitol for a reception which the
national president, Mrs. Sarah
E. Fulton of Rochester, N. Y, is
to tender to the commander-in-
chief Of the Grand Army Of the
Republic on the second day Of the
encampment. 1t alwyas has
been a difficult matter, it is said,
to obtain a place large enough
for this reception, which is at
tended by from 5000 to 1000
persons. 1t is now suggested
that all the organizations allied
with the Great Army of the Re-
public hold their receptions in
the rotunda at the same time on
the same evening, as there is
belief to be ample room.
Secretary Daniels soon will be
called on to select a commander
in-chief for the Asiatic fleet to
succeed Admiral Walter C. Cow
les, who retires in July. For this
place the names of Rear Admiral
w. F. Fullam, superintendent of
the Naval Academy, and Captain
A. D. WHITEWATER, aid for ma
terial, are being mentioned most
frequently. Captain Winterhal-
ter will be promoted to the grade
of rear admiral this month, and
thus will become eligible for the
command. The appointment is
made more desirable by the fact
that the commander of the Ash
attic fleet becomes an admiral
while the fleet cruises.

sufficient dredging had been done

A NEW DIsINPEcrANT

Asa result OF experiments con-
Quoted at the HYGIENE Laboratory
OF the United States Public Health
Service it is announced that new
disinfectant, possessing qualities
superior to ordinary disinfectants,
has recently been discovered. The
announcement is particularly i'm
portant at this time, coming as 1t
does in the face Of the shortage OF
coal tar derivatives which has re-
suited from the European conflict.
The rev preparation is derived
rom pine oil. a by-product in the
manufacture OF turpentine. 1t is
easily prepared by mixing certain
proportions Of the oil with rosin
and sodium hydroxide solution, the
finished product being a reddish
brown liquid, rather thick and oily
in appearance but free from turbid-
ity. With water il makes per-
fectly white emulsion, much re-
sembling milk. II has a pleasing
Odor, no objectionable taste, and
attacks neither fabrics nor metals.
II possesses over four times the dis
infectant properties Of carbolic acid
and is altogether nOntoxlc, so that
il may safely be used as throat
spray or mouth wash in solutions OF
q ordinary strength. The cost OF
the preparation is remarkably low
as il can be manufactured for less
than fifty cents a gallon, solely
from products which are produced
in this country.
Many Of the disinfectants now on
the market are neither efficient nor
economical, it having been demon
strated that a number OF the most
expensive and widely advertised are
extremely weak in disnfecting pow
er, so much so that their strength
is Understandable by ordinary
methods. The sale of compounds OF
this nature constitutes a fraud. A

WHAT NEXT,

To the average person wireless
telegraphy has been and is still a
mystery. To this great wonder has
been added the greater wonder OF
wireless telephony.
The American Bell Telephone
Company has been at work on this
new idea since 1912 and on the 10Th
OF last month the president Of this
company took down an ordinary re-
ceiver OF a telephone in New York
City. The message was transmitted
over wires TO Arlington where ii
was flashed into the air and was re-
ceived instantly in San Francisco,
a distance OF $500 miles. On the
next day by the same equipment
speech was transferred to Hawaii,
a distance OF 1900 miles.
The wireless electric light is the
next wonder. II has been tested
out, but the cost is prohibitive.
