HEATERS

The first public trial of a reaping machine in America was held eighty two years ago today, July 2, 1888. The reaper was the invention of Obed Hussey, and was given it's public test before the Hamilton County Agricul- tural Society, near Carthage. Ohio. So successful was the machine that the news of the trial spread all over the world, and Hussey's machine was hailed as an epochaI invention. Illus sey had been working on his inven- ton for several years, and in 1892, a year before the public trial, he cut a. harvest with it. Hussey incor- porated with his machine a, reel for laying the grain backward which was a feature of an earlier reaper in vented in 1926 by Rev Patrick Bell, a clergyman of Scotland, and he also used a grain-divider invented by Abraham Randall. The Hussey ma chine was patented on the last day of 1893. The following year the Hussey reaper was in use in Ohio, Illinois and New York In 1885 it was introduced in Missouri and in 1897 into Penn sylvania- For a decade the Hussey machine was alone in the field and sank the new harvest song without accompaniment, but after that it had many rivals.

The Rt. Hon. David Lloyd-George, the Welsh statesman who, as Chan ceIlor of the Exchequer in the Asquith cabinet, gained an international rep utation because of his radical and dem mocratic measures, has tackled one of the biggest jobs of his career as
 minister of munitions in the new British coalition cabinet. He was born in Manchester, of Welsh parents and is now fifty-two years old. His father, William George, master of the Hope Street Unitarian School in Liverpool, died when the future statesman was youngster, and at an early age he had to face the

William Le Queux,
 51 Today, Under Ban
 Of British Censor

William Le Queux, the prominent British novelist, war correspondent and former member of the British secret service, will be fifty-one years old today. His latest book, "Brttain's s Deadwly Peril,' is a bitter denuncia- ton of the British government for it's alleged failure to deal capably with the German spies who, he in, sists, are numerous throughout the United Kingdom and constitute a deadly menace to the nation. His book was so strong in it's depletion of the 'sspy periI' that it was iInnae ediate- ly suppressed by the British censor. Le Qneux asserts that he has per sonalIy observed German spies flash ing signals from places along the English coast, but that he was only scoffed at when he reported his dis coverieS to the government officials. In his book he alleged that Great Britain was actually helping to feed countries supplies which eventually reached Germany.
 In his youth Le Queux studied art in Paris. but forsook the Quarter Latin to make a pedestrian trip through France and Germany. He then became g. newspaper writer and correspondent. and in 1891. was made a. sub-editor on the London Globe. At about this time he published his first novels, Guilty Bonds" and Strange
 
 abandoned Journalism to devote his entire time to writing fiction, and since then he has published a, score of more novels which have won a multitude of readers in England and America- He has travelled much in Africa Asia and Europe, and has served as a secret agent of the Brit .ish government. His observations in Germany convinced him many years ago that the kaiser's government was preparing for a great war. but his warnings, like those of others, had little effect in England
 MT. L4e Queux, in his latest book, expressed the belief that Germany would attempt an invasion of Eng land on g. large scale, and added: ..And we must never forget that, if they ever get the chance, their atro- cious treatment of the British popu4 lation will be a thousand times worse than anything they have done in France and Belgium
 For more than fifteen years MT. sL4e Queux has been writing books and articles dealing with the German spy peril and the probability of war with Germany and he is now in the posi- ton of one who can say, 'I told you soI''

GOVERNMENT TO BACK
UP SECRETARY M'ADOO
In Legal Fight Precipitated by the
Riggs National Bank.

Washington, April 13-Developments
today indicate that the government in
tends to do it's utmost to back up
Secretary McAdoo of the treasury and
Comptroller of the Currency Williams
in the legal fight precipitated by the
Riggs National bank, complainant in
equity proceedings to enjoin these off,
Gals from alleged attempts to drive
that institution out of business
through systematic and long-continued
persecution.
Attorney General Gregory announced
tonight that the department Of Justice
had employed Louis . Bra ndeis of
state commerce commission in the five
per cent. cases, to defend Messrs.
Williams and McAdoo In the injunction
proceedings. It became known also
that Jesse c. Adkins, former assistant
attorney general, who took a part in
solution suit under the antitrust act
against the New Haven railroad, also
had been retained in this case.
Mr.. Brandeis and Mr.. Adkins were
in conference early today with Mr..
Williams and later with the ATTORNEY
general. Later the attorney general
had another talk with Mr.. Brandeis
and with United States District Attor-
7ey Laskey.
Officials declined to say whether the
government at this time contempla tes
any affirmative proceedings in addi-
ton to the defense Of Mr. McAdoo and
Mr.. Williams in the injunction case.
1t was denied. however, that the bu-
reau of investigation of the depart
ment of Justice had undertaken any
investigation of affairs of the Riggs
bank. The services Of this bureau are
frequently called upon when the treas
ury department feels that 1t has
ground for other than civil proceed
ings.

gateways into Hungary still remain
barred despite the tremendous ham
mering by the Russian forces, and as
the Besldd pass is the less important
of the two strategically, a further ad-
vance into Hungary hangs upon the
possession of Uzsok pass, where the

Gated by the half-hearted actions re-

REQUEST FOR REPAIR OF
kRONPP!NZ WILHELM
Captain Sends Note to Collector Ham
ilton Of Newport News.

Newport ews. Va. April 1s.-Lieu-
tenant Captain Thierfelder, command
err of the German converted cruiser
Kronprinz Wilhelm, delivered to Col
lector of Customs Hamilton late to-
day formal request for time to repair
his ship in this port. The letters were
treasury and their contents not di-
Vulged.
While it is understood the German
commander asked for three weeks as
a maximum, he stated he would make
every effort to complete temporary re-
pairs and leave port before that time.
His request related only to temporary
repairs, as a thorough overhauling of
the Wilhelm would require months.
Captain Thierfelder did not request
coal or provisions, explaining he would
do this when the Washington GOV
eminent has notified him how long
he may remain in neutral waters.
1t is understood his request included
a petition for permission to go into
drydock Immediately. Until this is
granted, the merchant raider must re-
main at anchor in the James river
prtnz Wilhelm urged that action re-
garding his ship be expedited and in
this connection asked the state de-
partment through the German embassy
to have the naval board make an ex-
animation at once.
While opinion prevails here that the
Wilhelm will intern, Captain Their
fielder insists he must return to the
high seas.
1--WE must get out" he said again
today. I'VE got in and we can get
out. The fact that warships of the
enemy are waiting for us must not
deter us. They might sink US, but that
has no fears for me-"
Dr.. Joseph Goldberger, of the pub
lie health service, today examined the
beri-beH patients aboard ship. Few
opportunities have been afforded the
United States health authorities to
study this disease. Dr.. Goldberger
found 95 cases, several have improved
considerably since Sunday. He re-
turned to Washington tonight with his
observations.
One French warship and one British
cruiser were sighted today off the Vir-
sinia capes by pilots who bDught
ships into port The pilots brought
a report they received from merchant
men that the British knew the Kron-
prfnz Wilhelm had steamed north sew
eral weeks ago and that she was be-
lieved to be in American waters. Wig

greater for outgoing than incoming
