A WAR WITHOUT INVENTION
Nine months of war has not added
a single revolutionary implement or
maneuver to the fighting game in
Europe. America in her Civil war
gave the world the modern iron-clad
and the superior use of cavalry. The
aeroplane, the motor, the high power
gun, defensive barbed-wire, the sub
marine, the wireless and the repeating
smaIl-arm were all the devices and in
ventions of peace They have not
come through war. Even the latest
Device which is probably more novel
than effective, the asphyxiating bomb:
loaded with gases. is an adaptation OF
the ancient Chinese stink-pot. The
explanation of the dearth of inven-
ton in the European conflict is not to
be found in the difference between
European scientists and American.
Edison is American, hut Roentgen was
German, and Marconi Italian. The
explanation probably is hidden away
in the fact that the science of war is
going to seed. Strategy seems to be
gone. Daring appears to be no longer
a determining element. War has re-
solved itself into trial of strength
through the impact of massed men in
offense, and deep ditch in defense

THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER.

Ten years ago, it was found that
tumors could be transplanted in mice
Th1s discovery revolutioniZed the
study of cancer. Great expectations
were aroused and it was believed it
was only a question of time until the
problem of the cause and cure of ma
lignant disease would be solved. That
was a decade ago and some authori-
ties believe that we are no nearer the
facts today than we were then. In
the case of cancer, any expectation of
single discovery solving the problem
is more and more coming to be recog-
MED as unwarranted. Cancer is not a
single definite disease like appendi-
citiS. 1t is rather a name which has
been given to a group of entirely dis
tinct diseases, which are different in
their history, origin, mode of treat
ment and prospect of cure, although
they are all forms of new and lawless
cell growth. For this reason. says the
Journal of the American Medical As
ISOLATION, we are not likely to see any
sudden and sensational advance toward
the knowledge of a single cause and
cure of cancer. 1t seems now more
likely that a steady reduction in the
mortality from cancer will come about
through the operation of many differ
ent factors. OF chief Importance will
be the application in many directions
of a better knowledge of the condi-
lions under which cancer arises. that
is to say, better knowledge of the
immediate rather than the remote
causes of the disease. Chief among
these is irritation In the removal of
all sources of chronic Irritation and in
prompt attention to conditions which

MURDER IN MEXICO Is MURDER

Whenever an American citizen is
slain in Mexico the excuse is gllbly
given and apparently as glibly accept
ed at Washington that his murder was
the work of Mexican bandits. But
isn't it reasonable to urge that 1T is
as incumbent upon this country to
protect it's citizens from Mexican ban
dts of murderous bent as it is to pro-
tect them from the assaults of soldiers
or officers of any of the several rae
tions now doing military business in
Mexico AS matter of fact, the line
of demarcation between a Mexican
bandit and many of the leaders who
claim to be in authority here and
there in Mexico is such fine one as
to be almost indistinguishable.

Gentlemen: Would you care to

tachment adapted to be used in con-
nection with a walking plow?
THE object of the invention Is to
provide a pillow with an adjustment

pillow is carried through the field to
operate fan in front of the face of
the person guiding the pillow.
THE invention is of simple and
durable construction, is the property
of a client of ours, and is protected
by a pending U. S. application. If in
terested we shall be pleased to sub
nit a specification and drawings
The next great invention should be

In brief, Germany can doubt

SUMMARY OF PRESENT POS
TURE OF THE WAR

The announcement that Ger
many has commandeered ali me-
tallic supplies or articles useful
in the manufacture of munitions,
coupled with the previous expro-
priation of all the food-stuffs in
the empire, marks the second
stage in the great war, but a
stage different, we should say,
from the common Interpretation
put upon that step. 1t scarcely
means that there is any percepti-
BILE impoverishment of food sup
plies as yet, but seems to have an
even more ominous significance.
1t more probably means that Ger
many is inuring itself to a pro-
longed and extreme conflict on
an endurance basis and is begin
ming even this early to prepare
for an ultimate period of priva-
ton and hardship. The allies
expect to starve Germany out,
but Germany expects to wear the
allies out. If it had not seemed
so before, it is evident now that
Europe has settled down to war
of determination, and that there
is now about to he unfolded to
the eyes of this generation a
spectacle more narrowing than
could reasonably have been for, =
seen as possible in the process of
hostilities between civilized ma
tons.
The fact that both belligerent
groups are about equally vulner-
able, apart from the results of
military operations, is what in
duces each group to expect to dc :
rive decisive advantage in being
able to outlast the other. Eng
land, as is we'll known, is almost
entirely dependent on other conn.
tries for the necessaries of life,
and is even more dependent or
them for industrial sustenance
The As, 900, 900 people there are
either engaged in manufacture,
for foreign markets or in minis
tering to those who are engaged
in those enterprises. For thu
period of the war the productive
capacity of these 100000 PEG
pie is not only suspended, virtu
ally, but they must obtain from
abroad at exorbitant prices al
they consume. England has pro
vided for the expense of the wa
up to July l by loans aggree atir {
81, $50, 900, 900, or at the rate, q,
stated by the prime minister, O.
about SIS, 900, 900 a day. This sun
can probably be doubled for fl
nancial losses to the nation Incl
denial to the war. At a monetary
cost of three and a half billions
year, and with its productiv,
energies meanwhile totally para
lyzed, it can easily be seen how
vulnerable England is, and why
Germany feels that the weapon
of exhaustion is two-edget
sword.
No outsider knows just wha
the conditions in Germany are
because in addition to the favor
able appearance given to all thu
news sent out, the opposition
censorship must also be reckone {
