GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT
At WASHINGTON

Great Britain's preliminary reply TO
the American note of protest con-
cerning neutral commerce, while gra-
tifying in the concessions il makes.
has in many respects failed TO satisfy
the United States government, says a
Washington dispatch.
Officials confidently hope that the
second and complete answer from
England will give the specific infor-
nation requested by the United States
and clear up the uncertainties which,
according to the Washington govern
ment, surrounds the commerce of
neutrals.
No Formal Comment.
This disposition on the part of the
Washington administration was re-
Vealed in high official quarters al
though there was no formal comment.
When Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the
British Ambassador, called on
Secretary Bryan to inform him that
the British supplementary note would
not be forthcoming for several days,
the secretary told him that the Amer.
lean government would make no com.
ment In the interim, but would pa.
tiently await the coming of the note.
General disappointment Exists.
Administration officials were un.
willing to discuss the note to any ex.
tent, declaring that it was better to
judge the British attitude when its
complete reply was at hand. General
disappointment was evident I'm many
quarters, however, for while the note
conceded that the principles expressed
by the united States were correct, the
statistics which IL cited were regarded
as an adroit effort to eyade the issue.
The general complaint OF the United
States Is that Great Britain, while
promising redress and while conced-
ing the principles of international law.
does not square the practice of its
fleet with the utterances OF its Foreign
Office. The United States, IT is point
cd out, has endeavored without re.
suit ever since the beginning of the
war to obtain information from Great
Britain as TO the reasons for deten-
tions and has asked for information
as to the general rules governing the
activities of the British feet in con.

APPLY FOR PATENT
ON VALUABLE INVENTION
Device Wi:ich Eliminates Necessity c:
Rewinding Moving Picture
Films

John Z. Robbins, register of the
local U. S. land office, and JOSEPH
O'Byrne, inventor OF the noiseless
typewriter and various other mechani-
cal devices. have applied for a patent
on a new device which they have per
fected which may bring them fortunes.
The purpose of the device is to
eleminate the necessity of rewindine
films for moving pictures after they
have been reflected on the screen. As
there ARE millions of rolls of film
shown every DAY in the United States
aEd as Il IS necessary to rewind a
roll after every production, the value
uf the cevice as a time and labor
saver will be readily seen.
1t is well known that the films are
composed of a series of pictures, and
that they are kept on a spool-like ar
rangement. In passing through the
machine which reproduces the pic
lures on the screen the film passes
from one spool to another. 1t un-
winds from one and winds on the 9TH
ther. On the spool ready for use the
first picture must, of course, be on the
outside. When it winds on the sec
ond spool the first picture is at the
center of the spool, and the last one
produced is on the outside. Before
this film is ready to be used again
it must be re-wound on a third spool
which will bring the first picture again
to the outside.
BY the device which Messrs. Rob-
bins and O'Byrne have perfected the
nlm Is unwound from the inside in
stead of the outside. This may be
understood by unwinding a bolt of
ribbon from the inside. The film pass
es through the machine and is wound
on another spool in the same man.
ner as usual and is ready for i'm.
mediate use.
The unwinding from the center is
accomplished by means of q Hexihlo
core OF simple construction. The de-
vice mas been passed upon by a mum.
Der OF local operators and all declare
that there is no doubt of its success
full operation.
With, say a million films in daily
use' and 1t requiring an average of
TWO minutes to rewind each film, the
commercial value of the invention
VIII readily be recognized, and that
all the big film companies will want
1t is certainty.
And besides the saving OF time and
labor there will be a big saving to
the films. as fully three-fourths' of the
breaks in films occur during rewind-
ing.
Mr.. Robbins had been working on n
scheme to eleminate rewindinp for
several years but was never able to
work practical solution. Recently
ne talked over the proposition with
Mr.. OByrne, who is a mechanical
genius, and the latter soon had a do.
vice both practical and simple.
An interesting fact in connection
with the story of the invention is that
when Mr.. O'Byrne was first approach
ed In the matter he declared that IL
could not be done, that it was con-
trary to the laws of mechanics. Mr..
Robbins insisted that there must be
some way and a line of thought was
started which resulted in the inyen-
tiOn.
While Mr.. O'Byrne solved the ques-
ton, he shares equally with Mr.. Rob
bins the credit for 1t, and any emolu-
ments will likewise be shared equally.
