1t is now known that had Arthur
Plants family or friends been able to
locate him before. he fired the shot
that ended his life in the Continental
Hotel in Washington, Thursday af-
ttrnoon, they would have given him
information which probably would
have prevented his untimely death.
At l o'clock Thursday afternoon in
formation came to the Plant Offices
by long distance telephone from New
York that an an extremely large tran
Saction in war materials in which
Plant had been promised an interest
lad finally been arranged, and that
Flant's share from the deal would
be so great as to place him in posi-
ton to meet his creditors.
Eugene Aram, Yorkshire, Eng
land, school teacher, murdered Daniel
Clark in order that he might Sc
cure booty from the latter to satisfy
his thirst for knowledge. According
&c Bulwer, who based one Of his most
interesting novels on the career of
the pedagogue, says a few days af-
ter Arma and his accomplice House
man had killed the shoemaker he re-
ceived intelligence of the death of a
relative who had bequeathed him a
far greater sum than he obtained by

thirty years with Clarke'S blood upon

WONDERS OF WIRELESS

Says Professor PaBin.

New York, Oct. 2. Talking In a
moderate tone from the wireless sta
ton at Arlington, near Washington K
A.Heising,an engineer of the Western
Electric Company, was. heard distinct
ly by an operator at Honolulu, a DIS
lance of 1900. miles. This was stated
in a cable dispatch received by the
local Office of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company from its re-
preventative at Honolulu.
The invention of device which will
prevent static interference with long,
distance wireless communication is
announced by Prof. Michael l. Pupin,
of Columbia University, scientist and
perfecter of electrical appliances.
The application of his device, Prof.
Pupin, said, also will make it possible
to transmit the human voice an un-
limited distance without the slightest
interference from unfavorable cleo
trical conditions.
"There is nothing now," the prof
essor said, "to prevent the transmits
sion of messages by wireless tele-
phone to every part Of the globe. We
may talk to the Antipodes, or, for
that matter, send message COM
pletely around the globe if we like"

GERMANS USING
BINDING GASES.

Fumes which cause instant blind
ness are adding to the horrors OF the
present war. Aviators are dropping
bombs upon sleeping cities, subma-
rines sending ships with their non
combattant passengers to the bottom
Of the sea, asphyXiating gases are
being used to destroy or render help
ess foes. and now fumes are being
discharged which ruin the signt.
These are some of the death deal
ing devices of the twentieth century
in the midst of the great civilization
in the worlds history. and while some
well-meaning people are dissenting
upon the fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man.
Germany has dreamed for years
that she is the head o. modern civil,
lization. 1t must be acknowledged
that while that country has no place
in the sun, il does occupy a conspl-
cious position IL mundane ftfairs. But

THE WAR
IN RUSSIA.

No such clear illumination CT any
great feature of the war has been
made as that comparing the Ger
rnan campaign in 1914-19I5 against
Russia with Napoleon's famous in
vasion of 1872. 1t is absurd to say
that railways and motor trucks have
made any comparison between 1872
and 1915 valueless. And yet the Ger
mans have had great advantage
over the Russians in strategic rail
ways and the accumulation of motor
and tractors through long years Of
preparation. With all that advan-
tagc in their favor they are failing
After more than thirteen months they
are four hundred miles from the goal
that Napoleon made in fewer weeks,
and, according to the reports, are
actually being rolled back at vari-
Gus points. The showing by compar-
ison is greatly in favor OF the Rus
siai OF the present day. He has not
only made splendid retreat, light
ing doggedly and falling. back slowly
but before that retreat begun he adj
!ainistered a tremendous defeat upon
his adversary. Indeed, in the light of
the comparison and in view of the
Developments which have occurred,
the German campaign already has
met with an opposition that makes
failure inevitable. The handwriting
Is slowing more clearly each day on
che strategic blackboard.

10 Paris says the Prince of Wales
rad miraculous escape from death

Strictly accurate details are that
the prince was speeding toward the
front in an automobile. lie ordered
the driver to pull up at the foot of
d knoll, which the prince mounted and
watched the progress of the fighting
through his binoculars.
While he was standing on the hill d
big shell fell on the automobile, ut

the driver to pieces.
Reproached with running into dam
ger, which the heir to the throne must
avoid, the prince replied:

WAR AT CRADLE
OF THE RACE

During the past year the Gazette
has at times called attention to the
fact that the present war is being ex-
tended to the zone occupied by the
first people who appeared upon the
earth. A contemporary in referring to
this says:
Carrying the war into Aslatlc
Turkey, forestalling the Germans In
their ambitions to colonize the dis
tricts now being ravaged by the on
moving arms Of the Britons, the
English have started war at the
tamina and was told ~ Jehova that
has been redolent with the lure OF
antiquity since Abraham stood ont
upon the star-girt plains of Mesopo-
tamia and was tod by Jehova that
his progeny should be as numoerless
as the stars of the skies and that the
land as far as he; could see would be
given him for an. inheritance for his
children, is now in the throes of the
war.
"Those whose vision is directed by
the prophetic chapters of the Bible
are prone to view this movement Of
the greatest war of mankind into the
regions which have been long as sac
red to- the traditions of Babylon and
Assyria, as fulfllment Of prophetic
oracles. Viewed from any angle the
fighting in the Mesopota1pian coun-
try is filled with interest that cannot
attach to the bloody deeds in the less
antique and unromantic regions Of
Europe. The Turk, what shall be-
come of him if driven out of Europe
and subdued in the regions of Asia
over which he has had age-long dom
ination? Within the general scheme
of the campaign in the east lies the
possible liberation oI Palestine and
the salvage of the holy places; the
casting up Of a highway for the return
of Gods chosen people to the land of
their race nativity if the Zionist ele-
ment shall prevail"

OLD.FASHIONED
CLASS MEETING.

Three score years OF more ago the
Gazette on Saturday generally de-
voted it's outside columns (the first
and fourth pages) to matters OF re-
ligious Interest," This feature was
continued long time after the close
of the civil war, but the many sub
sequent stirring events forced this
feature to give place to ether mat
tiers. At times pastors Of city churches
were wont to write articles on BIZ
blical subjects for the Gazette. The
following item brought "reminiscences
of by gone days to the writer.
"rhere was an old-fashioned class
meeting in the chapel Of the Metho-
dist Institute in Richmond this week.
w. Stuart Ashley, convert of the
Doyer's street mission Chinatown,
New York city, and the class leader
of the Metropolitan Temple, Of that
city, conducted the services"
The old-fashioned class meeting
was an interesting feature in the
lives of many of our ancestors. But
the class meeting has, like the
Gazette's religious department, long
since given place to modern items.
The class meeting was for the edifi-
cation of older and more steadrier
members of the church; the present
methods are designed to keep the
younger people in the churches. 1t is
often thought that the old plan never
should have been abandoned, but that
the different conceptions to keep
young people in the company OF church
goers, could have been continued with
cut abolishing the past.
The class meeting was agreat de-
sideratum to many in. the past. Men
and women gathered in houses, par
ticipated in devotional exercises and
helped each other along the road to.
the celestial kingdom by an inter-
change of thought and experience
Such had not the temerity to arise
in churches and attempts to speak
for the edification of. the assembly,
while they felt at home in the small
circle Of their acquaintancea.
A preacher once said in one of the
Alexandria churches that were he
called upon to select genuine dis
ciples he would not pick out the great
names on church rolls, nor philantho-
pists who had built churches, hospi-
tails and poorhouses, but would go In
some congregation and take out
silver-haired women who had reared
families, stood by the side of cof-
fins, battled with poverty. nursed
grandchildren and had risen superior
TO all their troubles. The silvery
hair Of such, he believed, would glis-
ten as diamonds in that better world
1t was this class that found their
spiritual food in the class meeting.
n
