VALUE OF WIRELESS
IN WAR BEING PROVED
Expert Says 1t Is Specially Useful in
Concentrating Troops Operating
in Vast Territory.
BY EDOCARD Brandy.


Paris, Aug Wireless telegraphy
is of great use in war for example
in ordering the concentra ton of troops
operating over a vast extent of terri
tory. especially II such troops are
separated by intervention of the en-
emy's forces.
Cavalry corps. notably. should be
equipped with transportahIe wireless
posts. The Germans are already max
ing this use of wireless in Belgium
and Northern France.
Dirigibles and aeroplanes all should
have radio Geographic apparatus. They
could send messages, but. of course,
could not receive because of the noise
of the motor Submarines can use
wireless, but only when the antennae
are above water.
1t is possible to explode mines or
bombs at long distances by wireless
projection of electricity, but only after
the object to be destroyed. such as a
bridge mine, or fertilization. has been
prepared to receive the current. Such
preparation would mean the installa-
tion of some sort of mechanism espe-
cially designed. The difficulties in the
way are obvious. 1t is possible also
to maaeuve- torpedo boat subma rines
at distance by wireless electric cur
rents. but extremely risky, because
of the possible interference CT atmos-
pheric accidents. This probably is the
reason it has not been done thus far

ALL CHURCHES SHOULD
ADVERTISE, HE AYERS
Clergyman Says Lesson Is to Be
Learned from Commercial World
If wing Souls.

Baltimore. Aug. In an article
in the late of the Baltimore
Lutheran. tsistant editor Rev. w
A. Poovey. u. .crs the question, Should
the Church Advertiser in a way that
leaves no doubt as to his convictions in
the matter.
His viewpoint is sane and practical
and the arguments he advances to- show
the value and necessity for bringing the
church before the public through adj
vertising are strong and well pointed.
His article, in part. Is as follows:
Business men know that it pays to
advertise. and the one who does the
most of II. as a rule. reaps the greatest
rewards of his labor. We would be the
last to put Christ's Church on a level
with a worldly organization, but il ap-
pears taht the church can learn much
to her own good from the prudence of
business men. And the church is in
business-the most important one in
the world-that of saving souls, and il
must. in order to carry on this business
of saving souls successfully. make known
what 1t ha, and what it is doing as
saving agency.
There is a certain type of advertis-
ing which the church has no right to
use; that is the cheap. sensational method
such as the theater and circus use In
announcing to the public the sensations
OF the season. To make use of such
aVertising would be a detriment rather
than a help to the church of Christ"

PHYSICIANS To DISCUSS
HAY fever TREATMENT
New York Medical Men Will Give Re-
suits of Their Investigations
at Meeting.

New York, Aug. AT the meet
ing of the United States Hay Fever
Association to be held at Maple
wood. n. H., on Friday after
noon. September 3, two New York ply
sicians who have given particular study
to the immunization OF hay fever cases
will present the results of their investi-
CATION. DR.. Seymour Oppenheimer and
Dr. Mark ]. Gottlieb will tell of their
work in searching for a substance that
would produce immunity to those who
have suffered from hay fever. The sub
1ect of the presentation will be-: Some
general remarks on the subject OF polli-
nosis ebay fever, with particular refer
ence to its treatment by active immuniza-
ton and results, with a demonstration
of the methods employed in determin-
ing pollen anaphylaxLs-
In a recent issue Of the New York
Medical Journal the results OF the work
of these two physicians were described
After discussing the causes and symp-
toms of hay fever the investigators re-
marked:
Hay fever is due, as previously
stated, to a sensitiZation OF an in
dividual by the conveyance of pollen
There must be, at the time of sensi-
tization, an abrasion of the mucous
membrance so as to make parental alb
sorption possible. In all Likelihood
there exists in the patient an indi-
vidual susceptibility to this particular
disease, which seems to have some re-
lation to heredity--for this and other
allied ailments are frequent in given
families"
Next they describe the method of
finding just what peculiar pollen at
fects a given individual. In view or
known facts concerning the disease
and deductions based upon their
theory of an effective method of treat
ing the ailment, the physicians con-
cluded that 1t should be possible to en-
ploy one of four methods-which they
as follows:
l. By injecting a dose Of pollen extract
lust before the hay fever time and re-
peating the procedure in twenty to thirty
days.
2. BY injecting a large quantity OF i'm
mune serum during the attack
3. BY injecting very small amounts of
pollen extract at intervals Of ten days
or less, so that only minute quantities
of anaphylatoxin are formed and the
patients tolerance is raised.
(Anaphylatoxin Is not-the name OF
medicine or remedy, but 1t is the term
applied TO whatever substance produces
a condition of anaphylaxis-which means
a condition of increased susceptibility to
an irfection0
T. BY injecting very small doses of ana
phylatoxin made in the laboratory to
produce the same results as in method

Mystery Surrounds Bill for Treatment
To Prevent Dread of Great Bodily Harm d

New Castle. Pa, Aug. why did j
y. Falls, a wealthy retired business man
of this city, who died recently, promise
to pay $4,000 to DR.. Henry F. A. Meisse
for treatment and suggestion to prevent
dread of bodily harm" This is the ques-
ton that is being asked on all sides to-
day and the city is agog with interest
The police are investigating the case
and interesting developments are expect
ed to follow.
Falls. who was widely known for his
philanthropic deeds, died seven months
ago leaving an estate valued at $500 900.
A claim for $4,000 was filed against the
estate by DR. Meissel. a prominent ply
stefan. who exhibits a note signed by
Falls in 1904 agreeing to pay the physi-
clan $50 with accrued interest after
death.
1t is alleged by the physician that
Falls promised to pay him $4,000 in all
in return for treatment and suggestion
to prevent dread of bodily harm"
Falls widow and his friends and rela-
tives have tried vainly to discover the
cause of his great fear.

GERMANS TORPEDO 8 VESSELS.
Sink Six English and Two Neutral
Boats.

London. Aug. six English fishing
boats and two neutral vessels have fall
len victims to German submarines within
the last ten hours. The fishing boats
were sunk this morning. The neutral
ships, the Danish schooner Hansemil and
the Norwegian steamer Vendus. were set
on fire in the North sea last night.
The crews of the fishing boats were
rescued and landed few hours after the
smacks were sunk. The crew of the
Hansemil was put aboard the Danish
ship Tyr. bound for Denmark. The fate
of the Vendus' crew is unknown That
ship was passed by the Swedish steamer
Osterland, but no small boats or signs
of life were seen.

Of Falls. was beaten to death by thugs
one night and the mystery of his death
has never been solved.
Did Falls know the identity of the
man or men who murdered his friend ?
Was he afraid to tell the authorities
what he knew lest he himself be killed
These and other questions have been fly
ing back and forth ever since DR. Meis-
sci filed his claim against the Falls es-
tate for the unusual services alleged to
have been rendered. So far not the
slightest clue has been unearthed by the
police that would throw light on the
mystery.
At the time that Bevins was killed
Falls was a councilman. It was discov-
cred after that murder that $780, 900 of city
funds supposed to be in Bevins' hands
was missing. What became of this
money is another mystery that was
never solved.
Mrs. Falls is trying to break her hus-
bands will because he left her only the
$4,000 mansion where she lives and an
automobile. She denies that her hus-
band ever agreed to pay Dr. Meissel $s0,-
600 for the purpose alleged by the ply

Il hope the Yankees will intervene in

would be the undoing of the conglomera-

the Panama Canal, Hawaiian Islands
and possibly San Francisco, Los Angeles
and Florida.
Let us look at the matter in its true
light. II Great Britain wins the present
war she will follow it up by taking pos
session of the Panama Canal for it is
the opinion of European statesmen and
diplomats that that war is for the mas
terry of the seas. If Germany wins she
will add the Panama Canal to her pos
sessions within a short time. On study
ing the matter carefully, We will see that
the United States cannot come into Mex

had landed in Orizaba. San Francisco
and the defenses of the Panama Canal
and their shining Babylon they call New
York would be swept by the deadly fire
of the Japanese, English and French ma

Albany, n. Y. Aug. Minutes of the

| lutionary leaders held in Mexico City
| to discuss the Mexican note of President
Wilson were given to the Washington
Herald correspondent today by Arthuy
j. Baldwin, a delegate to the constitu-
tionali5t convention.
The record of this session was sent
to Mr.. Baldwin by a personal frienu.
an American now residing in Mexico
City. AS expected. the revolutionists are
violent against any proposals for United
States Intervention, and are insulting in
their references to the American people
and President Wilson.
Mr.. Baldwin is the law partner of John
W. Griggs, of New Jersey. and formerly
Attorney Geneal of the United States.
He vouches for the authenticity of the
record. The revolutionists write as fol-
lows:
'Vuevada, who was vice president of
Mexico presided at the secret session.
Sot y CANA was the principal speaker.
He characterized the American note as
the work of clown who has never
been able to cope with any condition"
He referred to the United States as a
'conglomeration of Adventures"
The report of his speech contains the
following quotations:
Work of CientihcOs.
THE American note is the work of
the cientificos and the .readtionaries who
have sold their properties to the mag
mates of the United States, who are in
fluential in the trusts and therefore in
politics. These influential Americans,
who have purchased properties from the
Porforitas, Huestistas. Clericals and
Cientificos, have managed to prevail upon
President Wilson to sign that note,
which has not the usual tone of the
White House.
THE American agent, Duval West,
when he was in the South, intimated
that Gen. Carranza had offered Silli-
man and himself several million pesos
and very productive concessions IL they
would make a report to the President
favorable to the Carranzistas.
Gen. Zapata and the indomitable
Surlanos refused to give West a sin
gle cent, so he became angry with the
Zapatistas and allied himself with the
bandit foreigners who hypo-
critically call themselves the Interna-
tional Benevolent Society

tween Duval West and the adventurous
Jews Of the International Committee
