BARBED WIRE
AND RUMBLING GUNS
By Wilbur S. Forrest.

LONDON, Oct. S.-(By Mail)-
The part barbed wire plays in the
war is graphically portrayed in letters
from the front just before the bat
tie of September 25, when the allies
after an almost continuous lombard
ment of three days made their first
appreciable advance since the bat
tie of the Marne.
To prepare for the infantry advance
at only three points it was necessary
to expend thousands of tons OF
shrapnel and high explosive projec-
tiles along practically the whole line
from the sea to the Vosges. Thus
We're the Germans kept in ignorance Of
what particular sections were to be at
tackled.
''This is the third day of the bonn
bardment," says one correspondent

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Oct, 23.-
Three state and five congressional
elections to be held November 2, are
looked to here by national committee
men here to furnish an indication OF
the present political sentiment of the
country.
Perhaps the most closely watched

him is Former Congressman Samuel

BLAMES EUROPEAN
WAR ON TELEGRAPH

LONDON, Oct, pa new "cause"
of the European war. and one of the
most original yet given, has been
propounded by Lord Bryce, former
British ambassador at Washington.
who attributes the conflict to the in
vention Of the telegraph. In an adj
dress before the British Academy,
Lord Bryce thus. put the blame on
telegraphy:
In the ~ fatal days between July
% and Augusta, last year, there was
no time for reflection. Telegrams
between seven capitals flew hither and
thither like swift arrows crossing one
another, and it would have needed a
mind of more than human amplitude
and energy to grasp and corelate all
the issues involved and to forsee the
results that would follow the various
lines of action possible in a game so
complicated.
Even the intellect of Caesar or
a Bonaparte would have been un-
equal to the task.
Here the telegraph has worked for
evil. Had the communications passed
by written dispatches as they would
have done eighty years ago. it is prob
able that war might have been avoid

Because the Germans know quite
well the wire cutting with shrapnel

more miles of wire must be demolished
than are actually required for the
attack.
Throughout today the batteries
have been cutting wide stretches OF
wire, while the 'heavies' have been

column of thick dust that hung heav-

visualize the needs of all nations.
CHICAGO, Oct, 23.--Broad- minded
men of great mental attainments
whose lives havg been devoted to
the betterment Of humanity, are tho
men Jane Addams would have upon
the worlds peace commission in place
Of diplomats and international law
yers.
Miss Adams, whose chief work for
the last year has been the promul-
CATION of European peace through per-
sonal interviews with the warning
governments heads, conferences with
President Wilson and work at the In
ternational Peace Congress in San
Francisco outlined for the United
Press her vision Of the body of men
which she hopes will some day rule
supreme over the destiny of nations.
Her opinion. she said, also is the
general opinion in Europe. Miss
Adams said
1--WE must have men whose minds
are trained to visualize not only the
needs of Germany or America but the
needs nf ali nations
"Men like Marconi, and others
whose entire lives have been devoted
to benefitting humanity, are the ones
best fitted to consider problems of
international protent."
Miss Adams then referred to the
diplomats and continued:
when universal peace is attained,
it will not bethrough the medium of
men whose lives have been devoted
to professional war making.
"The idea behind the organization Of
the commission recently appointed by
Secretary Daniels to aid the army and
navy in problems Of national defense
could be applied to the organization
Of worlds peace commission.
"The geniuses Of every country. the
scientists and men Of commercial at
tainments, could be selected and to
them delegated the power of the set
tlement of international disputes.
These men would be broad enough to
grasp the needs Of every nation and
unselfish enough to act in the interests
of all peoples.
Future generations would bene-
fit by the work of such a body as
this. The high ideals and nobleness
cf purpose concentrated in the COM
mission would be reflected through
out the world.
Reports of my recent utterances
regarding diplomacy and diplomats
have been misinterpreted. 1t is not
my intention to slam these govern
ment agents. But it is my firm be-
lief that the old days of secret diplo-
matte conferences with each govern
ment seeking through its representa-
tives to gain selfish ends should come
to an end to be replaced by single
ness of purpose to benefit all man
kind through universal peace"
