met crucial emergencies by ingenious, not
to say startling. inventions.
The apperent deadlock on the western
frontier has presented a perplexing situa-
ton. For months the armies have fought
battles more sanguinary than Waterloo
without making progress except in terms
of yards Trench warfare has been re-
sponsible for this.
To make the trench less secure for the
enemy Is an object which each OF the bel
ligerents is striving TO accomplish A
step in this direction is found in the work
of British inventor who has developed
n wheeled body shield that affords i'm
munity from rife bullets and shrapnel
when advancing upon fortified positions
The body OF this is constructed of tenn
pered steel plates, the front so rounded
and tempered that bullets strike the sur
face at an angle and glance on without
doing harm. The rear Is open, while the
Interior is just large enough to accom-
modate one soldier, who is propelled for

Der OF great nets, each approximately 600
feet long. moored end TO end by means Of
buoys and anchors.
The net across the Narrows has been
practical means of defense because there
Is little tide in the eastern Mediterranean
to disturb IL. This condition Is not true
in the waters about England, where
different scheme has been used BY the
British admiralty with remarkable re-
suits. Here. IL is claimed, the subma-
rines are caught by literally SEEMING
them The nets used for this are made
in lengths OF about 10 feet with heavy
iron wire. They are usually about q
feet in width and or 10 feet mesh. When
in use they are stretched between the
bows OF two oil-burning destroyers and
buoyed by means of large blocks of wood
attached TO the binding cables along the
top. When an enemy submarine Is sight

vessel and moor the net directly In the
path il is pursuing.
The rough condition of the water in
the North Sea greatly restricts the range
Of a periscope, making it effective for
a distance OF only about q mile. This
permits the destroyers to set the trap,

suit Is that the submersiole proceeds. ig-

Counsel for Rockefeller.

New York, Oct. 3-Counsel for the
accused millionaire present and former
directors Of the New Haven Railway to-
day expressed satisfaction with the tes-
timony so far of Charles S. Mellen at the
conspiracy trial in the United States
District Court and intimated that the
cross-examination of Mellen by r. v.

Teller contrary to expectation. would be
a very short proceeding.
When Mellen took the stand three days
ago 1t was predicted that Lindabury's
cross-examination would be sensational
Mellen's testimony. however, has been so
tame that Lindabury is authority for the
statement that the cross-grilling OF the
former president Of the New Haven will
