Needs Farming Implements.

Farming implements OF all kinds
are greatly needed in France just
now, and the honorary secretary OF
the French relief fund recently re-
ceived a telegram from M. Outlet,
honorary secretary of the Secours
National, asking permission for the
expenditure Of 10000 francs from the
money raised by the fund for the pur-
chase of agricultural implements, ur-
gently required for the purpose OF
getting in the harvest in the invaded
districts of France. The necessary
permission was Immediately given.
and the French relief fund authori-
ties, knowing that further supplies OF
these implements are badly required,
make a special appeal to manufactur-
ers OF agricultural implements in
Great Britain who may not have con-
tributed already to the fund to make
donations in kind.

Machine Stays by Wireless.

An electrical machine invented by
a st. Paul man may be used by Ger.
many in killing enemies with wireless,
according to st. Paul dispatch to the
Philadelphia Record. The machine
was first developed to kill rabbits in
North Dakota. Charles f. Billows,
aided by electricians, perfected the
machine, which flashed rabbits and
dogs to death at a distance OF 107
feet. Electricity for experiments was
obtained from a Thomas street trolley
wire.
When the present war broke out the
inventor realized it's possibilities. Eng
lish and French officers were sounded
az to its availability, but they refused
The machine then was turned over tC
Germany, where II was accepted fol
experimentation.
II believe IL was used I'm the present
Russian campaign" said Billows. "The
possibilities Of the machine are un
limited. With large voltage there is
no reason why human beings could
not be flashed to death at long dis
tances. / believe Russian powder sta
tions were set off by our machine"

Washington-Great Britain's answer
to reports widely circulated in this
country that she has been interfering
with legitimate trade of the United
States with neutral European nations
for the benefit of her own exporters.
is given IL a note handed to Ambassa-
dor Page at London by Sir Edward
Gray, the foreign minister. and made
public at Washington Saturday by the
state department. Data and figures
arc quoted at length to prove that
where British exports and re-exports
have increased. the growth of similar
trade from the United States has been
many times as large. while In many
cases there have been vast increases
OF American exports compared with
decreases in those from the United
Kingdom.
The note. which is In response to
the British ambassadors report OF a
conference at the state department to
the unfavorable impression created In
the United States by reports OF in
creases In British trade with northern
European countries since the war be-
gan, suggests also that statements con-
corning Great Britain's policy have
been inspired by German agents.
Aug 13 is the date OF the document.
