The simple idea that makes the in
ventor successful is illustrated by a
new vest-pocket screwdriver capable
of fitting. screws of any size. 1t is
nothing but disk of metal about the
size of a large coin. The edge Of the
disk is put into the slot Of screw
like the blade of an ordinary screw
driver. One edge is thin, for small
screws, and another is thick, with
graduated thickness between the two
extremes for the purpose OF having
an edge that will fit any slot.
A hole in the middle OF the disk
gives a chance to slip in nail OF
pocketknife, or anything else handy
to be used as lever on tight screws

On the Italian Frontier, April S.
Inc warships of the Italian fleet de-
parted suddenly on Monday from the
Mediterranean naval stations at Spe-
zia, Gaeta and Maddalena Island. They
concentrated at Augusta. Sicily, and
at Taranto. They are thus within a
lew hours of the Adriatic.
The departure of these warships
caused a profound impression. partic-
uiarly at SpeZia, where until last
Sunday the harbor was crowded with
dreadnaughts, cruisers and torpedo
boat destroyers. while the town was
filled with officers and sailors.
Italy now has the finest fleet in her
history. 1t is headed by several new
dreadnoughts, of which the most for
midable is the Conte de Cavour,
which corresponds in the Italian navy
to Great Britain's Queen Elizabeth.
The future movements of the fleet
are veiled with absolute secrecy. 1t
is asserted that only the King and
one or two of the highest government
officials are acquainted with the plans
decided upon.
London.-A furious assault on the
German positions between the Meuse
and the Moselle is being made by the
French in continuation of their Of
fensive movement The official com
munications from Berlin mentions at
tack after attack, and says these on
slaughts were repulsed with "extraor-
dinarily heavy" losses for the French.
The official statement from Paris
gives few details of the fighting, al
though it is claimed that ground was
gained in some instances.
The Berlin statement says the Ger
mans abandoned the village of Drei
Gretchen, which they had captured
from the Belgians, on account OF the
fire from heavy artillery, to which it
was subjected.
Newport News, Va, April s.-Com
mander Thierichens of the German
auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich
asked the United States government,
through port authorities, to intern his
ship and crew.
Up to the last moment the German
skipper kept up the appearance Of
being ready for a dash to sea, and.
when the time for decision finally
came, he explained that failure of Eek
pected relief to arrive had made 1t
necessary to intern rather than de
liver crew and ship to fruitless and
certain destruction by British and
French warships waiting off the Vir-
ginia capes."
