SAYS HYPNOTISM is EASY
Professor Muensterberg Declares He
Can Bring Anybody He Ever Met
Under Complete Subsection.

Prof. Hugo Muensterberg, the Har.
ward psychologist, says he can hypno-
tie anybody he ever met, according
to a Cambridge (Mass.) dispatch to
the New York Evening Telegram. He
knows Kaiser Wilhelm very well, and
said he would not except the kaiser.
The Harvard summer school students
were told how easy it is to hypnotize
anybody, almost as easy as rolling
off a log" The professor predicted a
great field in the future for the expert
in mind control. He said:
"Hypnotism presents a vast field for
the expert. 1t is so easy to produce
do it on others, but it Is exceedingly
dangerous when thoughtlessly or ig-
norantly used. 1t is simply a case of
increasing the suggestibility of the
mind, and it can be used in medicine
to cure the morphine fiend, the alco-
desires. Often only a slight hypnosis
is necessary to effect a cure for nerv-
GUS disorders.
Medicine, equally with law, is to
be the food for the psychologist of the
future. Every mental trait can be
measured exactly by almost perfect
standards. The old methods are OBJ
-solete and the whole science Of dag.

GOOD EFFECTS OF TROUBLE
World May Be Traced to Those
PuanaciousIy inclined.

Most of US love trouble-that is,
remain cOntentedly out of trouble for
any length of time, it seems. And if
you doubt the statement, all you have
to do Is to remember the numerous in
stances when you were getting along
all right, and then deliberately 'butted
into" something that was not your af-
fair.
Take the matter of politics, if you
please. Half of the political troubles
we read about are unnecessary. That
is to say, a lot Of the people mixed up
In politics are so mixed for no pur-
pose in this world save that they may
make trouble for themselves or some
body else. For it really makes little
difference to the average man who is
elected indeed the average man takes
an interest in politics not because he
thinks by doing so he can best serve
the public, but because he wants a
fight.
OF course all of US like to flatter our
selves that we are doing something for
the nation or the country or a group
of people. But the truth is most of
us are doing nothing Of the kind.
But, did you know that most of the
good that has so far resulted to the
world has come from the troublemak-
ers, and not from the peacemakers?-

1t now has been learned definitely
that the Germans were forced to re-

three weeks ago to meet the new An

remaining men,.
Morale Of Germans Shattered.
IN February they had been told they
were to capture Verdun. At the end of
July they we're told 1t would be sufti-
cient to simply dominate the situation
there. But when they had been re-
duced in numbers to merely a defen-
sive garrison after nearly seven
months OF fighting their morale was SO
shattered hat groups of prisoners
have been surrendering, some Of them
going through Verdun singing THE
Marseillaise," French officers declare.
The seventh and last great German
massed attack was made on both
banks of the Meuse on July 10. The
French checked this blow Immediately
and took the offensive. Ever since
that time they have retained the I'M
tiative, capturing in their operations
more than 10000 prisoners, a score
Of cannon and q hundred machine
guns.
For Final Desperate Struggle.
Fighting on the west bank of the
Mouse has practically ceased. Hill 80"

than other similar roofing, because it is made
of the very best quality roofing felt, thoroughly
saturated with the correct blend of soft asphalts,
and coated with a blend of harder asphalts.
This outer coating keeps the inner saturation
soft, and prevents the drying out process SO
destructive to the ordinary roof.
The blend of asphalts used by THE General"
is the result of long experience. 1t produces
a roofing more pliable than those which have
less saturation, and which are, therefore,
harder and drier.
At each of the Generals big mills, expert
chemists are constantly employed to refine,
test and blend the asphalts used; also to expert
ment for possible improvements. Their constant
endeavor is to make the best roofing still better.

Lone-Bridge Is Being Con-

Quebec, Que, Sept. 12.-The new
central span of the Quebec bridge,
the largest cantilever suspension In
the world, collapsed and fell into the
st. Lawrence river while being hoisted
into place with the loss Of rs lives.
The bridge was being constructed
at a cost of $4,000, 900 in order to
shorten the railway journey from Hal
flax to the Canadian Northwest by
200 miles.
The bridge stands on the site of the
structure which collapsed On August
90, 1907, with a loss of 70 lives.
The central span which fell weighs
more than 5000 tons and is $40 feet
long.
Ninety Men Fall Into River.
Observers said that the span broke
in two places, one of the corners first
appearing to give way, followed al
most Immediately by a break In the
center.
The collapse occurred when the span
was about Is feet in the air. Ninety
men were on the structure when 1t fell.
Boats from among the hundreds Of
spectators craft we're rushed to the
spot where the span disappeared. The
fallen structure sank 200 feet to the
bottom Of the river and engineers *
pressed doubts as to whether it would
ever be raised.
The span had been constructed on
pontoons a few miles east of the
bridge and was towed into position
under the gap left in the anchor arms
Of the structure.
