SEES WARS END
BY AUGUST NEXT
General Brussiloff Makes a Predic.
ton. .r

London, Sept. 10.-Gen. Brussil-
off, in an interview with the CORES
pondent of the Daily Chronicle at the
Russian front, predicts the end of
the war by August next.
"The Austro-Hungarian army, as
sailed from all sides," he said, won't
be able to stand much longer before
the horde of enemies who are hurling
themselves against it and preparing
to increase the vigor of their blows.
The intervention Of Roumania is an
event of the first order. I am no
prophet; the future is in Gods hands
But if I had to make a hypothesis,
I should be inclined to think that the
month of August, 1917, might see the
end of our memorable work.
"The present war is one which it is
impossible for the allies to lose, al
though a great deal remains to be
accomplished. A successful result is
already in our hands; the game is al
ready won."

Inventor of the Automatic Sys-
TEN of Fire Arms is
Claimed by Death.
a. AEaeelATEp PRtes1

LONDON. tsov. 24.-Sir Hiram Max
i'm. inventor of the automatic system
of fire arms, died at his home here
early Friday morning.
Sir Hiram Stevens Maxim, Americans
born, was one Of the most famous in
yentors. civil. mechanical and electri-
cal engineers Of Great Britain. He
was most widely known as the In
yentor of the Maxim machine gun,
which makes the recoil of the weapon
serve as the power for reloading, and
which is the weapon largely used in
the European war today.
He was born In Sangerville, Me-,
February 5, 1910, the son Of Isaac
Weston and Harriet 81. Maxim, and re-
cefved only common school education,
but he acquired scientific knowledge
by reading and attending lectures. He
went to England in 1881, and had re-
sided there ever since He was knight
ed by Queen Victoria in 1901
His son, Hiram Percy Maxim, Is a
well known inventor In the United
States, known particularly as the in
ventor Of the Maxim silencer.
For many years Sir Hiram was di-
rector IN the firm of Vickers Sons
and Maxim, but resigned that post in
1911. For more than thirty years he
vented flying machines. In the light Of
the present war, with its numerous
German airship raids on England, it is
remarkably interesting to recall that
eight years ago Sir Hiram took the
British nation to task for its small
interest In aeronautics, and pointed out
then, at time when aeroplanes were
in their infancy, that England was in
grave danger of bombardment by air
ships.

SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 24.--Within
the last five months the most complete
medical organization known to tho
the United States army has been de-
veloped to care for the 10000 state
and regular troops stationed at bor-
der points and in Mexico.
The system includes Ave base hos
pitals, located at strategic points in
the long stretch Of border territory;
eight camp hospitals at other points
where troops are stationed, canton
ment hospital at Columbus, N. M, to
serve the force on duty In Mexico,
and twenty-six ambulance companies
and forty-one field hospitals distrib
auted among troops In the field.
The base and camp hospitals afford
accommodation for total OF 1900
patients and have medical and sur
gical facilities, equal to the finest
hospitals. Not more than half the
beds have been occupied at any one
time since the nations militia
strength was called into the federal
service, but the room is available in
case OF need.
Back of this array Is the potential
organization a hospital train of ten
Pullman cars, with capacity of ESQ
patients, has been placed In use to
transport patients from the camp to
the base hospitals and from base hos
pita1s to general military hospitals In
various parts or the country. should
a campaign in Mexico be undertaken.
These larger institutions are the Wal
ter Reed hospital at Washington, d.

pital at Hot Springs. Ark, and the

About 1900 beds are vacant In the
three hospitals at the present time.

have been selected for transformation
into general hospitals in case OF
emergency. This list includes Fort

AS result OF the scientific meth
DDS adopted by the medical corps and
a the steps taken to insure absolute
sanitation IN border camps, the big
company of regulars and militia has
set a new health record. From May

this small number only twenty-one

British feet"
Following the success of the Wright
biplane, Sir Hiram renewed his Iona
continued interest in aviation and in
1910 perfected a machine which he de-
clared had certain advantages over the
Wright's. 1t was he who, with others,
interested the British government in
beginning its organization of an aerial
navy, and though he was then 10 years
old he lived to see the great war bring
air fighting to pass In even greater
1890 probably, than he himself had
dreamed
.4Ition to his gun and aeroplane,
he patented many electrical inventions,
including incandescent lamps, self
regulating current machines, several
pieces OF ordanceI and a smokeless
powder.
The aged inventor took keen inter-
est in the war, and from time to time
there were unconfirmed reports OF his
invention of devices to meet the needs
of the war, one OF them being an ap-
paratus to counteract the effects OF the
poisonous gases which the Germans
were first to bring into use In 1915
he was appointed member OF the in
ventions board Of the British munitions
department under Lloyd George.
Sir Hiram applied himself so siren
uously to science throughout his long
life that even his recreations were
given by him as reading scientific
books and studying the abstract
sciences" He wrote many important
articles, and an autobiography, my
Life" in 1915.
He was a cheyalier Of the Legion OF
ciety Of Civil Engineers, the Royal So
ciety Of Arts, the British Association
for the Advancement OF Science and
numerous other scientific bodies.

as follows about the day nursery
here:
will give a few reasons why we,
as citizens, should encourage the op-
ening Of a day nursery. First. because
poor, who are left destitute
Second, because we should not only
look after their present needs, but
do 1t in a manner to help them also
in the future.
Third. in n way that will make the
dollar do the greatest amount of
Fourth, we as Christians are
taught, that it is our duty to look ar
ter the widows and orphans, thereby
reducing the cost OF caring for them
selves.
What is the work OF day nurserys
It is this: Should widow be left
with small children. she may be
strong enough to go out and work
to support them IL she has some place
she knows they are safe and taken
care OF.
So the day nursery viii keep these
children for very small fee aid see
that they have proper food and care.
Clarksburg must make some ad-
vancemehts along these lines or fall
behind other great citiesf which are
doing a similar work
When an appeal is made let us
give literally. Read Psalms 68:5;
also read James 1927.
