GERMANY IS EXPECTING
 PEACE BEFORE AUTUMN

LONDON. May 27.-That the war is at last entering it's decisive phase and that some circles in Germany are looking for a great general offensive on the part of the Allies before long. is the idea expressed in an article en- titled Peace in Autumn" printed in a recent issue of Die Welt am Montag of Berlin and reading in part as fol- lows:
 "The great council recently held in Paris. according to, the unanimous re- ports of British. French and neutral newspapers. not only decided to exer- else a sharper pressure on neutral trade but to prosecute co-ordinated attack on all fronts with all the means at their disposal. We have right to be somewhat skeptical with regard to these reports. In the nature of the case and under existing circumstances the English troops must soon come into action. and the noticeable sf- lence prevailing on this point must strengthen our-belief.
 "The conference at Paris and the speech on peace conditions delivered recently by the Chancellor lead us to suppose that we stand before the de- cisive last phase of the war. We must brace ourselves for last attempt, es- pecially of our Western enemies; also perhaps. for an advance of the armies at Saloniki Should it really be true what is said about the enemy confer ence at Paris we may reckon that the summer will bring with it the military decision and the preliminary condi- tions of peace." ..z"

DOCTOR SAYS SALT IS ,
 GREAT ENEMY MANKIND

CHICAGO, May 27.-Salt is the greatest enemy of mankind, accord ing to Dr. Charles Woodward of the Illinois State Eclectic Medical Society which is holding it's forty-sixth an nual convention held at the Hotel La Sale. Every modern human being is pfckled in brine until his health is ruined and he is brought to an un- timely grave. We eat so much salt that the cannibals with a natural ap- petite cannot eat us.
 'tThe idea that we must fill every article of food with salt is most dangerous fallacy,' said Dr. Wood ward. Every man needs twenty 1grains of salt in day-he gets about 400. This means that his tissues are invaded by surplus of salt which cannot be eliminated. The result is a hundred ailments. The excess salt and nothing else, for instances, causes old people to have such brittle bones that if they stumble over something they break an arm or leg.
 "The human race has become the victim of salt. In single bowl of restaurant soup the poor devil who has to eat 1t gets at least five times as much salt as he should have in a whole day. The uncivilized man will not touch our food-cannot eat our delicacies. because they are too salty. The South Sea island cannibals never eat a white man and the explana- tion given by them is that the white men are too salty

GETS l
 TWO MILLION
INVENTOR OF NEW AUTO FIJI
Reported Maxim Munitions Corpoi tiCn Makes Deal for Process Whi
 Provides Substitute for Gasoline
 One and a Half Gents per Gallo

The Maxim Munitions Corporatic3 of New York has announced that has closed a contract for the excl'
 sive manufacturing rights of Lou
 Enricht's substitute for gasoline. Th
 price. paid was mentioned as on
 million but at the office of the con pany no exact information could b obtained as to the details of the tran saction.
 Experiments up to this time," t. quote from the statement of the Max i'm Munitions Corporation, ''pr0v'S conclusively that this invention, whel fully perfected in some of it's minof details, will be revolutionary in char { acter. The experiments now being made by the corporation are for the purpose of proving beyond a doubt the practicability and commercial: value of this fuel. Plans for the cree. tion of laboratory and plant for the. manufacture of this new fuel are we'll under way" Just how the product will be mar keted the corporation is not ready to announce. It can be had in two forms. The first is concentrated solution of four chemical substances. a greenish mixture. A small quantity of this may be added to a gallon of water and the result is the gasoline substi- ute. It is supposed that the chemi- calls, combined with the action of a special electrode, set up an action which releases from the water the hy- drogen which is the basis of the va DOT which drives automobiles
 Farmers who may be able to furn- ish their own water from their own wells and pumps could, according to those. buy the strong green mixture and placing it with the water could soon have cheap fuel power with which to do their wood saving or their threshing. Persons who do not care to do their own mixing would be able to buy their gasoline substitute with the water all primed for use in the tanks of the automobiles. It has been announced that the inventor was to give his formula to the public. but at the office of the corporation it was declared that there must be some mistake.
 The negotiations for the formula had been going on for several months and long before Henry Ford went to the inventors establishment to study the device. Weeks ago Enricht had said he had an offer of one million from large company. Tests had been made by the Ford management, but they had not been completed.
 Enricht, when seen at his home in Farmingdale, refused to affirm. or deny the story of the sale of his in- vention to the Maxim corporation. The inventor is building a laboratory 35 by 75 feet. He has also ordered plans for a new residence to be pre- pared by local architect. He says, too, that before long he will build & large factory in the neighborhood.
 Enricht is now working on a sub stitute for babbitt metal, which he says is 75 per cent cheaper than that used. He is also experi- menting on what he terms new pro- cess for the extraction of the nitro gen from the air.

skating sets, sometimes Of three

muller and cape or hat. They make
ideal Christmas gifts.
