MAKING WAR PERPETUAL.

AT recent meeting in Paris OF
representatives of all the French
chambers Of commerce, plans for
trade conquest were adopted which
news dispatch sums up as follows:
"The alliance of business interests,
which has been proposed by Great
Britain and France, intends to devise
ways and means of effectively Oppos-
ing Austrian and German industry
and commerce while the war continu-
es and after peace has been arrang-
ed"
That England and France should
seek to cripple their enemies indus.
try and trade during the war is natu.
raj. But that they should coolly form
ulate plans to bottle up and suffocate
German and Austrian business after
the war is not only Objectionable to
fair.minded neutrals, but is amazing
ly short-sighted SO far as their own
interests are concerned.
There seems to be no doubt Of
such an economic conspiracy. The
president of the British Board of
Trade said recently, in the House of
Commons: 49,. ..
"While the war is on, we must do
everything in our power to destroy
German finance, credit and trade.
The work of the Board of Trade
shall be to see to it that after the
war Germany does not have the op-
portunity to reorganize her CONNER
cial system. We must see that con-
troll of the metals of the empire pass
es entirely from German hands. We
must keep control of the worlds coal.
We must secure control of the supply
of OIL"
German industry and trade have
not menaced the worlds peace. A
systematic effort to suffOcate them
will be a real menace to peace Moth
ing will do so much to perpetuate war
as a game of economic freeze-out
against Germany.

MAP FOR USE OF AIR SCOUTS

Something That Will Be Use. Il
full to Aviators.

Washington.-A portable military
and naval Typographical map for use
Of air scouts in the field and WHICH
will enable them to make quick and
realistic reports Of observations, has
been invented by Gunnery Sergeant
Herman G. Stroschein of the United
States marine corps.
Worm gearing, operated by tele-
scopic thumbscrews from the sides OF
the map, will create elevations and
depressions thereon, showing terrain,
contours of valleys, bodies OF water.
ETC., and should make the aviator's re-
port clear to the newest man in tho
field of operations, Stroschein claims.
The map will be very light, though
strongly built, and it is thought by
many military men that one OF the
great problems confronting aviators
In the feld-speed and accuracy in

been overcome by the use Of the ma
rine sergeant's invention.

self after he passed the age of one
hundred years. t
1t was not generally known here
that man of such age was living,
his home being in the extreme south
west corner Of the county. The rec
ords Of his birth, his own belief Of
his age, and the remembered testi-
mony on the subject of old men whom
Massey outlived, causes the firm be-
lief that he actually lived to the age
of one hundred and seven. Massey
fought in the Mexican war and IN
the Civil war.
