WAR KEEPS MANY
DISCOVERIES SECRET
Scientists Have invented Many
Things Which Have Not
Been Made Public.
[By Ed. L. Keen, United Press STAFF

LONDON. Jan. 1I-tBy mail)-
When the war Is over the world will
be overwhelmed with announcements
of wartime scientific achievements.
This statement made to the United
Press today from within British scien-
tific circles, explained the apparent
dearth Of scientific activity during
the war.
On the contrary, science has made
enormous strides; scientists have
been working overtime for fifteen
months Scientific research has con-
sumed enormous sums Of money and
accomplished startling results. These
results will be secret until peace is
declared.
New and more terrible death deal
ing explosives and apparatus for. man
killing have been doing their work for
months unannounced to the world at
large. Chemistry and physics are
being exploited in secret.
An announcement from Germany
that German professors have discov-
cred method of making rubber syn
thetically has stirred British scien-
lists to give away one of their secrets.
They insist that this accomplishment
was first discovered in England and
the Germans are simply copying 1t.
There is. however. in England, a
tendency to credit the Germans with
more strides in science for war than
the Germans would have the world
believe.
The bulk Of these developments
probably will become known later.
One German poison gas was known,
but could not be counteracted until it
was actually used. The British scien-
fists now claim this gas is no longer
dangerous factor in warfare since
their counteracting agent is perfected.
How it was counteracted is one of
the secrets.
Engineering accomplishments ,have
, been placed in the same category with
those of chemistry and physics. The
methods of producing special metals
for high speed machinery has been
revolutionized.
Not alone have England and Ger
many been busy in science. French.
| Italian, Austrian and other belhgerent
nations scientists have been speeding
up during the last sixteen months.
The war has forced them to 1t.
1t means q speedier peace and a
more scientifice. therefore more en-
lightened peace. say the secretive
scientists.
Discoveries concerning the produc-
| ton of food products have been es-
pecially numerous. While Germany
claims big things in this direction.
English scientists point with pride to
| the British discovery OF bacterized
peat, which makes vegetables grow
| to giant forms.
Medical science. aided by extraor-
binary opportunities for research, has
experienced remarkable triumphs
both in the treatment and the proven
| ton of disease.

manner, 26 to Is. but only after a
hard fought battle. The basket shoot
ing of Ernest Klann was phenomenal.
He Gagged eight goals against what
was supposed to be invincible guard
ing. The floor work of both teams
was excellent, and while the BaIstists
had as many chances for goals as
the Germans, the latter took the most
advantage of their opportunities and
some wonderful caging resulted. In
free throws the Germans also ex.
celled, and it was said by many that
the German team is the most consis-
tent in the city today. The result

can almost feel it.

The Campaign Planned.

Pursuant to the May meeting, 4
campaign was planned which provided
among other things, for: Listing OF
influential shippers, commercial or
CARNATIONS and municipalities and di-
rect correspondence with same; sug-
costing joint action by municipal
bodies and commercial organizations
toward establishing terminals; en-
rouraging discussion Of the terminal
question; preparing a list of newspa-
pers and securing for same terse ex,
preston on the terminal question
from influential men; suggesting ton,
mage report from shippers; securing
report from cities and towns as to
local terminal situation.
The cost of this plan was estimated
and municipalities as such were in
vited to contribute in proportion to
their population. No requests were
made OF commercial organizations or
shippers.
Notwithstanding the limited funds
received. progress has been made
along the lines OF the campaign
planned and many encouraging let
tiers have been received. All Of the
correspondence and copies Of all ou7
communications are on file.
