and when the whole length OF allied
lines is over 1000 miles and we are
doing the chief fighting in a front OF

NEW INVENTION
TO END THE WAR

An American citizen, fresh from
the melting pot, is ready to demon

He is Garabed T. X. Giragossian.
The Senate today will take up a
resolution passed by the House au-

power plant now known to man.
The inventor has told the re-

members of two committees of
Congress, to Secretaries Baker, Dan
