INVENTORS UNITE
IN DEFENSE WORK
Secretly Planning Devices to
Help Army and Navy in
Event of War.
Their SERVICES GIVEN FREE
Government Is Asked to Suggest What
Is Needed in the Different Branch
es Of the Service-Give Time
and Money.

New YOrk.-Since January $40
members of the Association of Practi-
cal Inventors of America have been
working secretly on inventions to aid
the army and navy in the event of
war with Germany, according to Tim
othy d. Gleason, president of the new
organization. When perfected the in
ventions will be offered free to the
government.
Mr.. Gleason, who resides at No. 512
West F'ifty-third street, where meet
ings are held every Thursday evening,
said he had written to the secretary
of the navy and secretary of war ask
ing them what is most needed If war
should come.
1--WE are all mechanics" said Mr..
Gleason, land feel able to assist our
army and navy in a substantial way if
the nation goes to war with the Prus-
slams. OF course we could go ahead
and perfect several inventions, but
they might conflict with those already
in contemplation by the government.

Mr.. Baker before we proceed in IL gen.

worked on by government forces and
we are ready to submit these when
called upon to do so.

Take the submarine. for instance.
The F-4 went down in Honolulu and
everyone on board lost his life. We
are confident this was all unnecessary.
A Prussian submarine met with an ac-
cident last year and sank to depth
of two hundred and forty feet, yet
only single life was lost i'm the thir-
ty-six hours it was submerged. Thirty
four men comprised that crew. Sup
pose, for instance, an inflated tank
with telephone wires and pipes at
tached could be released by a subma-
to the surface, whistle sounding an
alarm, do you think lives would be
lost? A simple invention of that ma
ture will give you an idea what we
are contemplating.

about the accomplishments of the
Deutschland they wondered and bat

American inventor has no superior.
and the people of this nation may
rest well assured that their interests
will be guarded in proper fashion in
time of international conflict. We
take our hats off to no foreign inven-

we are not boasting. Inventors have
been called soldiers of peace, but.their
position will be well defined if war
comes. We already have established

But the time to act is now. Pre-

Resting Place of Great Soldier
Marked Only by Govern
ment Stone.
FALLS AT HEAD OF TROOPS
Hero of Spanish-American War Had
Long Record of Splendid Service
Native State Honors His
Memory.
BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.

washington Correspondent of the West
ern Newspaper Union)
WashingtOn.-In Arlington, the great
National cemetery, lies the body of
Henry Ware Lawton, major general
United States army. He was one of
the most noted soldiers of the Ameri-
can service, and yet save for the lit
tie government stone over his grave his
resting place is unmarked.
Other soldiers of Il fame which that
Of Lawton eclipsed have mighty me-
mortal stones erected in their honor.
LawtOn is not forgotten, for his name
is cherished by the American people,
but there has been criticism time and
again of the fact that this great Amer
lean soldier who fell at the head of
his troops while leading them in bat
tie has not been hOnOred by the gov
eminent of the United States with n
memorial in Arlington commensurate
with his services to the republic.
In Indianapolis, Ind, from which
state Henry Ware Lawton entered the
military service as a private at the
outbreak of the Civil war, there is u
magnificent monument to his memory.
There is story connected with the
erection of this monument, and it has
a bearing on the absence of memOri-
al in Arlington cemetery.
Before going further into the details
let it be said that the members of Gen
eral Lawton's family are in no wise
responsible for the absence from Ar
lington cemetery of a monument to his
memory.
Left Only Small Estate.
General Lawton like most soldiers
died leaving only small estate. 1t
was his expressed wish before he died
and the understanding is that he left
a written request to the effect, that
none of the small amount which he be-
queathed and which was intended to
support his family should be used to
erect any monument to his memory.
Some years ago the writer of this
article noticed that Lawton's grave in
Arlington, except for the little govern
ment headstOne, was unmarked. He
wrote an article about it and called the
attention of Louis Ludlow, CORRESPOND
ent Of several prominent Indiana pa
pers to the fact that the great Indiana
soldiers grave was without a fitting
memorial stone or monument.
Mr.. Ludlow wrote to his papers
about the matter and his letters being
published, a movement was started in
the state to secure funds for a me-
mortal to Lawton. 1t was expected
that this memorial would be erected in
Arlington, but the intention was
changed and the money was used to
put up a splendid monument in the
City Of Indianapolis.
1t is difficult to get congress to ap-
propriate money for memorials. If
Lawton's grave in Arlington is to be
marked with a fitting tribute to his

THE ITALIAN DEFEAT

The explanation so far given for the
great defeat and retreat Of the Italian
army seems inadequate. The Italians
ND to this catastrophe had conquered
the most stupendous difficulties The
English and French could barely make
progress in level country Yet those
plucky italian fighters could hack
their way over PERCEPTIONS cliffs and
high mountains
1t is hard to believe that the Ital-
ians could have met this great de-
feat on the basis of fighting ability
alone, or even from superior German
strategy. tt looks like treachery
somewhere Not that any unit of the
Italian army or any commander has
played false, for these soldiers have
shown splendid patriotic feeling.
1t will be recalled that when the
Roumanians were defeated last year
it was reported that German spies had
secured for German headquarters the
full plans of the Roumanian staff
It looks like a case of that steady
leak of information that goes on all
the time through the German spy sys-
TEN. This system, established by the
Germans in all the allied countries
before the war. is now producing re-
suits. II constantly informs the Ger
man commanders about conditions in
side the allied armies One can't
help feeling that through this spy
system Germany became aware tina
there was a weak and poorly guarded
back door to the Italian line. and wai
tipped off by it's agents as to how tina
door could be broken open.
This does not mean that any Ital
ians have sold out their country, onl,
that all through each allied countr

PROGRESS OR sTAGNATION!

Whatever may happen to the pro-
posed issue of bonds for the improve
ment of county highways, it should
not be afterwards said that the ques-
ton was either carried or lost be
cause the voters of the county failed
to go to the polls and register their
wishes in the matter Such a result
would be unsatisfactory to everybody
Should the bonds carry with only a
partial vote, their opponents will feel
overridden, should they fail under the
same circumstances, their supporters
will say that no fair and full express
sion has been had, and will strive TO
try it again at the first opportunity.
The question is now up under ia
vorable circumstances; all its points
and bearings are being made known,
canvassed and understood. BY all
means let it be settled one way or
the other in such manner that the
will of all the people of the county is
made clear and unmistagable. ii we
are to continue to wallow through the
mud in winter and to bump the bumps,
eat dust and break springs on rocks

mer, let us know it, once for all!
If. upon the other hand, we are to
fall into the ranks of progress and be-
gin expanding road money systemat-
ically upon a real system of real roads,
let us know that, also, and rejoice
therein.
For. in addition to all personal COM
fort and convenience to every per-
son who uses our public highways
either for business or for pleasure the
settlement of this question in favor OF
the desired improvement will mean an
immediate addition to the present
strong demand for homes and lands
