HAS INVENTION TO
 BLOW UP DIVERS

PITTSBURGH March 17.-TheO- dore Eichoiz, a young engineer and ar chitect of this city, has invented a wireless device that may be used to destroy submarines by causing an eY- plosion of gases that are always pres ent in submarines. For several years the inventor was connected with the United States Corps of Engineers
 MT. Eichoiz states that few days ago a small experimental apparatus at his home on Neville Island sunk a small dummy submarine in the Ohio River five miles away. The destroyed model was built of steel, and had been submerged to a depth of ten feet.
 All submarines while under water are propelled by electric storage pat teries which throw off a gas that per yades the hull This gas, Eichoiz says, he detonates by wireless current and destruction follows.
 The apparatus will be submitted to the government.

Would Plunge Country
Into Civil War

Haywood aspred TO be the Robes
pierre Of the American revolution. Like
Robespierre. he is often soft Of voice
and dispassionate, but always vindic-
tive at heart. Painting alluring word
pictures of the impending millennium
for all who work with their hands, he
deliberately contemplated and con-
spired for bloody chaos.
His plan included forcible revolt,
such as was actually started by one Of
his allied organizations in Oklahoma;
the stoppage of work in all the indus
tries contributing to war, the wrecking
Of the machinery Of production every
where, and the Inauguration Of pop
ular panic through fires. assaults and
universal sabotage America was 20 be
plunged into all the horrors or civil war
enemy without.
To carry out this programme he had
a great adaptable mechanism. Its
weakness. The !. w. W. is not com

plined ana dependent for its life on q

more heads and more bodies. Il is not
an organization of men OF steady en-
ployment, property interests and
established status. II is essentially an
organization of the unfortunates, the
outcasts and the lowly. It's strength
rests chiefly with the hundreds of thou
sands of wanderers in America who
have no place TO call their own or
home.

Haywood Merely
Prepares the Fuel

The Haywood plan Is direct action
by indirection. Through literature and
speeches he fills the minds of his fol-
lowers with ideas of anarchy and revo-
luton and the diabolical methods Of
applying those ideas. Rarely if ever
does he direct a particular offence
against the laws. He merely prepares
the fuel and furnishes the match. The
rest is left 70 natural sequence.
Haywood is the incarnation of de
stIuctiOn. lie would destroy. he SAYS,
