GENIUS MAY END CONFLICT
Has Invented Wonderful Generator
Which Is To ReVoIutionize War
fare and Bring Victory.

Washington.-Will a single stroke
of American inventive genius win this
world war, as it has won every other
war in which the United States has
taken part? Despite President Will
sons warning that the country must
not sit back and wait for an invention,
Washington is excited over new
power system that will, If its invent
ors claims materialize, revolutionize
warfare overnight and end the conflict
as suddenly, with America victorious.
The system is a free energy gener'
ator," and its inventor is Garabed T.
X. Giragossian, an Armenian mechan-
ic, who has been working on his plan
in Boston the greater part of rs years.
So radical are his assertions that they
would be dismissed with a shrug and
a smile, had he not, in secret demon
strations, backed up his statements.

GREATEST VICTORY
Achieved BY HAIG
SIX VILLAGES AND 5000 PRISON.
ERS cAPTURED-UNPRECE-
DENTED CASUALTIES.
Thousands of Bodies Lying Amid Ruins
Left in Wake of Terrific Hurri-
cane Of Shells.

London.-"The greatest British vic
tory of the war" is the way CORE
spondents at the front described Gen.
eral Haig's smash across German pc.
sitions east and northeast of Ypres.
They say villages captured in the drive
are Broodseinde, Reutel, Noordenhoek,
Polderhoek, Molenaaresthoek and
Gravenstafel. The total of prisoners
counted so far exceeds 5000. The
Germans did not counter-attack. In
stead they played unceasing rays of
hot metal from the heaviest guns upon
the new British positions, trying to
hamper the consolidation work.
Three principal obstacles remain be-
fore the whole remainder of the ridge
must automatically crumble before
the British drive. They are Zonne-
beke, Gheluvelt and part of Polygon
Wood 1t is confidently expected that
Haig will resume his offensive shortly
in order to place himself in complete
possession of all the dominating
heights before the weather compels
both sides to go into winter quarters.
The Berlin War Office described the
battle as relatively a German success.
1t admitted that the British made
gains to Il depth varying between one
and one-half kilometers, the lost
ground being termed "a strip of land"

Fourth Army succeeded in withstand
ing the British attack" and inflicted
heavy losses upon the assailants.
Becelaere and Gheluvelt villages, it is
added, remain completely in the pos
session of the Germans"

mckinley MEMORIAL
DEDICATED At niles
NEW ERA IN LIFE OF AMERICA
WAS BEGUN BY MkRTYRED
PRESIDENT, SAYS TAFT.
Were This Great ohloan Alive His
Words Would Ring Against Patch
ed-up Peace, Ayers Friend.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Niles, Understanding at the great
marble memorial building and monu-
ment erected to the memory of Ohio's
martyred President, William McKin-
ley, in the city of his birth and dedi-
Gated to him, former President Wm.
II. Taft declared Mckinley saw most
clearly, when others were blind to it.,
the real position OF the United States
in the world.
Mr.. Taft continued:
I'VE could not keep out of world
politics, if we would. That which af-
fects the world affects us. The Mon
roe doctrine is becoming a more seri-
Gus limitation upon European action
than ever before.
Were Mckinley alive today how
his patriotic heart, his broad vision
and his vibrant words would be united
in supporting the Government in its
constructive measures to carry on the
great world struggle to victory!
with what firmness he would reject
all propositions to compromise by pro-
posal of patched-up peace! He would
not fail to see that in the present is
sue no peace is possible until secured
by victory-that no solution is worthy
OF our history but defeat OF militar
ism"
Mr.. Taft declared that it is better
to fight Germany in company with the
allies than to fight her alone later. He
insisted that had we been able to stay
out OF the war we would have found
ourselves in continued friction with
Germany, until she thought the op-
portunity had come for her to strike.
"Our present situation is mere de-
velopment of the disclosure of our real
situation in the world which Mckinley
recognized and made preparation to
meet" continued Mr.. Taft.
Mckinley began a new era in the
life of the United States. His success
sors in Office followed in this"

SERIOUS PROBLEM is FACED
Will Have to Weed Out "Misfits" That
Local Boards Sent In Anxiety
to FIJI Quotas.

Camp Sherman, O.-Army officers
at Camp Sherman are facing a serious
problem owing to laxity of local draft
boards in selecting men to fill the
ranks of the national army. Here is
the situation: Overanxiety on the part
of draft boards throughout Ohio and
Western Pennsylvania to fill quickly
their quotas and get the soldiers "off
to camp" has resulted in thousands Of
units being dumped into Camp Sher,
man. Hundreds Of these already have
been sent home. These men, many Of
them disabled beyond repair; others
alien enemies, and others hopelessly
ignorant of the English language, are
here, and they are burden upon the
shoulders of Major General E. F. Glenn
and his officers.

WAR PRODUCTION is HALTED
Eventual Policy Rests on Western
Junket of Commission Headed BY
Secretary VIM. Wilson.

Washington.-The Government is
working to develop some comprehen-
sive system of dealing with the labor
unrest which threatens to hamper war
production. 1t is concerned over the
pronounced upward movement of
wages, disproportionate for various inr
dustries, and the difficulty Of stabiliz-
ing conditions without doing injustice
to workers or employers. Nearly all
production now directly or indirectly
is necessary for the prosecution of the
war, and the output of war material
is curtailed by strikes, extraordinary
movement of workers from one indus
try to another, or from plant to plant
and other unsettled conditions. On
the recommendations of the commits
sion, headed by Secretary Wilson, of
the Department Of Labor, which left
for the West, largely depend the Gov.
ernment's eventual policy.

Money Enough to Be Happy.

The American Magazine asked this
question few months ago. One Of the
best answers is:
How much money do 1 need to be
happy? That's easy. l can answer
that without even taking time to stare
into the fire or bat an eyelash-$2, ,0S0
year. That is enough to live com
fortably, save some and do our share
In the social and religious life of which
we are part. Friends, friends are
the gift Of God and can neither be
bought nor sold, so money cannot en-
ter into this phase of the question, for,
whether l were lineup beggar, a
blOated bondholder or just fair to
middling everyday person, true friends
are still friends. Now, why the spe-
citic amount, $2,OSO a year? Why not
$4,000 or $4,000? For the simple rca-
son that $2,OS0 is the exact amount
that my Peter makes, and because with
love enough the amount of money to
make one happy is just what ones
got"

VAST REVENUE BILL A LAW
Provides for Two BIlIions-Senate
Passes Measure Which Was Up
Before House Five Months.

Washington.-At last the two-and-a'
half-billion-dollar war revenue bill
practically is a law. 1t passed the
Senate without dissenting vote, and
will go to President Wilson. Senator
Simmons said the bill, which has been
in the Congress five months, would
raise $2,535, 100000. There was not
even roll call on the bill. Senator La.
Toilette concluded speech against it,
calling it unjust, and saying it was
framed unwisely. Vice President Mar
shall called for viva voce vote, and in
few seconds the greatest tax meas
ure ever placed on any nation had been
passed. Senator Simmons, the Fl.
nance Committee Chairman, explained
that the decrease of approximately
5000, 100000 from the estimate was be-.
cause of revisions. He said the in
creases added by the Senate and con-
ference changes amounted to $1,102,-
100000, of which 128,000,000 was in
serted by the conferees.

REDUCES WORK OF KIDNEYS
Diet Recommended by Medical Men
for Those Who Suffer From
Dreaded Nephrltis.

In nephritis, or inflammation Of the
kidneys, diet is n very important part
of the treatment. The diet is planned
to reduce the tax on the kidney to the
lowest terms. Beverages and fluid
foods are limited, no salt is added to
food, certain vegetables which contain
much salt are avoided and meat is cut
out entirely.
DR.. Arthur F. Chace, professor Of
iaedicine, and DR.. Anton r. Rose, as
sociate in pathological chemistry ia
the New York POSTGRADUATE Medical
School and Hospital, give in the Jour-
nal of the American Medical assOci-
alton a study of diet for nephritic suf-
ferers.
'"The general plan of the dietary is
as follows: A warm cooked cereal,
generally farina served with milk, is
given for breakfast. This is sometimes
replaced by oatmeal or a baked ba-
mana, and toast and a citrus fruit are
occasionally added.
"The noon meal consists of q plain
soup made from milk, flour and hutter,
given mainly to supply an agreeable
hot dish, though it is also utilized as
medium for introducing variety by
adding celery, asparagus or spinach; !;
a main dish consisting of baked pO-
tatO, now and then replaced by baked
half-ripe banana and steamed rice; a
liberal portion of green vegetable and
a lettuce salad with oil dressing, fla
vOred with lemon or vinegar.
"The evening meal is composed Of
such articles as ripe bananas, rice pud-
ding, cOrnstarch blanc mango, steamed
rice with baked bananas and stewed
fruit. Milk and cocoa in limited guam
titles are served as beverage"
From this general outline it is not
difficult to construct twenty different
menus that will contain great variety.

ASKED TO TAKE ,
PAPER INDUSTRY
A REPORT RECOMMENDING Gov
EMINENT OPERATION OF

During the War Against the Defiant
Attitude of Paper Producers Was
Filed BY the Senate Printing Com
mittee-Action at December Session

Washington.-A report recommend
ing Government operation of the print
paper and pulp industries during the
war and arraigning what it calls the
defiant attitude of print paper pro-
ducers was filed by the Senate Print
ing Committee. 1t will await action at
the December session. The report
says the Federal Trade Commissions
findings show beyond any question
that the print paper industry, in its
greed for excessive profits, has i'm
posed a most unjust burden on the
American press, which faces a serious
disaster if relief can not speedily be
had from the oppressive prices now
exacted for print paper" 1t adds that
the commission, in it's recent investi-
cation, exhausted every resource at
its command to obtain relief for the
publishers, but has been able to get
only small measure of relief owing
Ito the defiant attitude assumed by
the principal producers Of print paper
and lack Of authority of the commits
sion to enforce its finding as to fair
and reasonable price"
Under a resolution introduced Sy
Senator Smith, of Arizona and report
ed by the committee for passage, the
Trade Commission would be empow-
cred to control the production and dis
tribution of print paper and mechan-
Ical and chemical pulp in the United
States.
