Of these secrets were locked up in the
patent and copyright of the United
States government so that the inven-

in the United States by German con
Germs. These secrets were closely kept
so long as the two countries were at
peace, but with the outbreak of war be-
tween them the obligation of secresy
was broken. Now these German secrets
of commerce and industry are laid bare
for adoption by American manufactur.

people. II is probable that like action
will be taken by Germany if it already
has not been done but the prospects are
that we shall suffer little in comparison

RUSSIAN CAMoUFLAGE PERHAPS.

The apparently frank statement OF
Premier Kerensky of Russia that his ma
ton is SO warworn as to be out of the
war temporarily may have been made
with some hidden intention, and it would
be well to bear Russia in mind all the
time when contemplating the progress of
the war. Russia has heretofore shown
remarkable recuperatiye powers after her
armies have been pounded into defeat,
and it is barely possible that Russia will
be able to recover from the deadening
effects of the internal discord which has
been raging for many months. In fact
it would not be at all surprising if the
kerensky government were already get
ting some semblance of order and prog
ress in the badly torn nation. The fact
that the Russian fleet was able to escape
from the net which the German fleet
seemed TO have drawn about it and the
fact that Russian army is following
on the heels of the retreating Germans
in the Riga region are indications that
everything is not lost in Russia at the
present time and that there may even
be returning national consciousness
There is some suspicion that Premier
Kerensky's statement was form of
camoufage concealing some interesting

HORSES WERE USED

 In the old days when the Romans and Greeks fought furious battles, the charioteers drove their cars in all di- rections, hurled their javelins, and by the din and chatter of horses and wheels commonly threw the ranks Of the enemy into disorder, and, making their way among the squadrons of the enemys cavalry, leaped down from the chariots and fought on foot The charioteers then withdrew, little by little, out of the fight, and placed their chariots in such a way that if they were hard pressed they could readily retreat to their own side. Thus in battle they afforded the mobility of cavalry with the steadiness of iu- fantry. Daily practice enabled them to pull up their horses at full speed when on a steep slope, or to run out on the pole and stand on the yoke, and to get nimbly back into the chariot
 With the introduction of cavalry in the later Iron age came larger horses, put their use for this purpose seems to have been restricted to isolated areas. There is no doubt that the West German tribes, as late as the campaign of Caesar in Gaul, used only the shaggy pony. It is said in cavalry actions they held it disgraceful. and slothful to use any kind of a saddle, and instead of charging in squadrons they dismounted and fought on foot. As far as England is concerned, tn. art of riding seems to have been in troduced by the Normans. The Sax ons appear to have been but indiffer- ent horsemen.

 Having been advised by Joe V.

 The club members also say that they will aid in every way in pro- viding home for these animals with the intention that the collection be enlarged from time to time and become a sizeable zoo, to be located in one of the city parks, or else where if more desirable.
 Already many specimens of deer bear. coyote, skunk. quail, duck and many other varities of Arizona wilo animals and birds are in captivity and which are to be exhibited at tht state fair.

MAN HAS NEW WAY TO
 BEAT HOTEL BILLS
(Boston Transcriut)


 A man who passed through Vermont the other day has illustrated in his own proceedings a new, ingenious, cheap and rather exciting way of talk ing a pleasure trip through the coun- try. It is worth noting. Some of the Nomand's readers may want to adopt if. The individual referred to, who is accompanied only by travelling mans rather large and good looking suit or sample case, arrives at night at a good hotel registers as A. Jack son So-and- So. of New York, or Bos- to, or Chicago, or somewhere else in America, mentions the large firm that he is connected with, picks out a good room. eats his supper, spends the night, takes an excellent breakfast, and then orders an automobile, which is to take him on the important busi- ness errands that he has to do. His confident and business-like manner inspires great respect. When he is in the automobile, he drives to a point about twenty-five or thirty miles away, leaves the car and disappears. As matter of fact, he takes a trolley car, or a short trip on train to some other point where he finds an- other hotel and repeats the experi-
 
 his nights entertainment nor for tho motor car which has so pleasantly waited him on his way. After the re- turn of the motor car. and a period of profound thought as to what they ought to do about it. the people at the hotel get after the man by telephone, and so or; but they can trace him only as far as the point where he left the automobile. And he is not there. It takes at least forty eight hours to hear from the next hotel where he has stopped, and by that time he is seeing the country somewhere else no one knows where.
 The operation settles itself down to this, that there is nothing easier to get than nights lodging, with sup per and breakfast, at a hotel. unless it is an automobile for a business trip" But this method of travel, it is needless to say, is practicable only in [ 2 well-settled country, with good towns within thirty to fifty miles of one another.

DEEP SEA SAILORS
 GO TO GREAT LAKES
(Buffalo Express)


 Ocean sailors are coming to the Great Lakes this year in greater numbers than ever before in the history of the local office of the steamboat inspectors. The majority of the applicants want ahla seamen's papers for work on inland waters. Some are negroes, some white and some yellow. Most of them gave as their reason for leaving the ocean their fear of submarines.
 When John Ojala, a native of Fin land, applied for papers, John E Null roy, the aximener here,-asked Ojala the usual questions, and then d few per sonal ones. Ojala said that he had sailed the seas for fifteen years, but being twice on vessels sunk by subma = rines was enough for him. He said that he was going back to the ocean at the close of the lake navigation season.
 On November 29, 1915, Ojala was sailing on the Mediterranean sea, about fifty miles from Malta, aboard the English ship Malinche, bound from Sa- lonika to Philadelphia. A U-boat stopped the Malinche and two German officers, after chasing off the crew, placed bombs in the boat.
 Ojala shipped again. On February 20, last, he was aboard the Norwegian sailing ship, Falls of Alton, which was sunk about twenty miles off the coast of England. Seven shots from a deck gun on the sub sent the Falls of Alton to the bottom
 A German sailor on the vessel. fear ing to land in England, was taken on board the submarine. The Alton was going from Buenos Aires to Rotterdam with cargo of linseed.
