Many Military Inventions
are being Offered to the
War Department
ALL DEVICES ARE
INVESTIGATED
Ninety-nine Out of Every
Hundred, However, are
In1practicable.

Washington, Oct. 30.-Fifty new
ways to end the war are proposed
daily to the War Department, for that
many military inventions are sub
nlitted each "a hours, and nearly
every inventor claims his device will
revolutionize warfare. Ninety-nine
out of one hundred are discharged as
impracticable in the war emergency,
but for the sake of the possibilities
in the one, all are welcomed and in
vestigated.
Here are a few of the devices be-
fore the War Department board of
ordnance and fortiications, which
gives preliminary Investigations to in
ventions, or consideration today:
Polished reflectors to throw sun
light into the eyes of the enemy and
blind him; elaborate sling shots for
throwing bombs; land torpedoes re-
sembling small tractor engines to run
across No Mans Land and explode
in the enemy trenches; aerial torpe-
does to fly without a pilot; double
shot connected by chains to entangle
airplanes in the skies; -propellipg
bombs resembling skyrockets; sables
with pistol attached to the hilt to in
flict double wounds; coats of mail,
like medieval armor, to make soldiers
shed bullets like raindrops; hand
grenades with trailer strings, the
pulling of which causes explosion
after the grenade lands in the enemy
trench; centrifugal guns which whirl
bullets until they gain sufficient mo-
mentum and then feed them out in a
steady stream; safety parachutes to
allow aviators to drop from disabled
machines; modernized cataputs for
hurdling trench bombs; and smoke
to be thrown by charging infantry
men a moment before the bayonet
clash.
Nearly ten thousand inventions
have been offered the War Depart
ment since war was declared. These
include about fifty designs of CEN
trlfugal guns and hundreds each of
hand grenades, new explosives, mp-
chine guns, and poison gases. Many
which have strong elements of merit
are rejected because they cannct be
adopted in short time to the war exi-
gencles, or because they need many
reflnements whidch the War Depart
ment experts have no time to give.
particularly since testings and expert
mentlng often require many months.

MESSAGES OF
LUXBURC SHOW
MORE INTRIGUE
TWO OFFICIAL COMMUNICA-
TTONS SHOW THAT GERMANY
PLANNED AN INVASION OF
SOUTHERN BRAZIL SHORTLY.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, Oct. 30.-Two more of
the notorious Count Won Luxburg's
messages to the German foreign Of
flee from Buenos Aires were made
public today by Secretary Lansing.
They are officially confirmation of
Germany's plan to control southern
Brazil. They shed light on Teutonic
intrigue in South America, and reveal
that Luxburg appealed vainly for a
squadron of submarines, with which
some of the Latin Americans would
flatter others with salutes.
One message said:
"Our attitude towards Brazil has
created an impression that our easy
going good nature can be counted on.
This is dangerous in South America,
where people are under the thin
veneer of Indians, and a submarine
squadron with full power to me might
save the situation"
In another he said:
Il am convinced that we will be
able to. carry through our principal
political aims in South America. The
maintenance of an open market lin
Argentina and reorganization of
south Brazil are equally we'll, wheth-
er with or against Argentina

AUTO TEST CASE
BE ARGUED TODAY

At 10 o'clock this morning the ap-
plication for a writ of habeas corpus
filed in the case brought by local mo-
torists to test the validity of the new
city tax on automobiles is returnable
before Judge c. Moreno Jones in the
Court of Record.
The case was started last Satur-
day, when George p. Wentworth. a
member of the Automobile Associa-
ton, was arrested, under arrange
ments previously made, for non-pay-
ment of the city license tax. He was
Immediately paroled in custody of
counsel, and application made for a
writ of habeas corpus.
The action is brought about by the
passage of an ordinance taxing mo-
tor cars, despite the state law ex-
empting them from all taxation ex-
cept state levies.

LAWS TECHNICALITTES
GET UNDER-BELT BLOW

Tallahassee, Oct. 30-Technicali-
ties in the law received a hard blow
today at the hands of the supreme
court, when a new trial was denied
w. /. Rhodes, convicted of assault
with intent to murder on a man
named A M: Doke, in Hillsborough
county. After the case was tried in
the lower court and Rhodes was con-
victed, it was discovered that the
indictment read Dope instead OF
'.Doke," and on this ground Rhodes
brought the case here on writ of err
ror, but the supreme court held that
a man was killed and that the techni-
cality was insufficient cause for a
new trial.
Under the rule of ''idem sonans''
(Latin meaning "same sound'), the
Judgment of the lower court was sus-
tanned.

PENNY FAMINE
EMBARRASSING IN
NEW. YORK CITY
ORDINARIL 10000, 900 ARE CAR
RIED IN SUB-TREASURY, BUT
WALL ST. MONEY HOUSE NOW
CLEAR OF LAST COPPER.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

New York, Oct. 30.--New York
faces a famine in pennies, and the
shortage has proved so embarrassing
to Martin Vogel, assistant treasurer
of the United States, that he is con-
sidering an appeal to the city's chill
dren to empty their savings banks in
order to increase the number in cir
culation.
Ordinarily the government carries
ten million pennies in stock at the
sub-treasury in Wall street, but the
institution is now swept clear of its
last copper for the first time in the
recollection of the officials.
Bankers explain the sudden popu.
larity of the penny on the ground of
increases of articles selling for odd
cents. Cigars, cigarettes, milk and
many other articles which used to be
priced with the nickel as the unit
have been advanced by a cent or two,
with the result that dealers require
ments for small change have been
augmented.
No relief has been obtained from
Philadelphia, for the government
mints are short. The mints are now
working day and night in an effort to
meet the demand.

COURT RULES ON
LIBEL ACTION
OF IMPORTANCE
JUDGE SHEPPARD HANDS DOWN
DECISION OF PARTICULAR LO.
CAL INTEREST TO MARITIME
MEN AND SHIPPERS.

In the first case Of itss kind ever
brought before the Federal Court foI
this district and one of the few cases
in the United States, Judge William
B. Sheppard decided yesterday that
the master of a domestic vessel has
lien for wages, and overruled 'eX-
ception to the libel of John William
Mcleod VS.. the American schooner
George j. Boyce.
The case was brought before Judge
Sheppard on exceptions to the libel
of Captain Mcleod, who libelled the
boat for wages, the respondent claim
ing that the master Of the vessel has
no lien for wages.
In overruling the exceptions Judge
Sheppard held that while maritime
law does not recognize a masters
lien, the admiralty jurisdiction will
enforce the lien given by the state
statues. The laws of Florida and Ala
bama both provide for the lien of
the master, and the admiralty has
long recognized the lien for material
and supplies created by state statutes.
Congress, by act of 1910, passed a
general lien law for material and sup
plies on both domestic and foreign
vessels, which supersedes by its terms
all state statutes, but expressly rec
ognizes the rank and priority of liens
given by state tatutes.
This recognition by Congress of
the right of the several states to leg
islate upon the subject impliedly rec
ognizes the authority of the states to
regulate the rank and priority of
such liens. Ensemble, state statutes
may create lien for wages which a
court of admiralty will enforce.
Robert H. Anderson is proctor for
libellant, while the respondent is rep
resented by Watson & Pasco.

Cadorna. Bringing Every
Effort to Retard Force
full German Advance :.
CAVALRY IN CLOSE
TOUCH WITH ENEMY
Teutons, However. Despite
!. Resistance Have Reached
and now occupy Udine
ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY

ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY
General Cadorna is bringing every
effort to retard the forceful Austro-
German advance on the IsonZo front
while he effects retirement to the
strong lire of the Tagliamento river.
His cavalry is reported today in close
touch with the enemy, who has been
further hampered in this forward
movement by the strong resistance
of the Italian rear guards and the de-
struction of the bridges over the
sIsonZo.
The Teutonic center, which yester-
day was reported nearing Udine. the
former Italian general headquarters,
has now entered that place. More
menacing TO Cadorna's purposes than
:. this movement, however, seems the
tnrust on his left flank against the
upper reaches of the Tagliamento.
The hope of the German command
apparently is to reach this northern
section of the intended line and turn
il before the more southerly Italian
forces can fall back to the river and
establish themselves there. Berlin
indicates a steady advance by the
Austro-German columns toward this
objective
The battle of Flanders was re-
sumed by the infantry this morning,
when the British moved forward to
the attack north of the Ypres- Roulers
railroad. Field Mashasl Haig an
nounced the renewal of the offensive
in his usual laconic style, adding
merely that the troops were reported
70 be making good progress.
The line of attack takes in the
Passchaendele region, where the re-
mainder of the ridge of that name
and the town itself are nearby Brit
ish detectives. The thrust here s
also carrying the entente forces on a
direct line toward the railway juno
ton point at Roulers, approximately
five miles ditsant.
On the Aisne front in northern
France, where the French in their re-
cent advance Southwest of Laon have
ieopardized the safety of a consid-
cradle section of the German lines,
the Germans delivered an attack last
night in an effort to push back the
French in the region of Cerney. The
French easily repulsed this assault.
The artillery battle is continuing in
the sector in which the French made
their advance where the hostile forces
are now lined up on opposite sides
OF the Oise-Aisne canal. In the Ver-
dun region General Petain's troops
last night regained more of the small
strip of ground lost in a recent Ger
man assault in the Caurieres wood
sector east of the Meuse.
