 Pittsburgh let George Gibson out in. New York took Gibson in because he was out. George may be an ir- and-outer. but his seasons work does not show it.
 After watching the Braves perform in Cincinnati Hank Gowdy, the Tribes former catcher, says he returns to his post in the army well satisfied with his new position. s5- It has been said that the old pastime would be benefited of the White Sox instead of the Red Sox would grab A.

 Perhaps the Pirates have claimed exemption from serving in the Ma tional league pennant race. Then, again, it looks very much as if they were never even registered.
 Several of the Red Sox became so badly sunburned recently while fish ing on Sunday that they had to lay off pastiming for several days. Man ager Barry has picked out fish mar ket for the Sox to patronize hereafter.

The Mystery Explained.

Clifton Hess. an employee Of the
Pennsylvania railroad at Shelbyviile,
Ind, relates the Indianapolis News,
looked out the window of the freight
depot the other day and noticed a
woman. A half hour later he looked
again and still saw the woman. She
had changed her position only slightly,
moving down the railroad track few
feet. She seemed to be strolling leis-
urely along, covering about foot a
minute.
Curious to determine the reason for
her actions, Hess walked outside to
get a better view. Then it was all
explained. The woman had big
Rhode Island Red rooster with a
string tied to his leg. There had
evidently been lcaky car of wheat
along the railroad, and the rooster, OBJ
livious to all else, was calmly filling
his craw while the woman kept up
with the procession.
Later on during the day the good
news must have spread, for there ap-
peared on the scene several other
chickens with owners attached to
them by strings. AS the ground be-
came clean the procession slowly
moved from view.

A NEW DESTRUCTIVE RAY

~ HE world knows that the
VI Zeppelin raids have
proven a failure but eX-
act information is lacking as
to the precise means by which
the English accomplished their
end. Light on the subject is
thrown by contribution to- the
Popular Mechanics Magazine
by Frank O'Callaghan.
The following is from Mr..
O'Callaghan's statement:
About a year ago a sensa-
ton was produced in Ireland
by an announcement in the
press that young student of
the Hardinge Street Christian
Brothers School, Belfast, Alex
ander Corr, had, whilst ex-
perimenting in his own home,
discovered a new aniline dye,
and for this reason, and other
services~ had been awarded by
the British government an an
nual payment of 5000 pounds
1915, 700 approximately and
q permanent scientific post of
Importance in London where
he could continue his re-
searches.
Corr was credited with hav-
ing discovered a new ray by
means of which Zeppelins
could be destroyed. Experts
On science and aviation had
maintained that this represent
ed the only possible way of
dealing effectively with Yep
pelin raids over the coast de-
fenses or the inland towns of
England where ordinarily the
odds were all in favor of the
1 aiders.) Wishing to test his
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1917-04-27

the enemy's guns and when
the curtain of smoke lifted not
a live German was to be seen,
Germany is the only nation
that still attacks in close or
der, other countries having dis
carded the plan long ago.
These countries, like the Unl-
ted States, deploy their men
for battle. This generally
means two PAGES between men
with the result the enemy does
not have such a sure thing
target.
The German policy of ruth
Iessness is applied to the Ger
man soldiery as well as to the
rest of the world. 1t will be
surprising if such methods do
not assist materially in
strengthening the demand for
a German democracy in lieu
of the Prussian autocracy.

NO TIME FOR HORSE PLAY

NNA HEN the house gallery
~ yesterday hissed Repre-
sentative Mason from
| his feet that gentleman got
what was coming to him. He
was indulging in horse play at
q time when the nation has
serious business on hand.
If President Wilson is not
pushing the Roosevelt division
idea it is to his credit. Nothing
would be more ridiculous than
for this country to organize its
army on a basis of pleasing the
vanity of our leading politici-
ans. If Roosevelt is entitled to
command a division. so is Bry-
an, so Taft and others ad in
finitum. But why give such
men high positions in the army
when there are regular army
majors, colonels and generals
by the score more fitted and
more entitled to take COM
mand?
President Wilson has been
right in ignoring political
stunts and lining up congress
back of the compulsory train
ing law. 1t is the plan that will
bring home the bacon and all
people with military know
ledge realize the fact. This is
a time for efficiency and sim
cerity, not tomfoolery or poll
teal buneombe. This war is
no melodrama; we have no
time to watch people ride stick
horses across the stage while
the limelight glares upon them.
The Congressman MasOns are
entitled to scant courtesy at
times like this.

A GERMAN BLUNDER

~ FFICIENT as the German
" military machine has
been there are striking
instances of "bonehead" work
to use the vernacular. The
use of men in mass formation
instead of extended order has
most assuredly been a blunder.
On many occasions the guns of
the allies have been able to
NOW down the German ranks
like grass before the scythe.
Reports of the Arras battle,
still underway, are to the eff
feet the Teuton tactics have
been incredible. Without
sane purpose thousands of men
have been sent to quick and
certain death. On one Occa-
sion a heavy command was
sent in close formation against

discovery at home he pasted a
sheet of paper on a window at
the back of the house and
standing with his apparatus at
/ q distance of 10 feet from the
window. directed the new radi-
alton toward the sheet of pa
per. He expected to transmit
sufficient energy to ignite the
paper, Actually, the window
was blown out and a wall at
the end of the garden de-
molished.
l confess that on hearing
about the discovery | was in
clined to take it with grain of
salt. However, all who heard
the statement awaited future
Zeppelin raids over England
with interest, as we were as
sured that the new apparatus
was certain to be supplied to
all aeroplanes and anti-aircraft
suns of the Royal Garrison Ar
tillery. AS is we'll known, in
the two next attacks by air
ships the Germans lost one
over London and two in a raid
over the English midland coun-
ties, themselves admitting in
their communicates that the
British anti-aircraft defenses
were extraordinarily effect
ive." Since then no air raid
has taken place, and latest in
formation from Germany indi-
Gates that the Zeppelins have
lost the confidence of the ex-
perts as weapons of war.
From English officers in the
Royal Garrison Artillery on
visits to Dublin l have heard
that it is current gossip in Lon
don military circles that the
discovery of a young Irishman
presumably Corr was re-
sponsible for the destruction of
the Zeppelins.
