To Beat the u Boats

Wizard Edison, it is said, is closely
guarded night and day and the Edison fac
tories are kept under the closest surveil-
lance, as the allies and America arc de-
pending on Edison to devise the weapon
or the scheme whereby the growing menace
of the German submarines may be over
come.
1t may be Edison and may be some other
American; but surely this challenge to
American ingenuity and inventive genius
will not be made in vain. None of us are
ready to admit that the German scientists
and inventors can best us at this game; and
the man who guesses the answer to the
submarine riddle is going to be immortal.
That the problem must be solved quickly
is becoming more, and more apparent.
Meanwhile the nation should make the best
possible use OF the one weapon which has
been found at all effective-the submarine
chaser, If it is merely a question of num-
bers of mosquito craft we should use every
possible resource to turn them out more
rapidly and fill the seas with them and
overwhelm the submarines by sheer weight
of numbers.
No one doubts, however. that history will
repeat. itself and the latest w~ar-engine will
be met with a later defensive weapon. The
submarine is the only new weapon of the
that has stood the test OF war,
despite her ado over the undersea liner, the
Zeppelin, the "Berthas,' her trench sys-
TENS and what not. And the submarines
can be beaten. 1t is up to America.

Travis Reunion, At
Copperas Spring

Just twenty years ago this
September there was a Travis
reunion at Old Copperas Spring
in the east central part of this
county at which was assembled
something like three hundred Of
the Travis name including their
kith and kin. The Travis tribe
is unlike many people who are
|of a same name; for instance
the Browns. the Joneses, the
Smiths cant always trace a re-
lationship among themselves,
when two of the Travis name
meet it is always a brother. an
uncle or close cousin. You may
want to call them a little bit
clanish which we may be.
Atthe meeting Of twenty years
ago there was a special invita-
ton to the members of the
name who sprang from the aunt
Rachel part of the branch. but
we want a special invitation to
be given to any and all bearing
the name of Travis including all
the relations whether bearing
the name Travis or not. and to
any in or out of the county, or
the State as to that matter.
Copperas Spring is the most
ideal place for this meeting as
this is the birth place of the
name this side of the Allegheny
mountains, besides | am told
there will be protracted meet
