Aluminium Can Now Be soIdered.

The great drawback to the use of
aluminium for industrial purposes has
hitherto been that once broken or
cracked it could be mended only by
riveting or welding, costly process
for there has been no way Of solder
ing the metal. At last, however, a
solder has been found that seems to
remedy this defect. This has been
tested by the advisory panel of scien-
tific experts in the British ministry of
munitions and reported upon so favor
ably that the comptroller of munitions
has called it to the attention of the
WOolwich arsenal and other munitiOn
makers in England.
The inventor has not made public
the formula, but states that it is mere
~ an alloy Of common metals, blended
In certain proportions and applied in
the ordinary way with a torch. He
shows a series of photographs of a
large aluminium casting with a great
piece being broken out of it being
patched on, soldered and then filed
down smooth.
For welding aluminium temperature
Of more than 900 degrees Fahrenheit
IS necessary; $50 degrees suffice for
soldering.

SKETCHING AT THE FRONT
Exploding Shell spoiIs Artists Work,
but He FranticaiIy Proceeds
With New Subject.

After the battle Of Neuve-Chapelle a
few correspondents, including Elser of
the Associated Press and myself, were
taken by the British to see the ruins
of the town which they had just cap
tured. In our party was Matania, an
Italian sketch artist, whose work in
the London illustrated weeklies has
been considered the best that has ap-
peared during the war. 1t was a
cloudy day. and in the late afternoon
a rainbow appeared over the shattered
village, framing it like a proscepium
arch-a stage setting. Matania, in hot
enthusiasm, began to sketch the scene,
when a three-inch shell whistled it's
way to a spot near by and burst. The
explosion drenched the party in mud
and half covered Matania's drawing.
With an Italian expletive, the artist
tore up the drawing and began viO-
lently to sketch the shell-burst as the
fresh memory of it appeared in his
minds eye. A second and q third shell
fell near the party, and the British of
ficer ordered us to move on to another
part of the line, as the Germans had
undoubtedly found our range.
At dinner that night Matania, rum
pling his hair with excited hands, sud
denly shouted: Fool that I am Why
didn't save that mud-covered drawing
and have it published to show how
near came to being killed today p

Industries in Germany.

Notwithstanding that the two great
war loans of 1916 absorbed over q,
0O0,000,000 marks, more capital went
into German commercial companies
than in 1915. The total amount alb
sorbed by new and old companies was
G16,SOOOO0 marks. This was 14S000,-
900 marks more than for 1915, but it
was 529,000,000 less than for 1913.
The new concerns established last
year were chiefly of the war industry
class; and this is also true of capital
Increases by existing companies.

PROVES FISH CAN SMELL
Experiments Show That Fish Are At
tracted to Anglers Hook by
Odor of Bait.

A fish hasn't nose, but it can smell.
Recent experiments have proved this.
What is more, these experiments have
proved that odor travels through wa
ter, just as it does through air.
Anglers have laid so much stress on
the need of exciting a fish's interest by
the look of food that the effect of scene
has been overlooked A shark will
bite at hook containing piece of
fat pork, although the pork does not
look like any kind Of fish that swims
the sea. Why, then, should the trout
be expected to be interested only in an
artificial gray hackle?'
1t may be heresy in angling to sug
gest that a "f1y" should smell like a
fly. These scientific experiments show
how large a part smell plays in the
food pursuit of fish. Bait, such as
small crabs, was found and eaten by
the fishes two or three times as rap
idly when the shells were broken. Bait
placed inside a gauZe bag was smelled
within three minutes of being lowered
in the water, and almost at the same
time all the fishes began nibbling at
the bag. When cotton was stuffed in
to its so-called "nostrils" the dogfish
would seldom observe the food that
came near them. If they saw other
dogfsh eating, those whose nOStrilS
were stuffed would join them and take
a share in the feast, but when kept to
themselves they starved in the midst

Cambria the Opening
Of AlI-Winter Drive,
Washington Belief

WASHINGTON. Nov. 27.--The Brit
ish drive on Cambria will be followed
up relentlessly by similar ofensives
along the Western front, in the opinion
of officers familiar with what is in
prospect in France. Authoritative an
nouncement already has been made
abroad that this winter would see no
halt in operations, and with the return
of American divisional commanders
from observation tours in France it has
become certain that the French and
British armies will prosecute mid
winter campaigns such as were never
before attempted.
The British and French pressure
toward the Belgian coast is unceasing.
A new offensive effort there is expected
az a part of the whole plan on which
the Allies are engaged. Of forcing the
Germans back frcm a long section Of
the coast. where submarine bases are
located. TIE Canbrai successes have
an important bearing, in the opinion Of
officers here, on this general plan Of
accomplishing during the winter a de-
cisive result in the coastal region as
the foundation upon which next years
offensive campaign can be laid.

ROME, Nov. 27.-A mass attack in
the Brenta Valley, in which the Aus
tro- Germans used an entire division in
an effort to break through the Italian
northern front, was repulsed with Sc
we're losses to the enemy, was an
nounced to-day. Prisoners were capt
ured by the Italians.
The attack was launched after Sc
we're bombardment of the Italian posi-
tions on Col della Berretta. The de-
tenders might have been compelled TO
give way because Of the numerical su-
periority of the enemy had it not been
for the support of Sicilian troops from
the famous Aosta brigade. Parties OF
the Gath Infantry and the Brcnta Val
ley battalion of Alpini arrived in time
to make complete the repulse Of the
Teutons.
On the Asiago Plateau sector, where
heavy fighting has taken place in the
last few days, the Germans have failed
to renew their costly attacks. and in

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, Nov. 81. A new assault was
made by the British at Fontalne al
dawn, after comparatively quiet
night, and hot lighting developed imme-
diately. The Germans poured a heaVy
machine gun fire against the British
from the windows, and roofs OF build
ings. and a large concentration OF
enemy machine guns in La Folie WOOD,
southeast of Fontaine, was also brought
into action against the attacking troops
This machine gun fire presented the
main difficulty to the advance, for the
Germans in the hamlet were WORKING
from behind walls and other cover
while il was necessary for the British
TO charge across more or less open
stretches, giving the enemy good
chance TO sweep their ranks with an IN
tense fire.
The battle on the southern edge OF
Bourbon village continued last night.
Az result of determined drive
against the German line the britlsh
were enabled to break through at one
point and bring back party OF Eng
iish troops that had been holding out
in the southern part of the hamlet and
had been isolated for some time. No
attempt was made to remain in the
village after this body Of men had been
rescued and got back through the gap
in the German line. IL was reported
this morning that another body Of
British troops was holding o position
in the northern section OF the village
with Germans all about them. But this
is uncertain.
Late yesterday heavy storms set in.
II rained torrents most of the night,
and for a time this turned TO snow,
small patches of which are still to be
seen. The rain continued to-day, max
ing the position Of the troops operating
in the new territory most uncomfort-
able.

BERLIN, Sunday, Nov. %, via Lon.

American troops in action says:
Independent American units have
been thrown into the trench line. The
felt hat has given way to the English.
fashioned steel helmet, and the whist.
ling and bursting Of the shells have be-
come familiar sounds to American ears
"For the first time since they have
been participating as independent con
tingents, the Americans have tasted the
real earnestness of war, even though
it was but minor hand-to-hand scuf-
fe. But this time the shells did not
merely fly over their heads, but into the
very trenches they had selected, and
presently, with an internal noise, these
things which the young soldiers be-
lieved to be firm protection began to
quake and burst.
And hard on the heels of this a
firm attack by our onrushing Bavarian
reserves forced the way into the Amer
lean trenches, and musket shots and
bursting hand grenades relieved the
artillery fire.
Our new opponents made a most de-
termined defence, and desperate hand
to-hand fighting set in. Butts of guns,
fists and hand grenades were freely
brought into play. and many men fell
to the ground before the rest gave up
resistance and surrendered. After a
bare hour the German storming troops
were back in their own trenches with
booty and prisoners.
There they stood before US, these
young men from the land of liberty
They were sturdy and sportsmanlike in
build. Good natured smiles radiated
from their blue eyes, and they were
quite surprised that we did not pro-
pose TO shoot them down. as they had
been led in the French training camp
to believe we would do.
They know no reply TO our query:
why does the United States carry on
war against Germany The sinking of
American ships by U-boats, which was
the favorite preteXt, sounds trife
stale. One prisoner expressed the opin-
ion that we had treated Belgium rather
badly. Another asserted that it was
Lafayette who brought America French
aid in the War of independence, and
because of this the United States would
now stand by France"

fl WASHINGTON, Nov. 27. - Surgeon
General Gorgas tonight announced the
selection of Fox Hills, Staten Island
as the site of a military receiving hos
pital from which wounded American
soldiers will be distributed to the re-
construction and rehabilitation hos

The Staten Island institution, which
will have d capacity of from 1900 to
$500 beds, will be located on an eleva-
tion overlooking the entrance to New
York Harbor. near enough to the Quar-
antine station to make possible the
transfer os the wounded with a mini
mum OF delay.
"Tne establishment Of the receiving
hospital" said the surgeon generals

comprehensive plan that is being
worked out for the reconstruction and
rehabilitation of our soldiers who are
disabled in the line Of duty.

mental examination by medical officers,
a complete history will be made of
each case, and requirements of the in
dividual cases studied. Then, as soon
as this is completed, the men will be
transferred TO a general or special
treatment hospital.
During his stay in the hospital the
soldier will be given light work which
will aid in his convalescence, ard
where necessary because OF his disa-
bility he will be given special train
ing for new occupations under the di-
rection Of vocational experts.
"He will be ftted for trade for
which he is peculiarly adapted. and at
the time of his discharge 1t will be the
duty of the government to assist him

tions further TO supervise him until
he has been completely rehabilitated-
