GUARDED LIKE a c,rA DEL

This laboratory : now perhaps the

electric and mechanical alarms as Intri-

secrecy Is that the element of surprise
is essential TO the success OF gas warfare
Everything depends upon suddenly at

gas against which he has no protection
That is why the first gas attack of the
Germans. launched UNEXPECTEDLY at Ypres
during the first year OF the war, stIll holds

| Then the attack came; the British and
/ Canadians were caught unprotected on
the field and died like 80 many chloro-
formed flies The Germans claimed ten
thousand killed and taken prisoners.

and thiosulfate chemicals atfording
protection against chlorine, Such pads
we're packed in boxes in the trenches,
and at the first hint of gas attack the
men would rush to these boxes, grab the
pads and insert them into their mouths.
But since the same men were not able
always to use the same pads, this form OF
gas mask soon became extremely I'M

OUTLOOK IS GLOOMY
FOR FOOTBALL FANS
Present Indications Point To
But Two Games Here
This Year

Present indications point to a ques-
tiOn mark principally when football
fans ask when the Mt. Vernon high
school eleven will play game here.
There probably will not be over two
games played here. However. the
game with AcQuinas of Columbus two
weeks from Saturday and the Thanks
giving game which is to he played
here surely between the high school
aggregation and the Newark high
school squad
Saturday the local team goes to
Cambridge where II will meet the
Cambridge high school team on the
gridirOn.
A week from Saturday the Mt. Yer
non eleven will play at Delaware
against the Delaware high school
gridders. This will probably be one
OF the most holly contested games Of
the season as the two teams which
will meet then on the Delaware field
are about as evenly matched as any
two in this part OF the state.
Acqufnas is usually credited with a
strong eleven and this year seems to
be no exception. Newark also plays
a strong game.

YANK INVENTS AERO
PHONE, BATTLES FOE.

New York, Nov. 26.-One of the
most amazing inventions that helped
win the war for the allies-the air.
plane wireless telephone was the
achievement of an American. He is
Col. G. G. Culver, now stationed in
Washington.
John D. Ryan, director of aircraft
production, has allowed some details
of this marvellous mechanism to be-
come known, but not all, according to
information from Washington today
The Germans were completely baffl-
ed after the aerophone was installed
on American planes, which account
ed for such marvellous series of air
victories on the American front in the
closing days of the war. The Ameri-
can. aviators were directed from the
ground. The mechanism is of such
nature that the human voice, when
transmitted to or from an aeroplane
can be plainly heard above the roar
of the motor.
The first tests were made at San
Diego, Calf, and the wireless tele-
phone was employed in active service
on the western battle front for some
weeks before the armistice was sign
ed.
The wireless phone can be worked
over a distance of several miles, it is
understood.

CARY WARNS OF GERMAN
IDEA OF EDUCATION.

Madison, Wis.-Supt C. P. Cary
charges the "Prussianizing of Ameri-
can education" He quotes extensive
ly from German authorities to show
that the system of education has the
ear-marks of the German plan. He
says:
Children of the laboring classes,
who constitute about 80 per cent of
the people in Germany, get no high
school education.
"A superintendent in Wisconsin
said to me: The continuation school
as it is now developing is a fraud The
laboring people are led to believe that
they can take their children out of
the public school where they are get
ting all-day instruction and, at IA, put
them to work SO that they may be
earning money and at the same time
get all the schooling they need in the
part-time school, He added that he
could see that the idea was spreading
rapidly and in his city that children
did not need more schooling than they
could get in the first eight grades to-
gether with degree of skill in some
form of work in a shop or factory 1t
viii be observed that this is precise
ly the caste idea in education as found
in Germany
What do I mean by Prussianizing
our education? / mean principally
this: 1) A subtle, even is uncon-
scious, attempt to use the children of
the laaboring people, including farm
ers, as cogs in a machine; an attempt
to follow the lead of the caste system
in Germany, a system which defrauds
children Of an opportunity for sec
ondary education and practically
dooms nine-tenths of the people to be
and to remain hewers of wood and
drawers of water; (2) a division of
the school system into two parts, each
striving for financial support and de-
veloping rivalries of pernicious
kind. It should be noted that in
Prussia there is no rivalry between
the two systems, for everybody who
counts comedies that when the chill
dren of the common people finish the
common school there is nothing more
for them but toll and the army. There
is no good reason why school men
should direct the continuation schools
in country like Prussia, for the more
aspiration the laboring people have
the worse off they are. May such
never be the condition il America"

PLATTEvILLE co. vALORoUs.

When the armistice was signed Co.
E was in the front ranks of the at
lacking army and had experienced 45
days of continuous fighting. They
were the first artillery to cross the
Meuse river, where the Americans adj
ded new glory to their brilliant ca
reer. The experiences of Co. E will
compare favorably with any organi-
cation that went across. One of the
boys in writing tells of Bernard Karr-
man having one of the horses he was
driving cut completely in two by a
German shell and while he was not
injured was thrown in the air by the
explosion. Another tells of shell
exploding within six feet of one of
the boys, but the ground was soft and
he escaped injury.-News.

HEROES OF CHATEAU THIERRY,

Twelve tourist cars containing
wounded soldiers brought from Cha
teau Thierry and other sectors of
France to America passed through
Portage Sunday afternoon on their
way to the hospital at FIT. Smelling.
The wounds were of all manner and
degrees. Some of them had both legs
off, one with both legs and arms gone,
being moved in a basket, but he was
happy. A soldier with all his fingers
gone on one hand, pointed to his
wound and said, "This is my souven-
ir." One had the side of his head
blown away, others the chin, some
were blind in one eye, and many tooth
less, the result of mustard gas. Most
of them were able to walk and were
not visably affected, looking fat and
healthy.

The Nations Business.

Pontius PLATE, like many others
whose names are written in history,
never lived to see some of his pro-
jects carried to conclusion. Although
one of his dreams was a. water sys-
tenn for Jerusalem, the ancient city
has running water for the first time.
Six weeks after the British captured
the city they had repaired and COM
pleted the reservoirs and the fifteen
miles of old aqueducts that PLATE had
begun but never finished because the
home government at Rome grew sus-
picious of the sums Governor PLATE
was spending and recalled him before
the water was started. The British
army engineers finished the job near
ly 1000 years after, and Jerusalem is
getting water from the same springs
and in the same way the specifica-
tions called for by Pilates old en-
gineers.
