JAPAN REVEALS

War Expert Perceives Japs Are
Trying To Rush Things.
Considering Relations With
Russia Broken, Poor Ruse.
JAPS DENY ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Claims She Merely Asked Allies

JAPS DENY ACKNOWLEDGMENT

New York, March Japan shows
evidence of trying to rush the allies
into quick assent to her proposal
for invading Siberia on an underlined
mission.
Today's United Press dispatch from
Toxic announcing that official circles
interpret the withdrawal of the diplo-
matte corps from Petrograd as tanta-
mount to breaking diplomatic rela-
tions, indicates that Japan wants to
go to war with Russia, instead of try
ing to end Russia's difficulties.
Only for the purpose of serving an
Interior design can the departure of
the allies diplomats from Petrograd
be made to imply diplomatic break
with Russia. Nobody suggested when
the French government moved from
Paris to Bordeaux that a similar mi
grafton by the allied diplomatic corps
would mean a diplomatic break by the
allies with France.
Is Secret Diplomacy at Work?
Seemingly the only reason Japanese
officials can have for taking this
strange attitude toward events in
the part of these officials to regard
Russia as a formal enemy. The exist
ence of this desire in Toxic is mat
ter for serious consideration If
Japan sends a military expedition into
Siberia, it cannot be claimed at some
later time that the Japanese were not
known to have belligerent desires to-
ward the Russians.
1t is impossible to avoid an uneasy
feeling that the cid style secret diplo-
macy may again be a work in the far
east, melted by the apparent ease with
which territorial spoils can be secured.
No. action by any of the allies in
Russia ought TO be taken as the re-
suit of secret agreement The time
to start the new open diplomacy at
work is now

(First Lieutenant in America c. A. c., for

A scuffling shuttle of feet came up
the road. "Augen Rechts" the sharp
command rang out and awakened me
from the dream I was in. I turned to
see a company of figures dressed in
green uniform, marching by. The
"P. G." stenciled on their backs with
white paint indicated their status as
German prisoners of war. Each head
was turned in my direction and in ad-
vance of the column stiffly walked a
young man in the uniform of an Off
Ger. He marched at the salute. II
was he who had given the command
1t was unusual for the German
officers to call upon the men in their
charge to give honors to American
officers, but this one as he passed
slowly and with much gravity, winked
one eye. That wink made me curious
so l inquired about him.
July, 1914, he had been a sergeant
in the United States army. In August
the same year, he was listed as a de-
serter from that same force of men.
He was captured on the Somme, early
in 1917 and here he was acting as a
straw boss for the French. OF course
he had a blue clad and rifle armed
sentry to see to it that there was no
foolishness Every morning at six
O'Clock he routs out his men and sees
to it that they eat. Then he takes
them to their work. Should anything
go wrong he would be the one pun
ished. Were he not a prisoner of war
he would be arrested for desertion
from the U. S. army. No wonder he
winked.

to see some of the men of my battery

with a German prisoner who needed

hardly looked at me but as soon as
the sentry had left him and zone 1nte

said in very good English:

Federal Court Holds Patents
Are No Good.
The Principles Involved Were
Known to AncientS.
IT MEANS MUCH TO KANSAS
State Will Save Thousands of
Dollars in Royalties.
Luten Has Charged 10 Per Cent
of Cost of All Bridges.

Patents claimed by Daniel B. Luten,
the aridge king, on reinforced con-
crete bridges and arches are held in
valid In Kansas for lack of invention
in decision handed down in the
United States district court by Judge
John C. Pollock and filed today in
topeka.
Judge Pollock's decision is sweep
ing enough to cover dozens of bridge
patent suits in Kansas and nearby
states, despite the fact that it is the
outgrowth of a single litigation, the
suit brought by Luten against Arthur
E. Allen and w. S. Fulton of the firm
the construction of the JOSS bridge
ove4, Vassar creek in Shawnee county.
In his suit Luten charged the con-
tractors with violating his patents. At
torneys for the defendants filed a mo-
ton to dismiss the case and Judge
Pollock sustained the motion. The
dismissal of the case means the dis
missl of all similar cases, ending,
insofar as the district court is con-
cerned, the long and tangled Luten
litigation il Kansas
The question at ISSUE" says Judge
Pollock in a rather lengthy opinion
which constitutes his decision, 'is, are
the claims of the patents invalid for
want of invention at the time the
patent was applied for and issued?"
Then the federal jurist cites num-
erous authorities an answer to the
ISSUE The Luten patents, he asserts,
cover nothing new in the art of build
ing arches, culvertS and bridges. The
idea has been used by the ancients. he
declared, and has been used since the
time of the ancients as common
knowledge of craftsmen. The work,
it is held, was not new when the pat
ents were obtained. 1t was known
terial could be used to reinforce con-
, crete, the opinion says. AS a whole,
it is held that the patents cover a
thing that is.-a-s matter of common
knowledge.
1.-The patents would be valid" Judge
Pollock holds, ''if they were on a new
combination of old elements or in
gradients" and in making his conclu-
sion of the case he says:
From study of the authorities, 1
am of the opinion all the claims of
the patent involved in tbs case dis
close is a mere change of place of old
elements in combination producing
perhaps better but in no sense new
result. Further, that any mechanic
of ordinary skill in the doing of the
work would have developed the
method employed from his under
standing of such matters anC in deal
ing with them.
No Monopoly Permitted.
"If this be true, as has been seen
from the authorities cited, the claims
to the patent in dispute are invalid
and confer no monopoly of right in
use upon the plaintiff. and that the
motion to dismiss must be sustained" "
Loss Of the case by Luten means
that he will lose thousands or per-
haps hundreds of thousands of dollars
annually, in royalties in Kansas. The
royalty charged by the Lrten inter-
! ests for use of their patents was 10 per
| cent of the total cost of construction.
