DR.. Davis said a German offensive

Many people have suggested to
me that If Germany really intended
an offensive she would not be talk

is a wrong theory. We heard about
the italian offensive for months be-
fore 1t began. The stories get around
in the same way and am convinced
Germany intends to strike several
hard blows even If she does not have
an idea Of definitely breaking the al

Applies for Two Patents.

T. F. Conner, of this city has
made application at Washington for
two patents, which we believe will
result in something very good for
him. He has invented a quick ac-
ton wrench, a sample of which was
submitted to the quartermaster gen
eral of the Army at Washington, and
he has approved of it to this extent
that he couldn't consider it unless
arrangements were made to manu-
facture it in quantities. The other
patent is a rear light for autOmo-
biles. In backing up cars in dark
places, light is turned on, which
works automatically when the shift
ing lever is in a reverse condition
and it lights without any effort on
the part of the driver.
