SAYS KAISER'S DEFEAT IS
TO OCCUR MUCH SOON
Err THAN EXPECTED

Los Angeles. July 3.-"Kaiscf
Wilhelm's dream is already shat
tered. He hoped for a near-east
empire in Mesopotamia. He ex-
pected to occupy Asia Minor and
have world dominion through this
source. However, he reckoned
without the aid of the civilized
world"
SO declared Northumberland
J. l.. Wardlaw Milne, of the In
dian Defense Force, who is visit

ne insists that the Turk is more
of a man than the average Hun.
"'The Turk" said Colonel Mil
ne, "has not committed the fear
full atrocities that marked the
warfare in Belgium and France
of the Germans"
Until recently Colonel Milne
was in charge of the British gar
rison at Bombay.
"All OF Mesopotamia," said Col
onel Milne, "is mined and thous-
ands of troops are in battle, fight
ing as fercely as on the western
front. We have endured every
hardship in the trenches that the
men have in France. Indian
troops are fighting shoulder to
shoulder with the British and |
want to say that there are no
better fighters in the world than
these men.
"The Kaiser is licked. The
people of Mesopotamia know it.
He has shot his bolt 50 far as
Mesopotamia is concerned, and
it is only question of time until
his troops are licked to fragile
on the western front. And this
defeat is coming sooner than
most people expect"

Old "Ohio connany."

The so-called ohio company Of
early times was organized in Boston
In 1856 for the purpose of buying gov
eminent land and founding a settle

1887 its agenH contracted with con-
gress for 100000 acres OF land and

Where Ancients Exceiled.

Although tunneling is among the
most ancient of enterprises, more pro-

the Theban kings the long tunnel into

The Spirit Of Entertainment.

Today the Columbia Country Club. Chevy Chase,
is host to the public. Its doors are open to all
strangers Its magnificent grounds extend well
come to all who wish to escape the heat of the
city, the monotony of the office, and enjoy day in
the great outdoors. The Columbia Country Club
extends the open hand of hospitality.
Washington is working under the strain of win
ming the war. To maintain our highest efficiency
we must relax. Nature calls for diversion. All
have become pleasure and amusement seekers.
Many complain. To many Washington is dead,
cold.
But the spirit of entertainment should be every
where.
Why should the most magnificent city in the
world be without entertainment?
In holding open house to the public today, the
Columbia Country Club is setting precedent that
is as sensible as it is novel, 1t is promoting COM
munity spirit in the right way. It provides enter
tainment of high character and sends forth a
common invitation for all to come and share in its
enjoyment. The overworked population of the
National Capital needs to be entertained, and when
Columbia throws open its great preserve it is meet
ing the emergency Of the time in manner that is
practical and highly commcndable.

What Pershing Has Done.

Pershing remains tentative figure in the public
eye, associated with promise rather than tangible
achievement The real magnitude of the work he
accomplished in France during his first year there
remains untold story.
Much water has passed under the dam since he
arrived IN France on June IS, 1917, and 100000
more American soldiers have gone over the ocean
The fulfiment of pledge that all the resources
OF our country should be devoted to the war has
begun to take form in which the most sceptical
must recognize its sincerity. In the period of
reaGgnment, of Transformation from a peace basis
to military basis, have made not few mis-
steps and been called on to endure some embarrass-
ing failures But at time has there been the
slightest suggestion of faintheartedness here or of
lessening determination among our people As
the force under Gen. Pershing has grown in num-
Der until now it constitutes formidable army

so national understanding of the mission we have
undertaken has expanded, and the popular will to
persist to complete triumph for right and Justice
and safety has been strengthened

Sometimes II Worked.

Speaking at dinner, Senator John B. Kendrick,
of Wyoming, said that little effort is occasionally
productive OF big results and told the following
story as an illustration:
One evening an elderly lady was passing down
the street when she was attracted by small boy
who was standing in front of a house crying in
a voice that could be heard above the din of the
trucks and flvvers.
What is the matter, little boy?" asked the
self?"
"No ma'am," answered the youngster. 'Pa and
ma just told me that they wouldn't take me to the
movies"
"But you shouldn't make such a noise" admon-
ished the woman. "Do they ever take you when
you cry like that"
Sometime they do and sometimes they don't"
responded the boy, "but it amt trouble to yell"

Improved Projecting Machine.

To provide fickerless moving pic.
lures is the object of a new projection
machine illustrated in the Popular
Mechanics Magazine. The goal Is one
that many inventors have striven to
reach. and Of course holds interesting
possibilities. The latest scheme, like
certain previous ones, arranges for q
constantly uniform movement of the
film instead of the intermittent mo-
ton now universally used. This is ac-
complished by employment between
the lenses Of an oscillating prismatic
reflector that moves in synchronism
with the film and compensates for the
interval of time in which the change
from one picture to the next is made
The reflector is arranged for adjust
ment 80 as to regulate the distance
between 1t and the film. This also
entails regulation of the oscillating
movement, for the angle required de-
pends upon the distance between the
two members. The movement of the
reflector is what holds the projected
image steady on the screen. despite
the constant meyement Of the flm.

Signal System for Hospitals.

Better service for hospital patients
and saving of many steps for nurses
are advantages provided for in a new
electrical signal system for hospitals,
described in the Popular Mechanics
The system can be installed
with little difficulty in an old hospi-
tai. If desired, and is entirely suited
for use in field hospitals. Beside each
bed Is a push button and a small box
like indicator supported on a bracket
extending from the wall. Installed in
the nurses station is a signal board
divided into panels. one for each pa
TENTS bed.
Pressing the button causes the indi-
Gator at the bedside and a correspond
ing indicator in the nurses station to
register one of four or five wants such
as water" nurse" etc, according
to the number of times the button is
pressed. Besides saving time, the sys-
tenn prevents any dispute between pa
tient and nurse as to the signal given.
In case several calls come in at the
same time this apparatus enables the
nurse on duty to give preference to
the patient whose need is most urgent.

Foch Was Ready.

The general progress of the newest drive for
Paris fits in completely with the indications of its
predecessors. 1t has been launched in the area of
most direct attack upon the French capital. Its
maximum aim is the capture of the city, but most
likely this really formed with distinct hope
but is rather entertained a vague aspiration.
The minimum purpose is probably to reform the
curve from Montdidier to Chateau Therry con-
verting into blunt salient the depression in the
German line previously existing.
This result would greatly increase the pressure
upon ally resources 1t would establish the front
Paris as to constitute daily, hourly
ace daily, hourly prospect of new drive on the
grand scale. The initial which such blow
usually achieves might easily bring Paris within
range OF such guns as have been used to lombard
Dunkirk and Calais, calamity in itself, and, obvi-
ously one more rush might bring the Germans to
the suburbs and presently into the city.
From this point of view the present operations

haps the most critical of the since the Battle
of the Marine. Plainly Gen. Foch realizes this He
realized it before the drive began for quite evil
IDENTIFY he had made great special preparation for it.
The Germans attacked. according to all accounts,
with force and fury surprising their earlier
drives toward Amiens and the Scissors Rheims
front. The fact that their progress was extremely
slow from the outset and that it was retarded al
most to the point within three days, the fact

character both in point of numbers and means of

This view is supported by the reports of the

the New York Evening Sun. They seem to have

has at last reached the Congressional
Record. 1t was inserted on the House
side at the request OF Congressman
Reavis. 1t will therefore be available

For a document which presents sue
cinct reasons for evasion of politics in

nowhere does there creep out the
least suggestion that any distinct gain
can come to the people by deposing
Democrats and putting Republicans
in power. There Is little in IT, in fact,
to be conclusive to a voter as to why
he should do anything particularly
helpful by changing horses just now.
No doubt there are reasons why in
dividual Democrats here and there

be beaten-but the same Ia true of
Republican candidates. In short, Sem
ator Lenroot's speech shows Just how
hard 1t is for either Democrats or

best dispose Of it at once and put it
back on the States to dispose of when

There are men opposing 1t, however,
who say that there is no great call
for Congressional action-that the
States have the power in the first in
stance to give constitutional suffrage
to the ladies and that IL the States
are willing to do this it can be done
without any Congressional attention
whatsoever. The ladies have adopted
this course. however, and they bid
fair to follow 1t to the bitter end.

con6de this crucial matter of the defense of Paris
to none but the most seasoned fighters he has. He
has culled his bravest and best for the task The
more inexperienced troops are naturally put in at
less troubled points and used for duties behind

purposes.
