w NAStllNNfIONs Jan. 1ls
There has appeared in washing
ton man who lays claim TO pos.
sessing power TO end the war; to know
the secret that will make unnecessary
the expenditure of toll to produce en-
orgy; to revolutionize the whole
world system of doin things; TO i'm
part to society the means by which
the now dense wildernesses may be
made habitable; by which the need for
labor will be cut in half and by which
mankind will be delivered from an
age of work and care into an era OF
case and happiness. His name is
Garabed r. X. Giragossian.
This man has persuaded Congress
10 shatter all precedent by passing a
Joint resolution granting him an abso.
Lutte and iron-bound patent on his
discovery on one conditlon-that the
Government of the United States may
have the use of 1t free Of all charge
in the event that commission of
scientists, provided in the measure,
makes a report that what Giragossian
has discovered is of use to society.
If what Mr.. Giragossian says Is
true. all the discoveries and invoir
tions of the ages are as nothing In
value to mankind wnen compared
with what can be accomplished by the
machine called the "Gurabed."
To be concise, the "Garabed." ac
cording to itS inventor, is capable OF
producing and concentrating bound
less force with the eXpediture OF no
| energy whatever, save the weat and
! tear upon the machine. Coal Is rele
/ gated to the realm OF uselessness and
| human labor is to become TO a large
| extent unnecessary.
! The force which will be concentrated
/ and driven by the "Garabed," says It's
/ discoverer, Is greater than any force
| now known, and, for that reason. is ir-
| resistible by any force now employed
| Therefore, he asserts, this war can bt
/ won by the United States in shol'
| time by the use OF this as yet unre
vealed force to crush the forces en-
ployed by the enemy.
"For instance" to quote him. "10(
| airplanes Of tremendous size and pro
portions, capable CT developing 1900
or 10000 or even 10000 horsepower
and able TO remain in flight indeti
/ nitely to carry vast cargoes, coul'
easily defeat Germany in shor
time"
At present the machine is dismantle'
and the parts are hidden in a numbe
Of different cities. He declares 1t cal
be assembled in twenty-four hours.
/ Giragossian, whether or not he Is TN
deliverer of mankind, has the qualit,
of believing in himself and the powe
of compelling belief in himself b,
others.
Regarded as a fanatic by many Ser
ators and Representatives when h
first appeared on Capitol Hill, Girago'
sian now possesses the, deepest respec
of the very same men. They hav
been converted from skeptics an
cynics into a group of hopeful belie'
ers.
President Wilson himself has foun
time to listen to Giragossian. Th
President is the one man to whoI
Giragossian has offered to conflde HI
secret He offered TO take his mi
, chine to the White House. but til
, President took the position that ]
= would be the only person in the worl
: outside of Giragossian, to know IL
secret, and that If. by any ehanc
, others learned II, he would seem
have proved unworthy of the conf
dence. 1t was a responsibility th
President felt disinclined to assum
