WAR OF CONQUEST

Germany is waging "war of conquest" and it's victims "have been enslaved and exploited" Dep. uty Geyer, Independent Socialist asserted recently in Reichstag speech, according to the Cologne Gazette.
 "This has never been a defensive war, Geyer said; ''it was and is a war of conquest!
 "The Imperial government, he continued, ''is favoring the annexa- tionists. Russia and Rumania have been forced to sign peace of force. The peoples which were to be freed have been enslaved and exploited.
 "The government thus far has not submitted any clear ,;eace pro- gram and has not proclaimed the right of Belgium to independence and political, military and economic int gritty.
 Thus the war goes on and the end is not in sight. Profiteering and lust of conquest are holding nauseating orgies while the people are suffering from want of food More than ever it is imperative that all peoples free themselves from the forced domination of mili- tarism.
 "Proletarians of all countries unite! Down with the warn'

INVENTORS AND THE WAR

If the dreams of numerous British amateur inventors who have been besieging the Ministry of Munitions could be realized, the war would have been over long since and little would be left of the German army. Recent proposals include the follow ing, says an Associated Press cor respondent, writing from London:
 Freeze the clouds and mount ar tillery thereon.
 Train cormorants to fly to Essen to pick the mortar from krupp's walls so that they will crumble.
 Trail from balloons monster mag nets that would snatch rifles from the hands of the German soldiers.
 Perch men on shells to steer them.
 A suggestion often submitted is to attach a searchlight to an anti aircraft gun, project the light on a Gotha and shoot along the beam. Unfortunately, shells will not follow a path of light.
 Other schemes of dealing with hostile aircraft are to suspend heavy guns from captive ballons; to arm defense airplanes with scythes; to provide heat rays for setting Zeppe- lins on fire, and to cover the moon with a black balloon. To prevent polished rails shining at night and acting as a guide to enemy air craft, the last coach of the last train is to drop backing on them.
 A shell containing gravel is to lay a pathway over mud, and an other, containing an irritant powder of a sticky substance is to hamper machine guns.
 The relay shell' is favorite proposal, the plan being for shell at the height of it's flight to expel a smaller inner shell. As a shell does not point directly along its trajectory, it would be impossible to secure accuracy of aim for the second shell.
 Among the more miscellaneous projects are:

LANDLORDS ARE HELD IN CHECK
 BY DEPARTMENT

CAMP CODY, N. M.-The head quarters at Camp Cody has a hand in the regulation of rentals paid by army officers whose families live in Deming, close to the camp, under an order issued short time ago.
 The order explains that it was designed to protect the owners and landlords as we'll as the military personnell'
 Its primary object" the ex- planation continues" is to promote the efficiency of military service by avoiding the many endorsements and anxieties that inevitably attend a sudden and unregulated demand upon small community for living accommodation far beyond its nor mai capacity"
 The order prohibits officers and enlisted men from bringing their families to the vicinity of the camp without having obtained permission from the camp commander on pen atty of being deprived of the priv ilege of absenting themselves from the camp to visit their families. This of course, applied only to those who contemplated bringing their families to the vicinity of the camp for resi- dence
 Permission, the order added, would be subject to. the condition that the officers or enlisted men could get quarters for their families in ad- vance of their arrival lat reason able rental, and under written legal agreement satisfactory to the camp commander covering period of at least six months" These agreements, the order specified, must contain a provision that if the station of the renter was changed by proper military orders before the expiration of the period covered by the agreement, the arrangement might be terminated upon one week s notice Wy the tenant to the landlord. accompanied by a copy of the order transferring him from the camp.
 The order provided for the ap- pointment by the camp commander of a board of officers charged with the duty of maintaining a record of rentals and for the cooperation of the board with the Deming Chamber of Commerce ito regulate rentals to fair and just return upon the proper investment, based upon a reasonable advance over the normal ante-war rentals in Deming.
