LONDON, Sept, TO- British Wireless Service)- British tanks uprooted whole French village to stop the fire of German machine guns from the houses in the re- cent Allied offensive
 The French troops had been seriously hampered by the German machine guns in on the tops of the houses Tanks in the vicinity and message was sent to them for assistance These complied but the German machine guns were too well protected to be knocked out by the fire from the tank guns Accordingy the tank commanders conferred at the far end of the village and decided in hurried mpromptu war council to destroy the village by sheer weight of metal.
 The tanks accordingly rammed house after house. bringing down the machine guns extrcatng themselves from the ruins of house. then proceeding to the next In this way the village capturedw ithout single Br tsh casualty and at once occupied by the French.

NEW LIQUID FIRE INVENTED BY
 ALASKAN

WASHINGTON, Sept. lO--Edward C. Strum of Council City, Alaska, Is m Washington and is having a varied experience. Mir. Strum came hel1 with an invention of his own covering not only liquid fire for use in battle put also with new ideas originating Nith him in the matter of contalnel' for the liquid and novel arrange ment for the attachment and quick detachment of the containers from the bottom of an airplane. In fact, liS invention covered the entire fieid of operating quickly and unerlngIy with liquid fire from the clouds to the earth. governed by scientific princi- oles which Mir. Strum had figured out o a nicety.
 Probably to the layman and to the military sharp the most interesting part of his apparatus was his original Idea of attaching the glass containers to the under portion of plane by a system of electric wires which would liberate them singly or in groups from any height, at the same time ig" hitting primer which would light the ire at any desired point in the down ward flight of the containers and eau SC devastating flame to break forth upon given acreage, destroying whatever came in contact with It.
 During the first two or three days after Mir. Strum's arrival in Washing con he Succumbed to the heat and was quite ill; in fact he experienced ! slight specimen of the effect of his own invention. On his recovery, how yer, he placed his ideas before the
 my officers interested in such mat
 .is and was accorded very flatter- .ng reception. He was given a test, but that test included only an inveS- tigation of his particular brand ot liquid fire, by chemist, no attention being paid to his more valuable olgl' nations with reference to the contain CTS. As far as the liguid was con- ,erned the chemist decided in favor of the mixture of another man, with Mir. Stums as second choice. He re- fused, of course, to make any state ment as to Mir. Stlum's other inven- tonS, as those matters pertain to sep crate bureaus and investigators. M". Strum expects to be able to show his remaining inventions in favorable light, and if he does he will then be compelled to go through the process of bargaining with the governm ent for their use. This is the most diSa- greeable and often most disappointing procedure with which an inventor has to do.
 Mir. Strlm also brought with him several letters from parties in Alaska to Secretary of the Interior Lane with reference to the alleged abuse of the reindeer situation there, which will ,roDably be made the foundation for an investigation of the entire ques- ton.

MIGHT BE OF VALUE TO HUNS
Some Real Object in Their Learning
the Meaning Of Good Old Ameri-
can Word "Nuf!"

In the halcyon days Of youth and
the country school, when two lads
had an argument that could only
be settled by resort to fists, and all
the boys foregathcred in the wood
lot adjoining the school to witness
the affair, there was just one good
old American word that ended the
debate. The boy on his back with
streaming nose and battered optics
yelled "Nulfp Then the victor let
him up, and further hostilities were
called off until the loser had gained
in weight and agility.
There is a legend of Aguinaldo,
handed down from Spanish war
days, to the effect that when the
American ,bantamweight, Funston,
was pressing him hard, the Filipino
leader sent his secretary foraging
through the small domain still under
his control for an English dictionary.
lie finally returned with the precious
book, but could not find the word he
wanted. 1t was "NuT."
There is a suggestion here for sur
rendering Germans. With their OBJ
session for efficiency, it is a reproach
to them that they have not thought
of it before. Instead of yelling
'Kamcrad," let them substitute
"Null." 1t is two syllables shorter
Our lads are terribly quick on the
trigger, and many man has un-
doubtedly lost his life while yam
mering out these extra syllables.-

THE GREAT LAKES.

Great Lakes has some sweet tooth.
Possibly it is just as well that there
are no sugar bowls on the tables in
the mess halls at the naval training
station, for Jack evidently gets his
share of sugar in other forms.
During the past three months rec
ords show that the sailors have spent
$4,000 for candy. This amount
buys on the average of $4,000 pieces
of bar candy every week, not count
ing 10000 bars of chocolate, 10000
boxes Of crackeriack and $4,000
packages Of cookies and cakes in the
same length Of time. In seven days
about 10000 cigars and 14,4OO
packages of tobacco are sold, not to
mention the 100000 boxes Of
matches.
A Is per cent profit is made on all
articles sold in ships stores and the
proceeds go into the athletic associa'
ton fund.

THE FAITHFUL ANERoID.

A pilot left his aerodrome for a
cross-country flight on a very misty
day, and carefully set his aneroid.
After flying for a couple Of hours by
compass he thought he must be near
ing his destination. He could see
nothing below him and so descended
to 500 feet. On he flew at this
height for another five minutes. De-
Gliding to land, he was about to make
magnificent volplane, when sud-
denly the mist cleared and he saw
the ground Immediately underneath
him, about ten feet below. His
faithful aneroid still insisted that
he was 500 feet high. The eXplana-
tion lay in the fact that the place
where he was about to land was SOC
feet higher above sea level than the
aerodrome whence he set out. TrifleS
like this are all in the days work.

The birds and animals do not use
great many words or sounds, but
they can certainly understand each
other, writes George f. Burba in the
Columbus Dispatch. That is, they are
able to converse with each other to
some extent. There isn't any doubt
about 1t. They have their alarms OF
danger; they have their distress calls;
they have their softer tones OF aifcc-
ton.
