 Says the other side: "Germany is our permanent neighbor. Our children will have to live with Germany. and our children's children to the end of tune. War is a horrible thing. Hate breeds war. Why not then let the story Of this war and its barbarities die with this generation? Why should we Tor ever breed hate into the heart of our people to grow eternally into war?

NEW BULLET PROOF ARMOR
(Popular Science)

The soldiers of old went forth to fight, clad in cumbersome and expen- sive armor, which. while serving as protection, nevertheless hindered them from putting forth their best fighting strength. Today Martin Jelalian, an inventor of Rhode Island, has made it possible for a soldier to be protected by armor. He is one of several dozen inventors who have reinvented the coat of mail.
 The device is bullet proof metallic structure which surrounds the body and extends from the top of the shoul- ders to below the thighs. This steel coat consists of two like parts held to- gether across the chest by means of straps. Hooks attach the coat of semi cylindrical pieces of metal which fit closcely about the upper part of the leg and are fastened behind by straps. The inner surface of the armor is padded. The head is protected by a lined mask composed of the same metal.
