NEW WAR MACHINE
 IS 135 FEET LONG
Capable of Shooting 100 Miles Destroys All Within Radius of Mile

According to the Chicago Tribune, in an interview with Victor F. 4. de Brauwere, who is responsible for the inventor 10 the Allied war invention board. a new war engine has been in- vented by a Minneapolis. Minn-, man which is said to have greater powers ot destruction than any gun or device now in use.
 Will Shoot 100 Miles Of course accurate description oi the invention is not permitted, but may say that the machine is of q
 size that heretofore has been regard
 ed as a fit subject for wild fiction oi the Wells type, he said.
 The machine is 135 feet long and E its effective range is between 7o te 100 miles. At that range il will des ! troy all life within a radius of mile When say all life I mean all plan or animal life. The machine is cap able of infinite yariey Of ranges ant removes one serious drawback to al
 machines cf similar type which have been experirnented with before an' makes the idea practical
 Inventors Name Secret 'T have promised to keep the inven tors name from the public print be cause he has already been the victim of interference on the part of per sons whom he thought were not friend fly 10 the cause Of the Allies. None 0 the plans have been tempered with but other interference has beeen a' tempted.
 There is no model available an .ne plans have been deposited in safety deposit vault. Negotiation , have been conducted with the war 1T
 yentions board and there is nothin : now blocking the adoption os the ms
 chine as standard for the use os d
 the Allied nations"

LIBERTY BOND HOLDERS URGED NOT TO SELL
 THEIR HOLDINGS

The Treasury Department author izes the following:
 The necessity for purchasers Of Liberty bonds keeping them was 1m- pressed strongly upon about a hund- red representatives of Liberty loan committees from all parts of the coun- try by Secretary McAdoo in confer ence here. The conference was the first of series that will be held for the purpose of coordinating the efforts of Liberty loan workers in coming campaigns.
 Lowered market prices for Liberty bonds. the Secretary declared, were due to sales traceable to agents of the ! Kaiser. thoughtless persons who do not realize that unnecessary sales drive down prices and those who are forced ! by circumstances beyond their con- trol to sell their bonds.
 Germany's Hand Seen.
 some persons sell these bonds for malevoent reasons" the Secretary said investigations that l have made recently convince me that the hand of the Kaiser is behind certain sales. Of course, l am not in posses sion of evidence which would convince a jury of the truth of this assertion. but could convince any fair-minded man Of it. Thoughtless persons. who
 think they have done their duty when they buy bonds, also sell them. These
 thoughtless persons can be changed
 to thoughtful ones if we will show them how their sales are affecting the Government. We can not influence
 the KaIser's people. but we can put them in the penitentiaries. and l want ,, to see them there for we must deal ,relentlessly with all enemies of Amer Iica"
