RECENT WAR INVENTIONS.

DR.. Charles W. Eliot, president cmeri-
tus of Harvard, asserted in recent adj
dress that the Germans cannot be cred
tied with any real basic invention of
great value to humanity, though they
have adopted and sometimes improved
the inventions OF people OF other nations.
In the great war, now to all appear
onces ended, the inventive genius shown
by the allied nations is far and away
superior to that displayed by the central
powers. On the testimony Of the Ger
man commanders themselves, saws the
Scientific American, as quoted by the
Boston Globe, the most decisive of the
new weapons of attack is the tank, de.
signed by the British The motor driven
airplane, an American invention, was put
to military use by both sides at the open
ing OF the war; but its carly develop
ment was due to tho French. They were
the first to mount the machine gun, and
with the British, except for one brief
period, they have led in the matters of
speed, maneuvering ability and all-round
efficiency. Save for the production of the
heavy scmimobile howitzer and the long.
range gun, the allies have led in gun.

The British introduced drumfire; the
French developed first the stationary and
then the creeping barragc at Ycrdun.
To the French, also, we owe the location
OF guns by sound; and the allies were
the first to make use of heavy. long range
guns mounted on railroad cars. The
Maxim heavy machine gun has remained
until recently the single type used by
German troops; for the allies were the
first TO use the light, portable machine
gun. The Germans entered the war with
Il small trench mortar, and their at
tempts to improve upon it have failed;
but the allies have shown remarkable
fertility in this field, as witness the
portable Stokes mortar of the British.

NEW YORK, Aug. ga federal

having transmitted messages by mail.
It is claimed that 346;417 messages
were carried by messengers between
August 2, 1917, and June Is, 1913.
The company would place large

would go to these cities on fast trains
and deliver them to waiting messcn-
gers, who would take them to the Of

Post to Take 1t Up.
This Minneapolis situation. and
some others of general interest to the
department of Labor, will come un-
DER the eye of Assistant Secretary
Louis F. Post, during trip around
the country which he began this
week. Accompanied by. his private
secretary, Hugh Reid of Chicago, Mr..
Post goes to Seattle, then to >San
francisco and Los Angeles, and come
eastward along the Mexican border.
Later he will be in Denver and In
Minneapolis. On the Pacific coast
and along the border he will be
chiefly concerned with immigration
and deportation matters. He will also
take up with the local officials of tho
United States Employment service the
problem of seasonal labor supply dur
ing the war, and the application Of
the rule against employment in non
essential industries.
Mr.. Post has been the leader of the
development which has wiped out the
whole system Of private employment
agencies in the United States, and has
pooled our man-power' for the period
of the war. If he had his way, the
dollar-power would be ~pooled in
much the same way ana the prof.
teering which the Federal Trade COM
mission and the Treasury reports
killed off in an hour.
Meat Trusts Lobby.
Speaking of profiteers brings up the
question OF the big meat packers once
more, just as the word monopoly used
to bring up the names of Standard
Oil and Rockefeller. The Federal
Trade commissions has shown that the
government must run the wholesale
meat selling houses, as we'll as the big
stockyards, if the packers are to be
controlled. The packers are increas-
ing their expensive lobby in Washing
ton to prevent any action by congress
to bring this about. Their chief lob
byist is in the society columns of tho
papers almost every day, with enter
tainments given to big politicians and
to officials of various kinds. The
families that pay the excess profits on
meat are not giving these dinner-par-;
ties to rt,sn~who can put the brakes
