break droughts by Commandment of
the Skies
The weather specialists point out
that in all such cases, even when rain
has followed such bombardments, the
moisture was there and was due to
fall anyhow without mans interven-
ton and that in the few cases where
rain has fallen it has been a mere
coincidence, the rain being due to
natural causes. and the drought was
broken because it was time that it
would have been broken in the natur-
al course of events. In short, mois-
ture would fall when it was present;
if it were not present all the concus-
sions that could be devised by man
could not make rain.
Result Of Actual Observations
Actual observations by French, Bri-
fish and American observers have
failed to establish any relationship be-
tween storming the enemy and storm
from the skies. Careful studies show
that rainfall and battles do not coin
eide enough to give the basis for a
theory Of cause and effect. The great
battles in France in the spring of 1917
failed to interrupt the long spell of
fair weather that accompanied them.
Furthermore, all examination recently
made of the records of local distribu-
ton of rainfall over England during
the first twenty-five months of war
made by the British Meteorological
Office resulted in Strengthening the
evidence against the theory.
Old Theories Die Hard
The director of the French MeteorO-
logical Bureau, M. Ango, practically
says that the wish is father to the
thought, and that an idea that is deep
seated and of long duration dies hard.
The survival of the fallacy is due to
the suggestion constantly given by an
instructive belief. Possessed of such
a belief, one is inclined to note only
the favorable condolences, he says,
ignoring the many circumstances that
do not bear out the theory, and thus

WAR DOES NOT
RULE WEATHER,
SAYS BUREAU
Popular Fallacy by Statement
From Washington
Experts
CREATOR STILL CONTROLS
Conditions of Last Summer Nav
Be Explained by Natural
CREATOR STILL CONTROLS

Washington, August 31--"There is
nothing in it," says the United States
Weather bureau to repeated inquiries
as to whether the war affects rain
fall or any other weathc: conditions.
There is popular fallacy that con-
cussions, explosions, and the liberia
ton of gases in the European con-
flict is having an effect on the wealth
er, not only over the battlefelds, but
elsewhere on the globe; but it is only
fallacy, say the weather specialists
Of the United States Department of
Agriculture, even though it has ex-
listed since the beginning of historic
times. Before gunpowder was used,
the ancients had an idea that battles
produced rainfall, which was caused
by the clash of swords and the sweat
of the fighters
Later, the same theory was trans
ferred to the noise produced by mus
kerry and artillery; later still, to dust
particles and smoke from burning
powder, upon which the moisture in
the air was supposed to be condensed
and to fall as rain, and now to the
gases freed by explosions, and liber-
ated in the new chemical warfare.
/ These theories are not lcOmbated
merely by other theories, but by ac-
tual observations made officially by
several of the belligerent governments
and the net result Of these careful
observations is to refute the idea that
war has any effect on weather.
While the notion Of this effect has
been repeatedly exposed in scientific
journals, the general press has from
time to time printed articles in which
the idea of connection between bat
tie and rainfall has been brought for
ward. For this reason the weather
officials feel that the following facts
may be timely and interesting.
Real Cause Of Rainfall
The real cause of rainfall is the
cooling OF the air by the vertical
rising of heated air currents, and the
incoming OF cooler currents TO take
their places. All weather conditions
depend ultimately for their origin on
the heating and cooling of the atmos-
phere. All the powder that could be
reasonably expended in any battle,
even by millions of men engaged
would not be enough to produce any
appreciable change in temperature
throughout any considerable section
OF the atmosphere over the battle area
Some have thought that the Earring
effect of conclusions joggles together
the moisture particles in the air, just
as sharp tap on windowpane will
start descent of larger drops from
many small ones made by a mist or
drizzle. A sharp downpour of rain
following Immediately after a heavy
crash Of thunder is supposed to be an
example Of the same cause and effect.
This theory was partly back of the
rain making attempts formerly tried
in Kansas, Texas and elsewhere to

praying, praying that his useless life
would be spared.
AS dawn began to break, he could
discern little dark objects protruding
from the ground all about him. Curl
osity mastered his fear and he crawled
to one of the objects, and there, In the
uncertain light, he read on a little
wooden cross:

his reason seemed to leave him, and a

trampling others under his feet.
In his flight he came to an old
French dugout, half caved in and par

Inconsistencies.
On the next day. he came to; far
distant voices sounded in his ears.
Opening his eyes, in the entrance Of
the dugout he saw a corporal and two
men with fixed bayonets.
The corporal was addressing him:
"Get up, you white-livered Brighter

Lloyd, trembling and weakened by
his long fast, tottered out. assisted by
a soldier on each side of him.
They took him before the captain,
but could get nothing out of him but:
'For Gods sake, sir, don't have me
shot, don't have me shotl"
The captain, utterly disguised with
him, sent him under escort to division
headquarters for trial by cOurt-mar-
tial, charged with desertion under fire.
They shoot deserters in France.
During his trial, Lloyd sac as one
dazed, and could put nothing forward
in his defense, only an occasional
"Don't have me shOtl"
His sentence was passed: ITO be
shot at 3 :38 o'clock in the morning OF
May 10, 1916" This meant that he
had only one more day to live.
He did not realize the awfulness OF
his sentence; his brain seemed para
lived. He knew nothing of his trip,
under guard, in a motor lorry TO the
sandbagged guardroom in the village,
where he was dumped on the floor and
left. while a sentry with a fixed bayo-
net paced up and down in front of the
entrance.
Bully beef, water and biscuits were
left beside him for his supper.
The sentry, seeing that he ate MOTH
ing, came inside and shook him by the
shoulder, saying in a kind voice:
"Cheero. laddie, better eat some
thing. You'll feel better. Don't give
up hope. You'll be pardoned bsfore
morning. l know the way they run
these things. They're only trying to
scare you, that's all. Come now, that's
a good lad, eat something. It'll make
the world look different to you"
The good-hearted sentry knew he
was lying about the pardon. He knew
nothing short of miracle could save
the poor lad.
Lloyd listened eagerly to his sentry's
words. and believed them. A look OF
hope came into his eyes, and he raven
ousIy ate. the meal beside him.
In about an hours time, the chap
lain came to see him, but Lloyd would
have none of him. He wanted no par
son; he was to be pardoned.
The artillery behind the lines sud
denly opened up with everything they
had. An intense bombardment of the
enemy's lines had commenced. The
roar of the guns was deafening.
Lloyd's fears came back with rush,
and he covered on the earthen floor,
with his hands over his face.

The doctor looked with approval
upon LlOyds six feet of physical per-

him as physically fit" it was beating
so fast.
From the recruiting depot Lloyd was
taken, with many others, in charge of

dershot, where he was given an outfit
of khaki, and drew his other equip
ment. He made fine-lOOking soldier,
except for the slight shrinking in his
shoulders and the hunted look in his
eyes.
At the training depot it does not
take long to find out a mans character,
and Lloyd was promptly dubbed
"windy." In the English army windy"
means cowardly.
The smallest recruit In the barracks
looked on him with contempt, and was
not slow to show 1t in many ways.
Lloyd was a good soldier, learned
quickly, obeyed every order promptly,
never groused at the hardest fatigues.
He was afraid to. He lived in deadly
fear of the officers and 'nOncoms" over
