WHEN NOBEL CUT HIS FINGER
How the First of High Explosives in
Use Originated in Labora-
tory Accident.

The great war might be traced
back to Nobel's cut finger. Alfred
Nobel was a Swedish chemist-and
a pacifst. One day while working
in the laboratory he cut his finger,
as chemists are apt to do, and,
again as chemists are apt to do, he
dissolved some guncotton in ether
alcohol and swabbed it on the wound.
AT this point, however, his conduct
DIVORCES from the ordinary, for in
stead of standing idle, impatiently
waving his hand in the air to dry
the film, as most people, including
chemists, are apt to do, he put his
mind on it and it occurred to him
that this sticky stuff, slowly harden
ing to an elastic mass, might be just
the thing he was hunting as an alb
sorbent and solidifer of nitroglyc-
erin. So instead of throwing away
the extra collodion that he had made
he mixed it with nitroglycerin and
found that it set to a jelly.
The blasting gelatin" thus dis
covered proved to be SO insensitive
to shock that it could be safely
transported or fired from a cannon.
This was the first of the high explo-
siyes that have been the chief factor
IN the great war.-E. E, Slosson in
New York Independent.

five MILLION
men MUST Be
SENT ACROSS
WITHIN YEAR
Dakota Senator Urges Senate
to Make Greater Progress
in War to Save Nation from
Discredit.
SCORES SHIP PROGRAM
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, May 3.--Five mil
lion men must be sent on the battle
front by the United States within a
year. Senator McCumber of North Da-
kota, declared today in an address to
the senate, which reviewed Americas S
work during it's first year in the war.
The results of Americas efforts have
been almost negligible up TO the pres
ent, he said. Six months have been
wasted by the shipping board and
$640,00O.OO0 for aircraft has been
worse than squandered."
''If we fail to put less than five mil
lion men on the fighting line before
the end of another year." he continued
I'VE will again have grossly failed to
measure up to our moral duty. We
will have charged to our 1iscredit an
other year of colossal blunders."
Senator McCumber contrasted a
statement Of President Schwab of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, that
the United States would produce ship
tonnage of only ten million dead
weight in 1919 with the estimates the
U-boat losses of seven million gross
tonnage in 1918 and said:
"A program, which cOntemplates
but ten million tonnage is trifling
with the most serious question that
ever confronted the people of this
country. 1t is worse than trifling,, it
is suicidal
"Our only hope of winning this war
is in being able to keep our allies in
the field another year. That means
that 1t is incumbent upon us to sup
n1y fhon, 9Th frnd
armies into the field, let us at least
get food and munitions to those who
are fighting our battles
AS a preface to his conclusions
Senator McCumber asserted that
what we had lacked most was the
foresight and determination to get up
and be doing when the flying sparks
Of that great world war threatened to
produce conflagrstion that might
force us on the firing line"
I'VE seem to have gotten so be-
wildered in a maze of little things
that we have lost sight Of the great
requirements" he said. "The failure
of our shipping board is the most ag-
gravating example of failure to grasp
4 pig situation"
Unparalleled extravaganza along
every line of national endeavor was
another reason of failure, the North
Dakota senator contended.
1--WE have been literally burning up
the money which the taxpayers have
cheerfully paid to create and support
a fighting army" he charged. while
we can't win this war. without buying
liberty bonds, neither can we win it
by making bonfires of the money re-
ceived from liberty bonds"
The buster of the public press, he
said, which has grossly exaggerated
everything in our favor had been an
other factor in the delay

STRAYER IS UNANIMOUSLY
ENDORSED BY REPUBLICANS

Attorney w. w. Keller, chairman Of
the Wayne county council of defense,
exploded a bombshell in the Republi-
can meeting at Centerville Thursday
night when he denounced the man
who is seeking to defeat Frank Stray
er for the Republican nomination for
prosecuting attorney as "contempti-
Bile, cowardly renegade, and disgrace

citation by applauding for Frank Stray

one Of the noblest patriots we have in
this community" Keller continued,
"and that anyone should doubt his
loyalty for a moment is beyond the be
lief of any decent man or woman.
Was Thoroughly Patriotic.
Il am reluctant to talk on a sub
ject so insignificant" the speaker said,
but a matter has now arisen which
calls for round condemnation. Stray
er's opponent has distributed printed
circulars in various parts of this coun
ty in which it is asserted that Frank
Strayer made a disloyal speech at
Dalton. There are statements in this
pamphlet which are purported to have
been signed by five men residing at
Dalton.
To-day several of us went to Da[
ton and saw these men. Everyone OF
them declared that Strayer's speech
had been thoughly patriotic and
signed statements repudiating those
they are supposed to have signed
which reflect on the character of the
prosecuting attorney.
1.-TWO of these men declared that
they had signed something for Stray
er's opponent, but neither of these
men knew what they were signing.
In other words they were told by this
man that they were signing one thing,
but they really signed something en-
tirely different. One of the men who
is supposed to have affixed his sig
nature to one of these statements has

COLONIAL POWER
ANTICIPATED BY
HUNS and ALLY
Austria Plans Territorial Ex-
pansion-German Colonists
Will Occupy Conquered
States.
(By Associated Press.)

AMSTERDAM, April 17-Austria is
planning to become a great colonial
power as a result of the war, accord
ing to a statement by Professor Oscar
karstedt in the Wirtschafts Zeitung
He suggests that Austria should take
over the colonial possessions of Por-
tugal, France, Italy and Holland. 1t
Is not clear why Holland, which is not
a belligerent, should suffer the loss
of her East Indian possessions, but
Prof. Karstedt thinks that Holland
has neither the men nor the means to
develop her colonies adequately.
1.-The need for overseas expansion
is now clearly felt by Austria" he
says, land the idea of an economic
penetration of the Balkans cannot be
looked upon as offering a solution of
Austria's economic difficulties. Aus
tria requires tropical districts from
which she can draw her supplies OF
raw materials, and for this purpose
they must be under her own rule. This
is to be the keynote of our future
colonial policy. rather than imperial
ism which makes the possession of
territory an end in itself Some OF
the present colonial powers will soon
drop out of the list. Austria has
strong incentives to claim share in
the redistribution"
AMSTERDAM, May 3.-An unpleas-
ant prospect for the peoples of terri
tories occupied by the Germans as
outlined in an article which has just
appeared in the German newspapers,
urging that they shall all be driven
out to make room for German col
onists.
GERMANY" says the article, "has
been forced to destroy whole states as
if they were castles constructed of
cards. and has thus lost blood from
millions of wounds. Considering this
it cannot be wrong or immoral to ex-
pei the Poles from the territories of
old Russia, SO that we may prepare
in those regions a new fatherland for
the German refugees who have come
from all parts of the world.
"The question is not one of morals
1t is merely political and economic
problem. The question Is not. what
shall we do with the nationalities of
the occupied territories but rather,
how shall we proceed to group these
territories so that they may best serve
the interests Of Germany?
Let the latter plan be the keynote
of our reorganization of conquered
lands, wherever they may be situated"
