Wireless NO7C

Somewhere in France-Every pilot
IN the British air service Is now
trained wireless telegraphist. The
field OF use Of the wireless In con-
nection with airplanes is, however,
limited by two factors-the weight
of the apparatus and the noise and
vibration Of the engines.
Heavier than air craft cannot re-
main aloft. as airships can, with en-
gines stopped for the better reception
Of long distance wireless messages.
But the wireless has enlarged, the
field of use OF airplanes in warfare.
Messages transmitted by the "caVal-
ry of the air'' now keep headquarters
in touch with every visible movement
on the part Of the enemy. 1t is how
ever, in connection with artillery that
wireless is chiefly employed. The
comparatively light sets required for
the transmission of messages a dis
lance equal to the range Of the tar
get Of modern guns is but a small
load for the average two-seater air
plane.
The difficulty of receiving Sound"
signals in the air will be apparent
when it Is stated that conversation
between pilot and observer is imprac-
ticable, without the use of special
'1oudspeaking'' telephones, on &C

way than by gassing him the way he
gassed you"
Mr.. sisson said that the factory
already was at work somewhere in
America" on the manufacture Of this
new gas.
sneezine Powder Not Feared.
Officials of the gas and flame serv-
Ice Of the war department do not re-
gard the ''sneeZing powder" which
the Germans have been firing into
the American lines as presenting any
serious problem. The practice Of
the Germans is to fire q few prelimi-
nary explosive shells containing the
harmless sneezfng powder and to fol-
low them with shells containing
the Iethal gases. The tendency is
for the soldiers to remove their
masks on the advent Of the powder,
or to keep them off If they have not
been donned, and they thus are
caught unprepared when their posi-
tions are drenched with the deadly
gases.
THE American soldier is prepared
against any gas that the Germans
yet have devised" said an officer of
the gas and flame service. ''All that
is necessary is for him to have COM
plete confidence in the mask that the
war department has furnished him.
Let him keep it on whatever happens
and. he viii be perfectly safe.
Dispatches from the American ex-
peditionary force indicated that the
sneezing powder had the power of
percolattng. through tho masks, but
officials would not say IT, this had
now been prevented, merely reiterat-
ing the statement that If the soldiers
kept their masks on they would not
be harmed.

probably than the Americans have
attempted heretofore. The policy
has been to hold such innovations in
reserve until it was possible to use
them with telling effect against the
enemy. There is now going up back
Of the American lines, IL it Is not
already completed, great establish
ment for the manufacture OF all the
gases that"Wtll be used by the Amer
lean army. Some Of the ingredients
will be collected IN this country and
shipped to the expeditionary forces
Representative Sisson of Missts-
sippi, speaking recently in the pres
ence Of some of General Pershing's
fighters, who had returned to this
country, assured them that his COM
mittee had recommended money to
put in the hands of the American
soldiers "a gas more deadly than that
which the Germans have forced up
your nostrils.
ELECTRICITY was needed to make
this gas" he continued, land it seems
that good fortune has smiled on our
land again, for we have In this coun-
try the water power to develop more
electric current than any other coun-
try in the world. If you must beat
the devil, don't know any better

(SpeciaI)-Whtls the
government is perfecting better and
better defensive measures against
German poison gas, American chem
lists are busy compounding gases for
the Germans which are deadlter than
anything ever made in Germany. The
attitude here is that If the Germans
insist upon using this method of
warfare the United States Ia compel
led to resort to the same weapons.
And while about 1t, the authorities
are not going to do it in O. halfway
fashion.
Without envy ado and with q vast
amount of}secrecY some Of the FORE
most chemists In the United States
have been at work since the declara-
don Of war on gases which will prove
of the utmost efficacy In replying to
the gas attacks of the enemy. Be-
fore the house appropriations COM
mittee these chemists testified that
they had, discovered gas which they
regarded as far superior to that in
use by the Germans or the French.
Whether this new gas was used
against the Germans in the recent
gas attack in the Tioul sector Is
not known.

zone OF the sorest points in Amer
lean politics is the unmerctful and
exaggerated way by which one party
assails the other and their candi-
dates during political campaigns. Our
people have sense enough to receive
these campaign attacks cum grano
sails; for some OF them they have no
moro influence than water poured
on a ducks back. Some bad effects
they have: they keep many an able
and conscientious man from running
for an office, and they weaken the
respect and reverence, which we all
should pay to those in authority.
"Since the Nonpartisan league has
come into existence, the practice of
criticizing those Of other parties has
been turned into regular class-and-
party hatred. You can not find one
single edition OF The Nonpartisan
Leader, which does not stir up hatred
against the rich or what 1t calls
pers OF other parties have paid back
with the same coin and picture the
Nonpartisan league as an enemy Of
the country.
"It may be well to remind the read
er that those who fight for the truth
need no other weapon but the truth
and sound reasoning. Only those who
fight for something wrong, need to-
make use Of other weapons. AS every
just war must have for its object
peace, a just and honorable peace,
so it must be in political fights. Class
hatred and party hatred does never
any good, but does untold mischief, it
is always a sure sign that those who
spread class-and-party hatred are
fighting for very poor and weak
cause.

forming LAD DIED
FROM SCARLET fever
Theodore, 15- 5-Year-Old Son of Andrew
Hegreberg Passed Away Wednes-
day After Short Illness

Theodore Hegreberg, the 15-year-
old Of Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Hegre-
berg, prominent residents of forming
township passed away Wednesday
morning at o'clock after short
illness from scarlet fever. Owing to
the nature of the disease, no public
funeral was possible, therefore the
remains were inferred in the ceme-
terry at the Soren church in forming
township that afternoon, under the
direction of J. D. Van Fleet & Co.,
of Minot. The remains were laid
tenderly to rest, a number of the
neighbors attending the sad rites.
Public funeral services will be held
a little later as soon as the quaran-
tine can be taken from the Hegreberg
home.
The news of the death of Theodore
came AS complete surprise to the
many friends for the lad had been SER
iously i'll but day or two. He had
not been feeling well for a week but
it was believed that the illness would
not develop seriously.
Theodore had lived in forming
township practically all of his life:
He was an especially fine manly lad
and will be sadly missed not only
around the Hegreberg freside, but by
scores of friends as well. He is sur
vived by four sisters and three broth
ers. The bereaved members of the
family have the sincerest sympathy OF
a host of friends.
