YANKEE INVENTS
BEST GAS MASK
American Ingenuity Plans
for Long Advances and
Attack.
By LOWELL MELLETT

l(United Press staff Correspondent,
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ~
FRANCE, July Shy Mail. Ann
erican ingenuity evolved something
new and better in the way of gas
masks.
i 1t is a mask that shuts out all gases
as effectively as the present French,
British or German models. if not more
/ effectively, and it permits natural
breathing through the nose. 1t is
light and comfortable as the French
mask, which is an improvement on
the German model.
But it is American and it grew ont
of the American idea that the next
| important stage of allied operations,
following the certain failure of Ger
lmany's last great offensive, is TO he
an allied offensive. In other words
lit is a gas mask designed for often
Isive operations. 1t is intended to be
worn at long stretches, if necessary.
Iand TO be worn in the difficult busi-
ness of advancing, not merely whne
holding off an enemy advance.
Has Many Advantages.
Among the advantages claimed for
it is that it permits clear vision, the
strip across the eyes not cloudlng
when the wearer's breath touches it;
the weight is deposited at the back
of the neck and on the shoulders. an1
the bunglesome box used IN other
respirators is removed from the chest.
where it is always in the way; ana.
most important of all, the uncomfort-
able clip on the nose is done away
with. 1t is literally possible to wear
it for hours and forget its presence.
Officers in various parts of the line
have given the new mask a trial, and
their enthusiastic praise has resulted
in many more calls for samples. Al.
ready several thousand masks have
been manufactured in the govern
ment's big plant in America, and they
will be turned out in sufficient guam
fifty to supply the whole army by the
time they are needed.
1t Beats All These.
1t has been established that the
mask is proof against mustard gas.

ride. brombenzleyanide, dipheny,-

over for the purpose, invented the
new mask. While the good points Of
other masks have not been overlooked

Short Cord Sharks.

The Fuel Administrator at New Or
leans is after the short cord sharks,
and has sent the following circular to
the newspapers:
with the cooperation of wood con-
sumers. the Fuel Administration hopes
to make the path of the short-measure
wood dealer a rocky one to travel this
winter Unless the consumers do their
part. however, efforts of the Govern
ment in this direction will he lost.
Selling short cords is in violation of the
state weights and measures law. In
addition. it will subject the dealer to
revocation of license.
The Fuel Administration is very
anxious to stamp out this practice. All
that is asked is that consumers report
violations to their local district attOr-
ney The consumer is the victim. 1t
is up to him to obtain all the evidence
before the district attorney can take
any action Any consumer who receives
Il short cord is requested to secure the
name and address of the dealer. the
witnesses, and facts concerning the
shortage.
The wood protiteer and the short
measure shark are in the same class
with the pirates of old. They are de-
serving of little consideration. The
fuel problem will be hard enough for
the working man this winter without
adding such troubles. and that is why
the Government is so anxious to see
fair play and square dealing.

Proper Uses for Dynamite.

From the Shreveport News-American.l
One German general named HUM,
and nearly all Of his staff, have been
killed near st. Quentin by flying ma
chine fighters.
That is hopeful news as well as good
news. For sooner or later undoubtedly
American flying machines will begin
real work in great numbers.
If only this country had had twenty
thousand machines to drop dynamite
on the flying Russians in the recent
weeks of frenzied fleeing, and if an
other twenty thousand had been dyna-
hitting cities. towns and villages inside
of the poisonous :" fatherland," the war
would hardly reach into the winter.
Dynamite and plenty of it is the only
satisfactory answer to the preposter-
GUS Prussian statement that Belgium
may be restored without indemnity
Dynamite and nothing else will make
the Prussian brutes understand that
the only question is what will Belgium
take from Prussia!

EORESHlDOWS THE END.

The little principality of Bulgaria
threw down her arms Monday, and
cried enough" This foreshadows the
downfall of Germany and her allies.
Bulgaria was required to diSband her
army. surrender all war materials,
evacuate the territory plundered from
Greece and Serbia, and, further, that
her troops must fight on the side of the
Allies. The surrender is complete and
abject No terms We're granted, except
those the Allies imposed. The kinglet,
Ferdinand. fled to Austria, and the
people will select Il ruler to he under
the orders of the Allies. French. Brit
ish and Italian troops will occupy the
country until the end of the war. The
reason that American troops are not
included is that this country and Bull
garia are not officially" at war. But
the troops have met each other on the
battlefield. and the Bulgars are very
positive that we are ut war.
bulgaria comprises an area of about
4O.D0 square miles. being about four
tifths the size of Louisiana. The pOpu-
lation is about four million people,
mostly of Slavonian origin.
The retirement of Bulgaria points to
the collapse Of Turkey, as it cuts off
communications with Austria and Ger
many, and it is stated that Turkey has
already sent out 'feeler" looking to-
ward peace negotiations. If Turkey
surrenders to the Allies, this would
open the door to the invasion of Aus
tria- Hungary. and which would end in
the immediate collapse of that dual
monarchy. Foreseeing this, Austria
has sent out another ''feeler," inviting
the Allies to an ''unbinding" peace con-
ference. The first one was quickly re-
fused and so will he the second. The
Allies will accept no ''unbinding con-
ference. 1t must be an unconditional
surrender. as in the case of Bulgaria.
The fall of either Turkey or Austria
will Shatter the tOttering fabric Of Ger
many. and the surrender of that brutal
nation must also he unconditional.
