NEED MORE WAR IMPLEMENTS

self, are all examples.
There are a thousand little inven-
tons needed to help in ending the
war-things you or l might invent,
if we knew how.
For instance, a gun sight as eff
cient as the telescope and as easy
to use as the open sight. A tele-
scope that can see around a corner.
A wireless field phone as efficient as
wired phone, a gas as deadly as
chlorine and as invisible as air which
can be cheaply and quickly pro-
ouced and projected, ear protectors
which save men from the effects of
heavy gunfire without preventing or
binary hearing, means for detect
ing the presence of submarine
mines without getting blown up in
the process, a searchlight which will
project heat as efficiently as present
ones do light-imagine what such a
device would mean in protection
from aerial raids. Imagine a
searchlight beam two miles up in the
air hot enough to set fire to anything
it played upon.
On such problems as these inven-
tors may work with the full knowl-
edge that if they really discover
something worth while they will do
an incalculable good to humanity
and, incidentally, feather their own
nests to the limit of their desires.

Commissioners Meet.

The absolute peacefulness of this
city during the month. of February
occasioned surprised comment at
thursdays meeting of the city com
missioners, when the police reported
no arrests, nothing doing, every
body good" The last arrest made
within the city was that of "lady"
who had served time before, and at
last reports she was residing in Tren-
ton, finding that the police here
meddled too much with her conduct.
The pig question was brought up
by Commissioner Andrew Foltz. he
having had requests for permits to
keep these ham and bacon producers
within city limits. While admitting
the need for large food production,
it was not believed that more than
fifteen or twenty pigs could be kept,
at the most, within the city, with
out causing offensive odors, and they
would have to be confined to one or
two locations, so there will be no let
ting down bars, at present anyway.
The new taxing maps, as prepared
by Civil Engineer Theodore G. Kitch-
in, were approved and will be for
warded to the county and state tax
ing authorities for action.

Vigilant Society Meets.

The Eighty-second Annual Meet
ing, of the Lambertvile.. Vigilant
Society was held in the Commission
er's room, Thursday Feb. %, and
was fairly well attended. The presi-
dent in his opening address called the
attention of the Society to the loss
by death of two members, William
J. Ledger and William Smith, during
the past year; that a single case of
robbery of a member had been re-
ported, and in alluding to the action
of the directors dispencing with the
annual dinner called the attention
of the Society to the importance of
an old institution like the Society
standing for loyal and unquestioning
support of the Government and for
the principle of mutual assistance
which under the modern system of
education and efficiency he feared
was being replaced by the attitude
of people generally to depend on
paid agencies for protection and de-
velopment. He also called attention
to the necessity of conservation econ
omy not on account of compulsion,
but for patriotic motives and in the
cause of humanity. He also recon-
mended the investment of the sur
plus funds of the Society in War Saw
ing Certificates. The Society voted to
offer a reward for the apprehension
of the thieves who disturbed the hen
roost of Clark T. Hunt and author
lied the directors to invest $3.50 of
the funds in War Saving Certificates.
At twelve o'clock noon the Society
adjourned to Odd Fellows Hall where
they listened to a stirring patriotic
address by w, Holt Apgar Esq, and
were served with a lunch prepared
by committee of the Society. This
meeting was graced with the pres
ence of many ladies, the wives and
guests of members.

LUMINOUS PAINT BEAcoNs.

Luminous paint beacons have
been used very successfully for sig
mailing silently by night. These will
carry message a distance of 60 feet
sufficient for all average require
ments. The signaling can be done
either with the Morse code or by
describing large capital letters of the
alphabet the reverse way. The Royal
Engineers of the British army are
said to have been the first to use
these novel, yet wonderful signaling
devices.

The Stacker "iSound-Up"

IT is the most natural thing in the world
1 that there should be wholesale Indignation
in New York over the arrest OF thousands of
young men believed TO be Of draft age. but
who were unable TO show their registration
cards or give other satisfactory evidence of
having met the requirements of the selective
service act And it is to be expected, under
the circumstances. that this indignation would
be reflected in the United States Senate,
where leading group OF statesmen are ever
watchfui for an opportunity to challenge an
act OF the administration.
To what extent this roundup was au-
thorized nobody seems TO know. The provost
marSha- general insists tha, he had nothing
TO do with it, The War and Navy Depart
mcnts have excused themselves saying that
ho order went forth from either except to
soldiers and sailors. asked for TO assist in the
arrests. The Department of Justice. ii APP
pears, planned and executed the whole bust
ness. Al least the New York representatives
OF the department did it, Whether or not
they acted upon direct instructions from the
Attorney General is not certain. but the an
swer will come when MIR Gregory makes his
report the President.
Nobody can honestly question the right of
the government TO apprehend draft slackers.
Nor should there be any debate as to its duty
to reach out its long arm for those who have
run away from military service. The only
doubtful point about the matter is whether
or not thousands OF innocent men should be
taken into custody, held in armo cries or police
stations for hours and subjected TO rigid
examination, in order to get the few draft
dodgers who may be found after the Sitting
process has been gone through with. There
is nothing else about the Stacker hunt with
which any citizen could possibly find fault
III thousands have been seized that mere
hundreds may be identified and held for the
army, the fault lies with the innocent parties
themselves. When they were given their
registration exemption cards they were
told in very plain language not to go without
them. Time and again since then they have
been warned by the government that il was a
matter or the utmost Importance that every
registrant, not in uniform, should carry his
card with him and be able to produce it upon
demand from any authorized representative
OF the government. Notwithstanding these
warnings, more than 10000 men in New York
alone have been found without any evidence
OF their registration or OF the fact that thew
are not required to register. II they have
been subjected to humiliation and loss of
time from business. they have only themselves
TO blame Nor is it up TO the Senate to waste
any great volume OF sympathy upon such
people.
