Filling The Hospitals.

Sick and wounded American
soldiers are being quietly brou't

in the hospitals provided TO
them. Over four hundred were
landed last week, which was an
increase Of 100 in the number
brought home and week previ'
ously. They will be finely cared
for in any American hospital
to which they may be sent, but
those whose whose good fortune
will land them IN mountain and

II the dreams of numerou.
British amateur inventors, who
have been besieglng the Ministry
OF Munitions, could be realized
the war would have been over
long ago, and little, would be left
OF the German army. Recent
proposals include the following:
"Freeze the clouds and mount
artillery thereon: train cormor-
ants to fly to Essen to pick the
mortar from Krupp's walls, 50
that they will crumble: trail from
balloons prodigious magnets
that would snatch rifles from the
hands Of the German soldiers;
perch men on shells to steer them.
A suggestion often submitted
is to attach q searcblight to an
anti.aircraft gun, project the
light on a Gotha and shoot along
the beam. Unfortunately shells
will not follow apath Of light.
Other schemes for dealing with
hostile aircraft a re to suspend
heavy guns from captive bal
looms; to arm defense airplanei
with scythes; to provide heat
rays for setting zeppelins on tirt
and to cover the moon with q
big, black balloon. To prevent
polished rails shining at night
and acting as a guide to enemy
aircraft, the last coach OF the
last train is to drop blacking on
them.
A shell containing gravel is tc
lay a pathway over mud, ano
another, containing an irritan1
powder or a sticky substance, il
to hamper machine guns.
The ''relay shell' is a favoritt

Among the miscellaneous pro

tack Germany itself via a "tubs'
