Washington, ID. C.-For the first
time in over 80 years, American stores
are practically emptied Of German

Automatic Linhtshin.

The efficient lighting of the water
ways so that they can be safely navl-
gated at night is an all-lmportant mat
ter. 1t is effected by the ordinary sta
tionary lighthouse on shore, and also
by manned llghtships and various
kinds of automatic light buoys. The
latest of these latter is an ingenious
automatic llghtshlp, requiring no at
tention whatever when once set in mo-
ton, built by a British firm.
1t is very ingeniously constructed
vessel and the very latest of its kind.
In its two steel tanks sufficient gas
can be stored to supply the vessel
for several months Experiments have
shown that the light may be depended
upon to burn continuously for months
at a time without any attention what
ever. The approximate duration of
the light can always be predetermined,
and there is no danger whatever of
the light being extingulshed either by
wind or spray. The light is visible at
n distance of eight toN twelve miles.

Once In n great while there may be
and West, but 1t never amounts to any
thing. The real sectional differences
which crop out in debates from time
to time are those between the North
and the South. Only recently there
was furry of some proportions
caused by a remark Of Senator Len
root to the effect that Southern sena-
tors were somewhat irresponsible as
to the size of appropriations particu-
larly when a large amount of the
money was expended in the South and
nearly all of it raised by taxes in the
North. This aroused the ire of several
Southerners who did not mince words
in expressing themselves against the
utterance of such sentiments in the
senate. Lenroot's words were that
Representatives in both houses of con-
greSs from the Southern states have
very little responsibility from ma
tional standpoint concerning expendl-
lures, providing only the appropria-
lions shall be expended In their own
states"
Senator Fletcher Of Florida In re-
plying said that he "could understand
how something Of that sort might be
said on the stump in the heat of po-
lltical campaign for political purposes,
but n statement coming like that In
the senate goes beyond all bounds Of
propriety or Of justice and is wholly
unwarranted."

LONG DEBATE DUE
OVER ARMY BILL
MANY SENATORS TO TAKE THE

MILITARY CONDITIONS.

Minority Leader Mann Has Joyous

BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington Unless all signs fail
the debate on the army appropriation
bill is going TO be long drawn out.
The whole army condition is going to
be threshed out thoroughly, particu-
larry in the senate. 1t is somewhat of
a surprise TO those who want TO avoid
an extra session that the army bill has
been delayed so long, for the talk upon
it may defeat ii and if it is defeated
an extra session will be necessary In
order to get money to support the
army. 1t is evident that many sena-
tors are waiting for a fitting oppor-
tunity to say what they think about
army conditions and they will take an
opportunity to do so when the regular
military appropriation bill is before
the senate. On several occasions the
military bill has been the last TO be
considered and once or twice il has
failed to pass before congress ad-
journed.

When the celebrated cablegram OF

Padgett said, for there is little in the
way of secret sessions of committees

Employment of soldiers who are
discharged from the military service
is one of the questions that have
given rise 10 great deal of dis
cussion and there seems to be consid-
cradle difficulty in solving it. The
general belief is that there is employ
ment for any number of men at this
time. At least it is said that there
never was such demand for labor Of
certain kind, but it is manual labor.
A great many people are having diff
Guilty in finding men to do work and
the agricultural districts, according to
reports, offer plenty Of jobs for men
if they are willing TO take them.
During the debate on the good roads
proposition in the post office appropri-
alton bill 1t developed that large
number of soldiers We're being used on
roads in states where there are large
encampments. 1t was claimed that
this good roads appropriation would
afford employment for soldiers, al
though quite a number of senators
secuted the idea that the returned sol
diers are going to work as day labor
ers on the roads. On account of the
statement that soldiers still held in
the service were being employed on
roads a provision was inserted in the
bill which makes it mandatory to pay
these soldiers the same wages that
other men receive for that work, rath-
er than the $50 month they draw as
privates.
Senator Thomas of Colorado told the
senate of a soldier who came to him
and talked about the many soldiers
that were now out of jobs. "They are
not looking for jobs" was the COM
ment of the soldier; "they want posi-
tons. There are plenty Of Jobs" 1t is
quite evident that these soldiers do
not want to 90 back to the farm or to
drudgery work in shops and mines. 1t
is also apparent that great many
who were formerly in the country dis
tricts would like to remain In the
cities. al these things are going to
make 1t difficult to find employment
for the soldiers when they are dis
charged.
