Refusal to Transport Material for

Coblenz, Sept. 8. - (By A. PO--
Fourteen hundred Polish soldiers who
came to the American area for the pur-
pose of transporting to Poland 5000
horses and mules which were purchased
from the United States army are being
held up indefinitely near this city by
Germany's refusal to undertake super
vision of hauling troops and animals
across Germany by rail. The Germans
hold that the shortage of coal and lack
of locomotives makes the task impos
sible under present conditions.
Germany is required to facilitate the
passage across Germany Of all trains
and material intended for the Polish
army, the peace terms making this
stimulation. The question Of Germany's s
refusal to move the Polish troops and
animals has been referred to the allied
council In Paris. Six thousand horses

The shark has a champion in DR..
Allen Rogers, who spoke before the
American Chemical Society today on
SHARK Meat as an Edible Product. "
According to Doctor Rogers, the
shark. contrary to popular belief. does
not like man flesh. In most cases the
shark won't eat man flesh even when
he can get It. He lives mostly on small
fish. When the shark follows ships in
schools, or after they graduate, when
travelling singly they eat much the same
food thrown overheard in the wake OF
the ship as a hog or poultry would eat
il they could enjoy their food in the
sea. And the shark, said Doctor Rog-
ers. is much cleaner and more careful
in his selection of food than either the
hog or poultry.
''If the shark isn't such a cannibal
sort OF fish, said Doctor Rogers, "and
If he Is more particular about eating
unsound food than our friend the hog
ger is, why eat pork and balk at shark

"BRISTOL" CLUE TO SLAYING
Locket Found on Girl Killed in 1905
Bears Name Of Town

Bristol. Pa. Sept. 5.--Chicf Of Po-
lice Sackvillc has received a request

ada. for information which might help
in clearing up an old murder case in
that city.
On October o, 1905, a young woman
was found slain in a clump of bushes
along a mountain road near Hamilton.
There was no marks of Identification
on the body except locket bearing the
word Bristol" No clue to her iden-
tity. nor to that of the slayer, was
found.
Recently, for reasons not explained,
the murder case was resurrected, and
detectives investigating the case believe
that the murdered young woman may
have come from this borough. Photo.

said he was convinced that cigarettes.
were the safest form Of smoking.'
But, he said, this did not mean that
cigarette tobacco was really "milder"
than other kinds Of tobacco.
Contrary to popular notion, he said.
the light cigarette tobacco contained
as much nicotine as the heavier cigar
and pipe tobacco. The advantage to
the cigarette smoker, he explained, was
that nicotine was not thrown of In
such great quantities in a short time
as when man smokes cigar or pipe.
War on patent pirates" and sug-
great part of today's session of the in
dustrial section of the society.
There was varied opinion among
scientists interested In patents as to
the best means of warning against those
men who take out patents in general
terms not for the purpose Of developing
an art, but to embarrass inventors and
manufacturers by demanding to be
bought off before any one else can work
on the lines indicated.
Edward J. Prindle, chairman of the
committee which arranged for the dis
,cussion, spoke against the annual fee
system.
ut would work in favor Of the rich
man and corporation and against the
average inventor" he said. "And
German patent holders would gain an
advantage. II Germans hold patents
which enable them to suppress competi
ton, they will be careful to renew them.
even though the fees were higher than
those proposed.
IF the Germans hold unimportant
patents and let them lapse rather than
pay the fees, we gain nothing, for the
patents would be of no use to us. To
be worth while, the remedy for OBJ
iectionable conditions should check the
'Germans. and at the same time not
injure us more than it Injuries them.
