WARTIME ELECTRICAL
INVENTIONS PRAISED
American Experts Held Their Own,
Says Gen. Squier in An
nual Report.

When it came to wartime eIec-
rical inventions. especially those in
ne field of radio communication
'hlerlcan experts accomplished brill
Idnt work and more than held their
t"n with experts of the allies and
ne enemy powers, according to the
.-'nnual report of Mai. Gen. George g.
,quier, chief signal officer of the
Nrny, made pub.ic today
Invention in telegraphic and teIe-
phonlc science reached its apparent
cllmax in the perfection by American
"incerS OF the airplane telephone ap-
paratuS. whereby an aviator can COM
-nunicate vocally with the earth or
With other planes Gen. Squier said.
The report. which throws light on
many unrevealed incidents in the
electrical side of the war. mentions
that possibility of the enemy cutting
all cable lines caused much concern
IN the early months of the war. and
ed to work being pushed on aux
lIiary radio stations especially on
the construction at Bordeaux of what
was intended to be the longest range
station in the world. Discovery of
the fact that it was possible to tap"
n cable without detection increased
the anxiety of the government to
complete the air communication lines
The report records the Unsuccessful
search made in 1917 of the Atlantic
coast for the secret enemy cable
which. apparently authentic in+orma-
lion said, had been laid by German
submarines.

NEW LIGHT, ALMOST LIKE

LONDON. December IA light
which far surpasses any existing ar
rangement of artificial light and is
he closest approximation to actual
daylight ever accomplished is under
stood by the American Chamber of
Commerce in London to have been
perfected here.
The apparatus consists of a high
pewer electric light bulb fitted with
o. cup-shaped Opaque reflector, the
-iiveTed inner side of which reflects
he light against a parasol-shaped
Green placed above the light. The
Green is lined with small patches of
.inerent colorS, arranged according
D a formula worked out empiricaliy
~ Mr. Sheringham, the inventor, and
carefully tested and perfected in the
imperial College of Science and Tech
nology.
The light thrown down from the
screen is said to show colors almost
as well as in full daylight. Under
ne new light delicate yellows were
quite distinct-indigo blues were blue,
@obalts had their full value and vio-
let's lost the reddish shade which they
display in electric light.
The American chamber says a great
1-ture is expected for this invention
u such uses as the lighting of show
windows and art galleries, studio

THEIR HUMAN SIDE
By WILL p. KENNEDY,

Of Texas, who recently established
House record by objecting to the
passage Of large number of claim
bills, all on the same day. and who
on another occasion smuggled pho
tographer into the gallery to take
a picture showing how few members
were attending to business on the
floor, was caught mapping the other
day, and Il monument to the fact set
up in the Congressional Record by
Representative Crisp of Georgia. He
quoted:
There is a tide in the affairs of men
which, taken at the flood leads on to
fortune" Then he continued: Il be-
iieVc this is the time to call up my
bill. The House passed it in the SIX
ty-fourth Congress. The committee
on claims made favorable report in
the SiXty-fifth Congress but l could
not get it considered. The gentleman
from Texas (Mr. Blanton) was on the
claims committee at that time. and he
fled a minority report. He is not
here today. so ! think this is spien-
did time to take up this BILL CAP

There were interesting develop

that inevitably follow war. Governor
Allen of Kansas, supporting motion
of Representative Campbell for an in
vestigation of the story that the cas-
ualties of the Thirty-fifth division were
needlessly large, told the house COM
mittee on rules shocking story Of in
efficiency and blunders and lack Of
artillery and equipment. Summing up
in a sentence the record of the Ameri-
can army In France, he said everything
fell down except the raw man mate
riaL The inquiry into these conditions
will not be made by congress until the
next session, when the entire conduct
of the war will be sifted.
Following an investigation ordered
by Secretary Daniels, seven na0al Off
GERS and 40 yeomen were arrested in
the Third naval district, which iu-
cludes New York, on charges of graft
ing. 1t is asserted that a great many
sons Of wealthy families paid large
sums for special favors, easy assign
ments and promotions.
