is humorous twinkle in his deep
set eyes, around his mouth are lines
which denote his human sensitive
ness, and in talking with sceptics
there is note of kindly tolerance in
his bell like voice.
The learned professor of physical
science is an ardent upholder of
psychical research. Having satisfied
himself as to the results of this re-
search, he doesn't try to force his
views on others. In any public ut
terances he always says words to the
effect that he is merely expressing
his own convictions, based upon
many years of scientific inquiry.
rs Deep Rooted Understanding.
1t has been said that his deep
rooted understanding Of the artisan
mind makes him tolerant of scepti-
cism and industrious of forcing belief.
Indeed, he has himself said that this
attitude is a safeguard against SUI
perstition and cranks, even though
he realizes that people cannot re-
ceive proof as long as they shut
their minds to the evidence"
However, so convinced is he as to
his own discoveries he is content to
go on working exclusively at phychic
research. 81 do not expect favor
able scientific atmosphere in my life
time" he once remarked. 81 expect
continuance of hostile prejudice.
Nevertheless / feel entitled to state
the results of my experiments for
what they ar worth-and leave judg-
ment to posterity."
He does not expect to be able in
his life time to do all the work ne
cessary, but firmly believes that
ether and matter will prove to have
psychic bearings-and if he does not
live long enough to provide final
proofs he hopes to make sufficient
progress along the road of discovery
to warrant it's being pursued by his
successors. He says:
"The boundary between the two
states-the present and the future
is still substantial, but it is wearing
thin in places, and like excavators
engaged in boring tunnel from OPP
posite ends, amid the roar of water
and other noises, we are beginning to
hear now and again the strokes of
the pickaxes of our comrades on the
other side" According to Sir Oliver
Lodge, the spirits are just as eager
| to get into communication with
earthly beings as he is to get into
communication with them-so that
the influence works from both sides.
Favorite Among Science Students.
Here is a great favorite among sci
ence students. Though not too leni-
ent master, his method CT keeping
his pupils up to the mark a touch OF
humor. One of the young men at
tending his lectures once gave con-
siderable trouble. Taking him by the
scruff of the neck Sir Oliver quietly
and quickly landed him outside the
door.
'Tf you behave like schoolboy,
must, treat you like one" he ex-
planned.
On another occasion he heard one
of his students remark that he had a
great contempt for Plato. Sir Oliver
retorted: ga contempt, am afraid
not bred by familiarity"

ARMENIA IS ASKED
i BY THE PRESIDENT
Message to Congress Admits
"Urging Critical Choice"
Adverse Views Expressed.

Authority to accept for the United
States a mandate over Armenia was
asked of Congress yesterday by Presi-
dent Wilson. The executive said he
was conscious that he was urging "a
very critical choice" but that he did
so in the earnest belief that it will
be the wish of the people of the
United States that this should be
done.
The Presidents message was read
in both the House and Senate. but
was discussed in neither. Each house
referred IL to its committee on for
eigH relations and there was no indi-
cation when either committee would
take it up. Some republican leaders
In the Senate predicted privately that
the message would lie in the Senate
committee indefinitely.
Attitude of Senators.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts. the
republican leader and chairman of the
Senate committee. had no comment to
make oH the executives recommended
tions In the past. however, he has
declared emphatically his opposition
to mandate
senator Harding. republican. Ohio,
chairman OF the committee which in
NeSttsated Armenia affairs, said he
would never consent TO taking man

did not think the Senate would con-
sent.

against mandate. democrats as we'll

Refers to Harding Resolution.
Senator Harding is the author of
the resolution recently adopted by the
Senate congratulating the Armenian
people on the recognition of their in
dependence and asking the President
10 send warShip and American ma
rines to Baku. President Wilson re-
ferred TO this resolution in his mes
sage today. but senators pointed out
that this measure was adopted as
substitute for one by Senator Will
liams. democrat. Mississippi. propos-
Ing that the United States become the
mandatory for Armenia
The President. in his message in
formed the Senate that he had ac-
cepted the invitation of the allied su-
preme council that he undertake Ito
arbitrate the very difficult questions
of the boundary between Turkey and
Armenia. saying he had thought it
his duty ito accept this difficult and
delicate task"
Treaty Provision for Mandates.
Provision for mandates over former
subject peoples is made in the treaty
of Versa lies and il is set forth that
such mandates shall be executed un-
der the league of nations. but since
the United States is not member
of the league administration officials
said that if Congress decided that the
United States should act for armenia
the treaty provisions would be waived
in this case.

Col. H.. w. Miller Reads Paper Be
fore Engineers Describing De-
fenses of Belgian Coast.

Lessons that tae United States
might learn from the manner in which
the Germans fortified and defended
the Belgian coast during thee war
formed the subject Of paper which
Lieut.. Col. IL W. Miller. Of the ord
nance department Of the Army read
before a meeting of the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers at
a meeting in st. Louis this afternoon,
and which was made public here to-
day.
These Notifications which kept the
allies at bay for four Years are note
worthy because of the location of
large batteries at considerable dis
tsnce from the shore: the utiliza-
ton of railway mounts for defense:
the simplicity of the designs and
the use of smoke screens
Discussing these points. Col. Miller
said :.
THE Germans installed their large
caliber guns at distances of from two
TO three miles from the shore. using
concrete emplacements and heavy
earthwork entertainments This Ioca-
ton of the batteries increased the
dIhculty of the range finders on board
the allied ships, and ena bed the guns to
be operated not only against the
fleets but against land forces on the
Hindenburg line.
These fortifications gave the first
example of the use of railway mounts
for coast defense They were the
only guns which the Germans were
abie to withdraw upon their evacua
ton in 1918. Investigation made of
the mechanisms used by the Germans
In the guns they We're unable to take
away showed that the simplest type
or construction prevailed Ordnance
designers have been prone to utilize
complex designs in the past
The Germans immediately upop
being shelled by the feet would set
up the smoke screen. which reduced
the ability of the naval gun-nointers

stce an inspection Of the German
batteries showed that in spite of the
fact that smallcaiiber batteries were
l1cated on the tops of dunes and in
plain sight of the sea. there was no
evidence that any Of them were dam
aged by shellfire''

A To-Day Tube of Pepso-
- TAA dent, to show you how to
- n ~ end film. See below.
On Your Teeth Now

There is now on your teeth a Shiny
film. You can feel it with your tongue.
1t clings to teeth, gets between the
teeth and stays.
The tooth brush alone doesn't end it.
The ordinary tooth paste does not dis
solve it. So month after month it stays
ehere and may do a ceaseless damage.
That film is what discolors - not the
teeth. 1t is the basis of tartar. 1t holds
food substance which ferments and
forms acid. 1t holds the acid in contact
with the teeth to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They,
with tartar, are the chief cause of pyor-
Ihea Most tooth troubles are now
traced directly to that film.
Dental scientists have for years
sought a way to end film. They have
known that brushing could not save
teeth il it left that film upon them.
Now that film combatant has been
found. Convincing tests, under able
authorities, have proved it beyond
question. The method is now embodied
in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. And
we supply it free for testing to anyone
