BELINGTON HAS FIRE

Saturday night just as most folks
were sleeping the shrill whistls called
out fire alarm. Tongues of flame
were seen shooting upward from the
Hoffman house on Grim avenue, re-
Gently purchased by M. E. Hill, and
under course of repair. The fire de-
partment was on hand with plnty Of
equipment, strong hands and willing
hearts, and poor pressur to combat
the flames, but in spite of all efforts
of the fighters the entire top of the
building was eaten away, leaving the
house practically total wreck. The
property loss is estimated at about
$4,000, practically covered by insur-
ance. Luckily no other adjacent prop
erty was damaged due to the fact that
the air was calm and good work on
the part of the .kremen.

W. Wayne Thompson and Hugh A.
Thompson arrived in Belington Sun
day afternoon from Chicago by auto.
They left Chicago Thursday morning
at 10 o'clock due south on the Dixie
Highway via Danville to Indianapolis,
thence over the National Highway via
Dayton, Springfield, Columbus, Zanes-
vile, O., Wheeling to Uniontown, Pa,
over all cement, gravel, brick and
macadam roads. After leaving Un-
iontown due south the roads were in
bad shape until the Improved Roads
were touched in Barker district. They
used about 26 gallons gas; had no
puncture, no breakdowns and had good
weather until they reached Pennsyl-
vania. The trip was made in forty
hours, travling about 700 miles.

SAYS SCIENTISTS
SEEK BLACK LIGHT
Army Chemists Hunting For
Invisible Rays.

Washington Major General George
o. Squier, chief signal officer Of
the army, scientist and radio ex-
pert Of International reputation, and
other scientists for months have been
experimenting with "black light" or
invisible light rays.
An important contribution to milf
tfry science is expected to result from
these experiments, which up to date
have been almost uniformly success
full.
General Squier explained that
BLACK light Is the name which has
been given to light rays Of greater
wave length than those at the red end
Of the spectrum, or Of lesser length
than those at the violet end.
The construction of the human eye
is such that these rays make no inn
preston upon the optic nerve For
this reason they are invisible under
ordinary conditions.
SO far, the experiments conducted
by the army with "black light have
dealt primarily with the problem OF
devising apparatus that will make
possible their use in signaling. Their
possibilities are by no means limited
to signaling.
The invisible light signaling system
as now conceived is not unlike the
Photograph, except that the new"
rays are used instead Of the flash Of
sunlight as projected by mirrors. The
advantage Of using invisible rays over
the Photograph in time Of war, there
fore, is obvious. Signals sent by this
means would be practically incapable
of interception. Another advantage
is that "black light" rays can be gen
Grated artificially and are not depend
ent on atmospheric conditions.

line. 1t is an exact establishment
of this line of relative naval
strength that has been worked out
Naval Bases in Pacific.
The figure may be significant.
Naval officers have always con-
tended that it would require a two
to one preponderance of forces to
carry battle to Japan across the
Pacific, if the attacking power
lacked bases well out toward that
side. because of the possibility of
accidents to ships, although a near
by base might quickly have refitted
them. Here is where the great i'm
portance of naval bases in the Pa
cific. not touched on by Mr..
Hughes, lies. On the five to three
ratio of naval strength, officers say
that preponderance would not be
available to Great Britain or the
United States. 1t would take joint
forces to furnish the ships and
then, because of double drains and
divided command, experts think a
three to one preponderance neces-
sary to make certain the result.
Another Element.
Another element of the Ameri~
can program yet to be explained is
the statement as to the Inverse
ratio" Importance of the merchant
marine, compared to naval strength
maintained by any power. That
means that as the size of the naval
force goes down. the possibilities Of
turning merchant vessels into war
ships by mounting guns on their
decks go up. With few fighting
ships to meet. armed merchantmen
would be themselves fighting craft
ready for battle with ships of their
kind. If all navies were scrapped
Great Britain would have an over
whelming preponderance in poten-
tial naval strength due to her
twenty million tons of cargo and
passenger steamers as against the
merchant fleets of the United States
and Japan.
Apparently the American dele
cation was influenced by some such
consideration as this in reaching
the figures as to size OF navies to
be maintained on a -competi-
tive basis It proposed.
Plans to Tie Worked Out.
Plans to be worked out into rules
to govern convertibility Of mer-
chant tonnage for war will have to
do with reinforcing decks to carry
the weight of guns. prohibition of
actual gun emplacements on steam
ers; restrictions as to material fab
ricated for quick installation on the
ships to make them over into war
craft.
It seems likely that the American
naval experts have we'll advanced
ideas on this matter to be put for
ward later If agreement on strictly
naval limitation seems probable.

The army reserve systems of the
powers vary widely. In the British
empire the volunteer system large
ly prevails although there is COM

some of the dominions, including
Australia, New Zealand and South
Africa, and modified conscription
in Egypt and Sudan. The United
States has only voluntary liability
for military service. while France.
Italy and Japan employ systems Of

Trained reserves available under
these systems are estimated as fol-

Aviation STRENGTH.
There is a rather striking dispar-
ity in figures as to the permanent
aviation strength, including both
army and navy air forces, main
tanned by the powers. IT, British
royal air for"o includes a personnel
of about $4,000. and there are some
additional units among the domin-

the United States. actual strength,
is 1851, authorized 23.119. with
the number of navy officers for
aviation not as yet determined
Japan, 8 $50 and being increased;
France. 42.516 and Italy. 1885.
On the basis of non-perishable
military supplies procured during
the war and still available for issue
TO troops, the probable strength
which each power could put in the
field in a reasonable short time is
estimated as follows: British en-
pire, from 100000 to 100000
men: France. 100000; Italy, A.
$4,000; Japan, 100000; United
States, 100000.
In ratio to the populations Of the
