Corncob Found to Hold Basic
Aid for Dye and Chemical Trade

lists against the powerful German
chemical monopoly for world suprem-
acy.
Department of Agriculture chemists,
in their efforts to find use for the
lowly corn cob, succeeded in the first
instance in developing from it a paste
that will find wide use as binder in
the manufacture Of fiber board and
wall board. One of the analysts un-
dertook some experiments with the
residue left after the paste had been
developed and discovered that it con-
tanned approximately 10 per cent of
high grade furfural.
Furfural is one Of the basic needs of
the immense chemical industry in the
manufacture of the whole vast range
OF coal-tar products, ranging from
dyestuffs to Photographic laboratory
materials. Prior TO the time the United
States entered the war one of the con
ditions which throttled chemical devel-
opment in this country was the Ger
man control of furfural.
Through the discovery Of the corn
cob as u source fer this chemical the
American chemical industry will be
able to manufa1 .are it cheaply.

Says Germany Is Gambling
Germany, Ike the other powel s.
has reached the gambling stage. Specu-
lating is the rage They are now in a
frame of mind where they prefer to
stake all on a gamblers chance rather
than work and build up again. 1t is
my opinion that Germany will col
lapse utterly within six months. She
IS without the materials for prod1c-
ton. Her coal, her gas, her cotton and
all the necessary materials for pro-
duction are gone. She has not the ma
terial and only on production can she
linger. Germany is through as @ first

the nations of the first class, but after

Srecial Dispatch to The Tribune

NORFOLK, Va, Sept. 25.-Torn from,
stem to stern by bombs dropped from
airplanes 5000 feet in TIE air. the old
oattleship Alabarle which has been the
target for air bombers since Friday. i,
still ahoat in Chesapeake Buy six
miles south by west of Tangier Island.
Aviators tried all day Saturday and
part Of last night to sink the old ship,
but she withstood the aerial attack and
swung her stern clear Of a 2,0OO-pound
bomb dropped from plane directly
her by inches, and when it exploded in
the water great columns of water were
thrown on her decks.
The air bombers dropped a number
of bombs on the ship. and when dusk
settled upon her last night she was
burning in several places. The fire
grew in fury, and all night long flames
and smoke poured out OF the ship.
The glare from the fire on the ship,
together with illuminated bombs
dropped by the attacking fleet of air
craft. Illuminated the waters Of the
bay for miles.
Heat Keeps Observers from Deck
The decks of the ship were so hot
when observers attempted to board
her after the BON bardment, they were
forced to abandon the attempt Fumes
from exploding gas bombs dropped
into the ship by aircraft before the
armor piercing bombs were dropped
were so strong the army and naval
officials who are observing the attack
on the ship were driven in haste from
the side of the ship.
hor,L ! =,
La Mont machine struck the cable hold
ing the anchor Of the Alabama and
parted it like so much twine A
volunteer crew from naval craft near
by succeeded in climbing the bow of
the ship and making another cable fast
to a second anchor. The Alabama was
adrift for some time before the second
anchor was made ready, but the aerial
bombers made no attempt to alta OK
her until she was made stationary.
The Alabama drifted to 800 yards of
where the old. battleship Indiana lies
sunk, herself a victim of bombs hurled
from the air by navy airmen.
Renewal of Attack To-day
Tomorrow morning airmen WILL
again attack the Alabama in the hope
that they can sink her. She will be
subjected to another attack at 2 o'clock
Tuesday morning. In this attack liquid
fire and 2,000pound armor piercing
bombs will be used.
SO far more than twenty armor pierre
ing bombs and probably thirty gas, tear
aud smoke bombs have fallen on the
deck of the doomed ship.
Her main deck is mass of twisted
iron and steel and her funnel has been
almost shot away. Her decks are
ripped from one end to the other and
two holes large enough to admit a
horse have been driven almost clear
through the ship by bombs hurled
from aloft. The old ship is still afoat,
however, but she will soon be con-
signed to fate similar to the one that
befell the old battleships San Marcus
and the Indiana, which lie few yards
away with only their superstructures
visible above the water.

Colonel Isaac ~ Lewis. U. S. A. re
tired), inventor of the famous Lewis
gun and himself manufacturer Of
armament, said last night on t1e White
Star liner Cedric that the world must
disarm and that no nation is better
able to lead the way than the United
States.
He had been in Europe more or less
since 1913, his last trip to England
and the Continent being made in July
Of this year, and he expressed the con-
viction last night that all of Europe is
facing a financial and business col
lapse. He excepted no nation and said
that want in its worst form would be
apparent there this winter, with even
bread lines in the streets Of London.
President Harding, he said. was
looked upon by the people of Europe
as great-hearted, sincere man who
rad the courage of his convictions,
and who would speak his mind openly
on great questions affecting the exist
ence and the welfare of mankind He
said he got it from the clubs. hotels,
workshops and the streets Every
where he found the prestige Of the
President ascending rapidly.
Feel His Heart Is iigh.
There is All enormous confidence in
President Harding felt by the people
Of Europe he said. at is apparent t
everywhere. especially in England It
is feeling of confidence that his heart
is right and that he said a wonde rfu /
thing when he proclaimed that sit a
world war; must never happen again.
Europe as whole welcomed his call
for a conference for arms limitation.
1t was something that touched the
heart Of every war-weary, tax-Gur-
dened soul
THE people are through with unwar-
ranted armament and will no longer
stand for an expenditure of 30 per
cent of the nations income from taxa
ton to be plundered in arms and the
waste that accompanies it.
II am q gunman. My work has had
to do with arms and war aud /, too,
feel that great armies and uavies and
implements Of war must er5d and end
quickly. There is no nation to-day that
can stand it and there is NO nation bet
ter able to take the lead than is the
United States. The day of the big
battle ship is over. We need waste no
more time and money ON dreadnoughts
for the next war, whenever it comes,
will be contested in the air.
Blames Indifference to Work
Colonel Lewis has an exceedingly
pessimistic opinion of the financial and
economic situation In Europe and he
blamed what he described as a deplora-
BILE condition upon lack of production
