\ BUGLER At BELLEAU

There IS much I'm the haunting poe
try Of the suggestion Of the novelist,
Ernest Poole, that instead Of erecting
monument at Bcllcau Wood we sta
ton there a bugler who every evening
year after year. would send the call OF
APPS out over those silent graves.
Tho beauty Of the idea is compell-
ing. Merely TO picture the scene in
imagination quicRons tho emotions.
The fading light, the lcugthcning
shadows. The diminishing sounds Of
day tho calm OF night stealing over
tho French countryside wrapping
those silent graves IN a moro profound
atillncss. Then. suddenly, the martial
blaro OF the buglc, brazen, yet soft
with that Infinite melancholy which
IS taps. The soldiers day is done. lie
Is at rest.
Yes, It Is a poetic idea. beautiful
idea, a dramatic idea. AN idea instinct
with patriotism.

GERMAN INVENTION
HARlENS SOFT WOOD
BY CARL D. eRoAT

Omitted Press Staff Corresponding
BERLIN, July 18.-Conyersion of
pine, poplar and other ordinary woods
into hard wood, comparable in all re-
spects to ebony, mahogany and the
like, is possible under a new German
invention
Rights to this invention have been
obtained by Albert Theodore Otto,
New York business man, who repre-
sents in America the great Krupp con-
Germ.
Otto believes that the invention will
have marked effect upon the hard
wood industry of the world. causing a
vast drop in the importation of ma
hogany, ebony and such woods.
The device consists in a hydraulic
apparatus, which congresses ordinary
soft woods to the point where they
are so heavy that they will sink in
water. Any desired color of wood can
be obtained by putting a stain
through the wood fiber under force
before the actual compression of the
wood is accomplished. Then the
whole structure has the same color.
Ebony is obtained with black STAIN
