Berlin, June 80 Omitted Press)-
German scientists, in secret, ara
seeking the great?-Ray, which may
prove the key to waging the next,
war. - 81
The Interallied disarmament 0m-
mission realizes this full well, but
cannot ferret out the exast sources
of the EXPERIMENTS. nor can it very
we'll under it's powers prevent the
scientific research. .r . VIZ, 70
The?-Ray in itself may or may
not be warlike: it may prove too a.
boom to humanity. Hence the com
mission is powerless to act, but it
knows that if German, science keeps
up its record Of other years it has
good chance to, discover this hid
den ray which scientists of other
nations, too, are hunting IS, q pos
sible war weapon. shyit'ft!
The question-mark ray lies sonia-
where between the X-Ray and thu
ultraviolet ray. There are, with
rays series Of octaves, as in music.
The field between the. X-Ray and,
the ultraviolet ray consists Of sew
eral octaves--an untouched field,
which may contain ray that would
strike death and distinctions to
peoples and their goods. %trs

The Interallied disarmament COM
mission also finds that the German
militarists are badly delaying work
which should long since have been
accomplished. -, 1870
This information came from "a
member of the commission who
pointed out that particularly, with
the matter Of munitions factories
allowed Germany for present army
there's tendency to balk the en-
tcntc representatives at every turn
The central government y, under
Chancellor Wirth is not blamed for
this proceeding. In fact, entette
officials who have had business HE
transact with the chancellor find,
him an honest, straightforward
man who has done more than any
other official since the war toward
the fulfilment of German !. obltSA-
