TUNGSTEN WIRE MAY BE
MADE INVISIBLE TO EYE

Tungsten, the metal of which the
modern electric bulb flament is
made, can be drawn into wire so
fine as to be invisible to the naked
eye except when held against the
sunlight.
A pierced diamond is used as the
die through which the wire is
drawn. This very fine tungsten
wre is used chiefly in fuses for
delicate electrical experimental in
struments, where the slightest ex-
cess In current would destroy the
intricate and costly apparatus
When such a rise in the current
occurs the tungsten wire melts
and the circuit is broken.

Joseph P. Dumas, Boston man.

Abraham Elpert, Of Boston, and
John J. Koffler, Of New York,
for alleged conspiracy to trans
port stolen cars in interstate
commerce.
In cross-examination, Dumas
placed the number of automobiles
stolen in the United States in
1922 at 10000, and said that the
majority had been stolen with
the connivance of their owners.
Later, in reply to questions by
government counsel, the witness
said he referred to insured cars,
but that his company was often
interested in cars that had not
been insured.

REFORMED TURKEY

A dispatch to The Herald tells us
that even if the Turks recover Con-
stantinople they are likely to keep
the capital back in the hills at An
CORA. Aside from the obvious rea-
son-that Angora is out of gunshot
of the British Navy-the dispatch
menions another. The Turkish Ma
tional Assembly is dominated by
pious rural deputies. The men from
up the creek are in control; and they
hate and fear Constantinople as "a
wicked, irreligious big city," where
the Turkish boy from the farm learns
to drink and gamble. and the Turkish
girl from the small town learns to
go without the veil.
Consantinople, of course, is real
city, and with an ancient i'll repute
not altogether undeserved, But the
farers who rule at Angora are not
thinking of the scandals related by
Cibbon. Here is a city unprotected
by any home rule charter. Kipling' S

the Kaiser in an unhappy light. Wal
dersee wrote:
"Last year everything went much
better. Now his confidence has in
creased, but also his exaggeration of
his own capacity. In my opinion the
monarch has certain comprehen-
sion of parade-ground exercises, but
not of the actual command of troops.
He lacks any war experience
The Kaiser is extraordinarily rest
less. rushes here and there, is much
too near the front, interferes in the
work of the Generals, gives innumer-
able and often contradictory orders
and listens to hardly any advice"
Time has made US familiar with
the picture. The Kaiser wanted to be
the whole battle. Well, after couple
of days of this, William announced
that he would command the Sixth
Corps in the sham battle of the fol-
lowing day. It happened that Valdez
see had so fixed the conditions for
that battle that the Sixth Corps would
probably lose. "The Kaiser did not
! suspect this"-and Waldersee didn't
tell him. Everybody else knew what
was afoot; Enthusiastically" says
! Waldersee, there was general salts
! faction among the prineely personages
who happened to be present, and their
retinues. From many quarters | was
thanked for letting his Majesty get
what was coming to him. | replied
that | did out of a sense of duty"
No doubt he did, but in doing it he
cut his own throat.
| For the Kaiser's generalship was
so bad that what little chance the
Sixth Corps might have had was lost.
At the close of the day, when the
Kaiser's force had been constructive
ly annihilated, it was Waldersee's
painful duty to comment on and crit
icise the handling of the troops, in
! the presence of staff oflifficers and
visiting princes, who kept a sharp
eve on the Kaiser William was first
surprised, then very sober; when Wal
dersee had finished, the Kaiser pro-
fessed himself in entire agreement
with the criticisms, but then tried to
exculpate himself, and was unfor-
tunately rather feeble in his exposi-
ton" The manoeuvres continued; Viii
| liam made more mistakes. He took
Waldersee's discreet criticism well
enough, but in private conversation
with his friends he kept going back
to that defeat of the Sixth Corps. 1t
couldn't have happened, the Kaiser
argued, but for the conditions preced-
ent which had been fixed by Valdez
see. William was convinced that he
had been framed" .a
Soon after an effort was made to
remove Waldersee. 1t failed, but a
! few months later the Kaiser told his
Chief of Staff that he was to COM
mand the iltona corps. BY way of
consoling Waldersee, who thought
, his career was ruined (as it was), the
Kaiser said that it would be just as
well if the Chief of staff were some

Generals VINO would command field
armies. No more of that great posi-

to loot The rural Turks, true to
modern psychology, look on Constan-
tinople and exclaim, "What a city to
leform," In Turkey as in. America
the precepts of religion were insult
ficent to make everybody stop drink
ing; so Turkey, like America, passed
a prohibition law. The Grand National
Assembly has now gone on to forbid
the Importation of foreign luXuries,
such as silk stockings, corsets, hip
sticks and playing cards. In Amer
lea, a couple Of years ago, the dis.
carding of the corset was a proof
that women were going to the dogs.
Turkey prohibits corsets as the para
phernalia, of unrightepusness. The
expression may be contradictory, but
the underlying principle is the same.

THE WAR LORD

The few Americans who recall the
names Of Alfred Count Won Waldersee
probably remember him as command
err of the allied expeditionary forces
in China in 1900, though he didn't
get there in time to see much fight
ing. 1t is thirty years and more since
Waldersee was the great man of the
German Army, the successor of
Moltke, destined leader of that war
on two fronts which Moltke and
Waldersee and Caprivi expected every
year in the later SOS and the earlier
'9Os. WalGersee became Moltlt's as
sistant on the General Staff, when
he needed somebody to share the
work, because Caprivi, Bismarck's
choice for the post, was regarded as
TOO Independent to get along with
the old man. The assistant naturally
got the job when Moltke retired in
1888. h
Waldersee at that moment was the
most powerful military man in Eu-
rope. He was also strong at court
Like other wise men in the Germany
of the SOS, he had turned from the
setting to the rising sun, and made a
friend of the young Prince who was
to become William II. 1t was at
Waldersees house that William be-
came entangled in some political-re-
!igious enterprises which brought
him his first reproof from Bismarck;
and it was Waldersee who craftily told
the young Emperor that Frederick
the Great would never have had
chance to be great if he had had a
Bismarck in his service. When Bis
marck fell it might have seemed that
Waldersee's high position was Sc
cure. Yet only a few months later
Waldersee was suddenly denoted to
command of the Altoona army corps,
and Schlieffen ruled the General Staff
in his stead. Light on this sudden
catastrophe comes from Waldersee's
memoirs, left in manuscript TO his
nephew and now published eighteen
years after his death.
1t happened at the Kaiser mano-
euvres of 1890, where the Supreme
War Lord appeared as commander
of an army and Waldersee was chief
umpire. The first day or two showed
