World Rewards Genius
Who Perfected Clipper

The ripper" fastening, composed
of intermeshing teeth, which is now
made use of in many ways, was the
invention in 1914 of Gideon Sund-
back, a Swedish engineer working in
the United States. 1t was first sug-
gested as a safety device for pockets
and then applied to tobacco pouches
and finally to children clothing,
shoes. spare wheel covers, handbags,
suntents and many other purposes,
and the end is not yet in sight. Its
use has spread over the entire world
1t is manufactured by the mile in
the United States, Canada, Austria,
France and Germany.
Several previous efforts were made
to devise such a fastener. One was
the subject of a patent granted 10
years ago. A wealthy company was
formed to perfect and exploit the in
vention, but the design was lacking
in some particular and its operation
was unreliable, and so far as that
effort went the thing was a failure.
The shOrtcoming was subsequently
remedied by Sundback, and he is now
reaping a rich reward.

hitting attention, for in no other serv
ice was unpreparedness so evident and
so difficult to overcome. Apparently
there was earnest effort at home, but
it was too often misdirected.
On the part of the allies, especially
the French, lack of mechanics and de-
lay in procuring motors and material,
such as spruce. had given them a set
back. Due to these conditions and
their own increased programs the
French and also the Italians were un-
able to take more than small pro-
portion of our 1900 flying cadets who
were on the ground and who, under
agreement, were to be instructed by
them.
About this time the contract for
planes we had made in August was
formally abrogated, the French gov
eminent being unable to meet its con-
ditions due to the delay in receipt of
machine tools and raw materials from
the United States, possibility which
had been forecast in my cables to the
War department. In it's stead we later
made an agreement whereby We
should be dependent upon the allOt-
ment that might be made us accord
ing to the number of divisions we
might have in France.
Early in December l signed an
the British air board that we should
send $1,000 enlisted men to England
and maintain that number in training
in their aircraft factories and air serv-
ice stations. This plan proved to be
beneficial to both sides, as far as car
ried out, but especially to ourselves
in providing us with trained men and
saving us the necessity of establish
ing extra schools for teaching them
ourselves. Due to the nonshipment of
air personnel from home we lacked
$500 of reaching the number specified.
and later the need for line troops pre-
vented our completing the number.

Treaty Declared u. S. Not Christian Nation

The alteration of an Eighteenth
century treaty to make it declare the
United States was not a Christian ma
ton has been revealed after remaining
a secret for 12S years. The altered
document bears the regular ratifica-
ton of the senate.
Some obscure copyist or translator
is believed to have made the change.
David Hunter Miller, treaty editor,
has no explanation other than the sug-
gestion that it might have been the
work of some ardent advocate of Sec
ular freedom. possibly a disciple Of
Thomas Paine.
The statement appears in Article IL

November 4, 1896. Although spotted

Saw-Toothed Grasses
Fatal To Wild Animals

To the poets eye dewy blade of
grass may be "a cleaning sword"
but the similarity escapes the more
practical eye Of the elk. the deer, and
the moose. These unsuspecting ami
mails frequently learn, however. and
painfully so, that clump of grass
may be only a sheath of SPEARS
disguised as forage.
The biological survey Of the De-
partment of Agriculture finds that
the sharp, saw-toothed seed parts of
the squirreltail grass and other SIM
liar grasses on the western ranges
cause the death of many elk, deer
and moose. The needlelike tips of
the seed cases pierce the tender
membranes in the animals mouths
The jagged edge of the seed case re-
sembles porcupine quill, and after
it has penetrated the lining of the
mouth, every effort Of the animal
to get rid of it results only in fur
ther embedding the seed into the It's
sues. These injuries may become in
fected and lead to assesses and
eventually to death. Occasionally
an animal is found dead from starva-
ton because great wad of grass
lodged in one cheek had made it
impossible for the animal to eat.
The biological survey is attempt
ing to eradicate such Objectionable
grasses from the elk refuge in Wy
oming and from the Sullys hill game
preserve, North Dakota, where the
trouble has been in evidence.

CHAPTER XVI

The necessity for controlling the use
Of strong drink among our troops had
been brought forcibly to my attention
through the ease with which alco-
holic beverages could be obtained.
The use of light wines as part of
the French ration was simply the
continuance in the army of the uni
versal custom of the people of having
wine with their meals. The wines
and beer were not so Objectionable,
but strong alcoholic spirits were re-
garded by the French themselves as
dangerous and were prohibited for
their troops, but the prohibition was
not well enforced outside the zone
of the armies.
The problem of preventing our
troops from drinking the stronger
liquors was difficult, especially at the
forcement through conferences with
local authorities and through agree
mentS with the port and district Off
Gals were made from time to time
but with little result.
l finally appealed to Prime Minis
ter Clenlenceau for support, but he
would only counsel local officials, as
he did not wish to declare "state of
siege" (martial law. In the end it
was necessary to take the matter in
our own hands and declare every bar
and restaurant where the heavy LIQUOR
was sold as 'off limits" for our troops.
Our officers were directed to give
their personal attention to the enforce
ment of this order.
Vice in Army Denied.
About this time a cable was re-
ceived from Washington that some
publication at home had made a sweep
ing charge Of both immortality and
drunkenness against our men. No
such statement could be based on fact,
nor could it serve any purpose except
TO cause unnecessary anxiety to par
ents and relatives and perhaps salts
fly on the part of some one an un-
worthy desire for sensation. In reply
I cabled in part as follows:
"There has never been a similar
body of men to lead as clean lives

no lighting, but later on, even without
battle, he would have to break up
five divisions to maintain the others,
the six mounted cavalry divisions
would have to be reduced to four, and
before the end of the year the total
force would have to be reduced by
twenty divisions.
Foch Was for counteroffensive.
General Foch declared that the best
means of halting a strong and persist
ent offensive was a powerful counter
offensive.
THE German offensive at Verdun
was stopped not by our resistance
there but by our offensive on the Som
me in 1916" said General Foch. "Such
an operation is possible only when
foreseen and prepared beforehand. In
planning the counteroffensive l think
that the entire front must be consid-
cred as whole and not the French as
The plan must envisage them together
preparing for offensive action on a
common battlefield with all the forces
at their disposal"
General Robertson expressed accord
with Foch. but he did not see where or
with what means such an offensive
could be executed. and stated that the
war could not be won by remaining on
the defensive
Give us back the troops from Sa-
lonika and we will commence often
sives," said General Haig.
Eve were not speaking of often
sives. but of counteroffensives," Gen.
eral Foch replied.
General Robertson remarked that II
course the French and British could
reinforce each other and make coun-
terattacks. and then asked: "Could
they do more than tiat?"
mot without the Americans" Gen.
eral Petain answered him.
Dependent Upon U. s.
General Robertson then said: 81
think our only hope lies in American
reserves" and he wanted to hear from
me.
ITO BE CONTINUED.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1931-06-26

ish army than to ship whole divisions
with all their equipment and stores.
He believed that the British gov
eminent would take the task of re-
leasing temporarily some shipping en-
gagged in carrying food and raw mate
rails if America could see her way to
provide the men, although, he said, it
could not well undertake the trans
portation of complete divisions as not
enough men would be brought over in
this manner to justify the great risks
involved. In other words, the British
had the shipping to transport Ameri-
can battalions on condition that they
would serve in the British armies.
However, as General Robertson's
proposal would enable us to increase
our strength more rapidly. my prelim-
