Less Than 4,000 Legs and Arms Lost
by Yanks.
Washington.—Less than 4,000 arms
and legs were sacrificed by the A. E.
F. on the battlefields of France.
This figure was revealed by the
War Risk Insurance Bureau which
provides artificial limbs for all men
disabled in military service against
Germany.
One hundred and tweny-five men
suffered total blindness from Hun gas
and shells, although there is hope that
some of these may regain their sight.
Five hundred artificial limbs have
already been furnished disabled men.
Protection the Oceans Afford Us.
An American is quoted by an Eng-
lish review as rebuking his country-
men who have not risen avidly to the
bait of “resonsibility and duty to the
world” in these words: “The Atlan-
tic and the Pacific are just as wide to
most people in America now as they
have been during the whole of Ameri-
can history.” The inference intend-
ed to be conveyed is that the world
war disclosed that our geographical
icolation is more imaginary than real;
that, instead of being protected by the
great waters, our shores have been
made as vulnerable to aggressive
enemies in Europe or Asia as is the
soil of France to Germans. Hence,
we are instructed that a league of na-
tions is the only possible prescription
for safety and it is our duty to ac-
cept mandatories in the Near East
and anywhere else that Europe may
desire to have us take up its burden.
Is the Atlantic ocean any narrower
than it was before the war? The
question is not raised here with any
object of pointing an argument
against a league of nations or of be-
littling conceptions of American duty
that are being vigorously asserted.
What did the war experiences impress
as to the probability of a foreign
enemy successfully invading our
land by way of the seas? That is
the only way any country except Can-
ada or Mexico could attack us. For
some years before 1914 the popular
British nightmare took the form of
a German invasion of England by sea
or air. The British navy made short
work of the German marine. Al-
though air raids could not be prevent-
ed, it was proved conclusively that no
hostile force that need be feared
could be landed in England from the
clouds, in spite of the closeness of the
enemy shores and enemy bases in
Belgium. The ill-starred ennterprise
at Gallipoli demonstrated the futility
of operations of the kind which would
have to be undertaken by an Euro-
pean or Asian enemy of the United
States.
But did not the ferrying of hun-
dreds of thousands of Canadian and
millions of American troops across the
Atlantic with practically no loss due
to enemy activities prove the feasi-
bility of military operations, backed by
naval powers, against a distant coun-
try? We incline to the negative?
Only in case this country should be
derelict in providing adequate naval
and coast defense would it be possible
for an enemy to affect a landing on
our shores. No country could suc-
cessfully carry on war against the
United States until it had swept our
flag from the seas. Should any one
do that we might surrender, but we
still would have our coast defense and
army with which to repel invasion.
We might be bottled up, which would
be uncomfortable and humiliating,
but we would be in a pretty large bot-
tle and would not suffer greatly.
The ocean remains our great nat-
ural defense and their narrowing by
modern inventions
pleaded as reason why we should form
alliances which before the world-war
were repugnant to us.
Historic Guns at Capitol.
Harrisburg,—Two of the three can-
non presented to the Continental Con-
gress by Lafayette when he came to
the aid of the Colonies in the Revolu-
tion are to be mounted at the en-
trance of the Capitol, carriages cor-
responding to the period in which
they were used having been bought by
the State. These cannon were part
of a quintet that were placed on
trestles in front of the Mexican war
monument in Capitol Park and which
were removed to the State Arsenal,
where they were ordered overhauled
recently by Adjutant General Beary.
A third cannon, which bears the La-
fayette arms, is to be mounted in the |
Capitol Park extension when the
landscaping work is finished. Nearit |
will be placed two cannon captured
from the Mexicans. One of these
which bears the name of Cerro Gordo
is a fortification piece and will be
mounted on one of the old style car- |
riages used on ramparts.
A number of Civil war cannon which
are at the State Arsenal and some
which were used in the Spanish war
also will be placed in the park. The
captured Spanish cannon brought
from Cuba has been remounted and
placed at the entrance of the State
Library. In all probability some of
the German cannon captured by the
Pennsylvania troops will be displayed
in the park. Except for the War of
1812 and the war with Germany every
war in which troops from this State
participated is
ordnance.

Pure Tonic Value
In Peptiron, to the Last Particle of
the Medicine.
The new and real iron tonic, Pept-
iron, is prepared in the convenient
form of chocolate-coated pills, easy
to take, easy to carry about with you;
no water, no alcohol, no opiate.
Peptiron is the essence of economy,
the acme of efficiency. It is readily
assimilated; acts promptly and pow-
erfully upon the blood and nerves,
corrects all run-down conditions,
reates an appetite, gives stomach
comfort and healthful digestion. It
wards off impending illness, bridges
over the danger spots, and increases
power of resisting disease.
Do not put off treatment in these
times so perilous to health, but get
Peptiron and begin to take it today,
two after each meal.
Youll not regret being particular
to get Peptiron, and no other. Like
many others, you will be surprised at |
its promptness in building you up.

New Wireless Achievements.
In a recently published article Dr.
J. A. Fleming, a British wireless ex-
pert, calls attention to some notable
developments of wireless telegraphy
and telephone in the past few years.
Among the most important, he says,
are the advances in the directional
wireless telegraphy. Directional re-
ceiving stations are operated in pairs
so that with the aid of trigonometry
it is an easy matter to determine the
exact location of ships or air craft.
This method was used by the Ger-
mans to locate their airships when
hidden from view by clouds. The
British also made use of it for spotting
German aircraft with quite a differ-
ent object in view.
Dr. Fleming says that four direct-
ional wireless stations are now estab-
lished on the coasts of Canada. These
make it possible for ships, fog-bound
several hundred miles distant, to as-
certain their position with compara-
tively little dificulty. He believes
that the control of air craft by means
of directional wireless stations is des-
tined to be of the greatest impor-
tance. 3
We are reminded by the article that
telephonic sounds can be made suffi-
ciently loud to be heard by aviators
above the noise of their engines.
(It will be reealled that wireless ex-
perts connected with the U. S. army
and navy have worked out wireless
apparatus which was successfully
used in the latter days of the war and
since for transmitting the sound of
the human voice between stations on
the ground and airplanes in the air.)
To effect wireless telephony, Dr.
Fleming says it is necessary to radiate
from an aerial wire electric wave
whose amplitude is regulated accord-
ing to the air pressure of the air
wave produced by articulate speech.
Aerial messages from a distance are
received by means of a valve director
which makes it possible to hear clear-
ly. These receivers are so sensitive
that aircraft no longer requires a
long trailing aerial wire but may re-
ceive by means of a small inclosed di-
rectional aerial mounted on the ma-
chine.
To a limited extent wireless tele-
phone messages can now be transmit-
ted across the Atlantic and probably
between Great Britian and Australia.
The Marconia company, according
to a statement made by one of its
officials, expects the establishment of
a regular commercial wireless tele-
phone service between London and
New York early next year. Calls to
central offices may be necessary at
first in order to talk between Europe
and America, but the company hopes
in time to evolve methods for relaying
messages over private wires so that
subscribers on either side of the At-
lantic may converse with persons on
the other side the same as by ordinary
telephones. :
Pocket wireless, the Marconi official
predicted, will be in every-day use at
no distant date. Then, he said, 2a man
'may be called by the ringing of a
' telephone in his pocket. On putting
the receiver to his ear he may hear
the voice of someone in an airship
traveling at a high rate of speed, per-
haps hundreds of miles distant.—Ex.
Russia's Greatest Ruler.
i St. Petersburg, the modern capital
of Russia, now known as Petrograd,
was founded in 1703 by Peter the
Great, who died 194 years ago. Pe-
ter first built a small hut for himself
and a few wooden hovels. The ma-
jority of nobles, however, preferred
that Moscow should remain the seat
of government, but Peter was deter-
rained to build a new capital, and in
1711 he laid, with his own hands, the
foundation of his palace, which was
built of brick. Peter was an extraor-
dinary character and Russia’s rise tn
& great power was entirely due to his
genius.

About the Lumber Famine.
This week the newspapers contained
the news that a lumber famine is im-
minent. But this is no surprise,
whatever, as how could it be otherwise
when one of our heritages has been
ruthlessly wasted and the surprise is
that the lumber has not been exhaust-
ed long ago. What a splendid land
this was years ago, when covered with
a vast expanse of virgin timber. Of
course much of it had to be cleaned
for habitations and for cultivation,
but if reforestation had followed cut-
ting from the first and all lumbering
been carried on in a scientific and prop-
er manner the forests would have
been made perpetual and there would
be great stretches of timber today
over vast sections of wasteland as des-
olate as a desert. It seems strange
that a great country like ours should
allow its splendid natural heritages to
be wantonly destroyed. Millions of
dollars are spent every year for the
erection of great public buildings,
laden with costly ornaments, and for
many other unnecessary purposes,
while the rivers are allowed to reek
with filth, the game birds, animals
and fish to suffer and the woodland to
burn over every year for want of
sufficient money to protect them prop-
erly. This is a sad state of affairs to
exist in the greatest country on the
face of the earth, and is truly enough
to make us hang our heads in shame
when we think how much superior in
this respect the European countries
are to us, where the natural heritages
are guarded with jealous care.
