HARJRISBURG gfafeflP TELEGRAPH THIS INVENTION PROMISES MUCH Free Energy Generator Would Quiekly Win the War if Successful Washington, Oct. s.—Will a single stroke of inventive genius win this world war as it has won every other war the United States has ever fought? Despite President Wilson's warn ing that the country must not sit back and wait for a miracle, Wash ington is excited over a new inven tor's system that will, .if its inven tor's claims materialize, revolutionize warfare over night and end the con flict as suddenly with America vic torious. The system i? a "free energy gen erator," and its inventor is Garab6l T. K. Giragossian, an Armenian me chanic, who has been working on his plan in Boston the greater part of twenty-six years. Here ure some of the things he says it will do: Drive a battleship any distance, without stop for fuel. Propel an airplane around the world. Give an airplane strength to carry thousands of pounds of mu nitions. I Enable an airplane to wear ar mor heavy enough to turn any anti aircraft gun's missiles. Send torpedoes at greater speed. Practically double the speed of steam engines. Other than to state tliat his sys tem of utilizing free energy is as revolutionary as Franklin's discovery of electricity, Giragosslan has not publicly described his theory. So radical are his assertions that they would be dlsmessed with a shrug and a smile, had he not in secret demonstrations backed up his state metns. Official action has been taken and if he can make good on a big scale the United States will con tribute more powerfully than any imagination had conceived to win ning the war from Germany. In secret tests Giragossian con viivc dthe House Committee on Pat ents. The committeemen are Rep resentatives C. B. Smith, Robert Grosser, J. C. McClintie, H. B. Sea gall, C. E. Campbell, W. A. Bomjue, H. J. Drane, J. I. Nolan. H. W. Wat son, E. E. DenisonjF. g. Furnell, G. B. Francis and M. E. Bacon. This committee studies the system, to he called Garabed and prepared a bill authorizing Giragossian to demon strate his theory for the Secretary of the Interior. If it succeeds the government is to have the right to list it for any and all purposes. No other, except Giragossian, how ever, may make use of it. That was his only request. The Patents Committee persuaded the Committee on Rules there was something in "Garabed" with the re sult that the Rules Committee in duced the House to lay aside all other business and pass the bill. After debate, the bill went through with a whoop the vote being 234 to 14, with five voting present. Con gressmen and others who have heard of the mysterious power generating system, are asking themselves what it is all about. Giragossian, although willing to tell what his plan will ac complish, is not yet ready to describe it. Members of the Patents Com mittee are under pledge of secrecy.

He will appear in Harrlsburg at the Orpheum Theater on Christmas Day. The tour will begin at New York City and it is stated the engagement will be limited to the time stated. In Ilfcrrisburg Lauder is known to many persons who saw him when he made other tours. His latest ap pearance was about two years ago. While in the city he will speak at a big meeting before the local Young Men's Christian Association. Lauder is one of the big features on the stage to-day who has es chewed farewells. He has repeatedly tc-ld his audiences that he would soon be with them again and thousands have looked forward to that fact. Hut like many other things and fields of endeavor, the great world war has changed things for the famous come dian.

Lauder's life cen tered in tliis boy of twenty-four years on whose brest rests the D. S. O. and who was twice wounded in action be fore he finally met his fate at Arras. Lauder shaped his life so that he might provide for that boy everything that the father had to deny himself in youth. Captain John was an en gineer. Harry in his youth was a pit boy in the coal mines, earning a few shillings a week. To-day the come dian is a man of wealth, but the in centive to increase it has vanished with the death of his son. He spoke about this in a recent letter to Mr. Morris and consented to make a fare well American tour mainly because in this land he made not only fame but a great part of his fortune, and he wants not only to greet his many friends again from his favorite ros trum, but he has a message to bring to this country, and now that it is an ally of his native land in the war against the Hoche and that message he will deliver to every man in Amer ica who can get within the sound of his voice, and the message will be a ringing one.
