ONTINUING his Atlantic City discussions, Sir Arthur said: 1 had a long talk one morn= ing with a Mr. Weintrob, a well known citizen of the town. He has had some very curious mani- festations of psychic power. In the year 1907 he was lying in his bath and had just turned on the water when his soul left his body and he had an amazing series of adventures, which ended, after many journeyings, in his being aware that he was with- in some foreign pulace nnd seeing there two pictures, one of which rep- resented a ship laboring in a heavy sea and the other a combat of giants. 1t was explained to him that the real meaning of these pictures the combat of the spiritual against the material. When he woke from his vision the bath was not yet quite full, so that the whole occupled léss than half a minute. Seven years later, in the spring of 1914, he was sent by the American government as a delegate on agricul- tural matters to the Balkan ctates While there he had a long interview with Carmen Sylva, Queen of Ruma- in her palace. To her he relatad vision. upon which she led him Into an adjacent room and <howed him the two pletures he had <een in his dream, with the remark that the artist had told her that thev were meant allegories as describad. elntrob's Strange Vision. Early in June. 1914, Weintrob had another vision, in which he saw tha ‘war, great bodies of men struggling with each other, and an assurance that it would all prove in the end t5 be for the ultimate spiritual benefit of mankind when the full message was learned. These visions appeared to be timed for every seven vears, as in 1931 he had another very long and clear one, which I will put down in detail In case the future should confirm it. He first saw & number of women and children in apparent agony, with long red worms, about a foot in lenxth, upon the ground around them. Thé word “Pestilence” in luminous letters peared before him. There he saw a great procession of women, all dressed in white, with blue crosses upon their sleeves. Above them was 1 and above him This proces- appeared to be spiritual messages among the poor and wretched of earth. “The Order of the Blue Cross” was the name conveyved to his mind. Tt was a curious. vivid. apocalyptic vision. though I agree that it needs no prophecy to foresee a pestilence as probable after the horrors of the Russian famine. We are all one body, and you cannot have a gangrenous limb and expect that the other organs will remain sound. Mr. Weintrob is less Iike a visionary than any man you could conceive— short. stocky, full-faced, but with kindly, human eyes. Sir Ph Gibbs Attacked. T have béguiled my time at Atlantic City, though rather sadly, by reading Gibbs' “More That Must Be Told.” It is not cheering reading. for he has & quick eye for the seamy side. But he has also a Teaching out for better things. which is the sign of a fine soul. But T wish he would efther leave spiritualism alone or else learn the first thing about it. for his only allu- sion to it Is an unworthy sneer. Sir Philip’s words are really worth quot- ing as an example of the strange ignorance which even so intelligent a an can show of this great modern movement, a movement which has deeply moved a saint like Wilber- force or a scientist like Crookes or Lodge. He calls it “reaching out into a spirit world by means of incanta- tions, spells and wizardries” It may Interest my friend Sir Philip to hear that T have been in touch with this t since 1836, and that in lon, T have never learned a spell. and the only wizards I have met_bear a close family resemblance to St. Paul and the apostles. But it is clear that Sir Philip is confusing a movement which bears no close re- semblance to any save that of the early Christians, with the abraca dadra pentagram business of the mid Tt is above most men, a keen spiritual side goIng out of his way to talk so wildly of a subject of which he knows noth ing. Ts it not a clear proposition that the first need of the age is to prove that there iz a life after death, the basis of all religion. and that we are the only people who undertake to do 80? We need to be more direct and practical and objective in our treat- ment of religious subjects, for we have had enough of those vague dog- matic faiths which have broken down 80 completely In the actual test of life and have ended In this horrible tragedy which has left 10,000,000 young men dead upon the ground. Observes “Invalid Chafrs.” One of the favorite amusements of Atlantic City when you are not mov- ing along the Boardwalk in the huge Invalid chairs—I thought at first that it was a population of convalescents —is to go down te Young's Million- Dollar pier and see the fish net being drawn. This occurs twice a day and is certainly well worth seeing. By some device which is beyond me, the fish are led up through a series of nets untll they finally assemble in a cul de sac, which i{s duly brought to the surface. They are very numer- ous and very varled—indeed, it is rather a horrible sight, that mass of pulsating life, flapping and beating in its vain struggle against extinction. Crabs predominate, red crabs by the hundred, and big king crabs, Iike huge horny tadpoles, never seen by me before save in museums and in paléozoic rocks.

Preésiding over the whole scene, meg- aphone in hand, was Mr. Young him- self, he who built the Millio llar pler, & democratic figure, as he shout- ed small jokes to the crowd and gave directions for the emptying of the net. It is certainly a sight to see once, though it leaves a repugnant feeling in the mind.

The marauders have fought several battles with gov- ernment troopa R fca is not as a rule impressed by hustle to the extent that Americans think. As a rule there is more snap and ginger in a London transaction than in an American one. There are. however, notable exceptions. When 1 saw upon the Saturday the huge emp- ty hall of the pier and was told that on the following Wednesday it was to be opened as a great rallway exhibi- tion, with engines which weighed 100 tons and machinery all actually run nlnr 1 was skeptical. But it all m: terlalised according to schedule. On the Wednesday it was one long line of exhibits, and humming from end to end with turning wheels and slid ing pistons. We were shown over by th mmittee ana were deeply im- pressed. Everything About Raflways. Everything conceivable connected with rallways was there, from the huge transcohtinental engine _al- ready mentioned to the latest bur- glar-proof catch for a truck, or the beAt cloth for lining a carriage. My head buzzed to match the wheels be fore I got out, for I have no brains for mechanics and it was a strain to try to understand it all. The most ingenious thing 1 saw was a little extra engine called a booster., running by its own electric power, which has its own wheels, and is slipped under the big ordinary engine, so as to give it extra power. Some genius had ob- served that there was unoccupied space under the engine and had thought that it could be filled like this. The booster is, T helieve, be- ing actually tried on the London and North Western railway, and it may prove one of those clever helps which come to us from the land of active brains. While we were at Atlantic City we had a visit from the Brooklyn friends to whom I have already alluded. If I suppress their name it is a prac- tical proof that the days of prejudice and persecution are not vet past. On the same day as the Houdin! incident already mentioned we had a pro- longed sitting at the hotel, in which once more the most solemn directions came to me, professing to be from the group of epirits who are the gen- erals of the psychic cause upon the other side. The names of Jumes, Hyalop and Myers came through. and they professed to speak for a larger body. Nothing could possibly have been more measured and more lofty than their general review of the situ- ation and their advice as to the best way of proceeding, though they did not seem to realize that I had ne claims to be an autocrat and that If 1 endeavored to become one I should be very unlikely to find others admit to such a position. T think that they lose touch with worldly realities when they are viewed from beyond. But the whole seance was most im- pressive and inspiring. At one period a spirit, who was sensed by the me- dium as a m broke in with the words. “I must apologize If T broke in 50 abruptly this afternoon.” T had not told the medium the remarkable way in which we had got the name of Powell through Houdini's hand, so that, although we falled to get the name, the incident seemed very sug- gestive. Houdl Confidence. 1 had an interesting talk today with Houdinl about his wonderful powers. Very naturally he gives mnothing away, for a trick explained loges its virtue. I am quite sure that if the Davenport brothers had done their performance as if it were a conjuring trick, and had never told the honest and unpopular truth that it was of paychic origin, they would have amassed a comfortable fortune and been far wiser from a worldly point of view—which, after all, is not the higliest wisdom when the end of the story comes to be told. Houdini has done marvelous leaps from high buildings, and on one occasion a spring from one airplane to another in midair. He is sustained. he says. by his perfect confidence that he real- can do it. “It all comes as eas stepping off a log.” But when he stands above some awful place from which he will spring, he has to wait patiently —sometimes for many min- utes—until something within him tells him that the time is ripe for his effort. This, he says. is universal among all men who do such stunts. If vou don’'t wait for that moment you “have about as much chance as a celluloid dog in hell” He was tempted once to trust himself instead unseen guides, and then he broke his meck. “You stand wallowing the yel low stuff that every man has in him. Then at last you hear the voice and you jump.” It may be the subcon- scious self which assures itself that all is well. It may be epiritual—but the fact is worth recording. If you jump into water from a great height, even a floating match may cause a wound. I had a lonk talk in New York with Col. Firth, who is one of the world pioneers of radio work. which is evidently going to be a great factor in the future life of the world. He explained to me that this system of broadcasting, by which any one who has an efficient receiver can get all the concerts, operas, sermons or lec- tures which are sent out, is going to make an enormous difference to the lonely farmers who here and in Canada form so considerable a part of the population. With no wires and mo expense save the Initial receiver they can keep In direct touch with all that is going on. and also receive market prices, weather reports and everything else that is needful. Col. Firth was about to present a set to every lighthouse keeper along the coast, and T only hope that our gov- ernment will follow suit. He informs me that though the public radio craze has not yet broken out with us to the same extent as here, we are none the less in a technical sense very well up in radio work, the best valves which iIntensify sound coming from England. How far the sound is mag- nified 18 determined by the number of these valves, and Col. Firth mentioned as & fact within his knowledge that the Britigh fitted up a receiver so delicate that from the coast they could get all the little German trench installations, which were enly meant mile or s0. The British also ad & system of range finders by which they could determine the exact position of any Germam submarine if the submarine ventured to send out a wireless. Many of their boats wers detected and destroyed by this method. Copyright by 8ir Arthur Ooman Do; Tor United States 4nd Great Beitata, 2" (To be countinued in temorrow’s Star.)

[ I g P"“‘-I;WJ DEATH NEAR GOAL HALTS WORLD TRIP Exhausted and Malnourish- ed, American Dies in Lone- some Chinese Town. BY JUNIUS B. WOOD. Special Cable to The Star and Chicagzo Daily News. ovember 7.—With his goal almost death in & lonesome village in Yunnan province has ended the courageous attempt of Hippolyte Martinet, an American, to walk around the world. Like many better sung and better known explorers, Martinet overcame all obstacles except the last. A letter from M. S. Meyers, American consul at Yunnan Fu to Consul Gen. William H. Gale at Hongkong. today reported that Martinet died at Hsalkwan, Yunnan province, on September 30, and was buried there by an American misslonary. Death, the letter says, was due to exhaustion and lack of proper nourish- ment. Had Premonition of Death. ‘When Martinet passed through Teng- HONGKONG, yeuh, in the western part of Yunnan province, e receding his death, it is believed that he had a pre monition of his coming end, for he called on the British consul at Teng- veuh and after arranging for forward- mall sum of money, requested nsul Gen. Gale, at Hongkong, be asked in case of accident him, to notify Miss Blanche Davis. Lo Angeles.” Consul Gale, after inquring of Miss Davis whether she wanted the money forwatd. on her instructions used the sum to place a marker over Martinet's grave. Martinet's sporting attempt to circle the globe on foot had aroused interest throughout the entire near cast and the orient. Britishers, especially. appreciat- ing the phrsical endurance necessary in the attempt, assisted him with small contributions wherever he stopped. Robbed on Arablan Desert. During last June Martinet tramped across the Arabian desert, from Bagdad to Jerusalem, being robbed of $20 en route by Bedouins, the money later be- ing recovered through the British politi- cal agent. There followed visits by him to Tigris and Basra in the killing heat of Mesopotamia summer. Then the British representative in Persia, on ac- count of the many dangers, refused Martinet a permit to continue on foot along the east coust of ‘the Gulf of Persia, and he took a boat from Basra to Karachl, from where he crossed into India, reaching Burma in August Martinet was an excellent phyeical specimen and frequently covered fifty miles a day. When American Consul Owens. at BRagdad asked him the purpose of his long trip. Martinet replied that he had walked from Seattle to New York and that he thought he might well con- tinue on around the worid. 1eached and the deserts of the near east safely passed, Martinet had covered the hardest portious of his globe-circling hike when death overtook him.
