AMERICA’S GREATEST CIGARETTE Wilson expressed his view PRESIDENT HAS FORFEITED LIBERTY Unable to Speak at Manassass Observance 14.—President of the gravity of the international situation which confronts the United States vesterday to a delegation of Virgin- ians who asked him to visit the Man- assass battlefied late this month. “We are all hoping and praying that the skies may clear,” said the Fresident. “but we have no control of that on this side of the water, and it is impossible to predict any rart of the course of affairs.” The President has reminded that some time ago he had promised to go to Manassass to dedicate a tablet. “When I made the promise,” the president told the delegation, ‘“things were just beginning and a great many things have happened since which have altered not only the aspect of cur own affairs but the aspect of affairs of the world. My experience here day by day is that questions turn up so suddenly and have to be Landled so promptly and sometimes with so much thoughtful discretion that I really dare not let my thoughts 20 out to other matters. “I could not come to Manassass without having something to say. It would not be worthy of the occasion if I did make preparations that would be worth while and that is out of the question. My thoughts are mort- gaged beyond recall for the present. “I simply feel that I have for- feited my liberty for the present and that my nearest duty is the most cbvious and imperative duty. I have Leen obliged to say this to all invi- tations, however, tempting in charac- ter and I would not be worthy of your trust if I did not come to such a conclusion, because I know that you want these international matters taken care of as best we know how and I ought not to send my thoughts afield.” FAIRY TALES AFLOAT IN CONSTANTINOPLE Greeks and Armenians Believe Mythical Stories of Allies Feats (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Constantinople, Aug. 25.—As in- stances of some of the remarkable war rumors afloat in the Turkish cap- ital, the Associated Press correspond- ent found that the following had cir- culation and credence among a large number of Greeks and Armenians, and even some uninformed Turks: Mythical Stones. That American engineers were en- gaged in digging a canal across the narrow part of tne Gallipoli Penin- sula; that lae Anglo-French allies had built and put into operation a railroad twenty-five kilometers long, and that the Allies were now busy re- building the Greek towns along the Dardanelles and the Aegean sea, which were destro,«d during the var- jous bombardments. Lastly, that the French and English would be mas- ters of the Dardanelles, Sea of Mar- mora and the Bosphorus within four- teen days. There are, of course, no American canal huilders anywhere near the Dardarelles; there is no such railroad as the Allies are said to have built; the Greek lowns are in ruin as be- fore; and the fourteen-day period al- lowed for the penetration of the straits is recurrently prolonged. The rumors mentioned are not the most extravagant that one hears in Constantinople, they are merely those heard most often and seemingly be- lieved by a large number of the Grecks and Armenians. Seeking enlightment as to the rea- son for such an odd rumor as the preserce of American canal diggers, the correspondent learned from a Greck resident that the Allies had en- gaged American engineers to dig the supposed canal because they had such success in canal building at Panama, and that the object of the canal through the Gallipoli peninsula was to afford a channel for the Allied fleet to recach Constantinople without haviig to pase the Dardanelles’ forts, whose strength, no one here, even Greeks and Armenians, longer doubt. Idca Togical. Tre suggestion that such a canal would be the task of several years was altogether lost on the man who believed the rumor. The report that the Allies have built a military railroad from Sid-el- Bahr to a peint twenty-five kilome- ters north in even more widely be- lleved. The truth is that the Allies would have to run the railroad in circles in order to make it twenty- five kilometers in length unless it penetrated Turkish lines. & An attache of the American embas- sy in Constantinople had been so im- pressed with these reports of the railroad building, in fact, that even he besieged the Assoclated Press cor- respondent for the truth. False Reports Crime. The activity of persons who circu- late such rumors as are calculated to falsely impress the populace with the success of the Allies gives the mili- tary authorities considerable trouble. The penalty for such an offence may be as much as six years imprison- ment and a fine that may mean the confiscation of all the property the offender has.

EADS HOW IS AHOBO; ALSO A MILLIONAIRE | The hoboes of New York, under the auspices of J. Eads How, St. Louis millionaire hobo and head of the International Brotherhaod Wel- fare association, celebrated Labor day with a long walk from the Bowery and a “Mulligan stew” at "Fort George. Two hundred tickets at 10 cents each were sold to as many sons of rest and knights errant of indus- trialism. But the dime was required merely as a token of “appreciation,” for the ‘“eats” and entertainments of the occasion were beyond price. Fort George Casino, no longer the rendez- vous of scions of wealth, was turned over for the occasion Before a huge fire observed stirring with a broomstick the ingredients of that Mulligan stew.

'MEET GAS ATTACKS WITH FIRE BOMBS Sir Hiram Maxim Tests Plan and Finds it Practical (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) London, Aug. 31.—The British army plans to fight the German gas attacks with fire, This is the scheme recommended by a committee of in- ventors headed by Sir Hiram Maxim, who has designed a simple apparatus Wwith the government is now testing. The object of the apparatus is to cause large and rapidly spreading fires by means of specially-designed incendiary bombs thrown in the path of the advancing gas at a distance of several hundred yards. By this means since the heating of the air must cause an upward current, it is ex- pected to drive the gas out of harm’s way. Maxim’s Scheme., Sir Hiram’'s explanation scheme is as follows: “The German gas at one here of pressure is two and a half times as heavy as air. In escaping into the air it very quickly becomes mixed with a large quantity of air, so that by the time it reaches our trenches it is, as a rule, less than 1 Ler cent, heavier than the surround- ing air; that is, it is extremely light as compared with the air, but it is quite strong enough to prove fatal. In most cases we find the air that has only one-thousandth part of chlorine is the one that has done the most harm. Drive Gas Upward. “It occurred to me some months ago that, if a fire could be produced between the gas and our trenches, the rapid uward movement of the air would take the chlorine along with i and this is quite true. The bombs that I made were to thrown by hand, but it was found that in order to be thrown any distance, they { had to he made quite small, and moreover, they could not he thrown as far as the officers wished to throw them. 1 delivered 100 to the govern- mcnt for experimental purposes. A few of these have been tested, and it was found that the fire should be greater and farther away, so I have designed a very much simpler and larger form. The firm in London who purposes to make them have de- signed a machine for throwing them with great accuracy a distance of 300 vards, which will be quite enough. By this means a fire of any size may be produced and if the fire is large enough the gases must be dissipated; i+ cannot be otherwise. 1 “The first bombs I designed of the atmos- be in- GUARANTE FOR COLLEGE recommengag b The following are specially as for general service.
