Further, there are 1,091 all steel cars ih course of construction. Estimates in the hands of the Interstate Commerce Commission show that the sum of $528,000,000 would have to be used to replace wooden cars of all rail- roads in the nation with steel coaches. In another generation this. will probably be brought about. After reading the press reports of that meeting in Washington yesterday we are in doubt whether it was a ses- sion of the National Conservation Con- Conversation sress or the National Congress.

Water For Auto Fuel, (Waterbury Democrat.) Louis Enricht of Farmingdale, L. T runs an automobile on water. Or at least, he says he does. And several supposedly normal, hard-headed bus- iness men who have him give a demonstration are convinced that does what he claims. He simply draws five gallons of water out of any convenient water pipe, Arops into it four ounces of a mysterious green- ish fluid, pours the mixturs into his zasoline tank, and off zoes the ma- chine, with the motor never missing an explosion. He says the chemical he uses is so common and cheap that the new fuel only costs a cen: a gal- lon. 1If this is not hocus-pocus, En- richt has made a discovery that it is literally worth billions of .lollars, and destined to confer benefits on the human race. He has provided not merely a means of run- ning gas engines cheaply, at the same time when the high price of gasoiine has made it particularly welcome. He has provided not merely 2 means of running gas engines cheaply, at the same time when the high price of gas- oline has made it particularly welcome oline has made it particularly welcome. He has given the world a permanent source of power far cheaper and more accessible than any now existing. It is no exaggeration to say that such a discovery is greater than that of steam power, for the use of steam de- pends on coal. which is expensive and exhaustible. There is plenty of water. Unfortunately, this is prooably a hoax or a dream. The known laws of sclence are against it, Fuel experts scoff at it. Water, to be sure, is two- thirds hydrogen :and that hydrogen, when separated, is highly explosive. But chemists insist that it is bound to take, under ideal conditions. at least much expenditure of energy to separate the hydrogen from its com- hination with oxygen as cho hydrogen can give back afterward in burning or exploding. They insist that there is no substance in existence a little of which, poured into water, will cause this separation as Enricht says 1t does, breaking up the water and giving the pure hydrogen to explode in the gas chamber of the engine tike gasoline vapor And yet—science has Leen seen as wrong before. wster on the | o vincea that Ireland could not | ships incalculable | GOOD ARRAY OF NEW BOOKS NAMED IN INSTITUTE’S LIST THIS WEEK The Assault: after the Wile. “Mr. Wile correspondent Germany and England outbreak, hy F. . had been for years the in Berlin of the New York Times.

And not word of query or protest came from Washing- ton about this tragic outrage. This reign of terror was in Feb- ruar, 1913, Mr. Knox and the ad- ministration had plenty of time to rec- ognize Huerta, if they thought rec- ognition was such a fine thing as they now pretend to believe.

C., May 2—'"A sin- ister destiny seems to have selected Verdun as one of the rocks of history around which the storms of between France and Germany shall rage repeatediy,” says a bulletin is- sued today by the National Geogra- phic society, whose headquarters is in Washington. “It was in this city, for the posses- sion of which the greatest battle in the annals of civilized man has bee wagéd for weeks, that the treaty was signed which divided the empire of Charlemagne and established the nu- cleus of Germany as a nation separ- ate from France,” continues the bul- letin. “The Treaty of Verdun was executed in the ninth century by the three grandsons of the great emperor. But its provisions the Carolingian do- mains were partitioned, never again to be united under one ruler. That territory lying east of the Rhine and including Bavaria, Franconia, Thur- ginia, Saxony and the districts around Spires, Worms and Mainz fell to the lot of Louis, who very properly is known to history as Louis the Ger- man, for he may be considered the real founder of the German empire. Lothair, the eldest son of Louis the Bious, Charlemagne’s successor, as- sumed the title of emperor and se- cured the kingdom of Italy, together with Lorrain.e Provence and Lyon- naise. To Charles the Bald, half bro- ther of Louis and Lothair, were al- lotted Aquitania, Neustria and that part of Spain which had been wrested from the Moors. To Charles fell the distinction of founding the French dynasty. “But long before this treaty of 843, Verdun was assured a place on his- tory's page. The basin on the banks of the Meuse was known in the days of the Roman empire as the camp of Virodunum. It was destroyed in the barbarian invasions which occur- red during the decadence of the Caesars, and did not recover until the fifth century. In 502 it was seized by Clovis, who, actuated by religious zeal inculcated by his wife, the Bur- gundian Princess Clotilda, endeavor- ed to subjugate all the non-Christian Franklin princes. “In the eleventh century Verdun, having become a German city, was the scene of a bitter struggle between the burghers and the bishops of that see, the former finally winning im- portant concessions. After the city had risen to the dignity of a free im- battle | perial town, it was captured by the French, in 1552, and a hundred years later was formally given to France, in whose possession it has remained, with the exception of the two occa- slons when it was beseiged and con- { auered by the Teutons. “During the war of 1792 Verdun fell before the Germans after a battle lasting only a few hours. When the conquerors entered the town they were hospitably received, the city fathers having sent a group of beau- tiful young girls to greet the stran- gers and to offer them dragees, tha confection for which the place was and still is famous. The inhabitants paid dearly fo® this remarkable cor- dial reception of the enemies ot France, for when the revolutionists regained the city, after the battle of Valmy, history tells us, three of those voung girls were put to death on ths scaffold. “Far which different Verdun offered to sians in the war of 1870. For three weeks invader rained a hail of lead and iron upon the city nestling among the vine-clad hills, the high ground being utilized by the Germans a8, points of vantage from which to op- erate their artillery The beleaguered town finally surrendered, but France had learned a valuable lesson and almost immediately after peace wa3 declared the construction of fortifica- tions began, soon raising the city to a fortress of the first class, with a thirty mile ring of sixteen large forts and twenty smaller works. On the northern heights the intervals be- tween forts in some place are nog more than two hundred yards. ‘““When hostilities began in Augusi, 1914, Verdun was a town of about 20,000 inhabitants, more than a third of whom were soldiers “The city lies in the Meuse, 175 miles from Paris, by rail, and only 42 miles from the strongly fortified German city of Metz. Beforé the war the chief articles of manue facture were hardware, confections, leather goods and liqueurs. “Among Verdun's proudest posses- sions are four c¢annon occupyiny a place of honor in the gardens of the hotel de ville.
