That is the prediction of a sol- dierleas, bloodless, heroless war made by B. B Blanchard, associate editor of the Popular Hiectricity Magazine, But it will be mighty tough on property! Then, a naval battle will be nothing more nor lese than a test of brains, steel and powder, Giant dreadnaughts will batter each other into junk piles, and clutter up the bottom of the ocean, but not a single drop of human blood will be shed. 7 “Tt jen't a fairy dream,” says Blanchard, “for wireless invention is but an tnfant now, Genius will develop the use of it until such a thing as sending a whole fleet of battleships out unmanned to en- gage in battle with another fleet, also crewless, will be a matter-of fact happening during war, the same as sending a fleet manned by human beings ts today. “Christopher Wirth, a German wireless inventor, has already demonstrated in a test on a lake near Berlin, the fact that a ves sel may be managed and its guns discharged by wireless from the shore. The German. navy depart- ment has taken up the {dea and is trying to develop it “In the event of a wireless nay al engagement, the directing offi- cer will have to. be within seeing distance of the twe fleets, That does pot meanythat he must see all tho vessels With His own ayes.

The receiving key is above a magnetized wheel, which turning beneath the wireless sparks, forms circuits at certain point of contact. These various connections steer the vessel and fire the guna. One great difficulty would be in alming the guns. Blanchard thinks that an electro-magnetized Mechanism on the gun wiil indi- cate the exact position of the near est vessel facing it and will aim the gun automatically. like ALTHFUL TOWN, Pat.—“If this town Is Fdlg ss: ful as you it is, why happen rats of so many doctors’ signs in evidence?” Mike—“They are nearly all the signs of eye doctors.
