The War Office in an offictal state- ment to-day admitted that the Czar's troops have been compelled to give ground slightly before these fresh as- saults, It was also admitted that the Russians are falling back in the re- gion of Pinak, but elsewhere the en- emy has been defeated on every sec- tor, the Slavs taking more than 1,100 prisoners in Wednesday's engage- ments.

Electric storage batteries are unnecessary. “And, best of all, these submarines can be built at such a slight cont that all the incentive for greedy armament makers will be taken away from them. They will cost only a fraction of what the present submarines cost and only a fraction of 1 per cent of the $15,000,- 000 drendnoughts which they will be able to blow to pieces. “It the public 1s interested enough, we may arrange to give it a demonstration of this new machine some time in the near future. I believe that education will be the greatest factor in bringing about universal peace, but this new sub- marine is likely, by the very terror it inspires, to hasten world peace,” plate PUT BURDEN OF PROOF ON THE U.
