INVENTIVE MAIN OF IANIELS
BAS MOD SUPPORT
MANY EXPERTS SUGESTED
Mach Intarmt ArooMd by Plan to
BaUbllsh an Advisory Board ot
the Leading Scientists and Inven
tors, Who Will Devise Requisites
for Adequate Defenses.
Gossip continues in Weshington,
says a dispatch Wednesday, as to the
make-up of the proposed civilian ad
visory board of Inventors and tech
nical experts as proposed by Secre
tary Daniels, to assist in workout out
naval problems. The only selection
thus far announced is Thos. A. Edl-
son, who will head the board.
The names of a score, or more of
possible nejv members of the advisory
council, many of them recognized ex
perts in special lines of inventive and
rauMkh work, are under considera-
tfomtiut Secretary Daniels said he
would not announce the selections
until after they had accepted.
The secretary said he was certain
that when the board had been Anally
selected,,it would b. "composed of
ten men of such prominence as to
make the country feel that what it is
possible for the human mind to de
vise will be devised for our navy.”
Orville Wright, who is among
those suggested to Secretary Daniels
for membership is the proppsed clv-
tlan advisory board of inventors and
technical experts, was quoted in New
York Wednesday as saying he would
accept membership in the proposed
civilian advisory board of Inventors
and technical experts, if invited.
•T have talked with Thomas A.
Edison and with army and navy offi
cers who realize the necessity ofTJre-
paring an adequate air as well as sea
fleet," said Mr. Wright. "Army and
navy officers agree that we should
have from a thousand to thirteen
hundred aeroplanes for Immediate
duty.
"The board undoubtedly will be a
good thing if the members will stick
to its advtstry function and not try
to overstep it. The officers of the
army and navy are very efficient and
some of them wonderful engineers.
The work of the proposed board
should be conAned to suggestions."
Hudson Maxim, whose name also
wm suggested to Mr. Daniels, said he
would be glad to serve on the new
board.
Mobilisation of the country's in
ventive genius to aid in working out
naval problems as proposed by Sec
retary Denials Is being dl'.russed by
officials of both tho amy at! navy,
and tho selection of Th-mas A. Edi
son as head of the clvlllrr advisory
board met with unanimous approval.
Secretary Daniels now Is preparing
to Invite other noted Inventors and
technical exports to Join In the work.
He would not say yes or no to a
dozen names suggested to him, de
claring he would make Unown tho
other members of the aovlsory board
only after tholr acceptances had boon
received.
"As 1 stated in my letter to Mr.
Edison," said the socreUry, “I am
not prepared te announce the full de-
talla of the pi. n. An Informal con
ference was held with tho chiefs of
the bureau* of crdnauce, a‘ean engi
neering and construction .and repair
and I expect to announce tho organ
isation In a more deAalto way in a
abort tlmo.
"The country does not yet know
the far reaching and Impar'ant ex
perimental work done by Admirals
-Griffin, Strr.uaa and Taylcr. They
and tholr assistants for mentha have
been studying every aow develop
ment brought out by ths war In Eu
rope and already havo contrlt uted to
increased naval efflcl-ncy. They will
be given additional experts to carry
on this development *v rk they have
been doing with ability and success.
"Tho colectlcn of tho members of
the advioory committee requires
carefdl thnueht, but I hope to an
nounce thorn shortly. With Mr. Edi
son so willingly and che'.fully re
sponding, I feel sure that tho advis
ory council, wl on tho names all are
selected, will bo comr.OFcd of men of
suc|i prominence ar- to make the
that wi.i
for the human poind to devise will be
devised for cur navy.", ,
Among the names suggested to
Mr. Daniels as pccsiblo members of
the new boaru were these of Charles
P. Steipmetz, one of the world's
authorities on electrical e gineerihg;
Hudson Maxim, inventor and maker
of guns and explosive; Orville
Wright, one of the two brothers who
led the world in aeroplane flight;
Simon Lake, submarine inventor;
Lewis Nixon ship builder and former
naval officer; Alexander Graham Hell,
Inventor of the telephone; John Hays
nHammond, Jr., and R. A Fessenden,
raejio communication experts; J. B.
-Walker, editor of scientific magazines
and an invento- of note, and a score
of others.
Attention was called to an act of
congress prohibiting the acceptance
by the government of voluntary ser
vice. As there is no provision for
remuneration for tho proposed board
It was suggested that the law might
ftrove an dbstaclo without specific
authorization by congress. Mr. Dan-
tala said he had not examined the
law but he thought it would be pos
sible to avoid confllc'; with It.
The bulk of the work In testing
lew devices and reviewing sugges
tions will fall on the department it-
self, the secretary explained, and for
that reason he contemplates creating
a bureau of invention and develop
ment to which the civilian experts
will be an advisory board. -
Mr. Daniels indicate that he had
developed anything like a

EXPRESSES ITS IEIRET FOR
THE NEBRASKAN ATTACK
Government Admits liabili
ty, Apologises and Offers Repara
tion for Submarine’s Mistake.
Germany's admission of liability
and expression of regret Thursday
for the Gorman submarine attack on
the American steamer Nebraskan
pleased officials at Washington, but
it was the general opinion that legal
points raised wonld require the dis
patch of a note further to conserve
American righto in the war zone. A
memorandum stating Germany's po
sition reached the state department
through Ambassador Gerard at Ber
lin.
Legal officers of tho American gov
ernment who-examined the German
memorandum pointed out that in
many respects the case resembled
that of the William P. Frye, the
American ship sunk by the Prinz
Eltel Friedrich. In both cases Ger
many has expressed regret and has
offered to compensate American citi
zens, but the action of tho German
commanders has been declared Jus
tified. To admit this, officials at
Washington say, would establish a
dangerous precedent.
In the Frye case Germany con
tended that it was a fair inference
from the language of the Prusslan-
American treaty of 1826 that an
American ship carrying contraband
could be destroyed if there were no
other way to stop transportation of
contraband. The United States ob
jects to this construction of the
treaty and in the case of the Nebras
kan probably will place on record its
view that the attacb, even though
payment is assured and regretg ex
pressed, was an illegal act.
Officials take the view that the
Nebraskan case proves conclusively
that a merchantman must be visited
before attack to determine its na
tionality and the character of its car
go. Some high officials do not be
lieve the United States would insist
that in exercising the right of visit
the submarine commander actually
be required to board a merchantman
but would hold that a ship could be
“visited” by signaling a warning to
stop and asking for the submission
of papers.
The German memorandum was the
subject of. much comment in official
quarters because it bearc out con
elusions reached by Lieut. John H
Tower*, American naval attache in
London, who forwarded fragments of
metal found in the Nebraskan with
his expression of opinion that the
veaael was torpedoed. In the case of
the Gulfllght too, American naval
conatructora in London established
that the vessel was torpedoed.
The navy department's report on
the Nebraskan never has been made
public, but Id view of the admission
by Germany, official* said that the
findings of navy officers were con
firmed by the German foreign office
memorandum.

HIGH PRAISE AWARDED RE-.
r TIEA^OF RUSSIANS
GERMANS SHIFT ATTACK
Retreat of Russian Army and Its Con
sequent Strong Stand Produces
. Favorable Comment From Military
Source*—Little Fighting Else
where.
“A Military Expert" reviews the
war last week as follows:
When the history of the war Is
written, it is certain that the retreat
of the army of Grand Duke Sicholas
from the line along the Dunajec to
its present position along the Zlota
Lipa, the Dniester ,and‘ across the
northern boundary of Galicia, will be
ranked as one of the world’s greatest
masterpieces of military manoelvres.
Taken in flank and rear, its supplf
lines not only threatened, but being
actually cut one after the other, the
Russian army was forced to relax its
grip on the Carpathian passes and be
gin a retreat eastward toward the
San.
Out numbered by the combined
armies of Germany and Austria, hope
lessly outclassed in artillery, in num
ber and in calibre of guns, facing
with a limited accumulation of am
munition an apparently inexhaustible
reserve, the retreat was at first rapid,
and it was during th}s prst period of
retreat that most of the losses in
men and guns occurred.
In the first lull in the atack, oc
casioned by the necessity of the Teu
ton alles to bring up ammunition to
the front, the leaders of the Russian
army got it well in hand, all sem
blance of a rout ceased, and the re
treat became much s'ower, thorough
ly well ordered and efficiently pro
tected by exceient rearguard fight
ing.
That the retirement after the first
stage was deliberate and without
panic Is evidenced by the fact that
each defensive line was taken under
sound discretion and was not forced
as a result of an action.
The further eastward the Russians
retired the more stubborn their re
sistance became. Along tho San line
and at Przemysl the Teuton advance
was held up, in spite of most desper
ate attacks, for two weeks, and dur
ing that time the Russians removed
from Przemysl all .ammunition and
supplies, sending them back to Lem
berg, so that when the town was
evacuated the Teutons captured noth
ing of value.
Clinging desperately to the line of
the Dnleeter, the retreat continued,
the Russians everywhere on their
front keeping in close contact with
their opponents and never losing an
opportunity to strike back with an ef
fectiveness which proved how thor
oughly in hand they were, and which
inflicted on their enemies losses as
great as their own.
The definite check placed upon the
advance against Warsaw from South
ern Poland has caused the Germans
to redouble their offensive efforts in
the north, and from the Nlemen to
the Rawka there has been, during the
period of inactivity in the south,
fighting of great violence.
It is entirely possible that Ger
many will abandon her offensive In
the souttw and after establishing a
defensive line along her present posi
tion withdraw many of her troops
and send them to reinforce the line
In front of and to the north of War
saw.
This, indeed, may already have
been done and may account for the
increased volume of fighting in the
north. This fighting, however, while
severe, has not yet produced any re
sults of particular value.
On the whole the net results of the
wreck's operations must be regarded
as favorable to Russia. At the very
least calculation, she has gained a
much-needed rest, and every day of
comparative inacity is a gain to Rus
sia in ammunition, which she so sad
ly needs, and is an opportunity to ef
fect such reorganization as her fight
ing since last February has made nec
essary.
The Western Front.
On the western front tho week has
brought practically no new develop
ments. There have been bursts of
activity from Nieuport to Switzer
land, with no important result any
where. Around the cemetery at Sou-
chef the lines have swayed back and
forth without advantage, but with
great loaf of life.
The most noteworthy Incident has
been the success of the army of the
Crown Prince on the eastern slopes
of the Argonne. Tho German offense
in this, section has assumed large pro
portions, and It Is evident that a de
termined effort is under way, the ob
ject of which is the isolation of Ver
dun. The first step to bring this
about will qqturally be to cut the
Chalops-Verdun railroad, the princi
pal road supplying the Vtrdun fort
resses, and it is toward this road that
the German drive has been made;
In a measure the Germans have sp
far met with success and have pene
trated the French lines to a depth of
about a quarter of a mile. French
counter-attacks have recovered part
of this; so the net gain is small. In
tense fighting is still in progress,
however, 'not only at this point but
throughout the entire Verdun sector,
and it is not Improbable that the ne?t
few weeks will bring somt interesting
developments.
Hie Italian line.
On the Italian front it is a rafter
remarkable fact thatd uirng the last
two weeks the official reports ema
nating from the Italian headquarters
have not exceeded twenty lines in
length. There has been absolutely
nothing official that gives the slight
est clue as to what is really happen-

Community is Quiet—Victim, Seems
to Have Killed Clifford Critten
den Without Provocation.
Borne details of a lynching which
occurred Monday afternoon in the
McCalla woods; six miles east of
Lowndesville, Abbeville county, have
just come to light..
Sunday afternoon Lucius Critten
den and Clifford Crittenden, sons of
Robert Crittenden, a well known
farmer of that section, were walking
down the road four miles from
Lowndesville in company with Sam
Pilgrim, a friend. They met Will
Lozier, a negro, and Clifford Crit
tenden asked Lozier to return his
knife, which the negro had borrowed
a day or so ago.
The negro returned the knife, but
a few minutes later he jerked it away
from Clifford, cutting the latter’s
hand. Lucius Crittenden, about nine
teen yeats of age, remonstrated with
the negro and told him he would see
him later about cutting his brother;,
that the negro had a gun in his
pocket, and that he would not fight
him as long as the gun was there.
It is said that Lozier replied that
he would "have to see me right
now," and that he drew his gun and
fired on Lucius Crittenden, the bullet
striking the young man on the hip.
Lozier then fired on Sam Pilgrim, but
the shot went wild.
When Lozier saw Lucius Critten
den fall to the ground he escaped
into the bushes and made his way
to the swamps. Crittenden was given
Immediate medical attention, but
died from the gunshot wound early
Monday morning.
During the forenoon on Monday a
large body of men searched the
woods for Lozier and locate^ him
about one o’clock In the afternoon.
Persons some distance away declare
they heard eighty shots.
A man from that community Wed
nesday said that the negro was hang
ed with a rope and that his body was
literally shot to pieces, and that the
body was then cut down and thrown
Into the river.
AUSTRUN NOTE DISCUSSES
SHIPMENT OF MUNITION^
It Is Reganled Probable That Tar,
key Will Join in Protent
of Dual Empire.
The United States probably ^wfif
send within another fortnight a re-
| ply to the Austro-Hungarian note
' contending that extensive shipments
of war supplies from thla country to
the allies are "not la consonance
with the definition of neutrality."
Unofficially word came to Wash
ington Thursday that Turkey would
follow Germany and Austria In mak
ing representations and should a note
from Turkey arrive officials would
delay sending their answer so as to
Inform the Germanic allies simul
taneously of the unalterable view of
the United States on arms shipments.
Germany repeatedly has laid em
phasis on the trade In arms between
the United States and the allies. In
a note replying to representations
from the American government on
the newly proclaimed war zone the
legal right of the citizens of the
United States to trade in arms was
conceded, but it was argued that it
was equally right ot neutrals to
"stop trade in contraband, especially
the trade in'arms with Germany’s
enemies," because ot violations of
other neutral rights by Great Britain.
The Austrian note, extracts of
which have appeared in dispatches
from Amsterdam, points out that the
American government would be "en
titled to prohibit the export of war
material" if the trade in contraband
"takes the form of dimensions wherp-
by the neutrality of the country will
be endangered.” Details of the
American answer have not been di
vulged, but it is underrtood tho Unit
ed States will not only cite its rights
under international law, but will re
call precedents in previous wars in
which Germany and Austria have
been interested where importations
of arms were carried on in extensive
proportions.

Statistics show that at least forty
per cent, of humanity have Ecsema
in some form or other. Though non-
contagious, it spreads rapidly, and is
a very dtstresslng. affliction—There
are several kinds of Eczema, as wet
and dry, acute and chronic, tetter,
acne, pimples, salt rheum, itch, ring
worm, bdrnlng, hives, etc.
The success of/Zemerine in com
bating Eczema in all of its forms has
been absolute sinces its first intro
duction to the public. It is used and
recommended by physicians of un-
questlonable re*nown as a specific
against the tortures of this distress
ing disease.
Eczema may occur as a single tiny
spot, or a number of scattered spots,
or may even cover the body from
head to foot. But, whatever its form,
the most distressing symptom is itch
ing. This.itching is often so severe
that the sufferer has to scratch until
the blood comes, even though he
knows scatching increases the in
flammation. It Is usually worse at
night, sleep Is frequently impossible,
and the nerves and general healtn
may be seriously affected. ./
Zemerine Is not a "cure all," but
we postively know from experience
that, if used according to directions,
it will cure any case of eczema,
whether of short or of long standing.
Zemerine stops itching and acts
quickly. Give Zemerine a fair trial
and we feel confident that you will

Zemerine.
Zemerine Is sold by druggists
