AMERICAN INVENTION UPSETS
THEORY ARTILLERY BATTLES
Sf
WASHINGTON', D. C., Aug. 13.—
An ingenious American must again
be given credit tor another revolu
tionary invention, this time one
■which is calculated to upset the
whole theory of artillery battles.
The new invention, the name of
which must be kept secret for mili
tary reasons, is based upon an in
vention perfected by ttie I'nited
States Bureau of Standards, the de
cremter, an instrument which is
used to tell the location of any noise
producing body by a decrement of
the air waves produced.
By means of the new invention,
which is now in actual use on the
French front, it is possible to tell
the exact location of a German can
non, even when it canot be seen or
heard. It is possible to judge, even
at a distance of eight miles, so ac
curately the position of an enemy
gun that a shell can be placed with
in fifty feet of the cannon aimed at.
The instrument now in use is set
up at a certain point on the French
iine, and the actual distance to the
enemy cannon is judge d by the de
creasing air waves. Front another
a
i
instrument at another point in the' *
French line a similar reading is Sj
given so that with the two instru- ;
mcnts and the German cannon a £
triangle is formed. By determining U
the exact distant front the two in- u
Struments to tit• German cannon, c
its position can be found.

raids which did not seriously
amount to anything. Thereafter the
Germans began a ferocious bomb
ardment of the French positoins on
both banks of the Meuse, as heavy
as ttiat which prevailed in the fight
ing on this sector last year and
using an endless variety of caliber.
Later this somewhat subsided to
be taken by a perfect rain of shrap

the French positions.
The attacks so far have been re
pulsed but the Germans are repeat

It is now believed that this will

To The Trade
AS CUSTOMARY AT THIS TIME OK THE YEAR TO OFFER TO
CONTRACT GOODS FOR WINTER OUTFITS.
After careful investigation we find that it is impossible to
get a guaranteed price on any commodity carried by us, and we
cannot in justice to our trade and ourselves attempt to offer a
price, therefore, we have concluded to accept all orders for
winter outfits upon the following conditions: —
1st. All orders to be invoiced upon arrival of goods at
Nome at warehouse cost prices plus a small percentage for buying
and handling.
2nd. A reasonable cash deposit to be made with each order. Bal
ance to be paid before the last boat leaves for the outside.
3rd. Deliveries to be made as soon as practical; but if winter
storage is reguired, a small monthly rental will be charged.
4th. Should you wish to wait until our winter stock arrives,
we will be in the best of positions to make you a correspondingly
low price which will include all charges upon the same conditions
as in the past.
Buying goods at the above terms will insure you the
LOWEST POSSIBLE COST for your winters outfit. Our experience
and knowledgo of the business and purchasing power will more
than equal our little charge for handling your goods. You have
NO TROUBLE, NO RISK, NO NEW EXPERIMENT! !
OUR REPUTATION FOR FAIR DEALING LIVED UP TO IN

SHOULD BE A SAFE GUIDE TO YOU OF WHERE TO PLACE
