It stopped when the traffic policeman siirnallcil, and speed ed up when his whistle told that the way was clear. Its horn warned jio ' destrians attain and ui;uin. Fifty feet hchiml, in another auto mobile, rode Capt. R. K. Vaughn, U. S. A., who manipulated the switches of the radio control. There could be no plainer case tit witchcraft. Some years ago, it will be remem ' bcred, Jhn Hays Hammond, Jr., a youiiK electrical eii;;ineer in Massa chusetts, devised a means of radio con trol for a small bout, and his invention 'was hailed as one sure to prove of ureat value ill a military sense. We ' heard little of, it during the war, but naval officers and electricians worked upon it all the while. This radio-con-, trolled automobile holds similar pos nihilities, and we may feel assured (hut efforts to perfect it will be un ceasing. We know, too, that wireless con trol of airplanes is not altogether a dream. We jruess that omc day they will soar pilotlcsn , above No Man's Land a"d dischaiRC their cargoes of high explosives and poisonous Rases when some bespectacled and rubber eloved scientist, far bahind the lines, throws a switch at the wireless tele phone's word. War has always been horrible, but v it is .easy to believe that when men fought body to body with sword and battlenxe under the whine of the cloth yard shaft, when cities were habitual ly given up to sack and none miRht hope for quarter, when a whole peo ple faced exlermiimlioit on the mere suspicion of poisunine; the wells, war was less horrible liy Tar than it will be a generation hence. In those days men haled witches t" ihe horse pond, and wi'.ards had short .shrift. Whal the deuce are we to do with them now?
