Promptly at noon this message from Mr. Moore, conveying the information that ceremonies in the grandstand had concluded was dispatched: "The Presi dent, Washington. D. C: I have the honor to announce that the exposition Is now officially opened. God bless the people of the United States." A few seconds after the message was flashed to President Wilson the return flash was noted. It had been sent by President Wilson from the National Capitol. As the tick was received th doors of the Palaces of Machinery and Transportation flew open. The waters at the Fountain of Energy burst forth in colors of the rainbow.

New Republic. There is an illusion, held with un common tenacity by the general publid, that the range and effectiveness of modern arms tends to keep armies far apart. On the contrary, there Is more hand-to-hand fighting today than at any time since gunpowder was invent ed. Many weapons long since thought obsolete have come into use again. First among these are grenades, of which there are all kinds, from manu factured bombs with fuses to soda water bottles or tin cans filled with old iron a variety which is practically as effective. Some of them are car ried in the hand, some on long poles. There are also the canister, which Is nothing but a shell filled with very small shot, and the trench-mortar, meant to throw a shell ft short distance straight up into the air and down into the enemy's trench. For the last pur nose I have seen wooden guns used, but I was never able to find out whether they worked on the principle of a sling, of the opinion that an improved type of trench-mortar would twrn the scale a spring or an alrgun. I am personally in the attackers' favor. t Uli CULLS CITY FOLK CHICAGO FAMILIES TO HAVE OP rOKTUA'ITY IJT TEXAS. Government, Says Settlement Agent, Will Advance Money to Buy Implements, if Necessary.
