A little group of congressmen, mostly in the senate, are ItTeffect barring defiance into the faces of 5 per cent of the people of this na tion aad giving expression, both in debate and by their votes upon vital measures, to their own sweet wills rather than showing a respect to publie opinion. It is time that members of con gress should cease their bickering and petty squabbling and put through the administration's war program speedily. There are evi dences that the German government wants peace before the, organized effectiveness of the United States can be brought into the balance. Then the sooner that help arrives, the sooner will the war end. The ac tual money cost of two weeks of the great war across the water would build a paved highway from Maine t i to , Oregon.

GEO. W. LEWIS, Sheriff. London, Aug. 25. By mall) Carborundum "bombs" are the lat est development of German plotters' ingenuity for crippling the war effort of America. They were discovered la a recent German bomb haul In Christiana, Norway. Carborundum is a manufactured composition resembling a sharpening stone but is harder than almost any steel made today. - American army was the German plan to have these carborundum "bombs," disguised In chewing tobacco and cigars, slipped Into the axle cups of troop and sup ply trains and into oil cups and other vital parts ot trans-Atlantic steam ship engines. Half an hour of this composition grinding against car and engine bearings sad in stesm would cripple railway With the French Armies, Aug. tu. (By mail) The French artillery barrage fire has now been perfected to such a degree ot density and In tensity, that the Germeni. In order to keep In communication with their lines back of the barrage have been forced to adopt the expedient of en closing their messages In a grenade or a shell and firing it through the barrage. In the early part of the war, the Germane used the system of running J back field telephones from ; the ad vancing troops. When these lines were constantly cut by shell fire, ef forts were msde to run the lines underground. But here again the French high explosive shells were developed to a degree where the lines could not be conveniently buried at a depth beyond , their reach. Wireless telegraphy has since :been tried by the Germsns together with low flying airplanes while the nse of Individual soldiers who en deavored to run back through a bar rage with messages came likewise to prove both too costly from the point of view of human life and of uncertainty is to the eventual ar rival of the message. Germany's new system of endeav oring to shoot hack her communica tions with trench mortars and trench ' cannon has only recently been hit upon. ' 1 The grenades or shells In which the messages are enclosed are re-! ferred to In the German orders as "Nachrkhtongesrhoese" or "pro jectiles for messages.'; I The ; 'Welde-Wurfgransten" or' "message carrying bombs" are fired I from the 1 Big model of mechanical' officers believe ujtrc throw.

If the plea for haste on the part of congress came only from the army and navy authorities, it might be re garded with some suspicion, but the home government of every allied na tion Is pleading with the I'nlted 8tates, "For Ood'a sake, hurry up."
