A com mittee of scientists, appointed by congressional resolution, has pro aoanced a failure the mysterious Machine invented by an Armenian resident of Boston, and much ad Tertlaed as a producer of "free ener gy." They were convinced that It was oaly one more specimen added to tie long list of "perpetual motion Machines." with which Inventive "tranka" have , occupied themselves tram time Immemorial, and wnlch radical science pronounces an lm feasibility. It Is an axiom of science that yon eannot set something for nothing In the realm of energy, any more than lm the realm of finance. All the Machinery evolved by civilised man has never really "produced" any energy; It has merely transformed e rials hinds of energy Into other kind, which happened to he more mseful fo onr purposes.

We know that the world Is In stinct with energy, that the whole anlrerse Is energy. Big scientists agree that the "ether," which fills and permeates all space from here to and beyond the outermost star, is vibrant with energy Intense and con centrated beyond anything we can 'maglne. , ' Sir Oliver Lodge has worked out trlan army, as set forth by official chemists employed by the Italian government: "Thirty-two per cent oat flour, the remainder consisting ot ground wood fiber, straw, hay and other un identified ingredients."

The last week baa been the ame old grind of hard work behind the lines, preparing for an emergency, and repairing what the Hun has man aged to tear down. Sunday, after onr usual Inspection, we went on a little excursion on narrow gauge railway turned over to the Ameri cans by the French. The American engineers ran the little train at the terrific speed of II km. fcsr hour, gnd only got. t off the track once. There Vera about twice as many cars as the French would have undertak en to manage. We went to a small town 20 miles or so away where they had a band concert and baseball game. Most of ui, however, wan' dered off up the canal, going from village to village, until time to go home.

I would sooner be a private In the marine corps than a captain In the army. Friday night a whole bunch of marines came In from the front to the hospitals. We paid the boys a visit and found that the hoapltal was short of help. About 20 of us vol unteered to help out on Saturday. We got all the tobacco, cigarettes and candy we could buy and played the role of "Lady Bountiful" by dis tributing It among the boys. We took off our hats and coats and soon beeamje stretcheij bearers, nurses, orderlies snd even surgeon's assist ants. We worked at this until 6:30 Sunday morning then we came back to the hotel and had an hour's sleep. Then we had breakfast, and at 10 o'clock we began work according to the regular Sunday morning sched ule. That's what we call Semper Ftdells. I hare teed some awful sights, but none ever has nor ever will com pare with what I saw Qd Saturday night. All tho worst e&ses were sent to this hospltaU Men. with arms and legs cut off, wt'ra laughing and Jok ln. Everyone was anxious to tell his little story of how be stopped the boche ammunition. Being In from thl front I was In such a position to near stories that will never be pub lished In newspapers.

On lnvestivauon the delay proved' to be caused by an obstinate armv mule which a Sammy was vainly trying to Induce to lead. Well, we got home alright and had supper, the cooks having prepared a rare treat for us in the form of a raisin pie. As this was the first pie I had tasted since leaving the states you may imagine how much it was ap preciated. We turned In for a good sleeo before a hard day's work, but early in the morning our sleep was interrupted by Uncle Sammy send ing over a few "peace proposals" to Kaiser Bill.

' After working all night with onr wounded brother marines, we swore that we should have revenge. We told our captain that we wanted to give up the battle of Paris and go to the front.
