THOMAS A. EDISON WANTS TO
ABANDON OLD CUSTOM
Does Not Favor Accumulation of
Vast Quantity of Ammunition
Thomas A. Edison, while on his
way east the other day from his
visit to the San Francisco Fair, gave
his idea of what should constitute
“preparedness” for the United
States. In outlining his plans, he
said in part: I
“Instead of fighting with blood—
with men, I mean—we should fight
with machines capable of destroying
twenty times as many enemy,” said
Edison. "America is the greatest
country in the world. By utilizing
our ideas in the manufacture of
fighting machines we may save our
men and increase our strenght
twenty-fold.
“We do not need an enormous
standing army, but we need a host
of trained officers, who in turn,
can train volunteers in the use of
war machines. The American is the
, quickest minded human being in
the world in things mechanical, and
in our next war we will need not
soldiers but machinists.”
Edison is opposed to string great
quantities of ammunition in prepar
ation for war. i
“Let us instead erect factories
and accumulate steel and copper bil
lets whereby such ammunition can
be turned out,” he said. “We know
now how much podwer Europe is
using in its war. Let us erect
plants which can turn out twice
that amount.And let us construct
machines that can turn out twice
as many shells daily as Europe is
using.
"But do not let us manufacture
this powder or these shells. That
would be an economic waste. Just
keep the machinery greased up, so
that it can be started any day.
Then, if it is necessary to start it,
the United States will be in a posi
• tion to turn out daily twice as much
war munitions as Europe is using.”

ATTHEGRANDTONIGHT
The Mystery of Wickham Hall, a
three reel production featuring the
clever emotional star, we have be
come accustomed to seeing at the
Grand once a week for some time.
In this character we see the expres
sions of Rose, then Judith, then we
connect her with the Trey ’O Hearts.
In this picture she carries the two
parts, first she is the mother then
the daughter. The story begins
with her a babe in her unhappy
mother’s arms, then the terrible
tragedy which furnishes the title
for the story. After many years
have passed this babe has grown
to a beautful girl, who like her
mother is being forced into an un
happy marriage. On the stroke of
twelve the ghost appears to the
daughter of the house on her wed
ding eve, and the mystery of Wick
ham Hall is revealed.
The Gambler, is a single reel
drama, and tells an exceptionally
good story.
Grand-Daddy’s Grand-Daughter, a
comedy drama, closes the show. Ad.

Long Report Given Out by
An Eye Witness
LONDON, Oct. 30—A correspon
dent with the Dardanelles fleet has
sent in a long report of Armenian
atrocies as given to him by an eye
witness. The report is from an of
ficial source, inasmuch as it was
given by an Armenian officer serv
ing in the Turkish army, and made
prisoner by the British.
The atrocities began early last
March and covers the travels about
various parts of Armenia, and gives
details of how the bishop of Sivas
was shod with shoes of red hot iron
by a village blacksmith; and on the
order of the Turks, how men of
Tokat were tied together in groups
of four and taken out 100 at a
time to the marshy districts for
massacre.
The account describes how women
were tied to the tails of oxcarts and
exposed to hunger and rough weath
er until they accepted conversion to
■■he Moslem faith or death. How
nothers were bayoneted before the
eyes of their children. How girls
were distributed as chattels among
civil and military officials.
The prisoner says that as a sol
dier he himself was compelled to as
sist in many masacres, being on
one occasion a member of a party
of 40 soldiers which superintended
the death of 800 Armenians. His
account closes as follows:
“There is reason to believe that
German advisers of the Turks have
urged upon them undesirability of
allowing a large alien and presum
able unfriendly population to habit
ports which lie open to Russian at
tacks.”
