HAS INVENTION TO
BLOW UP DIVERS
PITTSBURG, April 1.—Theodore
Eichoiz, a young engineer and archi
tect of this city, has invented a wire
less device that may be used to destroy
■submarines by causing an explosion of
gases that are always present in sub
marines. For several years the in

ventor was connected with the United
States corps of engineers.
1 Mr. Eichoiz states that a few days
ago a small experimental apparatus
at his home on Neville island sunk a
small “dummy” submarine in the Ohio
river five miles away. The destroyed
model was built of steel, and had been
j submerged to a depth of ten feet.
All submarines while under water
1 are propelled by electric storage bat
; teries which throw off a gas that per
; vades the hull. This gas, Eichoiz
! says, he detonates by wireless current
| and destruction follows.
The apparatus will be submitted to
the government.
Sandwiches, coffee and pastry lunch
es served at the North Pole Bakery.

(Juneau Empire)
Quickly acting on the suggestion of
President Wilson, that red cross soci
eties be immediately organized
throughout the United States and all
territories in order that funds may
be raised and supplies furnished for
the boys of the army and navy, the
organization committee of the Juneau
Red Cross Chapter of the American
National Red Cross met yesterday
afteemoon at the home of Mrs. P. J.
Mahone and the following officers
were elected: Chairman, Mrs. P. J.
Mahone; vice chairman, Mrs. W. S.
Tullon, of Thane; treasurer, Mrs. R.
W. Jennings, and secretary, Miss
Marguerite Green.
Hut the start has only been made
and the officers are powerless to
rentier the aid desired unless there
is an immediate and large membership
to the local chapter. The charter has
been sent for and this is expected to
be sent to Juneau within two weeks,
but the officers do not want to lose
one day in organization and in com
pletting the plans that are required to
meet the demands necessary.
Men and women can join the Red
Cross cchapter for the sole purpose of
the chapter is to raise funds, make
bandages and other numerous supplies
needed for soldiers in action. Mem
bership in the Red Cross society
means work, but not on the battle
field or even with enlisted soldiers in
their mobilization camps. The mem
bers of the chapters are required
solely to produce those things injured
and wounded men need.
Already a box of samples has been
received by the local chapter and last
night the city council authorized that
suitable quarters be provided for the
chapter in the city hall for its work.
Chairman Mahone announced to
day that members are now wanted,
the city library, Miss Green being first
officer in charge, and at Thane the
Red Cross recruiting flag will float
from the residence of Mrs. W. S. Pul
len and she will be ready at any time
to “enlist” women or men from that
section in the good and most worthy
cause.
“Enlist” in the sense of the local
chapter, designates the services of the
signers as the “home guard” for relief
to those at the front. “Recruits” can
enlist right now—and a couple of
hundred are wanted. It is up to the
ladies of the Capital City and the min
ing interests of Thane to rally, rally
at once, so that their deeds, their en
thusiasm will be the indicated action
1 of spontaneity in the present crisis.
MINISTRY CALLS
