the latest telephonic Inventions the appearance In the field of fighting motors covered with a carapace of bullet proof steel Is a feature which promises to exercise the most immediate Influence on the conduct of future operations In war The war car is a totally different thing from the transport and supply car or private automobile These latter could only operate with safety well to the rear cf the advanced troops whereas the former is designed to push boldly to the front and take a definite offensive in the fighting line Not only Germany but France and Austria have already constructed some highly ingenious specimens of these battle motors These war cars are practically small mobile forts equipped with quick firing guns and having all their vital parts completely protected Their armor which in every case has been subjected to fire tests at clone range Is bullet proof and In the French and Austrian patterns which I have seen completely covers the Interior of the car something like tlfe rounded gun turrt of a battle ship Wheels and engines are of course amply protected and the Austrian pattern lias the additional advantage that its driving power Is applied to both sets of wheels by means of an Ingenious device which is a strictly guarded secret The latest Prrnch pattern has a revolving turret armed with a Hutchkiss quirk firer and iKitb 1m lYenoli and Austrian as well as the German war cars are able to cross ountry if necessary and to negotiate ditched and obstacles of the ordinary character The picture of a motor battle in which these monsters will operate Is a highly Interesting one to consider The German Idea Is thai these war cars will In a great measure form the pivots upon which the mobile elements of an army In the field will work and this In accordance with

made up by these soldiers that it got the classification of being a to save And his soul goes rolling on Glory Hallelujah In another letter Mr Jerome claims that a Frenchman whef was the leader of a glee club In Leavenworth In the early days heard the song and later went to Massachusetts and In that way he thinks it reached the Eastern states He also thinks that the Seventh Kansas and Fifteenth Illinois Regiments carried the sons south These two stories have received the most popular belief It Is fair to all concerned to declare that the song was a composite affair that many took part In the origin composition and authorship was a product of the time the splrit the occasion The temperament of the hour demanded a popular song a song that would express the martial feeling of the day that would furnish an outlet folk song In a sense that caption is for the pent up excitement which pre Well out among the advanced and covering troops of aii army on every road leading to the front there will be armored high speed war cars arroel with revolving machine guns They will co operate with fitting It was also known as a glee Apropos of that It is related that Brown and Purlngton two members of the militia company formed a quartet with a couple of men named Greenleaf and Ed gerly and that they sang John Brown this and John Brown that until the song was got up unconsciously by them and that whenever the quartet was In Boston It was always called upon to sing the composition Another story ls that ceded the gigantic war The anthem was born out of that fever It was a necessity and many
