WASHINGTON, Sept* 5.—Upon his return recently from the battle front in France Maj. Gen. J. Franklin Bell in supplying information to the senate military committee reports as one of the greatest scientiflfc achievements of the war the telephone arrangement whereby the position enemy guns Is i determined. A portion o£ General Uells statement was this month reprinted in the Electrical Experimenter ae follows: .•All armies now employ scientific methods of locating guns which have never tfeen employed in warfare before. One is known as the soundrantring method.

Briefly, they have observers scattered along a curved line, which has been accurately measured, and all of these observers, of whom there are usually six, utilize electric sound-rang-ing apparatus by which they report inntantaneouslv the moment they hear the sound of a gun explosion.

At a central point another electric apparatus records these sounds from the six different stations, and by a scientific method they comDine the knowledge gained from these six points and succeed in locating with a remarkable degree of accuracy the position of the gun that made the explosion when it was fired.

Each lias a type of telephone which is a-ble to hear distinctly over very ronsidernhle distances conversations not intended for the listener, and for a longtime the allies employed this system of goining information without the knowledge of the enemy but the Germans captured one of these instruments and discovered that their conversation in the trenches had been listened to for-quite a while and that the allies had thus gained some informauon it. a way which had long puxzled the Germans.

MEN FEEL TIRED, TOO. "While much is said about tired women it must be remembered that men also pay the penalty of overwork. When the kidneys are weak, inactive or sluggish, when one feels tired out and miserable, lacks energy ahd ambition. Foley Kidney Fills are tonic and strengthening, ffm. H. Clark, Springfield. Ohio, writes: '1 found no relief from kidney trouble until 1 discovered Foley Kidney Pills. Now 1 am in A-l shape."

cases reported and weeds ordered cut, how many had complied with the order?"

Mr. Herring answered, "More than two-thirds.-' "Were any notices sent out in the Fifth ward?" S't "Yes." "Were the orders in that ward complied with?" "Our records are down stairs. I would have to consult them to tell you." "Has the Terre Haute and Southeastern railroad been notified to cut the weeds on North Tenth, street?" "Yes." "Ha« anything been done?" "Partly." "Have the weeds along the tracks further north been ordered cut?" "We have received no complaint from there.** "Now you've said It. Tou have received no complaint. I' knew you would say that. It is not up to the board to sit down there waiting for complaints. It is your duty to get out and see where the weeds need cutting, that is exactly the point I am driving at, and you have explained fully."

More High Weeds.

Councilman Zimmerman sat down and Willis took the floor. He said that the weeds along the sidewalks in the Second ward were so high, that they had completely blocked the sidewalks in some places, and that on wet days a shower bath was assured when one started to walk through. He said that some of the war gardens were weed gardens and that no orders had been complied with regarding the cutting qf' the weeds. •Fallowing the statements made "by Zimmerman and Wiilis, no response was forthcoming from any of th»members of the sanitary board or Mayor Hunter. After the meeting at which a few small appropriation ordinances were passed. Councilman Zimmerman discussed the sanitary board proposition in the corridor with newspaper men. He said that in some instances on North Tenth street the weeds were so high that they resembled trees. He said that tourists passing through on trains were apt to get hay fever.

He said: "1 own a lot. here in the city, I am not going to tell where it is, but will venture to say that it is covered with weeds. am wotting for an order to cut the weeds, but have received none. I have just been waiting to see whether thev were going -to wait for me to got some one to complain about the weeds before they gave me orders to cut them, will not my weeds there until I am notified und.

I don't suppose that they will eve/ be tiut." Further items tin the report sub mitted to the eotfncll by the sanitary board showed that 249 cases of contagious dis«a„ses had been looked after, 31 persons taJten to the pest house for the first six months Of the year, 5P cases of small pox quarantined at home, 65 dead animals removed to the. crematory, 599 deaths recorded, 645 births recorded, houses fumigated. 82 garbage bins inspected, 300 yards inspected, 4.898 complaints received, 2,147 cases of weeds reported, 779 notices served to dean, up, and 303 houses ordered fumigated.

One hundred dollars was appropriated to refund a portion of the wholesale liquor license held by the Terre Haute" Brewing company, and several small appropriations for refunds to motor vehicle license holders made. One hundred and thirty dollars was appropriated to pay outstanding bills of the tire department for equipment, and an additional $232 was appropriated to pay for equipment and for dare of grounds.

Zimmerman Walks Off.

Following the meeting, Mayor Hunter refused to make any statements over the attitude against the sanitary board taken by Zimmerman, and said that the report in itself was sufficient to show just what work the board was d^ing. Following his usual custom, Zimmerman failed to shake hands with Mayor Hunter after the meeting, but proceeded down the street in company with several other councilmen, discussing the wee^ and sanitary board proposition.

Councilman D. O. Griffith., taking the side of Mayor Hunter in the matter, said that Zimmerman's own statement regarding the weeds on his lot which had not been cut, was eccactly the atti^tude taken by the majority of property wners. which made the ta.sk of sanitation a large one. and almost an impossibility for four sanitary officers to take care of outside of the other work done by them. AH members of the sanitary board were in attendance at the meeting, hut made no comments or speeches other than reading the report of the first six months.
