otted for "Another Day."

Yet the great secrecy observed by these insurgents was unnecessary. The
Humanist policy of non-considering and non-observing, of suppressing
originality of thought as being useless in an age of equality, had
dulled the thinking faculty in its followers. Nature has no use for the
non-used, so the socialists were developing into living and working
human automata, in fact, taking life more like an advanced kind of
animal. Was it, therefore, any wonder that they were blind to the
developing danger?

The same circumstances quickened the inventive faculty of the oppressed.
Danger quickens intuition, and the spark of invention shone brightly in
many covert places.

Thought was, however, concentrated on one object, the quickest and
surest method of overthrowing the Humanist policy and installing an
ideal method of living in which not only would there be "equal
opportunities for all," which, though it was the policy of the Humanists
at their inauguration, had developed into "equal opportunities for
leaders," but there would also be the rule of "payment by results."

Inventive genius concentrated upon two objectives:--First, an ideal
method of secret communication between followers; and second, the most
efficient fighting machine--a weapon that would only require a minimum
of personnel to operate. With such a weapon, a small force, such as the
Individualists numbered, would be a match for a multitude.

The ideal means of inter-communication was invented by a Belgian. It was
simply the improvement of the method of transmitting and receiving a
certain type of ether wave through the earth. This wave did not need
aerials, and could only be received and transmitted through certain
instruments that were kept in sacred seclusion in secret places.

With these instruments followers were ever in close touch with each
other, and co-operative measures were detailed for the day of general
uprising.

The fighting machine was also invented by a Belgian. It was the ideal
flying machine, sought since the Wright Brothers conquered the air ten
years before.

The old style of aeroplane only kept in the air when at a great speed,
hence it could not hover. As a weapon of offence it had, therefore, many
disadvantages in bomb-dropping or other belligerent action. These
disadvantages increased according to the height from which the aeroplane
would have to operate; and as the German War of 1915 had improved the
range of
