In the Fall of 1928, Robert and Walter completed an invention of Sun-mirrors, whereby they were able to collect the rays from the sun and produce heat powerful enough to melt down skyscrapers in a few minutes. With these mirrors and the aid of electricity, they discovered a powerful light ray Robert knew that this was going to be of great value in the coming war. They named this machine “The Demon of Death.” Miss Quinton had been very much interested in this machine during the course of construction, and she named it “Spit-Fire” because it could send forth such powerful sparks of fire, destroying instantly any metal that it touched. They held a conference and agreed that this new discovery must be kept secret and should never be used except in the defense of the United States in time of war and only then if our country was in dire peril and unable to cope with the enemy. There was one secret connected with the machine that only Robert knew. They intended to start to build a giant airship in a short time equipped with “The Demon of Death.” They figured it would send a powerful death ray 3000 to 5000 miles through space, destroying everything within a radius of 700 miles. Work was started on the new machine with all secrecy. It had already been christened “Marie the Angel of Mercy.”

As the end of 1928 neared, war was already raging in Europe. England and Russia had already gone to war as Robert had predicted. Complications were developing quick and fast and war clouds were gathering. Robert knew that it was only a question of a short time when the United States with all of its gold supply, would be attacked and there would be a great battle in the air. Great progress had been made in aviation. Airplanes were carrying mail at the rate of 300 miles per hour. Passenger lines were now starting all over the United States. “Marie the Angel of Mercy,” Robert’s great ship, was rapidly nearing completion. The new 12-cylinder motor had been tested and the engineers had estimated that they would attain a speed of 1000 miles per hour. Robert was elated over the success and knew that he would now be prepared to help his country in time of its greatest need. He had been working early and late and the interest in his work had kept his mind off Marie. Yet not a day passed but what he made some inquiries or had his detectives chase some clew which he hoped would lead to the discovery of Marie, but all efforts were in vain. No news had ever been heard of her.

Robert figured that there would be a big bull campaign in cotton during 1929 so he had started buying early in the year, expecting a big advance later. He had also forecast the rapid advance of certain classes of stocks. During 1928 he had closed a successful bear campaign in Major Motors and was still holding his Right Aeroplane stock, which had continued to advance, and he figured that it would have a big rise during 1929. His fortune was piling up rapidly, despite all the money he was spending on his new inventions. The new ship “Marie, the Angel of Mercy,” was now about perfected, but Robert intended that this should never be made known to the public until he had it in perfect working order and it was a success beyond doubt.
Pages 270-271
The news of their coming marriage was not the only good news they had. Walter and Edna had been working day and night for months on a great chemical discovery and had now succeeded in completing it. This discovery was a perfectly harmless gas to be used in war or for medical purposes. It would put people to sleep and they would remain asleep for 7 days, with no ill effects. It had always been Robert’s desire to have something to use in war which would not destroy human lives and he was very much elated over Walter’s discovery. Walter told him that he had already tested it and that Edna had such confident in him, she had taken the gas, remained asleep for 7 days, and felt no ill effects. Walter knew just exactly why it worked, because he was a great chemist and knew the natural law behind the discovery. He told Robert that this must be kept a secret until time of war when with the new ship “Marie the Angel of Mercy,” traveling 1000 miles an hour, they could go from one city to another or from one battlefield to another, release the gas and put everyone to sleep for 7 days. In the meantime, with “The Demon of Death”—they could destroy the enemy’s bases and fortifications; would be able to make their own peace terms with the enemy and at the same time obey the divine command of God “Thou shalt not kill.”
Pages 285-286
Captain Robert Gordon was still stationed near Los Angeles and when news came of the terrible loss of life along the Rio Grande, his mind turned to “Marie the Angel of Mercy,”—his great plane secretly stored away in the Adirondack Mountains for use in just such an emergency as this. He knew what the “Demon of Death” could do and the sleeping gas invented by Captain Kennelworth. He thought of going to General Pearson, telling him of his discoveries and offering them to the United States to put into immediate use, but after meditating over the matter decided that they would only call him a fool and refuse to listen to him as they had before, because he was too young. However, he asked General Pearson for orders to permit him to go on a scouting expedition over Mexico and up and down the Rio Grande to see if he could learn anything of value.
Pages 336-337
Supreme Commander Gordon then ordered each officer and commander to return to his respective post of duty and to await further orders. He said, “If my plans develop as I think, you will not need to take further action.” He asked for the use of the largest building in New York, “The Mammouth” and wanted the entire top floor of this 110-story building at 42nd street and Broadway. His wishes were immediately granted. Was told that the Government already had taken over control of all the large buildings in the United States and that he might use the building as he chose. Supreme Commander Gordon departed from Washington that night in the old “St. Marie” which he had ordered brought to Washington to convey him back, taking with him Colonel Walter Kennelworth. He had instructed Colonel Edna Kennelworth to meet him at the Mammouth Building in New York. On arrival he proceeded at once to put the top floor in order for the “Demon of Death” to be moved in. Colonel Kennelworth and another assistant were sent at once to the Adirondacks to the secret hiding of “Marie the Angel of Mercy,” to test out this giant Ezekiel airplane, and bring it to New York City. The machine for distributing the sleeping gas which would reach a radius of 700 miles, was made in readiness on the top floor of the building. “Marie the Angel of Mercy” was in perfect working order, and arrived in New York ship-shape.
The whole United States was waiting in anxiety because it was known that within a few days the armistice would end and the United States must either fight or surrender. The people in Washington, Boston, Philadelphia, and New York had not slept for more than a week. They knew that an air attack had been threatened and feared the consequences. Supreme Commander Gordon dispatched the sleeping gas by “Marie the Angel of Mercy,” and it was distributed to the planes all across the country. Colonel Kennelworth returned at the end of the second day in “Marie the Angel of Mercy,” after distributing the sleeping gas and giving instructions how to use it. The “Demon of Death” was tested out and found to be in good working order. For many months previous to this, all of the large cities had been kept in darkness because they feared night attacks.
Pages 353-355
Days went by and everything was quiet in Detroit. No attacks were made anywhere in the United States. December 25th, 1931, arrived and the United States had much to be thankful for. There was a great rejoicing and merry-making on Christmas. Supreme Commander Gordon had a great Christmas. The Major Electric Co. had been working on the process for making planes invisible and reported to him that they had completed the process according to his plans and that it was a success. They had also completed a new motor which he had designed with 24 cylinders. This motor was to be used in lifting our planes to great heights. It was estimated that it would carry a ship 50 miles in the air if necessary. A stabilizer and anchor had been completed in accordance with his plans. The Major Electric Co. informed him that these machines were all ready for him to test out. He ordered these new inventions to be sent to New York headquarters. A large 24-cylinder motor was placed in “Marie the Angel of Mercy” and she was made an invisible airship. This motor was able to take its power from the air.
Supreme Commander Gordon went to New York on January 1st, 1932, leaving Colonel Morrison in charge in Detroit and ordering General Pearson to Detroit to hold the fort until he completed the test in New York. Supreme Commander Gordon accompanied only by Colonel Edna Kennelworth made the first flight in “Marie the Angel of Mercy,” ascended to a height of more than 20 miles and anchored the “Marie” in the air. The new inventions were a perfect success and the machine could rise to any height and anchor and remain as long as it was desired and was absolutely invisible.
He was now in position to construct a Tunnel thru the Air from New York to Europe and sail the “Marie” in safety thru it, then rise to a height of 20 to 50 miles over any of the cities, anchor and start destruction. “Marie the Angel of Mercy” could carry enough sleeping gas to destroy or put to sleep people over thousands of miles of territory. After remaining anchored in the air for two days to test "Marie the Angel of Mercy," Supreme Commander Gordon descended to New York, anchored at the Mammouth Building to get a report of what had been happening and prepare for any attack. The Enemy were keeping quiet and making no move, evidently trying to find out what America's new inventions were before making the next great attack.
“Marie the Angel of Mercy” was now equipped with the Tunnel machine which would automatically put a Tunnel thru the Air anywhere in any direction. The Supreme Commander had enlarged and improved upon the Tunnel machine or vacuum until it could be made 25 to 50 miles wide in any direction from a large city. He had also discovered how to send ships thru the air without an aviator, directing them by radio rays, which would enable them to distribute sleeping gas among the enemy's lines and prevent loss of any of his valuable aviators. He now had confidence that every city would be safe from an attack and no destruction could take place. The Henry Motor Co. and the Major Electric Co. were ordered to manufacture more of the Tunnel machines just as fast as possible so that one might be placed in each city in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington and Savannah, Ga., to protect the Eastern Coast of the United States. It was the opinion of Supreme Commander Gordon that the Enemy would eventually concentrate their final attacks on the Eastern shores of the United States and if unsuccessful in attacking New York and Washington, the war would be over. He intended to be fully prepared so that the United States would emerge victorious without much loss of life and was especially trying to protect the women and children in the large cities.
Pages 365-366
Slowly and carefully, with a trembling hand, she swung the powerful gas distributing machine into action and as she saw the planes coming by the thousands begin slowly to plunge into the Tunnel thru the Air, she thought of how she had risked her life taking the sleeping gas for seven days to prove its success for the love of her husband, who invented it, and for the love of her country. She thought of Supreme Commander Gordon naming his great ship “Marie the Angel of Mercy” and then realized what was in his mind at the time; that the sleeping gas should be named the “God of Mercy” because it was winning the war in a humane way without taking human lives. Her mind went back to the great destruction of Los Angeles and San Francisco and above all, she remembered the loss of more than a million lives at the battle of Chicago; how merciless the enemy had been, sparing not the lives of women or children. We were now indeed merciful unto our foes and heaping coals of fire upon their heads and she believed this would be a great example to the world. She knew that the enemy had used poisoned gas of all kinds, poisoning the water and foods in the various cities and resorted to every means to destroy both life and property.
Pages 375-376
The President rushed in and found Supreme Commander Gordon sitting peacefully reading a newspaper. The President could hardly believe it and asked him for the facts of the attack upon New York City and if all enemy planes had been destroyed. Supreme Commander Gordon told the President that it was a fact. The President asked Supreme Commander Gordon if there had been any losses to our airplane fleet in destroying the enemy and where our fleet was now located. The Supreme Commander pointed to the “Demon of Death” and the sleeping gas machines and said: "There is the fleet which has destroyed and captured probably 100,000 of the enemy's planes. Mr. President, would you like to go on a little sight-seeing expedition?" The President said that he would. A button was pressed and in a few minutes “Marie the Angel of Mercy,” Robert's big ship, appeared in front of the window. The President told Supreme Commander Gordon that he had neither seen nor heard of such a ship before and asked him where it came from. Robert said, "Mr. President, this ship was built according to the plan laid down by Ezekiel in the Bible. I worked on it for years and completed it just before the war broke out. Its most useful work is yet to be done.” Supreme Commander Gordon then explained fully the working of the “Demon of Death” to the President.
They stepped upon board “Marie the Angel of Mercy,” sailed out across Long Island, slowed the plane down, drifted very low and passed over the thousands of airplanes which had been destroyed.
They sailed over Staten Island and saw the wrecks of
the planes which had been destroyed there. Then swung
up the Hudson River above Yonkers, descended close to
the water and anchored in the air. The President had
never been on an airship that was anchored in the air
and was amazed at Supreme Commander Gordon's marvelous invention. He handed the President a pair of
powerful field glasses and told him to take a look. The
river was almost choked with the wrecks of the airplanes
which had gone down defying the "Demon of Death."
Bodies of aviators wearing the uniforms of the various
nations were floating upon the waters. When the Supreme Commander explained to the President that he
believed that not one of the enemy's planes had escaped,
he marveled at the wonderful invention and the fact
that two men and a lone woman could accomplish such
a feat. Supreme Commander Gordon then said: “Mr.
President, your greatest sight is yet to come.
He then started "Marie the Angel of Mercy," sailed
out across the New Jersey hills, slowed down the big
ship and entered the Tunnel thru the Air. There the
greatest sight that human eyes had ever witnessed
greeted the President. They passed slowly thru the
Tunnel where there were thousands and thousands of
planes unharmed suspended in the air with the aviators
all sound asleep. The Supreme Commander then said:
"This work was done by the sleeping gas. As this giant
horde of probably 50,000 planes moving in sections of
hundreds and thousands, one following after another,
tried to attack New York, General Pearson and myself
worked the Tunnel machines and Colonel Edna Kennelworth operated the sleeping gas machine. You can
see the effective work and our mission of mercy. We
have not taken human life and have gained the greatest
victory in the world. These aviators will sleep for
seven days and then awake unharmed. There will be
no ill effects of the sleeping gas. We will of course
remove the airships and aviators to the Wilson, Coolidge, Roosevelt, Lowden, Harding and Washington airfields and when they awake they will be our prisoners
and the enemy's airships will be in our possession.
On the way back, Supreme Commander Gordon told
the President that the Marie the Angel of Mercy could
make a speed of 1000 miles an hour and that he could
easily go round the world in 24 hours. On their return
all was quiet in New York City. No one knew what had
happened that night. The President could not find words
to express his appreciation for this wonderful work. He
asked the Supreme Commander what his future plans
were. Supreme Commander Gordon told the President
to read the Bible, especially Daniel's prophecy and the
book of Ezekiel, and he would know what was yet to
take place. It was agreed that the news of the success
with the "Demon of Death" and the sleeping gas machine was to be kept secret and that the President was
the only one to know of Robert's great invention.
Pages 393-395
In bidding good-bye to his loyal comrades, he told
them that he was going to take Marie the Angel of
Mercy, and was going alone to London, Berlin, Moscow,
Madrid, Tokio and destroy buildings in these cities and
with the light ray put every city in darkness, put the
people to sleep and leave them for 7 days. Then he
would destroy or conquer every important city in the
world in 6 days, just the same as God created the world
in 6 days, and that on the 7th day he would return to
New York City and await the action of the Allied
Nations in regard to peace. He ordered all of the
countries notified by radio that he would leave New
York City on Marie the Angel of Mercy, which could
make 1000 miles an hour, and when he arrived in London and other cities everyone should be out of the buildings which he would destroy with the "Demon of Death";
that this was to be a mission of mercy and that he would
not destroy one life if possible but that he must demonstrate the power that he could destroy all life and buildings if necessary.
The world was astounded and amazed but of course
did not believe that there was any such invention or
any such power in the hands of any one man, or any
one nation. At 7 A.M. on July 21st, Supreme Commander Gordon sailed away in the Marie the Angel of Mercy and in a little over three hours he was over
London. He notified them to clear all the big buildings on Lombard and Downing Streets. They were
unable to see his plane or hear it but they knew that he
was somewhere over London in the air. The people
were frightened and cleared out of the buildings.
Women and children were taken away to safety and
slowly the death ray started to do its work. The big
buildings crumbled away, slowly melting down as tho
they were butter. The people fell upon their knees in
the streets and prayed to God to save them from this
great invisible force. Many people believed that it was
an unseen power from heaven that had come to destroy
the world and that this was the end of the world. When
he had completed the destruction of enough buildings
to show them his power, he circled over London time and
time again, sending forth the sleeping gas and the people
all succumbed and went to sleep. With the power from
his machine he extinguished all the electric lights in the
city and left it in darkness. The news of this terrible
disaster was sent from London to the Allied Enemy
headquarters in the United States.
Supreme Commander Gordon then proceeded on the
following day to Berlin. He intended to teach the
Germans a lesson that they never would forget. He
would show mercy that they had never shown because
not one woman or child would be harmed, but protected.
Not one human life would be taken, but he would make
the destruction of buildings in Berlin so complete that
they would never forget his visit. He would remind
them that the Kaiser and all of the great German armies
were powerless when Marie the Angel of Mercy sent
forth its destructive rays and sleeping gas. He sailed
over Berlin and notified everyone to clear out of the
buildings. He destroyed all of the important buildings
on the business streets, turned loose his sleeping gas and
left Berlin in darkness, to sleep for 7 days.
Page 397-398
The poor and uneducated people of Russia had been
warned of his coming. The newspapers told them what
had been happening in other cities, but the people refused to believe that they would not be destroyed. Many
of them rushed to the waters and drowned themselves.
Others went to the forests to hide. Moscow was more
excited than ever before. People had been praying day
and night before he arrived. Finally when he was
over Moscow, he sent a radio message that they should
clear all the important buildings which he was going
to destroy. He descended very low and located the
buildings and when he had been notified that the people
had been moved to safety, turned on the "Demon of
Death." As the buildings leapt into flames and the
people could see them, they were sure that this was the
end of the world and that God was destroying it by
fire, because they were unable to see the source from
which the destruction was coming, the destroying rays
from the machine being invisible and Marie the Angel
of Mercy being invisible. When he had flnished the
destruction of the buildings, he turned loose the sleeping
gas, darkened the city and sailed for Constantinople.

As the end of 1928 neared, war was already raging in Europe. England and Russia had already gone to war as Robert had predicted. Complications were developing quick and fast and war clouds were gathering.

He had also forecast the rapid advance of certain classes of stocks. During 1928 he had closed a successful bear campaign in Major Motors and was still holding his Right Aeroplane stock, which had continued to advance, and he figured that it would have a big rise during 1929.

all sound asleep. The Supreme Commander then said:
"This work was done by the sleeping gas. As this giant
horde of probably 50,000 planes moving in sections of
hundreds and thousands, one following after another,
tried to attack New York, General Pearson and myself
worked the Tunnel machines and Colonel Edna Kennelworth operated the sleeping gas machine. You can
see the effective work and our mission of mercy. We
have not taken human life and have gained the greatest
victory in the world. These aviators will sleep for
seven days and then awake unharmed. There will be
no ill effects of the sleeping gas. We will of course
remove the airships and aviators to the Wilson, Coolidge, Roosevelt, Lowden, Harding and Washington airfields and when they awake they will be our prisoners
and the enemy's airships will be in our possession.
On the way back, Supreme Commander Gordon told
the President that the Marie the Angel of Mercy could
make a speed of 1000 miles an hour and that he could
easily go round the world in 24 hours. On their return
all was quiet in New York City. No one knew what had
happened that night. The President could not find words
to express his appreciation for this wonderful work. He
asked the Supreme Commander what his future plans
were. Supreme Commander Gordon told the President
to read the Bible, especially Daniel's prophecy and the
book of Ezekiel, and he would know what was yet to
take place. It was agreed that the news of the success
with the "Demon of Death" and the sleeping gas machine was to be kept secret and that the President was
the only one to know of Robert's great invention.

In bidding good-bye to his loyal comrades, he told
them that he was going to take Marie the Angel of
Mercy, and was going alone to London, Berlin, Moscow,
Madrid, Tokio and destroy buildings in these cities and
with the light ray put every city in darkness, put the
people to sleep and leave them for 7 days. Then he
would destroy or conquer every important city in the
world in 6 days, just the same as God created the world
in 6 days, and that on the 7th day he would return to
New York City and await the action of the Allied
Nations in regard to peace. He ordered all of the
countries notified by radio that he would leave New
York City on Marie the Angel of Mercy, which could
make 1000 miles an hour, and when he arrived in London and other cities everyone should be out of the buildings which he would destroy with the "Demon of Death";
that this was to be a mission of mercy and that he would
not destroy one life if possible but that he must demonstrate the power that he could destroy all life and buildings if necessary.
The world was astounded and amazed but of course
did not believe that there was any such invention or
any such power in the hands of any one man, or any
one nation. At 7 A.M. on July 21st, Supreme Commander Gordon sailed away in the Marie the Angel of Mercy and in a little over three hours he was over
London. He notified them to clear all the big buildings on Lombard and Downing Streets. They were
unable to see his plane or hear it but they knew that he
was somewhere over London in the air. The people
were frightened and cleared out of the buildings.
Women and children were taken away to safety and
slowly the death ray started to do its work. The big
buildings crumbled away, slowly melting down as tho
they were butter. The people fell upon their knees in
the streets and prayed to God to save them from this
great invisible force. Many people believed that it was
an unseen power from heaven that had come to destroy
the world and that this was the end of the world. When
he had completed the destruction of enough buildings
to show them his power, he circled over London time and
time again, sending forth the sleeping gas and the people
all succumbed and went to sleep. With the power from
his machine he extinguished all the electric lights in the
city and left it in darkness. The news of this terrible
disaster was sent from London to the Allied Enemy
headquarters in the United States.
Supreme Commander Gordon then proceeded on the
following day to Berlin. He intended to teach the
Germans a lesson that they never would forget. He
would show mercy that they had never shown because
not one woman or child would be harmed, but protected.
Not one human life would be taken, but he would make
the destruction of buildings in Berlin so complete that
they would never forget his visit. He would remind
them that the Kaiser and all of the great German armies
were powerless when Marie the Angel of Mercy sent
forth its destructive rays and sleeping gas. He sailed
over Berlin and notified everyone to clear out of the
buildings. He destroyed all of the important buildings
on the business streets, turned loose his sleeping gas and
left Berlin in darkness, to sleep for 7 days.

The poor and uneducated people of Russia had been
warned of his coming. The newspapers told them what
had been happening in other cities, but the people refused to believe that they would not be destroyed. Many
of them rushed to the waters and drowned themselves.
Others went to the forests to hide. Moscow was more
excited than ever before. People had been praying day
and night before he arrived. Finally when he was
over Moscow, he sent a radio message that they should
clear all the important buildings which he was going
to destroy. He descended very low and located the
buildings and when he had been notified that the people
had been moved to safety, turned on the "Demon of
Death." As the buildings leapt into flames and the
people could see them, they were sure that this was the
end of the world and that God was destroying it by
fire, because they were unable to see the source from
which the destruction was coming, the destroying rays
from the machine being invisible and Marie the Angel
of Mercy being invisible. When he had flnished the
destruction of the buildings, he turned loose the sleeping
gas, darkened the city and sailed for Constantinople.
