DIR. DERNBURG TELLS OF
 USING OF GAS BOMBS

New York. April 28-Dr. Bernhardt Dernburg issued statement yester-. day relating to the use of asphyxiat- ing gases by the Germans in trench warfare. Dr. Dernburg asserted that there was published last November reports of a French invention for the purpose of asphyxiating enemies by anuseating gases, the ending of the war in favor of the allies was predict ed, with a great deal of satisfact by the American press; 'fbut as soon as the Germans. used the same kind of weapon in the battle around Ypres," pr. Dernburg added, .tthe de- nunciation of Germany for following practice of her adversaries has been rampant and the most invective sort ISof epithets have been enp1oyed.''
 This was cited as an illustration of the reasons why German syInpathiz- Hers in America, consider the Ameri- can press unfair and unneutral.

Finally. Bishop Terney caught sight of the tall form of the venerable EpiscopaIian bishop, and walking up to him, began what appeared to be an animated conversation. The two venerable gentlemen chinned together for almost half an hour and a great many Of the large crowd of watchers would give a great deal to know what those two men were saying Once in a while Bishop Williams right hand would come out of the pocket of his cape coat and he would raise ms IOreunger as IT eAnpnaS11ln5 a point The Catholic tbishop's face was wreathed in smiles, indicating. that the. subject was an agreeable one.
 The two bishops were conspicuous in more than one way. In the first place they represent two great re- hgious bodies and in the second place they were decidedly dissimilar in ap- pearance: The Episcopa1ian is tall and thin, while the Catholic ecclesias- f tic is somewhat below the medium height and stout. There was noth- ing in common in their appearance, except their trousers. Both clergy
 men wore trousers of black broad cloth that bagged dep1orab1y.
