The Protective Uniform Worn by the German
Soldiers While Discharging Poisonous
Gases Upon the French and Eng
lish Soldiers. Sketched by
A. Forester
A. Forester.

THE poisonous gas war which was
started by the Germans in a sur
prise attack on the British at
Ypres. continues to be the subject Of ex-
cited comment not only among all the bel.
ligerent nations but in all countries that
are considering the possibilities of future
war.
The allies naturally accuse the Germans
OF brutality and treachery in employing
this new and surprising method OF war.
The French poet Edmond Rostand, the
most distinguished man of letters in
France, has best expressed the feeling OF
the allies in a remarkable poem in which
he has poured all the sarcasm and satire
ne could command upon the Germans for
their use OF poisonous gases.
This composition, which is printed
above. is considered by far the most
original Of the many poems that Rostand
has published on war subjects.
1t is charged that the Germans arm yio.
lating provision OF Tho Hague Conyen.
ton, to which they subscribed bv using
poisonous gases. They reply that the
French had already used such gases and
Iiia' PICS Was triumph Tor German
chemistry. Lord Kitchener has now an.
nounced that the British will use SINH.
lar gases in retaliation upon the Ger.
mans.
The reason for prohibiting poison gases
is that they are excessively cruel, and
destroy the health of the sufferer, even il
he RECEIVERS. The interesting letters
printed on this page. written by soldiers
at the front who have suffered from the
gases OF seen their effects, appear to
prove that these new terrors Of war cause
hopeless invaidism when inhaled In anv
quantity.
Many people will certainly wonder
whether it is more nhuman TO XIII men
with poisonous gases than TO mangle them
with shells and shrapnel AS most of tbe
provisions OF The Hague Convention have
been thrown to the winds, is it not moro
logical that every country should prepare
to use new and terrible weapons offective-
ly? 1t certainly adds 10 the cruelties n,
war. but that has not unusually been an
objection to tho introduction OF naw
weapon.

REoLUTIoNS.

Old is the making and break
ing of good resolutions. But
the history of breaking good
resolutions has been the history
of progress. It is the resolu-
lions KEPT that have affected
the world, not the resolutions
! broken.
On the western bank of the
Nile the Germans-if' they get
thereAwill see the broken frag-
ments of the statue Of Rameses
weighing more than million
and half pounds; they will
study the inscriptions and study
the resolutions-the resolution
of peace and friendship that the
King Of the Hittites, Khitasir,
made with his Egyptian broth
er, Rameses. 1t is a resolution
written y Khitasir on a plate of
silver saying, amoung other
things:
"He shall be my ally; he shall
be my friend. I will be his al
ly; will be his friend forever.
The sons of the sons of the great
King of the Hittites will hold to-
gether and be friends with the
sons of the sons of that great
Prince Of Egypt.
Broken was that good resolu-
tion written on silver. Broken
were the good resolutions of the
European nations; broken are
the ancient temples and the sta
tues.
Broken will be good resolu-
tions following this war and
many of the good resolutions
following this new year.
But each year, each century,
finds SOME of the good resolu-
tions kept. And the world as
whole, and individuals, become
better.
NEW YEARS DAY
Scientists say there have been
billions of 'em.

half as far as that.
