Germans Justify
ASphyxianf's Use;
GaSNOf i'm Bombs

Trenchcs-Paris Paper
Urges Retaliation.

PARIS. April 25.--The correspondent
Of La Potrie at Hazebrouck says that
men who observed the beginning OF the
German advance north OF Ypres deny
that bombs filled with asphyxiating gas
we're used but say that some kind Of a
gas was generated in the German
trenches and carried into the allied lines
by the wind
Before the fumes commenced Il was
noticed that something OF an unusual
nature was going on behind the enemy's
parapets. The Germans waited for q
favorable wind. ana when I. came the
operations began by the appearance OF
great. dark clouds of dense smoke which
rolled toward the allied positions.
Taking advantage OF the Supplying
effect caused by this smoke. the Germans
rushed forward. Some say that at first
the Germans had their faces covered
with masks.
The Temps in commenting on this
latest innovation calls the use Of as
phyxiating gas the last crime left for
tho Germans to perpetra'e. and says
they will stand dishonored In history
because of Il. The German official ex
PLANTATION Is that the Hague convention
ruled against the use OF asphyNiating
projectiles and tina. therefore the con-
ventlon was not abused. They say that
the German troops did not fire such
bombs. H. this explanation the Temps
finds hypocrisy and duplicity because, IL
says. the Hague introduction was not
aimed at any special engine for spread
ing asphyxiatnS gas. but against the use
Of asphyNiants in general. II adds that
the Germans had long prepared this
monstrous measure and experimental

tina. certain Germans have confded TO
him that the Germans intend to continue
the use OF asphyXiating gas and eXpec;
that il Will prove their final means OF
victory. The journal dos Debats of
Paris expresses the opinion that II will
not be sufficient merely to protest against
this latest barharic violation OF The
Hague convention. hut that 1t is neces-
sary TO employ the same measures in
retaliation without loss OF time 1t adds
that the capa bilties OF French industrial
production allow France to fight on such
grounds with an equal advantage.
II half of what has been said of the
efficacy OF the Turpin asphyXiating shells
is rue. SAYS the journal dos Debdts,
there is no doubt that France will be

Peoria Authority IntimateS
White House Denial Is
Government Blind.

WAsHrNGroN, Aprt e5.--The White
House and P.ndell-Iienry NJ. OF Peoria
seem to be pulling at cross purposes.
4 Washington despatch to THE Sun
few days ago told of an article pub
lished in the Peoria star, announcing
that Mr.. Pindell was about to leave
Peoria on an important secret mission
TO Europe for President Wilson.
Pndell. ii will be recalled, was the
Peoria editor VINO was nominated by
President Wilson TO be Ambassador to
ST. Petersburg, but who resigned imme-
diately after H. had been confirmed
The Withdrawal was generally attributed
to the publication of a letter. said to
have been written 10 Pndell by Senator
Hamilton Lewis, which pictured the
social delights OF an Ambassadors life
In Europe and told how he might hit
from capital to capital at the expense of
the Government to the Sterilization of his
own name and that of Peoria.
II was only natural. therefore. that
the publication of the news in the Peoria
star of Pndolls selection as a special
envoy to the war zone should have sug-
gested the likelihood that he was going
to Join col House on an important
peace mission. This theory was knocked
in the head, though. when the White
House insisted that Mr., pindell not only
had not been selected as peace envoy
but that he had moi been commissioned
20 undertake any mission whatsoever
for the President in Europe.
Now the Peoria star rises again to re-
mark as follows:
The above Ghe White House deniaD
will come as a surprise to Peorians
ON April II Mr. Pindell informed .he
Star that he was going to Europe on
a mission for the President. but said
that he was not at liberty to dvulge
the character of his misaion. II this
is true. the above despatch the White
House deniaD Is probably a blind sent
out by the Government in order to pre-
vent Governments of Europe from dis
covering what Mr.. Pindell Is up to. All
Of which shows there are tricks In the
Government business as well as any
thing else"
The publication Of this latest Peoria
item has set many folks IN Washington to
