POLES APPEAL TO WILSON.
Ask President to Force ny
10 Abandon Gases.

LONDON, July IA despatch from
fetrograd says the Polish American
Committee has appealed to President
Wilson to use his influence to prevent
the use of ~aspnyxiating gases by the
Germans. The appeal follows:
In the name of God and humanity
the Polish nation addresses to you, as
President Of the United States and a
Christian. this prayer. that you will use
your powerful influence to compel Ger
many at any cost to renounce the en-
ployment OF asphXiating gases.
I'm a military respect the utility Of
these gases Is more than doubtful, but
If applied henceforward they will poison
our citizens, make the water and the
crops unfit for use and poison our wells
and cattle.
THE effect after the war. we believe.
will be to cause the population to die
out slowly as a consequence OF chlorine
poisoning"

LONDON. July IL am inclined to
think that most OF the account we
ave read in the last few months OF
London in war time must have been
written by people who have never been
in London before and have accordingly
no standard for comparison; or. IT may
be. the Imagination OF the observer is
attuned rather to what he expects han
to what he sees.
That imagination plays strange tricks
upon perfectly well meaning people I
have had a very recent illustration. I

no submarine nor any sign OF one. Some

I think IL must b. very much the
same In the matter of London. Before l
had reached IL l had visions, based upon
the accounts of eyewitnesses cabled
to the New York press, that London was
become a city of dreadful night, its
street lamps extinguished, its houses
covered with sandbag rs to ward of van
dering bombs. its citizens lurking fear
fully in their coal cellars. the streets
empty except for soldiers and police
men and Zeppelins by the dozen criss'
crossing the skies and bombing OFF the
heads of incautious householders when
ever they dared put their heads outside
the basement windows. Such is not ac-
tually the case.

Frank A. w~cinschenk. who has been
conducting the international 1nforma-
ton Bureau in the District National
Bank Building In Washington and has
been issuing pamphlets which COM
mend the acts OF Frank Holt and which
suggest that the author had a plan to
end the war that would startle the
world.
Weinschenk was taken. late yester-
day to the Washington Asylum Hospital

OF various kinds. He conducted his In
ternational Information Bureau at his
own expense.
He has written letters to the Presi-
lent from time to time making sug-
gestions which indicated that the writer
was OF unbalanced mind. His PAM
phlets attracted newspaper attention
which led to his detention by the secret
service officers.

QUARANTINE
BY GEORGE MUNSoN.

Jimmy Leigh got out of the train at
the little station and shouldered his
suitcase. Declining the approaches of
the solitary porter, he stepped out
briskly along the five-mile trail that
led to the Trudgeon camps teside
Lake Yellowhammer. 1t was a fad of
his to travel lightly, and in the rea-
sonably heavy suitcase he had an AK,
fishing rod and accessories, five or
six days provisions. and the minimum
OF clothing that he would need for the
very brief vacation that he had al
lowed himself.
He was hardly out of sight of the
station when he perceived an excited
looking individual yelling and gesticu-
lating at him from the high road.
which here turned from its parallel
course along the trail and wound
away beside the line.
Jimmy, who had a constitutional OBJ
lection to being shouted at, stepped
OFF at pace that defied pursuit. He
heard the shouts grow more and more
distant; then he was alone in the
heart of the wilderness. Presently
the lake came into sight. Jimmy sat
down his bag and rested.
The air was very still. A thrush
was singing in the underbrush. In a
little pool he saw trout leap. His
heart leaped too. He rose, Shout
dered his bag again, and stepped
briskly forward

branches, comfortable little cabin,
which, II not wind-proof. was at any
rate rain-proof When he had finished
the girls eyes met his in a friendly
smile.
This is very irregular" she said.
But it will be fine" answered
Jimmy.
1t was, indeed, the beginning of an
ideal vacation. The girls name was
Mary Bancroft: she was teacher in
the city, and, oddly enough, Jimmy
had been expecting to meet her
through some mutual friends for quite
a period of time. They fished to-
gether. they rowed upon the lake, and
laughed the quarantine to scorn. And
before the second day was over Jimmy
was sure that he was in love with her.
On the third day he was surer Of it.
He told her SO that night.
Il don't know how it is" he said,
but ! feel as If had always loved

Mary Bancroft looked at him in her
quick way. 81 think you are very

What do you mean?" cried Jimmy
blushing.

duty to love me because-well, be

Jimmy's only answer was to CLASP
: her in his arms. And with that he
succeeded in persuading her.
Next morning, seated patiently al
her door. he was rudely disturbed by
the excited individual this time wear
