DESTRUCTIVE GASES IN WARFARE.

According to statements Of parties protesting to know, Germany
is using poisonous gases with telling effect.
In some instances, according to these authorities, gases have
been injected into the trenches occupied by the allied soldiery, re
sulting in practically wholesale distinctions.
II these reports are well founded, one wonders what has become
of the turpnte which the French were said to have used so effect
lively in checking the German advance upon Paris. Witnesses have
declared that with this gas whole regiments Of the German army
We're destroyed. 1t is alleged that a shell dropped in the midst of a
division would cause the death Of every living being within a radius
of three hundred yards.
Humane considerations were ascribed as the reason for the fail
ufe Oh the French to continue the use of this deadly gas. It's havoc
was so great IS to arouse pity for the foe, it was d~eclared-and
France quit employing 1t because of it's fearful destructiveness.
But this theory must be accepted with a grain of allowance. It
Is improbable that the allies would not retaliate in kind had they the
means for so doing. In warfare the chief aim is to destroy.
Ii France has such a destructive agency as turpinite is said to
be, 1t is obvious that its use is impractcable for general field oper
atoms. 1t 1t was used to stop the German advance upon Paris, the
assumption is warranted that, for the present at least, it cannot be
utilized against the Germans in Poland or in Galicia.
Humanitarian instincts would seem to forbid the use Of gases
but then, humanitarianism forbids the destruction of human life
through the agency of lead, or the sword, or the bayonet.
War is hell, and the more helsh it is the sooner the partic-
ipants will become exhausted-or annihilated!

ARE WE BECOMING DRoNEsq

The Minneapolis News editorial writer seems to be becoming
concerned over the future condition of the male population of the
country.
A late theory regarding bee lore started his mind to Illuminating
upon future possibilities. There was a time, according to this theory,
when the drones of the bee family were the supreme authority in the
tribes.
"The theory is that scarcity Of supplies and multiplicity of in
'babhants forced the females to provide for the limitation of the
and that when they entered their state Of perpetual spinster-
hood and devoted their lives to labor in storing food supplies their
disused organs of sex became deadly weapons; you know the female
bee only has the sting"
From this conclusion it was easy to pass to the theory that the
husky, loaing member Of the bee republic who wouldn't work was
lethroned. "lle became merely a necessary evil to insure the propa-
cation Of the species, and when his duty is performed for the state
lie is kicked out to starye by the female workers, or else is stung to
death and his body flung over the hedge"
Our distinguished twin city brother concludes in this afrighted
strain: ''Say, brethren, maybe this woman suffrage thing has gone
far enOugh-what?
So say we all!

A SAMPLE OF THE CRITICISM,

Taking the editorial portion Of the country as a whole, Mr..
Bryan is receiving criticism of which the following, taken from the
st. Paul Dispatch, may be regarded as a sample:
1.-The former secretary of state keeps adding to the rea-
sons why he could have signed the rejoinder Of the United
States to the German governments reply and keeps adding
to the iaexpieableness Of his refusal. At the same time
he persists IN Increasing the sum of rejoicing Of the Amer
lean people that he no longer is part of the national official
dom. Ever. upon the theory that his motive was sound, his
address to the German portion of his felow-eitizens was i'll
advised and indiscreet. Any undertaking which tends to
segregate a particular nationality or which assumes that in
the general ctizenry Of the republic there are racial differ
ences and delimitations is un-American and uneaIed for.
Nh. Bryan win not escape criticism for his latest publicity
activity, and his motive will not receive a clean bill of
health
1t will require the lapse of time to form a correct view con
corning Mr.. Bryan $ attitude. On the surface, there does not seem
to be sufficient justification for such sharp differences between the
head OF the American government and the premier of the cabinte
but there may be facts and circumstances in connection with the
affair that have not been disclosed to the public.
We. shall have to sbide our time to get an unbiased view Of
the situation.
