ton approximately 2,454,07S bales of 500

POISON BOMBS NOT MADE
BY FIRM IN CLEVELAND
Government Finds That Peculiar
Wording of Advertisement Is
Cause of Stir.

Peculiar ideas as to what would be
good advertising for attracting bust
ness is what stirred the German ele-
ment in this country End moved the
Department of Commerce to start its
machinery to find out if American
firms were violating neutrality by
manufacturing a peculiar poison bomb.
Assistant Secretary Sweet of the De-
partment of Commerce said today that
after going over the informal reports
of Edward T. Quigiey, assistant solicit
tor of the Department of Commerce,
who made the personal investigation
both at New York, where the magazine
containing the advertisement was pub
iished, and at Cleveland, Ohio. where
the machine is manufactured. he was
satisfied that there was no Interior
motive behind the advertisement. Mr..
Quigley returned to the city today, al
though the informal reports had pre-
coded him.
The Department of Justice announced
today that its investigation showed
that the company in question does not
manufacture explosives of any kind,
but merely makes machines capable OF
use in the production of shells and am
munition. The department holds that
the confusion was the result OF unfor-
tunate wording of the advertisement

RHEIMS CATHEDRAL is
VIEWED BY COMMISSION
Arrives on Scene Just After German
Shells Damage Building-Im-
possible to Save Windows.

PARIS, July "A commission ap-
pointed by the British foreign office to
visit Rheims and inspect the famous
cathedral, which has been damaged Sc
riously by German artillery fire, ar
rived Sunday morning, just after Ger
man shells had struck the building.
The party included Owen Johnson. Ar
mold Bennett. Walter Hale and G. Fl.
MAR. They picked up pieces of shells
which had glanced off the walls and
roofs. All agreed that neither French
troops nor guns were anywhere near
the cathedral.
1t has been impossible to save the
priceless stained glass windows in the
cathedral, because the erection of scat
folding which would be necessary to
take them down, the French say,
might give the Germans the ider that
the cathedral was being used for OBJ
servation purposes.

imprisoned in Vienna, although false
reports of their liberation have been
spread officially in the hope of in
f1uencing the Czech population in favor
of the war loan.
The refusal Of the Czech party to
disavow it's arrested leaders is reported
to have resulted in Archduke Frederick,

army. addressing to Emperor Francis
Joseph a report denouncinG all Czechs
as traitors. The Times article contains
the statement that several Czech regi-
ments have deserted to the Russians

 arsenic cancer. etc., namely the dis eases caused by the commodities men, tioned, refer in reality only to a pre- disposition to the disease. The com. modities themselves do not actually cause cancer. they merely render the tissues prone to it. which seems to occur in a specific manner. The com. modities always in the first instance produce l-proliferation, usually in the nature of warty growth, and it IS not until an open ulcer has ap- peared, generally at the base of the wart. that malignancy supervenes.
