CEN. FRENCH DEGREES
USE OF POISON CASES

London, July 16.-Field Marshall Sir
John French, in review of the opera
tions of the British expeditionary
forces in April and May, makes caus-
tic reference to the use by the Ger
mans of asphyxiating gas, saying: II
much regret that the fighting has
been characterized ON the enemy's
side by cynical and barbarous disre-
gard of the well known usages of civ
ilized war and by flagrant disregard
of The Hague convention
"All the scientific resources of Ger
many apparently have been brought
into play to produce gas of so viru-
lent and poisonous nature that any
human being brought in contact with
it is first paralyzed and then meets
with a lingering and agonizing death.
The brain power and thought, which
evidently have been at work before
this unworthy method of making war
reached the pitch of efficiency which
has been demonstrated in its practice,
shows that the Germans must have
harbored these designs for a long
time. AS soldier | can not help ex-
pressing the deepest regret, and some
surprise, that an army which has
hitherto claimed to be the chief ex-
ponent of the chivalry of war should
have stopped to employ such devices
against brave and gallant foes
The ed Cross Society learns that
the gases which the Germans are now
employing on the, Russian front are
denser, deadlier and quicker in their
action than heretofore" says Reuters
Petrograd correspondent. Numerous
deaths from gases are reported. Res
Dirators are generally inefficacious.H

CRUSADE ON
BALL POOLS
OPENED IN EAST.
POSTAL INSPECTORS MAKE
TWO ARRESTS IN WILKES
BARRE, PA.

Wilkesbarre. Pa. July 16.-What
government agents claim to be a ma
tion-wide crusade against baseball
pools was begun here today by the
arrest of John X. Kilcoyne and
Thomas E. warman. promoters of the
Weekly World and Pastime Review,
sporting publications. through which
an alleged pool is said to have been
conducted. Both men, who are charg-
ed with conspiracy in the shipment of
baseball pool tickets from one state to
another by express, waived hearing
and were held in $4,000 bail each for
the September grand jury.
James T. Cortelyou. chief postal in
spector of the Philadelphia district,
whose assistants made the arrests to-
day, declared that the federal authori-
ties we're determined TO stop the oper
alton of baseball pools in all parts of
the country. Promoters of the pools,
he declared. were violating the penal
code of the United States. the penalty
for which is two years imprisonment
and a fine of $1,000
Announcement was made by Off
cials of the Weekly World and Pas
time Review a few days ago that the
publications had suspended, but this.
Mr.. Cortelyou said, would in no way
affect the prosecution of the pro
moters.
The two publications are alleged to
have had agents in all the principal
cities of the country. and they are
said to have numbered about $4,000
persons. Tickets for weekly drawings
were distributed and it is declared the
prizes aggregated several thousand
dollars each week Several arrests in
with the pool have been
made in other cities.
