For the fourth time in ten days New
York suffered from a gas attack yester-
day. Twice before TASKS Of bromine

have been broken in the street, and by
ISLANDERS have fed with smarting eyes

Company, of St. Johns. Mich, began to
leak as il was being carried along
Laight Street from the New York Cen
trail warehouse. and was abandoned IN
the thoroughfare by the truckmen.
Brown fumes arose from the box,
and persons passing by began TO cough
and rub their eyes. Some of them
shifted enough of the gas to become
actually i'll. The police who cleared
the street also were affected. 1t was
more than an hour before the box was
taken away.

CURED in Hoboken. Last Friday a

among the ex-President's statements

After stating the limitations OF such a

by saying: THE world court would be

Of wounded men. They were packed
in endless rows Of beds; they covered
the floors and the ground outside.
Nothing could be seen but one solid
mass OF human suffering. All day and
all night surgeons operated. while
from the fields outside arose the never
ending cries Of the tortured men,
begging to be put out OF misery. Nor
are shot and shell the only weapon OF
attack; pestllence and famine follow

awful pictures Of human suffering, the
multitudes Of feeble old men and
