UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR AT
 WORK ON POISONOUS GAS

SEATTLE, July 23 A new asphy- xiating gas which may prove more deadly than any now in use at the battle front is the aim of experiments which are now being conducted by Dr. William M. Dehn of the chemis- try department. Dr. Dehn is widely recognized authority on this depart. ment of chemistry.
 Kakodyl compound is the name giv, en by Dr. Dehn to the mixture with which he is experimenting. This name he says, is descriptive enough for all practical purposes, without giving the enemy any real information. pr. Dehn has not yet brought his experiments to satisfactory conclusion.
 Professor H. c. Byers, head of the same department, has also been asked to conduct series of investigations to be particularly concerned with i'm. proyements in the manufacture of aluminium.

Through the sultry black ness of the July night had struck brilliant beam of illumination. It came from the search light of the English ship and it had fallen and rested full upon them. It never wa Vered. It seemed to be looking into the face of every man of them as if to see who would speak next. The words died away on their lips. The search light simply stared them into silence. They fidgeted and whisper ed to each other for a few minutes and then slipped away into the grateful obscurity of the surrounding dark ness. After that the searchlight was master of the situation.

WAR CRANKS ARE PLENTIFUL IN
 WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, July 21 Insane aslums near Washington are rapidly filling, the result of an unprecedented influx of men with infallible schemes for ending the war immediately. Some of these visitors have gained the private offices of the high govern ment officials to divulge their war re- medies, only to suggest something frenzied, such as putting soap into the sea to impede the progress of subma- rines. Other fanatics are dangerous contemplating the death of some government head as a quick way to end the war.
