ORIGIN OF TEAR GAS"
War Weapon Used by Allies Devised
by DR.. R. W. Wood.

BALTIMORE, Nd, May THE lach-
rymose or tear gas used by the allies Is
the invention of DR.. Robert w. Wood,
professor of experimental physics at
Johns Hopkins University. Prof. Wood
sent the formula for it to a friend. Prof.
Cotton in Paris and IL was turned over
to the French wt.r department. Dr.
Wood is a member of the naval consult-
ing boards submarine subcommittee.
1t is gas that has powerful infiu-
ence on the eyes. The minutest par
ticle in the air closes the eve and
starts the tears. Prof. Woods plan
was TO have it used in one big drive
and overwhelm the enemy and its use
as designed by him might have meant
a shortening of the war. He planned
not only to overwhelm the first line
trenches. but all the supporting lines
and artillery as we'll
II sent the formula to Prof Cotton"
said Dr. Wood. with the idea of break
ing the trench deadlock. The gas is
benzyl-bromide or chloracetone yapor.
1t produces temporary blindness but
has no permanent injury and it does
not violate The Hague conventions. The
blindness disappears when the vapor
is exhausted hut when a man can't see
he can't shoot" .--..<zME2

FOOD RIOTING IN SWEDEN.
Women Form Mobs When Told Po-
tato Supply Is Exhausted.

STOCKHOLM. May 6. via London,
May Women who stood in line to
buy potatoes in the southern part of
Stockholm yesterday became unruly
when informed that the stock was ex-
hausted and began a demonstration
which assumed proportions that kept
the police busy until after midnight.
Several policemen were injured by
stones thrown and a number of ths
rioters received scalp wounds from the
police sabers. Sixteen arrests Were
made.
Serious rioting also occurred in
Gothenburg. 1t was begun by buyers
who demanded bread from the bakers
without presenting bread cards. when
they were refused supplies they began
taking bread by force, often without
paying for it. This procedure was
eventually extended to the butcher
shops, which were plundered until
troop of hussars was summoned.
Hunger demonstrations occurred at
Norrkoeping on both Friday and Satur-
day Butcher shops there were plum
dered, chiefly by factory girls. many OF
whom were arrested.

COUPLES
STAGE DOUBLE ELOPEMENT
Miss Darlington Now Mrs. Hughes
and Miss West Now Mrs. Dent.
Weddings in Baltimore.

A double elopment was staged Satur-
day by two Washington couples. their
marriages taking place in Baltimore.
Now Miss Gladys Lucille Darlington,
daughter of Mrs. Bertha Pardew, is
Mrs Hughes, wife of Bugler Archie
laus Adolph Hughes of Company X, Sd
Infantry, N G. D. c., and Miss Audrey
West is Mrs. Dent, wife of William
Dent, of this city. This is how it all
happened:
Saturday morning Dent called up
regimental headquarters at Fort Myer,
Va, and said Hughes mother was i'll,
and in this way the bugler obtained
permission to leave camp. He came
TO his home in the city, changed
from his uniform into his civilian
clothes, joined Dent at the Union sta
ton and soon was on his way to Balti-
more. The two girls were to meet
them later in the day.
But it happened that the guard
authorities at Fort Myer learned that
Hughes mother was. not ill, and they
let ii be known that unless he return
ed in a short time he was likely to
face Il court-martial. When this news
reached the girls they became terror
stricken. They Immediately set out for
Baltimore several hours ahead of time
in search of their husbands -to-be.
BY rare piece of luck they located
them after two hours of wandering.
Rev. John Strong of the Eutaw Place
Baptist Church performed the cere-
mony, and soon both couples were on
the way home again. Hughes i'm
mediately hurried out to Fort Myer.
He viii not have to face q court mar
tial Parents and army officers alike
Joined in forgiving all the participants
IN the double elopment.

From STAFF Correspondent of the Associated Press.
WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, May s, via London. May T.
While the fighting for the last fort
night has wrought comparatively lit
tie change geographically along the
British front. it has, as matter of
fact, been of almost as great impor-
tance gas any during the entire war
1t has compelled the Germans to throw
in such vast numbers of reserves that
comparatively few of the fifty or more
fresh divisions assigned to the western
front this year by Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg remain unscorched by the
flames of the French and British Of
fensive battles. In view of this 1t is
small wonder that the press reports
from Petrograd assert that German
divisions have been WITHDRAWN from
the Russian front and started for
France.
There is no denying that since the
British Easter Monday offensive took
them by surprise and drove them from
some of their most formidable posi-
tions, the Germans have fought with
great tenacity and stubborness, but at
what cost they alone can correctly
reckon. They have endeavored to meet
the entente allied superiority in artil-
lery by sheer weight of men, which has
meant a material deepening of their
fortified zone.
