PLANNED TO oVERWAELM
 GERMANS WITH MUSTARD GAS

Washington Dec. 13.-Wl1en hostil- ities ceased the American army. was being prepared and equipped to hurl ten tons of mustard gas into the Ger man forces for every ton tue Germans could deliver, Major General William L. Sibert, director. of tiie chemical warfare service, said tonight at din- ner given in his honor. On the day . that. the arInistice was signed. he said. plans for the manufacture of the standard gases were in operation with a manufacturing capacity greater than that of England and France combin- ed.. This capacity would have been trebled in the case of certain gases before the beginning of tie new year.
 General Sibert revealed the fact that his department had perfected a new type of gas mask for the defense of the American army which was far su- perior in. every respect to any mask used by either the enemy or the al- lied forces. He, added that 400 000 of these masks had been produced when the war ened
 Speaking of the work ore to equip the army with gas shells and new and more terrible poisonous vapors, Col. w. H. Walker, in charge Of produc- tion, said that the great plant at Edgewood, Maryland, was the most deadly institution since time began.'' While he gave no figures, he sldicat- eds that casualties among the enlisted men who handled these deadly pro- ducts at the plant would be hard to match on the battle front" @

WARsHIPs TO BE TURNED
 BACK TO TRADE ROUTES

New York, Dec. 13.--The statement made today in Washington that the war department is to turn back to tade routes 0.000 deadwe;ght capaci- ty tons of ships, was viewed in ship ping circles here as one of the most important readjustment announce ments that has been made since the signing Of the armistice Representa- tions made recently to Washington by the chamber of commerce here, show ed that more than 170,00D tons of ex- port freight was now tied up in New York alone and that, unless early re- lief from the shortage of tonnage was granted, manufacturers and exports would fave heavy losses.
 The understanding here is that the ships designated for trade purposes will not be returned directly tos the owners but will he turned back by the war department to the United States shipping board, and by that body al- lotted to various trades, principal among which will be South and Gen. tral American commerce. The proce- dure to be followed will be the reverse of the action taken in October, 1917, when all American ships over 25e9 tons were requisitioned by the ship ping board. and then assigned by that body to the war and navy departments, Belgian relief, Red Cross and the al- lied governments. It is also understood that the S00,000 tons now designated will soon be increased to over f,000.- 900 tons. Among the ships believed to be under consideration for release are
 some of the Dutch steamers requisf- toned last year and now under war and navy department control.

She was preceded into port by tbe mail boat Oregonian, carrying a solitary doughboy, Sergeant Leland A.

 Both vessels were given the warm est of greetings, being met at quar- antine by the mayors official commit tee of welcome and escorted to the docks amdi the footing of harbor whistles. New York, however, is pre- pairing an even noisier celebration next Sunday when the Leviathan, the giant transport, formerly the Vaterland, will bring home 5000 sailors who have seen active duty or American craft in for eign waters. This will be the largest number of veterans to arr've here in one contingent.
 It took the De Kalb eleven days to make the trip and according to hel commander, Captain E. H. Dodd, U S., N.. it was the roughtest crossing he had ever made. For four days and 8 ! half, he said, the navigator hardly knew what course he was running, fol during that period the sur, moon an6 stars werce obscured.

PRESIDENTS NAVAL ESCORT
 AN INSPIRING SPECTACLE

On Board the U. s. s. George Wash ington, Dec. 13-cBy The A. P0- The American battleship division join ed President Wilson's ship at five O. clock this morning, providing one Of the few naval spectacles i'll many months. The vessels nfanoeuVered with lights and the sight was an in- spring one
 Long before daylight the batt1eship Pennsylvania, leading the presidential convoy, picked up by wireless the ves- sels approaching from the north. The night was partly cloudy with the moon visible now and then. Suddenly the Pennsylvania got series of rapid signals from g. destroyer, lowering off on the skyline, and began signalling. With searchl;ght pointing a long il- luminated finger into the sky, she wrote a message in flashes on the big black clouds. In a few seconds, the answer, written on the sky by a bat tleship away over the horizon, be- gan to come back.
 Then the toplights of the fleet came over the curve one by one and stood by the presidents ship, which pro- ceeded on her way until daylight when all the ships in the convoy spread out and fell into their appointed places on the right of the line of formation.
 The battleship Pennsylvania was at the head of the center column, having on either side line of destroyers, then line of four battleshij,s, then a line of destroyers on the extreme out side. The battleship Wyoming with Vice Admiral Sims on board headed the line on the left, followed by the Utah. the Oklahoma, the Nevada and the Arizona in that order The line on the right was headed by the New York, followed by the Texas, the Ar kansas and the Florida
 At eleven o'clock a French feet be- , gan to come up from the south. Thert were twelve cruisers steaming in onf | column. The French warshIps fired z | salute slowly as the George Washing, ! ton approached to the leeward anC pucs of black smoke could be seen al
 along the line but only few report. were heard. The American battleship: moved ahead to make room for thu French escort
 A big hydroairplane then appeared | from the direction of Brest. It circlet and dipped oyer the fleet as it .ex- 1 changed signals with the flagship Later big French dirigible foatet by, flying the American colors. When the French warships had talk. en their places more than forty yes | sells were steaming in the line of col umns, the formation reaching. botl ways as far as the eye could see. President Wilson and the member
 of his party stood on the bridge 0
 the George Washington to witness tn
 naval spectacle.
