chemical warfare very soon had re- course to the hurling of shells loaded either with a deadly poison or with irritants for the eyes and all exposed mucous membranes
 It is estimated that on the western front every fifth shell now fired is loaded with chemicals, which are held in much greater fear by the men in the trenches than shrapnel or bomb. Most dreaded of all however, is the last form of chemical attack, the at tack by liquid fire, against which there is no defense except speedy flight or retirement and the species of de- fense which lies in the fact that at tackers in flame warfare are usually easily detected and rapidly picked off,

The part which chemistry has in the battle line itself is perhaps the most interesting and absorbing chapter in the history of the war so far as it is being written by chemists; it is also the most horrifying and depressing, and for very obvious reasons it can be written in detail only after the war is over. When Germany let go the first wave of poison gas in contrayention of all international agreements, it is said that the British general in command wired to London that if relief were

Bob Cat Fascinates
INV. kindergarten Tots

Bozeman. Mont. Feb. 5.-"Oh-h-h,
see the great big pussy cat!"
1t was a little ~4-year-old in the
kindergarten conducted by Miss Nc
Leod on Central avenue, just a block
from Main street, that uttered the de-
lighted exclamation followed by a
chorus from forty other little tots as
they saw a monster bob cat standing
on a little rise III the ground just Il
few feet away from their playground
yesterday.
The two young teachers
didn't. utter any such EXPLANATIONS of
delight. however. for they realized the
danger and with difficulty they
marched the reluctant children away
from their great big pussy and into
the kindergarten just as the big cat
gave a. spring V into the play
ground where tho babes had been
playing a moment before.
Telephone messages were sent at
once to the College of Montana au-
tl1orities as it was supposed that Sig.
Ia big bob cat recently secured by the
Sigma Chi fraternity. had escaped
from his cage. Sig, however. was in
his accustomed place and Thu police
were summoned and a bullet quickly
put the bob cat out of commission.
1t is supposed it came in from the
canyons of h Yellowstone or Gala
tin during the night and made it's way
to the center of the city under cover
of darkness without being discovered.

Helena, Mont. Feb. 5.-The chief
item of interest developing in regard
to the special session of the Montana
assembly. called for Thursday, Feb
ruary IA. by Governor S. V. Stewart,
lies in the discovery that the expenses
Of the session may be moro than paid

amounts of which are in different
conditions, but efforts will be made to
have all the money placed III the gem

Attention was attracted to these
various amounts Monday when Thos.
Helm of the state examiners office,
discovered over $4,000 of the Pome-
o estate money in the school funds,
which should properly be placed at
this time in the general fund.
With this sum of money-$42, 900
available the legislature could stay in

Says Ambassador Sharp

The message which 1 would send to

ginning of q year destined to be the
most momentots in results in the

try's own future welfare. but for the
stability and security of human gov
eminent among the nations of the
earth, it is imperative that the ma
terial and moral forces OF America
should be directed in an: absolute
unity OF action.
All the allied governments as we'll
as those Of the neutrals are looking to
us to lead the way in war as In the
peace to follow. The part which the
United States should play and is ex-
pected to play in the worlds terrible
crisis is a large and commanding one;
it will be great and benefcient only
in the proportion that it reflects the
degree Of united purpose Of the
American people.
Seeking for many months to avert
the sacrifices of war for ourselves,
indeed. to bring about peace among
the battling nations-at the end Of in
finite patience, our government was
forced into the conflict through the
wilful and arrogant violation Of our
rights. 1t had long been r1enaced by
constant evidence of insidtous in
trigues against our national solidari-
ty. No other course was left for an
independent and self-respecting peo-
pie. whether dictated merely, by a
sense Of MISREPRESENTATION or the more
noble and generous call for contrib
uting our aid to the cause of world
wide freedom, and humanity. Both
are threatened today by an enemy
which recognizes neither.
I know Of no higher honor or title
than to he an American citizen. The
inestimahle benefits Of such a. privi-

Vaschon of Waterville Saturday
forenoon in the superior court, charg-
ed with the larceny of money to the
amount of s34 from the person of
Cleopus Giguere of Waterville on
March AZ.
An unusual feature of the case was
the absence of the complainant who
testified in the lower court. Coun-
ty Attorney Fisher stated that the
sheriff's department had made a dill
gent search for Giguere but had been
unable to locate him. Vaschon had
pleaded guilty in the Waterville mu-
nicipal court when charged with the
theft, but at his trial Saturday testi-
fed that he made the confession
without fully understanding the ma
ture Of the charge against him. He
and other witnesses testified that at

SO intoxicated as not to be able to
know what was taking mace. John

Gideon Maheu, a police officer of
Waterville, testified that he made the
arrest but had no talk with Vaschon
concerning the alleged crime until
