All the developments here briefly
sketched indicate that the German peo-
pie by no means feel they are defeated.
That fact has. Of course, an impor-

1T not only determines the attitude of
the German people toward the subject
OF peace, but it also colors the light
in which they read every new English,

of war aims and peace conditions.

That Is the kind of writing that is
served out to the specifically CONNER
ciai classes; but it gives the core of
German feeling generally. Not that
there are no pessimists in Germany; on
the contrary, I met men before l quit
Germany February, 1910 who would
admit that Germany could not win a
decisive victory, that only compro-
mise peace could be hoped for; and
Socialist speakers have repeatedly said
the same thing in the Reichstag. In
deed, it may be claimed that the adop-
ton by the Reichstag, July 10, 1917, Of
resolution favoring a peace without
annexations or indemnities presup-
posed the impossibility Of forcing a
military decision. That resolution,
passed by very large majority, I'M
doubtedly expressed the general feel
ing of the country; it registered the
abandonment by the German people Of
any plans Of conquest that may have
led them into the war-their abandon

mood of resignation? That is doubtful;

My Dearest Mother:

You.
am we'll and in good spirits as
usual. | hope this will find you
feeling the same. ! was sorry to
hear that Laura's baby is dead, but
we have all got to die some time;
and | have seen the time when |
thought that ! was "short-timer," 1"
but am still living. You can Judge
for Yourself by what you see in the
papers as to what is going on, and
that we are not here for our health
You were right when YOU said the
Americans are better than the Ger
mans, for the Americans are as good
as the best-if not better. ''And
what it takes to win this war we
happen to have" Of course, the
Germans are good fighters, but they
are not good enough to win this war.
About the surprise: There is
nothing to it-only rumors that
some "rattler" started. The thing
for you to do is to stay in good
spirits and worry about nothing. If
come back, all right; If don't,
why, all right; you'll get my insur-
ance, and that will be worth more
than I ever was. But feel lucky!
I sure did have hot time on my
birthday. I never thought about It
until two or three days later. I'll
tell you how I celebrated some day
perhaps.
Well, have written all l know,
and some besides, so guess I will
close for this time.
Lots Of love and all good wishes.

During the German assault upon
Armentieres recently, strange and
ghastly phenomenon was Witnessed
Many Of the shells which fell in the
town were seemingly OF very fragile
construction. They scarcely dented
the ground where they burst They
injured very few people with flying
PARTICLES They did not contain
cyanogen gas or chlorine. There was
slight incenselike odor, but this
was attributed to Il peculiar and i'm
potent powder the Huns were SUP
posed to have been forced into using.
There seemed to be no reason for the
shells.
Six hours later the CHASTITY truth
began to make itself known. Sol
diers, male citizens, women and chill
drcn began to collapse by the score
Many fell in commissions. Some went
stark, raving mad. The whole com.
munity was poisoned by
some new and terrible agent that
even the German archfiends had not
dreamed OF using before.
For nearlm week the terrible gas
did its work, although the shell at
tacks ceased abruptly on the first
day. Four thousand individuals died
in agony greater than even the fear
ed chlorine ever had caused
The agent employed was arsine,
known in the laboratory as arseniu-
reted hydrogen, one of the deadliest
Of all fumes known to the chemist
beside which hydrogen cyanide and
carbon monoXide may be trifled with
in comparative safety.
This fume fury can be made quick
~, easily and in immense quantities,
merely by treating any arsenical ore
with hydrochloric acid. Made for
demonstration purposes, where the
pure gas Is desired, the method is to
mix arsenic with zinc shavings, and
to- pour over the receptacle hydro
chloric acid. The chlorine combines

is formed.
The allies will feel a natural re-
luctance to use this weapon, just as
they felt natural reluctance to ad-
opt the Germans chlorine, sulphur
dioxide and "Flammenwerfer" at
tacks. These fall outside the pale of
civilized warfare, in the same class
with well-poisoning. No nation

should adopt such tactics, but this
war has crossed the boundaries of all
civilized precept. The allies only
chance is to match the "Schrecklich-
keit' Of the Hun with still greater
awtulneSs. If this can be accom-
plished with the Germans own wea-
pons, SO much the better.
The arsine bomb is the most dead
~ weapon the world has develoDed.
Thrown from an aeroplane, or pro-
jected from high-calibre howitZer
or rife, the gas spreads slowly upon
striking. The gas Is invisible, and SO
heavy that no wind short Of a hurr-
cane can dispel it sufficiently to make
it harmless. 1t is known as a
'creeper is, it follows the
hoilows Of the ground, and progresses
by inches. For this reason it's pres
cnce is apt to be unsuspected. and it
may take a week to complete its
deadly work.
One whiff--and it does not have to
tain death. There is no remedy or
antidote known to medical or chami-
cal science. The effects are in some
respects much the same as ordinary
arsenic pOiSoning-the suffering
which ensues upon accidental eating
OF rat poison is an example Of this
but in addition, the gas attacks the
big nerve centers in a totally differ
ent manner, causing alteration and
convulsion, and death in half hour
or so, after the first symptoms are
noticed.
The Germans made another vital
mistake in revealing this terrible
weapon. the arsine bomb, to the al
lies, for these nations most assuredly
never would have thought of using
1t Otherwise. The mistake lies in the
fact that while the Germans foisted
this CHASTITY reality upon modern war;
fare, they have not the arsenic to
pursue the course they have elected.
They can employ this agent very sell
dom, making a hideous threat now
and then, but not carrying it into
campaign such as they have done
with the Flammenwerfer, or liquid
fire,
The allies, on the other hand, have
supplies Of arsenic ore which are un-
limited, so far as the possible needs
of this conflict are concerned. They
could manufacture in one year more
every man, woman and child in the
whole of Germany and Austria-Hun-
gary. An airplane can carry suffi-
cient number Of glass-bottle bombs,
