Chemists May
Win War
Seek Poison Gas That WIN De-
stoy Whole Armies.

American chemists working on the
poison gas problem may bring the war
to victorious close for the allies in
their laboratories.
They are working hard, together
with British chemists, to find a color
less, odorless and invisible gas, which,
sweeping over a sleeping army, would
destroy it.
The Germans are also working to
find such gas. Whichever side finds
it first will win the war, declares a
Washington writer.
The "Gas SHELF is not necessarily a
shell. 1t may contain liquid or even
a solid, and it opens up the whole
sphere of organic chemistry to be
drawn upon for materials.
In every German drive this year
there has been a gas strategy. Full
dress rehearsals in gas maneuvers to
meet every possible situation were
held by the Germans before an attack.
In the March drive captured maps
show the Germans had worked out a
zoning system over allied territory.
Some zones were drenched with gas
and others left untouched. The Ger
man attacking troops were supplied
with maps to indicate the safety zones
through which they might pass with.
out harm.
Some zones were subjected to ephe-
neral gases which evaporated before
the arrival of the oncoming Germans.
Other areas were bombarded with sew.
eral hundred thousand shells, the gas
from which fingered for hours. On one
seven-mile sector the Germans dis.
charged 125,000 12-pound shells in one
day.
The 'front.' is not the solid line il
looks to be on the maps. 1t is series
of strongly-held posts, often hills. The
Germans use gas shells against these
strongholds, attempt to drive the de-
tenders from them and to pass through
the safety zones between.

PATRIOTISM AND PER CENT
Interest Rate on Fourth Liberty Loan
Fixed at 414 Per Cent.

Secretary McAdoo has definitely
announced that the Fourth Liberty
Loan bonds will bear ~ per cent
interest.
The Secretary has been insistent
that the Government interest rate
should be stabilized at AZ per cent.
He points out that a raise in the rate
of interest of only one-fourth of ! per
cent on $40. 1000, 900 Of Government
bonds would mean an annual increase
of $25, 100000 in interest charges, and
that this money would have to be
raised by increased taxation and paid
by the people of the country. It
would not be paid by one class only,
because there are consumption as
well as other kinds of taxes, and the
consumption taxes reach every class
Of people.
"As an intelligent people," said Sec
rotary McAdoo during the Third Lib
erty Loan campaign. I'VE should now
make stand for the financing of our
Government during the period Of this
war at a stabilized rate Of interest,
say at ~ per cent per annum. SO
that all business and all investments
may be adjusted to that basis, and
so that we ourselves may protect our
selves against successfully increased
rates of interest on Government
loans"

THE SALVATION OF THE WORLD
DEPENDS ON THE ARMY OF
100000 THAT UNCLE SAM
Is RAISING.
TO TAKE FLOWER OF AMERICA
Billions of Money Required to Prop
erly Equip and Care for the
Forces That Are Fighting
Your Battles.

Uncle Sam is rapidly preparing for
an increase of his fighting forces to
an aggregate strength of 100000
men. This was the figure agreed
upon in the Paris conference of sew
eral months ago as necessary to a
speedy allied control of the situation
and eventual victory for allied arms.
America alone could produce the
men.
France already has put practically
every available man in the ranks.
England has drawn upon her man
power to a point that is beginning to
make itself felt in the production of
war munitions. Belgium has all of
her little remnant of population lined
I'D along the front almost to a man.
And Italy has all she can do to care
for herself.
This five million will represent the
flower of Americas fighting material.
Upon it will depend to no small
degree the ultimate issue of the war.
To it all Europe will be looking in
eager expectation from the moment
it takes the field aggressively. 1t is
expected to be the straw that will
break the Prussian cameps back.
We must do our full duty by that
five million in the next loan.
And in doing this we must not over.
look this fact. In its ranks will be
thousands and thousands of boys who
are now at home. Some of these will
be from our own firesides. They will
| be our boys IN literal truth. No long
er will that army be an impersonal
unit. 1t will be made up largely OF
| our own flesh and hood.
Every time you buy bond you will
be lending to your own. For few
households will escape the combins
process of the next draft.
Don't forget this. The Fourth Lib
| erty Loan campaign opens Sept. %
Your country and your sons need
your help.
If you have a son eligible for serv
ice, look him over before you de
eide upon the amount of your pur
chase.
You'd give a good deal more thar
will be asked of you to have him
safely back.
And the better prepared that army
is the sooner it will finish its work
the less danger he will be subjected
to; the quicker he will return.
Do your part by that five million
and your boy.
Get ready to do it early.

their clubs to take positions in the
Steel league and to play with ship
building concerns.
He says the move displays lack of
patriotism and is not helping the
sport, inasmuch as the people who sup
port the game do not think highly of
these men.
"Ball players who are in the draft
and jump their clubs to go to work in
the steel and shipbuilding leagues are
not doing baseball bit Of good" said
Maranville. "They also are not help
ing Uncle Sam. They are not skilled
enough to be Of much use in those con.

Toad in the Garden Destroys
Many Insects During the Day

The toad is useful because of its
diet. No less than SO species of in
sects. mostly injurious, have been
proved to enter into its dietary. In
his "Civic Biology" George w. Hunter
says: A toad has been observed to
snap up 12s flies in half an hour. Thus
at low estimate it could easily de-
stroy a thousand insects during day
and do an immense service to the gar
den during the summer. It has been
estimated by Kirkland that a single
toad may, on account Of the cutworms
which it kills, be worth $19.SS each
season It lives, If the damage done by
each cutworm be estimated at only
one cent. Toads also feed upon slugs
and other garden pests.-Popular

TORONTO POLICE OUT ON
STRIKE, CITY RESISTS
EFFORT TO NEGOTIATE

international News Service
TORONTO, Ont, Dec. 1e.-With
practically every man on the police
force below the rank Of patrol SER
geant on strike and the acting de-
tectives ready to walk out, Toronto
IS undergoing the unique experience
Of a police strike. But for the con-
fusion caused by the absence Of the
traffic squad from duty. the general
public would not know that the city
was not policed. The men have be-
haved admirably and, assured OF
sympathy from organized labor and
Of the various veterans societies, feel
confident that they will win out.
Failing 20 secure any satisfaction
from the police commissioners and
with the door closed in their face,
the men yesterday sett representa-
tives to Atty. Gen. Lucas in an eff
fort TO have the strike settled. IL
looks now as If the men, before TAX
ing any further steps which might
include calling out the firemen and
street railwaymen, want TO make a
final attempt 20 reach a settlement
by way OF negotiation. Should there
be no results in this direction II
would completely tie up the whole
city and force a settlement within
few hours. Today should see things
brought 20 a head-the mems de-
mands accepted or a strike OF othcc
bodies ordered.
