Before the United States entered the

during the twelve months amounting
to over half billion. This Is shown
Ia the annual report of Paymaster
General MCGOWAN. Of the navy, just
Issued.
"Throughout the year" says Adrni-
raj MCGOWAN, "a campaign to extend
the list Of satisfactory bidders to
whom the navy schedules might be
sent was continued vigorously. An
integral part OF the campaign to Sc
cure more sources OF supply has been
the effort to get manufacturers to BID

says the report. The average cost Of
the ration for the year was s.ts6, as
compared with s43s last year, although
there was a rise in the average whole
sale prices of provisions Of 13 per
cent Thus a saving OF about s4,5o0

For the fiscal year 1917 the total navy
requirements were approximately L.

day.
Pretty Red Cross girls will preside
at more than 100 Christmas booths
throughout the city during the COM

The superintendents of this work
will be prominent Washington society

usual sense Of that term. They will
merely call the roll.
In this connection, a herculean task
has been performed by Edward B.

diagrams of every square in the city,
and placed on each a close estimate Of
the number Of adults resident there.

In the course of experimentation,
two new gases, as yet unknown in
Europe or Asia, were discovered.
They are more effective than phos-
gene-and more deadly. They were
discovered so recently, according to
the authorities. that there was no time
to utilize them in this war. They have
been locked up in the safe for future

DIPLOMATS AT ODDS
AS TO HUN COLONIES
International Control Starts Debate.
Natives Incapable to Govern.

Suggestion that German colonies
be put under international control is
provoking animated talk in diplomatic
circles. Differences OF opinion were
evident yesterday.
Among British diplomats there is
strong feeling for holding German COL
onies captured during the war.
Let those who took the colonies
keep them," Is the suggestion in one
quarter. Australia, New Zealand, and
British South African colonies are
strongest in the demand that the col
onies be retained, it was stated.
Natives of the former German col
onies are not yet able to govern them
selves, diplomats assert. Germany's s
method of colonization was aimed to
prevent the natives from becoming ed
ucated and prosperous, it is said. 1t
will be years before they can stand
on their own legs politically and eco
nomically. Without manufactures
and exporting only a few staple raw
materials, these colonies must ex-
change with the United States and
the great European powers to exist.

Disposal of poison gas enough to kill
everyone on the American Continent
If properly liberated is puzzling War
Department authorities today. 1t was
announced yesterday by a Chemical
Service official that this gas, for which
the United States paid $50, OO0, 900 and
the lives of several scores of her
chemists, may be thrown into the At
lantic Ocean some time in the near
future.
These thunderbolts intended for the
spring drive are now at Edgewood Ar
senal, IS miles from Baltimore, Nd,
and just on the edge of the Aberdeen
proving ground. The plant, which
sprang up in less than a year, is under
Maj. Gen. William L. Sibert, director
of the Chemical Service section. Thou
sands OF tons OF the gas were made
each month before the signing of the
armistice, at a rate Of ten tons for
every one ton of German gas.
Planned AirpIane Deliveries.
Our idea" said Col W. W. Wal
ker, commanding officer of the Edge
wood Arsenal. was to have contain
ers that would hold a ton of mustard
gas carried over fortresses like Metz
VI SOb4eHz Dy plane ana released
with a time fuse arranged for ex-
plosion several hundred feet above
the forts. The mustard gas being
heavier than air, would slowly settle
until it had dispersed. A one-ton
container could thus be made to ac-
count for perhaps an acre or more
OF territory, and not one living
thing, not even a rat, would live
through it. The planes were made
and successfully demonstrated, the
containers were made and we were
turning out mustard gas in the
requisite quantities in September"
Single Drop Fatal.
In all the thousands of tons of
noxious gases, one drop of which
would kill a man, there is but little
of commercial value. Mustard oil
can not be used in any way. Phos-
gene Is saleable, but only in small
quantities.
The basic elements, according to the
authorities, are salt, sulphur and al
cohol. which, broken into component
parts and chemically reunited, in some
cases by means of heat, in others by
means Of cold, and again by force of
gravity. are caused to form the gases,

orators were built at Edgewood which

ENGINEERS AFFILIATE WITH
A. F. OF L.

/ Perhaps one of the most important
recent news items in labor circles
was the announcement that the
! brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
in convention assembled, at Cleveland,
Ohio, decided by unanimous vote to
affiliate with the American Fedora
tion of Labor. 1t is to be hoped the
action of the Engineers will be fol-
lowed by other large transportation
brotherhoods as soon as possible, thus
bringing to pass something long de-
sired by the organized labor move
ment of this country.
Not only will this action on the
part of the Engineers-and other
transportation brotherhoods, should
pursue the same course-mean an in
crease in the number of workers or
ganiZed under the banner of the
American Federation of Labor, but
the whole American labor movement
will be strengthened and benefited
Undoubtedly the Brotherhood Of
Engineers were influenced in taking
this course by the whole-hearted and
effective support given the trans
portation Brotherhoods during the
very recent controversy with the rail-
roads, which resulted in the enact
ment of the Adamson Law, and the
establishment of the basic EIGHT
HOUR day for transportation en-
ployees on the railroads of the United
States.
Affliation with the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor by the four large
brotherhoods, whose members are en-
gagged in the transportation service,
will result in a cohesive body of
workers whose influence will be felt
in the affairs of the nation, especially
after the war has ended. 1t is gen
orally conceded that, when peace is
restored, labor will occupy the point
of vantage, not only in this country,
but throughout the entire civilizc
world. There will be many problems
to be solved of particular interest to
the workers, and the undivided sur
port of labor organizations will De re-
quired to aid in their solution.
The spirit of organization has
taken a firm hold on the workers of
this country as never before in a" its
history, and through various labor or.
ganizations they are enrolling in the
great army of organized labor, as
represented by the American Fedora
tion of Labor. In this greatAmerican
labor movement there is scarcely room
for more than one paternal body, and
the action of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers will bring the great
est amount Of satisfaction to those
who have endeavored for years to ac-
complish this end.-Mach. Journal.
