Berlin, Tuesday, Dec. 1.-The sec ond days session of the Congress of the Soldiers and Workmen's Councils of Germany was marked by stormy scenes. Herr Landsberg, one of the majority Socialist members of the government, denounced the business methods and dictatorial attitude of the Soldiers and Workmen's Council of Berlin. He declared the executive committee of thee ouncil had present. ed a chaotic budget statement.
 The manner in which thee ongress received the statements of Commis- sioner Landsberg indicated that a new executive committee, more in har- mony with the government, might be elected.
 Premier Ebert after spirited de- fense of the governments policy con- corning demobiIization and food sup ply, which had been attacked by Herr Earth, one of the radical Socialist members of the government, was cheered loudly.

Saved Ship From Destruction.

Capturing a runaway bomb on the
deck of a ship during a terrific gale,
a United States navy man ~heroically
held on to several hundred pounds of
high explosive until it was got to safe
ty. This man of iron nerve is John
Mackenzie of the naval reserve, who
Is serving as a chief boatsWain's mate
on the q. S. S. Remlits, a converted
yacht now on patrol service in Euro
pean waters. For this extraordinary
heroism Mackenzie has been awarded
a medal of honor and given a gratuity
of 800. In the midst of a storm a
depth charge. such as have proved so
disastrous to German submarines,
broke loose and went rolling about the
decks. Realizing the danger, Macken-
zie shouted out, an get her!" and
flung himself upon the charging cylin-
der. Three times he was thrown from
the bomb. The fourth time he got /
and, heaving the charge upright, sa
on 1t and held it down. Here he re-
NAMED until lines were placed around
the bomb. Had the charge exploded
1t would have blown the ship to pieces.
Mackenzie is a native Of Massachu-
sets and his mother, Mrs. Mackenzie,
resides at South Hadley Falls, Mass.
After serving four years in the regu-
lar navy he returned to service in the
fleet naval reserve.

VICTIMS OF HUN BRUTALITY
How Allied Soldiers Suffered When
They First Experienced the Hor.
rors of kaiser's Poison Gas.

Suddenly a great cry rang out:
1.-THE gas !"
1t was true. Over there from the
enemy's lines, came great greenish
balls, rolling close to the earth, rolling
deliberately yet swiftly, rolling
straight toward us, Emmanuel Bour-
cier writes in Scribner's. Gas! That
horrible thing, still almost unknown,
which had been used for the first time
only recently on the User. 1t was
coming with deadly surety amidst a
tprnh61 of artillery. Orders were
shouted back and forth:
'The gas! Put on the masks! 7"
Each man spread over his face the
protecting cloth. The shelters were
closed. The telephone, whose wires
ran the length of the communication
trenches, gave the warning: Look
out! The gas!"
We did not yet know what manner
of horror it was. None of us had ex-
perienced an attack of the sort. We
ran to and fro like ants whose hill
has been molested. Some fired their
guns at random, others awaited or
ders. The frightful, vivid thing came
on, expanded to a cloud, crept upon
us, glided into the trenches. The air
was quickly obscure. We were SWIM
ming in an atmosphere stained a
venomous color, uncanny, ~indescrib-
able. The sky appeared greenish, the
earth disappeared. The men staggered
about and rolled on the ground, stiied.
There were some knots of soldiers
who had been asleep in their beds
when overtaken by the gas. They
writhed in commissions, with vitals
burning, with froth on the lips, call
ing for their mothers or cursing the
Germans. We gathered them up as
best we could; we took them to the
doctors, who, thus confronted by an
unknown condition, found themselves
powerless. They tried the applica-
ton of oxygen and ether in an effort
to save the lives Of the victims, only
to see them die, already decomposed,
In their hands.
The masks had not yet been perfect
ed and were a poor protection. Some
ran about like madmen, shrieking in
terror, the throat choked with saliva,
and fell in heaps, in c~ontortions of
agony. Some filled the mouth with
handfuls of grass and struggled
against asphyxiation.

AT the closing exercises of the In
fantry Division of the Central Officers
Training School at Camp Pike, Little
Rock, Ark, one hundred and seven
colored men, representing nearly every
state in the Union, received commits
sions as second ~lieutenants. Capt.
Garrison, the instructor in charge of
the school, said that the young men
had exceeded all expectations and had
met conditions as they were in almost
cheerful and confident manner and
that they had mounted the military
ladder of training round by round,
showing a degree of proficieny that
compared most favorably with their
fellows. Their conduct in camp and
city was most praiseworthy. They
came from all walks of life, from col
lege down.
