25O MILLION FOR
CHEMICAL SERVICE

II the retreating German armies
the American forces well equipped in
a not distant future TO hand them
further surprises they will not like.
Those surprises will include new Of
fensive devices in chemical warfare. a
polite army term for gas, for which
$50. 900, 900 is provided in the $685.
755, ,GGG deficiency appropriation bill
passed by the House late yesterday
afternoon.
For some new offensive devices we
are now developing" was the short
but pointed reply made by Brig. Gen.
Henry c Newcomer, of the chemical
warfare service, when he was asked
by Representative Swager Sherley Of
Kentucky, chairman Of the House Ap-
propriations Committee. what the $3O,
100000, listed under the generic head
OF "other offensive devices" was for.
SherIey did not press for additional
information, for a military secret of
the gravest Importance is involved
which Germany may not be permitted
to learn about until her war-weary
soldiers obtain first-hand knowledge
of it-provided they last that long.
Altogether a quarter Of a billion
dollars is provided in the deficiency
bill for chemical warfare which the
Huns started, and which they are
to have paid back to them in still
stiffer doses than they bargained
for.
or this $3.50. 900 900. there is al
lotted $154,923,557 for the cost OF the
chemicals that go into gas shells
and for the filling of those shells
with such chemicals.

PARIS. Oct. 20.-Prince Radzi-
will and Count Roniker, the Polish
delegates, who went to the Ger
man headquarters last August to
present to him Poland's claims.
were much struck by the mon
arch's depression and indifference,
says the Matin. Emperor william
consented readily to demands, the
Newspaper adds. which ought to
have appeared very excessive to
him.
mot only did he agree to the
creation of an integral and indie
pendent Poland" the Matin con-
tinues, but he let pass without
protest illusions to Posen and
acquiesced when the delegates
spoke to him regarding a sea out
let for Poland at the expense Of
east Prussia.
"As for the Crown Prince, he
confined himself to snickering
and slapping the delegates on the
back, giving them the impression
that he was a most uninteIligent
man. General Ludendorff was the
only person who appeared to re-
alize the situation, but he did not
dare to contradict the Emperor.
He relieved himself by grunting
furiously."

WHEAT MINIMUM
OF S246 SOUGHT

The President will be asked by a
committee of the National Wheat
Growers Association Monday to set
a minimum price of S2.46 a bushel
for the 1919 wheat crop.
In vetoing the agricultural appro-
priation bill. which sought to set
$3.50 as the minimum price for the
1918 crop, the President said he
would appoint a commission to sub
NIT to him a decision on the proper
price to be set for the 1919 crop.
Yesterday the wheat growers who
will meet the President on Monday
drew a brief to be submitted to him
showing the necessity for the ad-
vance.
By allowing the increase, they say,
the cost of living per capita would
not be increased more than 81 a year.
Surely this cannot be regarded as
considering the level of
wages already reached under war
it was added.
Before the war the price of wheat
was approximately double the price
of corn and nine times the cost of
cotton, the brief explained. Today
the price of corn is $1.5O a bushel,
three times the pre-war price, and
of cotton 40 cents, three and a half
times the old price.

American soldiers are to continue
to be amply prepared for the equal
ly important defensive phase Of
chemical warfare. Maj Gen. w. L.
Sibert, OF the Chemical Warfare
Service, said, in his testimony be-
fore the House Appropriations Com
mittee. which has just been made
public. that the largest item in the
total estimate submitted by the SER
vice was for gas masks.
General Sibert figured that the
number OF gas masks required to be
manufactured during the fiscal year,
ending June 30. 1919, was 1921 100.
Every 25,0OO men carry with them
overseas 1000 gas masks" General
Sibert said. That is. we ship that
many masks for each $4,000 We are
required to ship over there each
month 10 per cent. OF that amount to
cover wastage and consumption.
Those are our orders. We are also
required to accumulate in France n
four months supply, that is, a suppIv
that will cover four months OF vast
age and consumption. Every man in
training in the United States Is also
furnished with one new gas mask"
General Sibert figured that a single
gas mask costs SO. I'VE never know
from one day to another what changes
we will have to make in the masks" T"
he said.
Masks for horses don't cost nearly
so much as those for men, he ex-
planned, the purchase price of an
equine mask to protect II from gas
being 5000. About $4,000 900 Is re-
quired for horse masks, 5000, 900 for
signals to warn against the approach
of enemy gas, and $3.50, 900 for fans TO
drive gas out OF a trench.

new YORK OVER TOP

NEW. YORK, Oct. 2o.-With an
eleventh-hour avalanche OF millions of
dollars the second Federal reserve
district, which includes greater New
York. went over the top in the fourth
Liberty loan campaign here last
night. Unofficial estimates indicate
that the grand total for the district
will be far above its quota OF $780,
900 900, when all subscriptions are
finally tabulated.
In the absence OF official figures.
which the Liberty loan committee
will be unable to furnish for several
days, no statement was forthcoming
from headquarters. but tabulations
based on large subscriptions made
public during the day indicated that
the total reached the two billion
mark before nightfalI.

THREE BROTHERS
REUNITED IN WAR

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES
IN FRANCE, Oct. 20.-war has made
the world infinitely smaller, as the
following tale of Remarkable reunions
along the front shows. It is the story
up to date of three brothers, and II
began back in California, where they
were in a college, two years ago.
Several months before America en-
tered the war these brothers were
seized with the desire to come to
France. At that time the big possi-
bility was the volunteer ambulance
service, but owing to financial cir
cumstances but one brother could
come to Europe. Brother No. 1 then
was sent along, the other two think
ing they. might never see him again.
About the time America entered the
war. brothers two and three had the
opportunity to come to France in the
same service, and started for New
York to embark. There brother No.
. Joined the aviation service, and
parted from three, the trio figuring
1t was broken
No. continued to France, where.
by luck, he encountered No. on
permission from the French battle
front. 1t was then both one and
three were transferred into the same
unit. and sent to the Balkans. to
serve with the French army OF the
Orient. They served there until
their unit was recalled, wondering all
the time IL they would ever see No. 2,
the aviator, whom they knew to be
in England somewhere through the
single letter which reached them.
No. . had flown over 100 miles in an
airplane over the weekend from his
aviation school. where he now was
instructor, to the location Of No. 1,
arriving at the same time as three.
Needless to say, they celebrated a
spontaneous and entirely unexpected
reunion, two of them meantime hav-
ing become officers, and the third
being within easy range of bars"

GROCER IS PUNISHED

The sale OF wheat flour without sub
stitutes by the Tripoli Grocery Com
pany. Dellingham. Wash, has caused
the Food Administration to direct all
licensees to discontine shipments to
this concern until November II. The
Tripoli company also is charged with
having shipped wheat flour labeled as
barley flour.
The concern, which operates a retail
store doing a business OF 100000 a
year, is not licensed by the Food Ad-
ministration and does not come di-
rectly under its control.

WIRELESS ON AERO
VITAL TO FLYERS

The use of wireless on airplanes,
seaplanes, bombing planes, and other
flying warcraft has been of tremen-
dous value, both in the determination
of the submarine and the operations
OF the allied armies in France.
Officials have been very unwilling
to speak, up to this time. of the func-
tions of the planes of all kinds in
this war. They did not even wish the
fact of wireless on airplanes TO be-
come public, but no objection is
made now, evidently because the an
nouncement could now be of no pos
sible value to the enemy.
Relays News Through Air.
One of the first actual results, naval
officers said. achieved by the use of
wireless was keeping the subma-
rine under water for longer and, per-
haps. fatal periods. as compared
with the early part of the war. Great
numbers Of airplanes and hydra-air-
planes now are used by the allies
and Americans from ships and from
bases, OF which there are many on
the coasts of France and England.
The planes use an identical code.
lHeg 10 report 10 lne
home base anything suspicious, and
they communicate any important
news to each other.
II was stated that so numerous is
the aggregation OF planes used for
naval anti-submarine purposes that
il has been found that the powers
OF the wireless on the aircraft need
not exceed fifty miles. The sighting
of a submarine which ventures above
water anywhere near the French or
to be flashed from plane to plane
enemy has been notified and gets
under way.
Correct the Range.
The fact that warships have re-
sponded in almost every case where
an attack has been made by a sub
marine is the physical proof of the
immense value OF the wireless outfit
on the flying craft
In the army operationS. the planes,
apart from their value as bombing
air artillery, are used for "spotting"
jsut as they are used for bomb
ing, spotting and reporting in the
navy. The plaincipal use Of the nom
bombing plane which is equipped
with wireless is in respect to artillery.
The wireless-equipped planes, for
instance, can note the fall OF shells
from extraordinary heights when the
allies are attacking, and send to the
commander Corrections" as
to range and the angle Of fire either
to the right or left.

ATLANTA "OVER TOP"

ATLANTA. Ga, Oct. 2O.-Atlanta
has over-scbscribed her quota-S14,- :
19O.O0O-for the fourth Liberty loan
by more than a million dollars.
The loan workers continued their
efforts today and expected to obtain
another million in subscriptions.
The prospects for the sixth Federal
reserve district going over the top
are bright, district headquarters offi-
cials announced. Approximately $780,
100000 of the districts quota OF
S192. 100000 has been subscribed.
The Washington times., 1918-10-20
DITRICT LOAN TOTAL,
WELL OVER QUOTA, MAY
REACH $32, 900, 900 MARX

With eager subscribers storming
every bank in the city. and hundreds
OF volunteer bond statesmen swamped
with applications, washington's cam
paign for the fourth Liberty loan
swept the National Capital into an
honored position last night with a
heavy oversubscription OF its quota,
$27, COS, 900.
Conservative estimates place the
total subscription here at not less
than $50. 900 900, and many campaign
leaders believe these figures will be
exceeded by several additional mil
lions.
The District committee last night
was unable to give more than a rough
estimate OF the sum realized from
bond sales. Teams of speakers and
statesmen were at work until the early
morning hours, adding to the impress
stve total already reached.
A last-minute drive at the pricIpal
market aUded thousands OF dollars to
the Districts sales. Ready response
greeted the efforts OF statesmen at the
markets, and hundreds OF house.
holders carried home a bond along
with their other purchases.
Banks Are Crowded.
Every bank in the city was open
until a late hour, endeavoring to ac-
commodate the crowds. Several of
the banks found It necessary to close
their doors for short intervals until
the throngs already inside the build
ings could be waited on.
The scenes that marked the close Of
the Fighting Fourth" drive were
without parellel in the history of
this city.
Wherever a group OF statesmen set
up shop, a throng Of eager buyers
quickly formed. Runners were kept
busy rushing with money from
headquarters to make change for pur-
chasers. A large force of tabuIators
at the central office Of the District
Liberty Loan Committee was unable
to keep pace with the returns, for
reports were being received at the
rate of two a minute.
SSyOOO.OOO More for Navy.
After announcing a total OF $32,-
100000 in sales up to yesterday noon.
the navy reported another $4,000, 900
last night This latter sum will be
added to the total for the District
and will make this city's subscription
the largest ever secured.
All records for the total number of
individual subscribers likewise went
by the board. At the time of the
third loan campaign, approximately
1876, 900 Washingtonians became bond
buyers. In the present drive, incOm-
plete returns show purchasers in ex-
cess of the third campaign, and OFF,
cials believe there will be bonds in
the hands of at least 175y000 District
citizens when the figures are all tab
ulated.
