cial frauds.
 That such efforts are needed is pretty well demonstrated when it is shown that. one-fourth of the annual losses caused by bad debts, amounting to $5a.000,00o a year, is due to the gangs of business crooks operating throughout the country. A good start has apparently been made toward bringing such people to justice by the securing of indictments against 1S such operators, and in view of the large proportion of bad debts attrib- uted to such swindlers there is every reason for applying the punishment as quickly as possible not only for the relief that should be obtained but for the benefit which 1t will have upon others who may have been attracted by just such underhanded business.
 investigation has firmly Established the belief that many crooks have seen the opportunity which is furnished through the extension of credit to get goods in that manner for which they never intend to pay. They are able to reap a rich harvest from such opera tions because they can find enough others wh6 will dispose of the goods. It is therefore high time that they were rounded up and made to pay for their crooked work.

carved choir-sta1ls, the gorgeous altar seen faintlU beyond 1.-the sublime spse, with its inimitably slim laneets, carrying the eye up, higher and higher, through the dark triforium gallery, through the blaze of the crimson cierestorey, to the solemn grandeur of the vaulted roof, lights and carving, and jewels and gold. and the sunny brightness of the nave, and the sol emn greyness of the choir,-these all are but accessories of the scene. The huge nave piers rise from the midst of a mighty multitude, the high-born lady, the peasant mother with her infant, the grey headed la bourer, the gay bourgaoisie,- the child that knows only the sanctity of the place the strong man and the cripple,-the wise and the unlearned, -the great man and the small,-the rich and the poor,-au meet as equals
 That scene is gone forever for Amiens. Her noble and ancient place of worship is a shattered, smoldering ruin; her devout multitude is scat tered-homeless and helpless. The spirit of Amiens alone survives

STORIES OF THE WAR
Gas Warfare.

Correspondence of The Associated
 Press): Gas warfare has developed to al very considerable extent since it's first
 use as a surprise weapon by the Ger mans at the second battle of Ypres.
 At that time the gas cloud or wave"
 was released from great cylinders of l liquid gas embedded in the trenches and discharged by pipes leading through the paTapet.
 This form of attack has now been l largely discarded, for it depended for effectiveness on the prevailing wind 1 blowing from the right quarter. It soon l became apparent that the gas shell was far more important weapon than
 any gas cloud or wave, for its action is Independent of the wind and con- kept up so that the whole target area
 is continuously poisoned.
 Though entirely surprised by the 1 first German gas attack, the British and French quickly devised defensive measures and every soldier was SUD- 1 piled with a gas mask. The box respirator which every Allied soldier boy now carries is an absolute pro- I lection against all forms of gas, pro- vided that it is put on at the first alarm and is not removed until the danger is past.
 But is is very difficult to fight hour after hour without removing the respirator There can be little speech, Il and a man can neither eat, drink nor
 smoke. During a gas attack, there
 must be as little unnecessary moving
 as possible, for violent movements of the body are likely to displaee the | mask and let little of the poisoned | air into the lungs. Gas shells are now used largely by both sides, for the bonabardment of back areas and | lines of communication, for the si-
 fencing of hostile batteries, and as a
 l barrage previous to an infantry at
 tack, when their effect is often SUD-
 plemented by gas-wave discharges
 from trench cylinders. The effect oi
 a gas attack is much worse and lasts
 l much longer in closed spaces such as
 trenches and dugouts, and is more : effective in towns and villages thai 3 in. the open. There are many kindi 3 of gas now in common use. Tller, ' { is purely suffocating gas; a tear gas t which attacks the eyes; sneezins ' gas, intended to provoke an easie ] assimilation of the poison gas whicl } accompanies it; and lastly, the mHs 3 tard gas. which is an eye lung ant s skin irritant.
 Il Gas shells in most cases contain r mixture. designed to produce a doubl = effect The shells are fired by guns 0 a all cahbre and gas mines" and tor n pedoes" are discharged from trenc1
 mortars.
 d The majority of gas casualties re = cover quickly, provided they have bee 5, only slightly exposed to the fumes be t fore they put their respirators or l. The effects of the irritant mustar Il gas are not usually serious, most case l, recovering in two or three days. It s 1 generally stated that the gas attack n of the French and British are mor d potent even than those of the German. IS while the Allies 'respiIators are muc $ better than the Germans because tn e Germans have not been able to ge 'f rubber enough to use it plentifully - these instruments. The German mas l. is of leather or treated so badly tha r. sGerman casualties have been inordi j., nately heavy.

GENERAL WOOD.

It is quite natural that there should he much surprise manifested over the action which has been taken relative 10 General Leonard Wood. For some time it has been felt that this senior American officer has not been used to the best advantage. He has been shifted about from one post to another since being taken from command of the department of the east and he has accomplished excellent work in tine training of division at Camp Funston. In view of the fact that he has been sent to Europe to get a closer idea of the situation there, it was expected that he would be all lowed to go across in command of the division he has trained. There was some fear that he would not be found to be in proper physical condition but a most rigid examination oEereame that and when the division was or dered east without the designation of new commander it was believed that it was intended that he should see service Such was what he most earnestly desired.
 To have this situation knocked in the head after he had come east. and as he supposed was on his way to France, vas the continuation of the many surprises which further clouds the situation. but even more so is the order that he go to San Francisco to head the western department, which is less desirable than the command ing of a training camp. General Wood, like a good soldier, declares that he will go where ordered hllt there appears to be a strange dis crimination which even the country is at a loss to understand.

THE VOTERS RESPONSIBILITY.

It is not bit too early for the Eoters within the city to make up their minds to go to the polls and cast their votes fa the election of city officials next Monday. Not few of the Vot- CTS have been called away for ser rice in the army and navy so that a greater responsibility rests upon those who remain at home. There is a duty which devolves upon every voter and that does not consist of staying away from the polls on election day and eriticizing what is done when no effort is made to bring about the results which would be for the best interests of the city. This duty exists of course whatever the situation as to the number of voters. Every election calls for the expression of the entire electorate.
 The republicans have presented for the approval0of the voters a list of candidates who are entitled to con- scientious support. In several in stances they are men who have been closely identified with city affairs for the past tive years, but in all in- stances they are men of good judg- ment, alert and thoroughly intereste d in giving the city the best possible adminjstraSion and there is every req son to believe that they will continue to support the good features in con- nection with city affairs which have Teen brought out during the past two years and which have appealed to all citizens and taxpayers regardless of party affiliation. It is importan: therefore that the full vote should be gotten out in their behalf.

EMORIAL DAY,

Memorial day means much mere shis year than it did a year ago. It is If course impossible to forget the val sreat sacrifice for the maintenance of the Union and they will not be for gotten. The steadily lessening num- oers in the ranks of the Grand Army slake it more and more evident that the conduct of Memorial day exer- rises must fall upon the shoulders of their sons and daughters and other patriotic citizens and they will be fould alert and active in response to their duty.
 But on this second Memorial day since the entrance of this country in- to the worlds greatest war, there are still greater reasons for keeping green the memory of those who fought. bled and died for their country, for that number is daily increasing. There are already over 25OO who have given up their lives on foreign soil within the past few months and they are certainly not going to be forgotten for the sacrifice which they have made Those who have feared that Memor- ial day might pass with the death ot the last Civil war veterans must now realize that such thing can never take place. Memorial day is going te he observed in the days to come al it was never observed before.
 And in this connection every com. munity in the country has reason ts respond to ft1e presidents proclama lion csTling for the consecration of five minutes at noon in remembrance o our soldiers and sailors who hay, given their lives for their country il this war. It calls for a general ob servance and prayer for the victori
 sus outcome of our undertakings.

Views of the Vigilantes
GERfGAN LANGUAGE
 NEWSPAPERS
By Ethel Watts Mumford
 Of The Nig.lantes

Washington tells us it cannot in-I terfere with the German language newspapers because, and I quote the official statenen1-SThere is no law that prevents such publication if not suilty of pro o-German propaganda"
 The very existence of the German language newspaper is propaganda Of the very worst sort-behold how the
 Fatherland keeps it's own home fires
 burning. Why should American citi-
 zens turn fore their news to another
 ship? If they are not citizens should
 they be allowed the independent organ
 of another, an enemy nation?
 The German newspaper in the hand
 is an advertisement of un-American-
 ism. One in the hand is, perhaps,
 not as bad as two in the ambush, but
 they materially assist the Ambush.
 What Germany thought and stil thinks of the usefulness of German, Austrian and Hungarian newspapers is a matter Of record. Washington
 should consult it's own archives and
 note their import. In the infamous | correspondence once taken from James Archibald and now preserved at the Capitol, are the insistent cries of Dun1ba, the Austrian representative money appropriations for the all i'm portant foreign language newspaper. He goes so far as to press the de- sarabiiity Of running a fiction serial 1 calculated to foment strikes. To be l syndicated ''in local Hungarian, Slovak { and German newspapers"
 1 MT. Dumba then advises the dis penser of bribes, that the Magyar l Nepozava" could be compelled to fol- | low the lead of other papers. Daily papers in Pittsburgh and other cities
 are necessary to the propaganda-also those of Bridgeport and Youngstown and Cleveland. For one simple news I paper campaign of sedition in the Bethlehem Works Dumba suggested 1 s20 60D. Oh no-the German language l newspapers are safe if not indulgis1e
 in propagandat Propaganda does not necessarily mean, calling Down with America and Hook the Kaiser" through l a megaphone-not at all
 1 Good propa ganda. like a good spy l is one that gets by unsuspected. Now ] all together if we haven't got a law i lets have one. We had no law that l subjected women spies to so much as a slap on the wrist. Now we've go-
 one. Let the public demand it-cal for it. Knock on the doors of its rep ] resentatifes, ring tfieir telephones 1 them with telegFams. German in terests will fight hard and scream Injustice!" But if an aroused publit demanded their suppression they vii be suppressed-let us hope forever!

RAISING THE VOLUNTEER AGE.

In connection with the efforts to se- cure the necessary number of men to carry on the war, to do the important work of producing the supplies and to overcome idleness in face of the la bor situation, it is only what might be expected when the idea of Secre- tary Baker to increase the age limit for voluntary enlistnents 80 as to in clude men between the ages of 40 and $ meets with favor.
 It is made clear by the secretary of war in advocating this extension that it is not intended that these men should be. put into the fighting forces. At present men can enlist be- tween the ages of IS and 70. There are a great many beyond 70 who have been and unquestionabiy still are anxious to get into the service. and as shown by the secretary's state ment they could be put to good work behind the lines in connection witt operations which would make then important factors in the war but not actually fighting men. The utilization of men of those ages would mean tn release of those who are fit to so in. to the combat.
 How great the number of volun teers would be should the change b. made it is impossible to tell. Ther, are not few who are longing to d. their part and are not satisfied witt what they are doing. Family tie
 would restrain many but patriotism ! was never at higher pitch and iron
 the 750o.Oo men in the country be tween those ages there seems to b good reason for believing that ther ye enough anxious for some part il ] the service who would make an ex 1 cellent showing. The secretary's ide;
 is to give them, chance.
