TANKS PREPARED
 FOR GAS ATTACK
(By Review Leased wire)


 WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S-When hos tilities ceased the American army was being prepared and equipped to hurl ten tons of mustard gas into the Ger man forces, according to Maj. Gen. William NJ. Sibert, director of the chemical warfare service, in a speech here tonight at a dinner given in his honor The day the armistice was signed, he said, plants for the manu- facture of the standard gases were in operation with manufacturing capac- ity greater than that O. England and France combined. This capacity would have been trebled in the case of cer- tain gases before the beginning of the new year.
 General Sibert revealed the fact that his department had perfected g new type of gas mask for the defense of the American army which was far superior in every respect to any mask used by either the enemy or the allied forces He added that 100000 of these lldShn udu DtSn pAONuNSu NhIA NhN war ended
 Speaking of the work done to equip the army with gas shells and new and more terrible poisonous vapors, Col. w. II. Walker in charge of produc- ton, said that the great plant con structed at Edgewood. Maryland, was the most deadly institution since time began" The work in progress there has been carefully guarded here tofore. but Colonel Walker told some thing of the enormous quantities of poisonous gases that were being turn ed out and shipped abroad when the fighting ended. While he gave no figures. he indicated that casualties the enlisted men who handled these deadly products at the plant would be hard Go match on the battle front"

KING COTTON FREE

WHILE NO ANNOUNCEMENT IS MADE IT IS UNDERSTOOD NOT TO BE CONSIDERED NECESSARY LONGER TO CONTROL coMMoD- ITY SINCE MARKETS OPENED
CRv Review Leased wIrel


 WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-All gov ernment regulation affecting raw cot ton, ended today with the dissolution of the cotton distribution committee of the war industries board.
 While there was no announcement, either by Chairman Charles J. Brand of the committee, or by Chairman Baruch, of the war industries board, as to the consideration which led to the decision to abolish the committee, it was understood that officials no longer regarded it as necessary to control distribution, now that the world markets have been re-opened with the ending of the war.
 The committee appointed by Presi- dent Wilson to investigate the gen eral cotton situation, was dissolved several weeks ago, after it had re- ported to the president that there was no necessity for fixing price for the various grades of raw cotton
 Another action by the government today, affecting cotton, was the allo- cation by the shipping board of two ships of 21,200 tons for the cotton carrying trade The Kirkle of 94OO tons, was ordered to Galveston, to load cotton for England, and the Chal- lengencer, 11,S00 tons, was sent to New Orleans to load also for English ports.
 In making this announcement to- day, Bainbridge Colby of the shipping board, said that great quantities of cotton are awaiting transportation, and that he is very hopeful of being able to follow up these allocations shortly with additional tonnage" as 1t is released from war requirements.

MRS. ANNA COLMAN lAOD WORKING ON
 PORTRAIT MASK

thy was needed-something which would hide their awful scars and dis figurations. To replace missing arm or leg or hand or foot Is easy enough. But to replace face or the part of one-that was a real problem.
 And woman solved that problem 1! It is true that a mere man, Captain Derwent Wood, an English sculptor. conceived the idea of making masks for the mutiles, but 1t remained for Mrs. Maynard Ladd, an American sculptor, living In Paris, to perfect the work and to materialize masks which would replace torn and missing tissue so naturally that the wearer would be able to live out his life in comparative happiness.
 Mrs. Ladd Is an artist of intornation- al repute- Born in Philadelphia, she was educated in private schools, going to Paris snd Rome, where for more than twenty years she worked with Professors Berrari and Gallori. She exhibited in the Paris salon, in this country and in London. In 1913 she exhibited forty bronZes at GOrham's in New York and at the Corcoran Art Gallery in Washington. She received an honorable mention for her work at the Panama Exposition. Incidentally she is an author, having published sev- eral novels.
 Captain Woods original conception was to make a mask to it those DOT tions of the face missing. If the chin was missing then the mask would ex- tend only over the chin. If the cheek was missing then the scared portion would be covered. The question to be solved by Mrs Ladd was in the manu- facture of the masks. They had to be light, yet strong. of some composition which would not tarnish and would re- tain the color placed upon its exterior surface.

After considerable experimentation Mrs. Ladd hit upon thin copper as hay ing sufficient strength. Then she de- cided to have the base plated with sil- yer to give 1t a better finish. Next came the method to be employed in ilt- ting the masks. Consultations with surgeons brought to light the fact that nothing could be done with n;rt;ics until several months after their wounds had healed completely. as tac tissues contracted ever after complete c.cot-i- zation had taken p'" ".

 NJ when humanity, sympa-
 thizing with the misfor- tunes of others replaces war-torn. scared faces with new-when 1t hides honorable disfgurations gained in the defense of liberty-then there is 6 story worth while the telling.
 This, then, is the story of "Old Faces For New" It is a recital pa- thetic and pitiable; it is a tale of mems glory and womanis devotion; 1t is a song of sympathy and humanity of practical Christianity-of material ized altruism
 Since time began wounds received in battle were considered badges of hon or. Men gloried in them; women ad- mired But that was before the com ing of modern armament-of shell and shrapnel-of mines and poison gas. In those other, more humane days, scars of battle wounds were considered sa- cred. As the late William Shakespeare -or was it Bacon ?-said: "He laughs at scars who never felt a wound"
 But things have changed since then. Not that scars are not marks of re- spect, but some mutilations are so re- pulsive as to evoke horror mixed with pity. Wounds in the face and head leave the ugliest marks In the pres ent war hundreds and thousands of fine men have been torn and mutilated until they scarce resemble human be- ings. Photographs received in this country show men with their lower jaws shot away, with their lips torn of. with half their face gone.
 It is these men who were a problem for their fellow men. They-the mu- tiles as the French call them most alhIy-had the sympathy of their friends-of the grateful public. But something more tangible than sympa-

DON'T SUFFER s:f WITH NEURALGIA
Use Soothing Musterole

When those sharp pains go shooting through your head, when your skull seems as if it would split, just rub a little Musterole on your temples and neck. It draws out the inflammation, soothes away the pain, usually giving quick relief.
 Musterole is a clean, white ointment. made with oil of mustard. Better than mustard plaster and does not blister.
 Many doctors and nurses frankly rec ommend Musterole for sore throat, bron- chitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neural gia, congestion, pleurisy, rheumatism, lumbago. pains and aches of the back or oints, sprains, sore muscles. bruises, chilblains, frosted feet - colds of the chest Git often prevents pneumonia).
