HUNS NOW WANT
 10 STOP ARMIES
 FROM USING GAS
Find They Have Started Something in Warfare
 They Can't Stop.

London. March -lCorleSpond- ence of the Associated Press. 1.-The German government is back of the move to induce all the belligerent ma tions to agre to stop the use of pois- on gas, declares the National War Aims Committed Having let loose this pest of modern warfare, they when they see it about to devour them to cry peace" adds the committee. This explanation is given for the move ment set on foot by the International Red Cross Society of Geneva to aban- dcn the use of the gas in fighting. If is asserted that the influence of neu- tral powers is being enlisted to bring about this end. German paciflsts in Switzerland are strongly supporting the attempt to save the Germans from receiving payment in their own coin.
 "When the Germans introduced this new and deadly means of warfare, v says the National War Aims Commit tee, "they put into the hands of their enemies weapon which could be us ed against themselves with terrible effect. The use of poison gas in clouds is ntirely dependent on the di- rection of tn wind study of the l1ucLcOIOIOSICdl IcCOluS Ol ANOl CICooCNi IT France for neriod of ten years prev ious to 1915 would have them that for every day on which the wind blows from the east or northeast, the directions necessary to allow the Germans to use gas, there are at least six days on which it blows from the west or southwest, the quarter favor able tc the allies.
 "Tn not more than two months in the whole year are the prevailing winds favorable to the enemy and their preponderance even in those months is not so great as the preponderance of westerly winds in some of the remaining months The Allies were, of course, not slow to avail them selves of this natural advantage with results that must by now have made terly rue the day that they committed the German Higher Command bit terly rue the day that they committed what was not cnly crime, but blum der.
 "The development of gas warfare became conflict between the scien- tific brains and manufacturing ca pacities of the two sets of combat ants. Time and superior industrial resources have assisted the British and the French in catching up on the original handicap and the participa- ton of the United States in the war l is about to throw the balance over- whelmingly on the Allies side: At the present moment the respirator worn by the German troops is, mark edly inferior in protective powes to those which the British, French and American armies are equipped. Gases which penetrate the German respirator but not those of the allies, have al ready been employed by the allies with marked effect.
 "On the other hand the respirators of our troops give a complete pro tection to the lungs and eyes against all gases hitherto used by the enc my and unremitting investigation and
 foresight are at work preparing for
 the adoption of new forms of protect
 ion to meet any future developments
 that may arise.
 "It is at this stage that the Ger man Government is exploiting move ment for the abandonmehl on human
 itarian grounds of gas warfare"

rossiysk. Wherever the Czecho-Slovaks
appear the Bolshevists flee and the
population greets the -Slovaks
as friends and liberators, joining them
and reestablishing order.
"This is the beginning of the resur-
rection of Russia. If Russia now is
given economic, financial and technical
help on the proper scale, with the
Czecho- -Slovak movement actively sup
reestablished probably not later than
the spring of 1919. Hundreds of thou
sands of, Russian patriots, officers and
soldiers, veterans Of this war, will be-
gin to join the Czecho-Slovak and
Allied detachments, organizing around
them as around & nucleus for the fu-
ture Russian army The spring of 1919
may see not less than a million men
standing at the eastern front, and
against this million Germany will have
to put up at least a million Of her own,
with probably another million guarding
her lines of communication. The
deeper in the interior of the country
this Russian line lies, the more force
will Germany need to guard the rear
of her own army among a population
so hostile to Germany as the Russian
population of to-day.
Says "Worst Is Over
1t is entirely within the limits of
possibility that by spring of 1919 resur-
rected Russia will divert not less than
two or two and onehalf million of
German and Austrian soldiers, which
means she will play the same role and
will render the Allied cause the same
service as she did before the Bolshevist
revolt in November, 1917.
"The worst is over. The Allied
power is now growing daily on the
western front and will grow daily on
the eastern front.
"Russia is coming back where she
belongs, into the family of the worlds
democracies, fighting the great war of
emancipation. The decision and the
declaration of the United States and
Japanese governments correspond with
the desires and convictions of the best
elements of Russian democracy and
am sure that to-day is day of great
Joy and enthusiasm in those parts of
Russia where it has been possible to
learn about the wise and brotherly
decision of Russia's allies"
