Tells of Accomplishments.

q Cen Sibert summed up the accom-
plishments of the service as follows:
1.-The chemical warfare service came
into existence as such July 10, 1918,
by executive order and is, therefore,
one of the newest services OF the
War Department Notwithstanding
this fact, when the armistice was
signed, this service was in a position
to perform it's full function at least
as effectively as that of any other
bureau of the War Department. This
function was to manufacture gas,
load it into shells. devise additional
appliances for delivering it, and to
provide defensive appliances for pro-
lection of the troops against similar
devices on the part of the enemy.
"On November IL plants for the
manufacture of the standard gases
were in operation. with a manufactur-
ing capacity greater than that of
England and France combined. which
CAPACITY would have been trebled in
the case of certain gases before the
beginning of the new year Several
other lines of endeavor in the toxic
field were just coming into produc-
spring of 1919 would have subjected
the German to a deluge of toxic sub
stance such as he never dreamed pos
sible when he commenced this type
of warfare. The American idea, OF
quantity production was functioning
with relation to gas
while a large part Of the gun and
machine gun equipment Of our armies

SEES EFFORT TO SPLIT
US. AND GREAT BRITAIN
Sir Henry Darlington Smith Says
Ties of Trust and Confidence
Must Be Maintained.

NEW YORK, December 14.-There
are not wanting those who will en-
deavor, both by the subtlest and
grossest means, to destroy that mu-
tual confidence established during
the war between Great Britain and
the United States. declared Sir Henry
Darlington Smith, acting British high
commissioner, in an address here to-
night.
Speaking at a, meeting Of the
Arista Society, a social organization.
comprising employees of the various
departments of the British war mis-
sion, Sir Henry asserted that, al
though "the, larger part Of the Brit
ish mission is now in course of dis
solution efforts to overturn its
work of achieving harmony between
the two great English-speaking ma
tons will fail.
Il firmly believe he said, that in
the vast reconstruction of the world
which must be effected by the treaty
of peace, the most powerful instru-
ment and the surest guarantee will
be found in the maintenance Of I'M
broken ties Of confidence and trust
between the British empire and America,
between both of them and France and
between all three of us and the
allied countries"

deported in accordance with orders
of the immigration authorities.
According to evidence submitted by
the government Lopez is secretary
and treasurer of 1.-The liberty group of
philosophical anarchists" and for
years has been the agent in America
of the followers of Perrer, who main
tanned an international headquarters
in Barcelona, Spain. He is accused
of having done "all in his power to
spread anarchistic doctrines in the
United States"
When arrested Lopez denied that he
advocated the overthrow of govern
ment by force, but declared himself a
free thinker.

There you have it in 4 few words
the latest most highly perfected

Chalmers prices have been and still
are rock bottom-and so will con-
tinue.
We cannot do otherwise.
Nor can we see any sound reason
for expecting any material change
N conditions for . long time to
come.
Materials certainly will not cost any
less while the whole world bids for
our supply.
Wages will never return to the pre-
war scale.
The United States Steel Corporation
has said so-and that is the worlds
largest employer of labor.
No, the competition of the cheap
labor of Europe" will not materially
change matters.
European labor is insisting On Z
higher scale Of living-the Azneri-
can scale.
And on that scale it costs just az
much to live in Europe As in Amer
lea. Just rs much.
So wages there are being standard
lied upward, too.
All of which facts are sound, you
viii admit.
But-you want something tangible
to tie to.
You need car-you prefer q Chal-
mers. But, you do not want to pay
dollar more for it now than It may
be bought for a few weeks

u. S.. PREPARED TO ROUT HUNS
WITH GASES HAD WAR GONE ON
Achievements of Chemical Warfare Service
Made Known at Dinner to Maj. Gen.
William l.. Sibert, Director.

Fathoming all the fiendish scientific
ingenuity of the Hun in wars chem
istry and going, him several better:
analysing his most deadly poison gas
es and making vapors far more lethal:
creating everything, even down to the
apparatus for manufacturing the mus
tard and sneeze gases, and in less
than two years surprising the inyen-
tons of chemists who had labored
for years to give the Huns this weap-
on-these were only few Of the
achievements of the chemical war
fare service, as was revealed for the
first time at the dinner in honor Of
Maj. Gen. William L. Sibert. director
of the service, Friday night.
Notable Feats of War.
Guarded from even the slightest
breath of publicity, the work Of this
at Edgemoor, Md, has been one Of
the browning achievements of Ameri-
can ingenuity and resourcefulneSS in
the war.
So successful was the work, it was as
serted, that by next spring, had the
war continued, American chemists.
working for the success of the allied
forces, would have smothered the Ger
man armies with undreamed-of guam
titles of poison gases. Edgewood ar
senal, through gas production, would
have captured the fortresSes Of Metz.
We alone would have had ten tons Of
mustard to Germany's one, and our
chemists had surprises up their
sleeves that German scientists dream
ed not of, were facts related at the
dinner.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1918-12-15

in Europe was procured in France and
in England. at the time the armfstice
was signed our soldiers in Europe
were wearing gas masks of American
protection as any mask in Europe.
1T was. however. recognized that
the soldier must do a large part OF
his fighting in gas mask, II this type
of warfare was to prevail. and that
fighting gas mask must be developed,
one without a mouthpiece or nose clip,
and one in which the eye pieces would
not dim. This type Of mask was just
coming into production and about
400, 900 Of them had been made when
hostilities ceased.
"This record and the gas rr"t!rc..
not devoted itS attention to chemical
matters in the past is someth!nE to
be proud Of. and something indicative
as to the future.
Col Walker Tells eSecret.@
Col. W. n. Walker. gas production
chief, took the lid OF with relation
to the gases that were being made at
Edgewood Arsenal, the secrets OF
which had heretofore been so care
fully guarded. He told bow the moss
deadly institution since time began had
! been developed In an isolated region
in Maryland. He said that tho plant
had been invented as it was built, Tor
no such industry as it represented
had existed before. Enlisted men hAd
worked with its deadly, products and at
times the casualties has been such a.
would be hard to match on the battle
front Shells loaded with these gases
were going to Europe by tho ship
load. Hundreds of tons of gas in con-
tainers were stacked up at points of
production. Production was already
in advance of the possibility of allied
use No German army could have
lived through the gas attacks that
were being staged.
No less effective was the prepare
ton for attack with gas by the enemy,
according to Col. Bradley Dewey, who
was in charge Of gas defense pro-
duction. Profiting by the experience
of our allies, and experimenting 1T by
American ingenuity. a mask had been
evolved which required no nose clip,
no piece in the mouth. A man could
wear it Indefinitely, could sleep in it.
So was an advantage over the Hun
