His statement was that the COM

Lewis, of Illinois, declared to the sen.

He denied such n pact by this coun.

When asked whence this denial came,
he said he made 1t upon his own
Judgment because such an agreement
would have 70 be brought before this
senate or one of its committees.
Senator johnson, of California. and
Senator Brandsgee, OF Connecticut,
both said they were uninformed upon
the matter, but could not stand spon~
sor for all of the Illinois senator's res
marks.
For reasons satisfactory to me
do not wish these kilograms put In

They are from personal frienda

from the East, repeating kilograms re-

is, our two main production divisions,
The defensive division comprises the
manufacture of gas masks, protective
suits, dugout blankets, alarm appa-
ratus, etc. The American gas mask
is. | am quite sure, better than that
produced by any other country, and
we are continually improving it. So
our people can rest assured that our
soldiers in France have at least as good
protection as those of any other ma
ton.

gas and other toxic substances and
the filling of shells and other contain

wolves the operation of gas troops
The function Of the troops is to deliver
gas to the enemy in all ways except by
high power artillery; that is, these gas
troops carry out the cloud attacks, they
operate the projectors or light mortars
that throw shells filled with large
quantities Of gas. In other words, the
mobile administering of gas is done by
the gas troops.
Two Types in Use.
The two characteristic types of gases
In use are mustard gas and phosgeue
One is a persistent and the other is a
nom persistent gas. All of the armies
are using these gases-allies and en-

Ten million posters and display cards

The brutality and atrocity with

from its curse are emphasized with all

But the Germans found that they
had to meet competition in selling
their goods. This came from Eng
land, France and America; and Ger"
many, although her ships were well
coined everywhere and her goods sold
everywhere, was not content. She got
hoggish and talked sngrily about "a
place in the sun, even though the
ring was constantly getting richer out
Of the increasing trade. Thinking that
they would crush their rivals by force
and have the whole pie for themselves,
they provoked war. Autocracy had
an army.
And it was a very good one. There
was none bigger, or better armed, or
better drilled in the world.
But it did not win.
The forces Of democracy, deter
mined, like any free man, to fight for
his liberty whenever and wherever it
is assaIed, are arrayed against Ger
man autocracy. They do not have to
be told to tight they decide for
themselves. They fight for themselves
and for all men who want to be free.

Prussia, being the biggest Of these
countries, Is the big bully of the lot,
and the Kaiser is boss among the
autoerats. The Germans have body
which corresponds to our United
States Senate, but instead Of the mem
bers being elected by the people in
the different countries, it is made up
Of the rulers Of those states, and this
council of princes, with the Kaiser,
runs Germany.
Within the ring also are, Of course,
merchant princes, lords of the stock
market and other big interests, who
hope that their wealth will some day
float them to some of the numerous
titles of high rank which the Kaiser
keeps dangling before their noses.
The ring gets its chief support from
the land owners, who have an intoler-
ant outlook on life because they rent
their lands to the poor peasants, and
the income from this source is suf-
hcient to support them in leisure.
Naturally this class of men, which are
called junkers, do not want to see
democracy in Germany They might
lose their castles and be forced to
work like the rest of us. The German
Government assisted the merchant
