SAID LUSITANIA
 HAD GAS IN CARGO

Talking of delayed effects of gas shells reminds me that at least two documents were captured during the Somme-one of them l got myself which were obviously notes of lectures given to officers at a German gas school or staff course. In both of these sets of notes there were references to the Lusitania, showing that the Ger man higher command was trying to explain that dastardly act to it's own troops by making out that the Lusi- tania was sunk because it was carry ing phosgene shell for the allies.
 This lie can easily be nailed to the board, as not a single drop of phosgene -or any other poison gas or liquid, for that matter-was shipped from Amer ica before this year, 1918. Both of the paragraphs l refer to contained dou- ble lie, for they each asserted that the French started the use of gas shell.

the gas attack on the island was de liberate, some officers tonight thougnl there was a possibility that the sub marine had discharged the oil and gas after being wrecked on a reef.
 May Have Been Wrecked
 Attention was called to the fact that the action of salt water on electric batteries used by submarines generates chlorine gas, which is similar to mus tard gas in it's effect and is deadly if encountered in a closed space. Ii the submarine were wrecked, it was said, this gas would be generated and would come to the surface with the oil which would be freed.
 No such possibility, however, w>s mentioned in the navy department s announcement.
 Assuming the attack was deliberate, the only explanation offered here was that the submarine commander sought to put the lighthouse out of commis- sion with the attendant danger to pass ing ships If that were the purpose Of the submarine, he did not see why he did not destroy the lighthouse with his guns.

Memorial to Edith Cavell.

The photo shows the Edith Caven memorial erected near Trafalgar square, London. Edith Cavell, war nurse, was executed by the Huns for alleged spy activities. Her murder was one of the early atrocities that made it plain that the kaiser and his crew are nothing more than beasts. The designs for the memorial were done by Sir George Frampton, R. A. Critics call the result a splendid monument.

who left here for Washington on
Tuesday evening for the purpose of
consulting with the War LABOR
Board relative to a decision in the
Waynesboro case. returned yesterday
with the official decision of the
board in which the claims of the
men are even more than allowed.
Messrs. Conrad and White met
Messrs. Hewitt, Borden, Walsh and
Reichard, of the board, and after
a conference of several hours, they
handed down the following decls-
ion: That no man shall work under
40 cents per hour, regardless of
whether or not he has trade. This
means that the minimum rate of all
laborers shall be 40 cents per hour.
The unions in their demands asked
for 80 cents and 35 cents to be the
minimum, but the board thought
this to be entirely too low ana
granted the stated amount. Machln-
lists and all tradesmen shall receive
from SO to 65 cents per hour. These
rates go into effect at once. The
men will get back pay from May 20
