FIRE THREATENS TO

Considerable excitement was cree

last night by fire which threatened

from the vicinity of the basement.

was afire, and persons who went to

carry the service flags, other banners,
and valuable documents to a place of
safety The fire alarm had been sent
in, and soon Chief Wise arrived with

the fire would have wrecked the build

Captain Bolenbaugh gave brief
outline of the uses OF gas, which
ranged as far back As that OF ancient
known as are~k-FlA. He stated that
In several wars, mainly the Crimea,
and the civil war,-the use OF gas as
n means OF offensive warfare was sug-
gested, but II was frowned upon by
the world as a most inhumane method
of fighting.
break of the world war that all of the
nations OF Europe signed an agree
ment to abstain from using gas of
any sort as a weapon, according to the
speaker. All OF the principal nations
OF the world, with the exception Of
the United States. signed the agree
ment.
The reason for the United States not
signing the agreement WAS because,
so the army officers stated. Of the fact
that 1t had never been tried out def
niteiy in a war. No one had ever de-
cided on its real value. And SO. they
commended. why sign an agreement
about something about which they
knew nothing.
Captain Bolenbaugn illustrated his
lecture with a series Of drawings,
which showed the methods Of the first
German gas attack. the different hell

and views OF shells and several gren-
AIDES which were used to spread the

It takes a soldier six seconds to get
his mask on when given a sign of

chemists who were present about one
second to get out Of the room and into

Because OF the fact that a large
number of the society's members were

there were only few present.
