One that will place them decidedly to the fore in the race for the 10 handsome automobiles and other prizes that will be awarded free just a few weeks hence.
 For promptly at o'clock next Sat urday night the wonderful 100000 ex- tra vote offer. the supreme vote get ting opportunity of the campaign. comes to an end. Until that time every club of new subscriptions to The Age herald, totalling $50 entities the can didate turning it in to a special voting ballot good for 100000 extra votes. The regular votes are issued as usual, the 100000 being in the form of bonus for obtaining the club. Indications are at the present time. that before the offer closes, practically every candidate in the list will have obtained a club. Some asesrt that they will be able to t''O NASbS. aAA0 eANo oeAAAa -S~f 900 votes
 New candidates are finding the offer to be an excellent means of reaching the top with just little effort. Several of those who had only 2000 votes to their credit in last Sundays Age-Her- aid were right up among the leaders in yesterdays list. For those who have thus far made no appreciable gain in the vote columns, the offer presents an unusually attractive opportunity to strive ahead. To get up $50 club, re- quires but a short period of effort among friends and relatives. Said one of the new entrants, concerning her experinece in reaching the top:
 Why, I didn't have a bit of trouble 1 in getting right up in the lead You give so many votes on new subscrip- tions that it ought to be easy for any young woman to acquire an advantage ous position"
 All new subscriptions to apply on the offer must be in the campaign office or in the mails not later than 9 D. m.

ORDERS ISSUED MAY 1s


 All of his conferences, he said, had been with Assistant Secretary Crowel. whom he safd was opposed to the plan. Orders for the consolidation he said were issued on May 19 and directed him to turn over the chemical warfare records to the en- gineer corps. This had not been done as yet he said.
 The house provision prohibiting the war department from purchasing additional real estate was opposed by Assistant Di- rector of Munitions Dorr before the com mittee today. Earlier in the day Secre- tary Baker conferred with Chairman Wadsworth in regard to this provision. declaring that if retained in the bill, mil- lions of dollars in losses to the govern ment would result.
 Considerable discussion resulted from the presentation by Mir. Dorr of figures to show the losses that would result from this provision if it prevented the completion of Camp Benning. Ga, which is to be used as a machine gun school. and Camp Bragg, Fayetteville N. C.. which is being constructed for artillery purposes.
 On March last the military committee by a resolution refused to sanction the construction of these two camps, and members of the committee expressed sur prise when it became known today that these camps were under construction. MT. Dorr told the committee that Camp Ben ming is about 65 per cent completed and that to abandon the project would cause the government a loss of s2,65s.S55. To complete the project. however, he esti- l mated, would cost s2,607,913. Camp Ben ning according to a statement furnished the committee by Secretary Baker, covers 115o00 acres of which 59.29S had been bought at a cost of $1,657,O0o, while 1.54a hod pta6 for but not vet paid for The value of the latter tract was estimated at $262,S
 Senator Thomas, as well as number of other senators, deplored the fact that the war department had gone ahead with this work, the former declaring that the "Benning situation is very unfortunate one"

General Seibert told the com mittee he regarded the gas as an es. sential element of warfare and that he did not think the engineering de- partment could take care of the chem teal warfare service or was qualified to handle it.
 Gas, General Sibert said, was
 responsible for 30 per cent of the
 American casualties in France, hut
 only per cent of those affected
 died. \ survey showed, he said.
 that gas left no bad effects upon
 those recovering.
 s1It is a very effective, but not a
 cruel method. then.- asked Senator
 Chamberlain, democrat, of Oregon.
 "I look upon 1t as the most hu-
 mnne element in war;" replied General Sibert.
 Seibert said he did not appear be- fore the committee to request an an- propriation, saying the service did not need any, but instead had between s17.o0o.000 and s27 100000 to turn ba ,k into the federal treasury through caa- cellation of contracts
 Replying to questions General Seibert said he did not know the course sug- gested for the consolidation of the. chem ical warfare and engineering departments and that Secretary Baker agreed with him regarding it.
