To the Editor ot The Times Dspatch:
Sir.-As the grandson OF two Union
soldiers. IL gives me great pleasure
and satisfaction to read the letter OF
Nellie Parker Henson. entitled. "Wil
They Their Trust Bctray?" in your
PAPER this morning. Among other
ap; and sensible uttcrances she says
Does not the whole United stat cs
realize now that States rights is the
backbone OF our governments
Also or interest was the commend
able action OF tho Virginia Associa-
ifon opposed to Woman Suffrage in
their official protest to President vii
son. in trying to influence the Virginia
Legislature 20 rat!fN the Susan
Anthony amendment to tho Federal
Constitution. in which they pointedly
long absent from her and out OF touch
with her life and ideals. can YOU re-
turn now to ask her TO tear up that
sacred scrap Of paper. the Constitu-
tion. so dear and necessary 10 herr"
The writer being N!rCinian bv
adoption for tho last fifteen years
feels very strongly in favor of States
rights. and believes in the Union just
so long as that Union attends TO Fed
eral Affairs alone and respects the
rights or the States, Once let the
Union overstcp the line and auto
craticaliy infringe upon the several
states. II then becomes a horse of
another color. and look out for opposi-
ton from yours truly and h;s like.

table supplies, salt, being made into
one of the most fatal poisons. This
chloric gas passes from 1852 electro
lytic cells, is dried by sulphuric acid
and pumped to the chemical plants.
Dry chloric gas is dubbed n the
common sulphur in tanks and becomes
q basic raw material in h production
of mustard gas, which was one of the
deadliest eapon used to win the
war.
Then there is the phosgene plant.
Here coke is received by rail and
burned by a common steam boiler.
Pure oxygen, obtained from liquid air
and carbon dioxide, are passed togeth-
err through red-hot coke producing car
bon monoxide. Dry chlorine gas and
carbon monoxide are suitably mixed,

containers for overseas shipment n
was the gas most largely used In the
/ war.
Chlorpgorin, one of the commonest
war gases is another product of Edge
wood and was produced at the rate or
80 tons a day.
Filing plants are another important
feature of the arsenal. Here shells
are received by rail and inspected.
Phosgene, chlorpgorin and mustard gas
are received from the chemical plant.
Other war gases are obtained from
outside plants by rail. The capacity
of these plants is more than 125,ooo
containers a day. The ventilation is
such that men in direct contact with
the liquid gas are not required to wear
masks. The filed shells are returned
from filling machines and are classi-
fed by weight and stored n day as a
test for leakage. They are then paint

the drums, whose range is approx

used especially in clearing dugouts
Others are filled with white phosphor'
us and are used in the production OF
smoke screens in connection with the

M'NULTYS' DEEDS WIN
THEM LASTING FAME

Observation-Disclosures in the name
McNulty?
The encyclopedia Is silent concern
ing its origin. but two marines of that
name, who probably did not even know
one another, had lives that were near
ly parallel to one another, and both
distinguished themselves as heroes on
the battlefields of France. Which is
indicative that the same fighting blood
courses in the veins of these McNultys
from an ancestry that was doubtlessly
Irish.
Their names were nearly alike
Thomas John McNulty and John Nc
Nulty. They were both in the be-
ginning Of their forties-they were
both in the marine corps-they were
both first sergeants-and both had
seen 10 years of service under the
Stars and Stripes. Moreover, both
fought in the same battles In France
and both were seriously wounded.
And the climactic result of this strange
, 1919-01-30

parallel was that both distinguished
themselves as heroes almost at the
same time. John was awarded the
distinguished service cross and Thorn
as was cited for distinguished service.
But here the parallel ceases and
things begin to take opposites. Thorn
as John enlisted in San Francisco. and
1t was at the other side of the CONT
nent-Norfolk, Va.-that John enlist
ed. Thomas John was born in Amer
lea and John in England. Thomas
John was first sergeant of the Sixty
sixth company of marines INT John
was the first sergeant of the Seventy
seventh company.
1t was In the marines great fight
at Belleau Wood that First Sergt.
Thomas John McNulty won his fame
and subsequent citation. He led his
company of men in a daring charge
across a field of peoples against Bel
leau Wood, whence German machine
guns poured death into their midst.
His grim shouts of encouragement
cheered them on to victory until his
voice was silenced by lead and he fell
seriously wounded amid the blossoms.
But his was a hardihood that could
not die by any sudden means. Upon
his recovery he Joined a replacement
battalion and vas in the heat of sub
sequent battles up to the time the
armistice went into effect. He has a
father, Patrick McNulty, living at No.

Extraordinary Heroism.
First Sergt. John McNulty was
awarded his cross for extraordinary
,Aeroism in the fighting between Blanc
' mt and Saint Etienne. Under a
pey artillery and machine-gun fire
p rolled forward with a German
,~unter-attack he stuck by his machine
gun. Every man Of his gun crew was
shot down beside him, but he stuck.
Shot after shot burrowed it's way into
his vitals, but still he stuck to his ma
chine gun with a tenacity that could
only be broken with death and a re-
yard that he did not have for his life.
1t was at a moment when 1t seemed
that his iron power of will was soon
to have no living body to direct that
the German attack was beaten Off, and
First Sergeant McNulty laid his head
on the ground exhausted. Even then
he stuck by his gun, and 1t was only
when ordered to the rear by his COM
manding officer that he finally retired.
HE vas an inspiring example to his
men," according to memoranda in con-
nection with his being awarded the
distinguished service cross.

who lives at No. 40 Eastwood street,

A MEN PLAY A BIG
PART in WINNING WAR

1T was confidently declared would
smother the Metz forts.
Upon these 300 acres have been con-
structed a large number of immense
chemical plants with the necessary ad-
Juncts, all on an extensive scale, con-
nected by 80 miles of railway, oper-
ated by United States army crews,
working three shifts a day. AT first
1t was attempted to run the arsenal
with civilian labor, but the hazardous
character Of the employment made this
class or employee SO uncertain, al
though fancy wages were offered, that
1t became necessary to use enlisted
men exclusively throughout the plant.
The result has beer that work of
a highly specialized nature and extra
hazardous has been done by men re-
ceiving from $50 a month up, and un-
der rigorous military discipline.
The research laboratory work of the
arsenal has been highly fruitful and
the gases of the Germans are said to
be mild In comparison with the more
terrible products of Edgewood, Of

"came to Teach, Remain to Learn"
Two experts, Colonel Aud and Cap
tain Hankar, n Sent from England
and the other from France, to aid in
the establishment of toxic gas plants,
said on leaving: 1--WE came t o teach,
but we remain to learn"
The Central Construction corpora
ton received a contract in October,
1917, for the construction Of a gas
shell filling plant at Edgewood, under
the immediate supervision of Capt.
(now Lieut.. COLI Edwin M. Chance,
then connected with the ordnance de-
partment.
1t soon became quite evident that
more than m gas shell filling unit
would be required. 1t was also APP
parent that experimental work neces-
sarily had to be carried on in connec-
ton with construction on a somewhat
elaborate scale in the first unit, both
of which circumstances caused the
pressure on the entire situation to be
rapidly increased, hence the contract
or's organization, as well as the mill
tary personnel, began to increase rap
idly early in he present year, until at
the height of its operation the con
struction corporation had approximate

structed at top speed.
