ARM|ST|CE SAVED
TEUT0N|C RACE
Deadly Poison Would Have Wiped
Germany Totally Out
of Existence.

Guarded night and day and far
out of human reach on a pedestal
at the Interior Department Ex-
positionat Washington is tiny
vial. 1t contains specimen OF
the deadliest poison ever known.
1t is "lewisite," product of an
American scientists. 1t is what
Germany escaped by signing the
armistice before all the re-
sources of the United States were
turned upon her.
The airplanes carrying "lewi-
site" would have wiped out every
vestage of life, human, animal
and vegetable-in Berlin. A
single days output would snuff
out the four million lives on Man
haitian island. A single drop
poured into the palm of the hand
would penetrate to the blood,
reach the heart and kill the vic
Ilill III SIcdC dSOHy.
What was coming to Germany
may be imagined by the fact that
when the armistice was signed it
was being manufactured at the
rate of ten tons a day. Three
thousand tons of this most ter
rible instrument ever conceived
for killing would have been ready
for business on the American
front in France on Mrach /.
''Lewisite" is another of the
big secrets of the war just leak
ing out. 1t was developed in the
bureau of mines by Prof. w. Lee
Lewis, of Northwestern Univer-
sity, Evansville, ILL.,, who took a
commission as captain in the
army. 1t was manufactured in a
specially built plant near Cleve-
land, called the "mousetrap" be-
cause every workman who enter
ed the stockade went under an
agreement not to leave the elev-
en-are space until the war was
won. This, of course, was to
protect the secret. Work on the
plant was started eighteen days
after the bureau of mines had
completed its experiment. The
other preparations to bring the
gas into the war went forward
with like speed but the armistice
prevented the Germans from ever
experiencing a full realization of
what they turned their primitive
gases in the Canadians in Flan-
ders in the early days of the war.
Experts are certain no one will
want to steal the sample. Every
body at the exposition, showing
what Secretary Lanes depart
ment did and is doing, keeps as
far away from it as possible.

GIVEN WARM WELCOME.
Almost the Whole Of London
Turns out to Greet the
AviatOrS.

London, May 27.Harry G..
Hawker and Lieut.. Commander
Mackenzie Grieve we're given a
remarkable reception On their ar
rival in London tonight from
northern Scotland, where they
were landed Monday morning
after their unsuccessful attempt
to fly across the Atlantic Ocean
From New Foundland4 to Ireland
in an airplane.
A foretaste of the great well
come that the aviators were to
receive came during the after
noon When Mrs. HaWker went to
the railway station to proceed to
Granthan to meet her husband.
The throng about the station
loudly cheered the plucky little
woman who never gave up con-
sfidence that her husband ultimat-
ely would be rescued even though
the hours he was overdue grew
into days and finally reached a
week.
Arriving in London headed by
an Australian band and a body
of Australian troops and large
number Of automobiles, Hawker
and Grieve passed through the
densely packed streets on the
way to the Aero Club. In the
procession were the Mayor and
the Councillors of st. Panieras
and a deputation of the Royal
AeroA Club including General
Brancker, the Duke of Alholl and
other famous air men. Like Mrs.
Hawker, Mr.. and Mrs. Grieve
proceeded up the line and met
their son and bade him welcome
and congratulated him on his
rescue before he reached London.
Asked whether he would make
another attempt to fly across the
Atlantic, HaWker said tonight:
Il don't know, it depends upon
