itors-a party Of business men-were
allowed through the plant last week
and they saw one Of the cOmmonest or
table supplies, salt, being made into
one of the most fatal pOisOns. rms
chloric gas passes from 1852 electro
lytic cells, is dried by sulphurlc acid
and pumped to the chemical plants.
Dry chloric gas is bubbled into the
common sulphur in tanks and becomes
a basic raw material in the production
of mustard gas, which was one OF the
deadliest weapons used to win the
war.
Then there is the phosgene plant.
rHere coke is received by rail and
burned by common steam boller.
Pure oxygen, obtained from liquid air
and carbon dioxide, are passed togeth-
er through red-hot coke producing car
bon monoxde. Dry chlorine gas and
carbon monoxide are suitably mixed,
and by passing over a catalyZer, con-
yerted to form gaseous phOsgene. The
LIQUID phosgene is filled into one-ton
containers for overseas shipment and
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 of
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 filled shells are returned
from filling machines and are classl-
fed by weight and stored one day as
test for leakage. They are then paint
ed gray and striped, the numbers and
colors of the stripes indicating the ma
ture of the gas within the shell. Here
the drums, whose range is approx
. mately 100 yards, are filled with the
fatal gases The grenades are filled
t by hand with stannic chloride and are
used especially in clearing dugOutS
Others are filled with white phosphor

hington.-What's 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

it 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-
ated by United States army crews,
working three shifts day. At first
it was attempted to run the arsenal
with civilian labor, but the hazardous
character of the employment made this
class of employee so uncertain, al
though fancy wages were offered, that
it became necessary to use enlisted
men exclusively throughout the plant.
The result has been that work of
highly specialized nature and extra
hazardous has been done by men re-
ceiving from $50 month up, and I'M
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

foretaste when the armistice was
signed.
"Came to Teach, Remain to Learn"
Two experts, Colonel Auld and Cap
tain Hankar, one sent from England
and the other from France, to aid in
the establishment of toxic gas plants,
said on leaving: "We came to teach,
but we remain to learn"
The Central Construction corpora

1917, for the construction of a gas
shell filling plant at Edgewood, under
the immediate supervision of. Capt

partment.
1t soon became quite evident that
more than one gas shell filling unit
would be required. 1t was also ap

elaborate scale in the first unit, bOtf
