Americans Cheated
German Gas Bombs
With Cooking Soda
First Mobile Degassing Unit
Returns as Part of 3,265
Officers and Men Aboard
the Transport Lake Huron

The old North German Lloyd liner
Friedrich der Crosse, now the Ameri-
can transport Lake Huron, arrived here
yesterday from Bordeaux with 1896
officers and men, nearly all Of whom
were Of the 82d Division.
Among the units was the 1st Mobile
Degassing Contingent, which operated
successfully with the 89th Division in
giving first aid to men overcome by
gas attacks.
Lieutenant Harry T. Cummings, of
Mississippi, who came home in COM
mand of the degassing organization,
said it was first put into operation
September II, and had been given to
about 800 men who had been gassed.
eve were assigned to the 327th Am
bulance Sector, Field Hospital" he
said, "and our efforts showed that the
degassing treatment was a big success
the moment it was put into actual SER
vice. We went up first with the SD
relieved by the 89th, which had no
degassing unit of it's own. We stayed
with this division in the Toul sector
and had an opportunity for abundance
of work. The Germans knew that this
division was fresh one and they tried
to terrorize it with gas. Their mustard
gas shells overcame at least 800 men.
"As soon as man was gassed he was
rushed to one of our degassing ambu-
lances, where we gave the patient a
bath Of bicarbonate of soda and washed
his eyes with this solution. The
clothes, saturated with the mustard
gas, were put into retort where the
gas was neutralized."
On the Lake Huron came a drafted
man from Texas who won the D. S. C.
and the Croix de Guerre for gallantry
in holding a machine gun position
against great odds. He is Private AL
fred Simpson, six feet four inches tall.
He was a member of Company B, of
the 321st Machine Gun Company On
October in the Toul sector he and
seven others we're ordered to defend
position. His seven comrades we're
killed and the tripod of his machine
gun was shattered, but Simpson stayed
with the piece until the enemy was re-
pulsed
The transport Housatonic, from Bor-
deaux, brought home 1899 officers and
men, including, the First Anti-Aircraft
Machine Gun Battalion. which was
organized at Fort Wadsworth, and
spent fourteen months in France The
battalion is credited with having
brought down twenty-six German
planes on the Moselle front from Sep
tember 8 to October 8.
The Black Arrow, formerly the
Rhaeta of the Hamburg line,
arrived last night from Bordeaux with
1886 officers and men, made up mostly
of units of the 82d Division, in com
mand of Colonel E. D. A. Pearse Of the
regular army

Eastern Astrologer
Is Seller of Success

NeD York; Tribune
Foreign Press Bureau
The psychology of the modern East
ern astrologer is strange and won
derful thing, if we may judge from
the values he places upon his talismans
Guardian" Take this sample from a
February issue of Ceylon paper. If
you should be in search of honor,
riches, learning and greatness, or of
health and physical strength, or of
power of eloquence, or of success in
sport racing, cards and other games
of chance, or of good farming crops
and agricultural prosperity in general,
you pay IN rupees ($25O), and they
are all certain to be yours. "Men's
love to women" is priced at the same
figure, but for "women's love to men"
an additional 2h rupees ($1) are
necessary, as is also the case with sue
cess in trade and business or success
at law. But even if you should de-
termine to "go the whole hog". by
plunging 15 rupees ($5) for "Rabbi
Solomon's Special Talisman for Every
Success you still have to find 100
rupees $3.50 to insure success in min
ing plumbago, and as much as 225
RUPEES (s75) for success in gemming.

more from the to IL o'clock tour and
let those four squads do parade work
This would have equalized the work of
the patrolmen, for some would have
done their eight hours on tho regular
tour of duty and others would have
put in their time on parade work or
similar duty.
"This would have left one squad for
patrol duty on both night tours, and
they would have been able to handle
the work. AS Daily arranged it, they
worked last night and this morning,
leaving only one or two men to cover
certain precincts while the parade was
in progress.
1--WE want to know whether it is fair
to the citizens of New York to leave
only one or two men to a precinct
when such an arrangement Is not
necessary Another question is whether
this extra burden is fair to the patrol
men. They're tired out when they 60
on duty, perhaps they have missed
meals, and then they find 'shoohy'
has been set to spy on them"

covered with blood, he was left in this
lonely district, and for an hour wan
dered around he elplessly until he came
to the home of William R. Living
stone, near Haggett's Pond. He was
first seen by farmland, whom he
told he was Journalist" The farm
hand brought him to the Livingstone
home and notified the Andover police.
Opposed Going to Lawrence
Chief Frank M. Smith took Capraro
to the Office of DR.. P. J. Look, who
worked over him for three hours be-
fore he was finally in shape to start
for Boston, on his way to his home in
New York. The Andover police wanted
to take him to the Lawrence General
Hospital, but at this suggestion the
erstwhwile leader baked and said he
was afraid to return to this city. Cap
raro said he knew who is responsible
for the "outrage,' but that even though
he should be apprehcnded he would not
prosecute him.
Both men say they lost sums of
money. The Andover police picked up
their clothing and black mask near
the place where Capraro said he was
beaten up. The police reported they
found evidences of struggle.
Inc CITY Is aHOaC CO-nlgnC WIN ru-
mors as to the makeup of the gang
who shanghaied Capraro and Klineman.
1t is seriously stated that they may
have been a degelation of anti-Reds

Pershingg g Opens Big
Marskmanship Meet
For Army in Europe
Texas Private Stands First
in Opening Trials of Great
Tournament, Beating Cap
tain Hale by Two Points

LIE MANS, May 6 (By The Associated
Press).-In the presence of General
John j. Pershing, commander in chief
of the American expeditionary forces,
and other high officers of the army,
the A. E. F. rife, pistol and musketry
competition, considered the greatest
craftsmanship tournament in the
history of the United States army, was
opened on the d'Acours range, near
lie Mans, to-day.
After the commanding general, ac-
companied by Brigadier General Will
lam o.. Welsh, officer in charge of the
meet, had inspected the range, the
rifle competitors were assembled at
the first firing point, where General
Pershing addressed them briefly. He
said it was an honor to be selected to
compete in contest Of this kind and
spoke of the Importance of accurate
shooting and the distinction which
skill with the rife bestows upon it's
possessor.
He urged the officers and men to
carry with them, whether their future
lay with the regular army, the ma
tlonal guard or civilian life, the re-
minder that painstaking training and
proficiency in the use of firearms is q
great national as we'll as a great per-
sonal asset.
The scores to-day were preliminary
slow fire at 80 Oyards, 500 yards and
600 yards, and rapid fire at 200, 500
and 500 yards. Qualification scores
probably will begin tomorrow after
noon.
Private Karl Kennedy, former
Texas national guardsman, from the
l41st Infantry, stood at the top of the
list, with a score of 139 out of pos

Long Hours Without Need

Members of the Police Department,

grievance against the manner in
rhieh Chief Inspector John DAILY has
MANAGED the uniformed force for pa

cnct an outlying Bronx station, who
bsleve that their attitude is typical
of the others, yesterday gave voice to
their protests and threatened that con-
csrted action might be taken at the
next meeting of the Patrolmen's Ben
evolent Association.
Among the charges are those that
The patrolmen are being unnecessarily
over,yorked, that some have been called

dutv. that some city precincts are left
rractically unprotected because of the
sbief inspectors method of handling
crowds and that the "shoofy" system

Extra Drill Demanded

will be used in the Police Department
parade this month, during their thirty
two hours off duty. Formerly it was
the custom to practise for police events
without interfering with the time the
men were allowed to themselves, but
under Chief Inspector DAILY, they say,
their rest periods have been cut down
for this purpose.
"The men who went on duty at mid
night last night" said policeman yes

assigned to parade duty at 7. In the

Ancient British Coins
Presented to Museum
Sir Arthur Evans Makes Gift
of Collection Gathered by
His Father. Noted Expert

The collection of ancient British
coins formed by the late Sir John
Evans, K. c. B., has been presented to
the British Museum by his son, Sir
Arthur Evans, president of the Society
Of Antiquaries and trustee of the
museum. In letter conveying the gift
to the keeper Of coins, the donor ex-
plains that he feels private in
dividuals should do what lies in their
power to make up for the depriva-
tions the museum has suffered from
government parsimony during the war.
The gift is the most important dona-
tion received by the national collection
for more than half century. 1t num-
bers over 1,700 coins. Sir John Evans
specialized in this series of coins, and
his collection formed the basis for the
studies which resulted in the publ
cation of his coinage Of the Ancient
Britons." in which there was given
for the first time a satisfactory record
of the history Of England in the two
centuries preceding the Christian era.
One Of the most important results of
Sir Johns researches was to show that
at the time of the Roman Conquest
the OrlConS were Dy no means saw
ages. They worked their own gold mines,
and for more than century had an
extensive coinage in four metals (chiefy
Of gold) and several denominations
which shows that they had wide COM
merce and certain degree Of civili-
zation. The history of the origin and
evolution of ancient British coins is an
interesting chapter of numsmatic sci
ence which, while it may be paralleled
in other lands, can nowhere be studied
