L. :. GAS BROUGHT PEACE.
EnorTnouse Preparations of America

Washington, d. C.-If the VIZ
had continued through the winter
America would have literally smOth-
cred the German front with a deluge
of poisonous gases such as probably
the Germans never dreamed of when
they started this type of warfare.
Amazing secrets of the variety and
deadliness of the toxic substances de-
veloped by the United States, zeal
ously guarded during the hostilities,
We're disclosed by officers speaking
at dinner last night by the COM
missioned personnel Of the Chemical
Warfare Service to Maj William L..
Sibert director of that service.
Military authorities and engineer
ing chemists, it was stated, had eX-
pressed the belief that Germany's
knowledge of these preparations had
been an important factor in causing
her to ask an armistice.
Col. w. H. Walker, gas production
chief, told how the poison gases
one of them the most deadly ever
discovered by chemical science
had been developed at the Edgewood
arsenal in an isolated region in
Maryland. '"' @.- .' ss -saal5

before. Enlisted men, he, said, had

Naturally there is a good reason for

as it was the favOrite sport of the

LAUDS WILSON
u. S. President Praised For
Interest He Shows in

to represent President Wilson as
adopting regretfully such solution" :"

ing on the settlement of the question
relative to the left bank of the Rhine
by the council OF four There may
have been Emergencies as to methods
but there was an agreement on primo
iple and an agreement on the realiza-
ton Of that principle is bound to fol-
low.
mot the least interesting feature
Of the prolonged discussion was to
see President Wilson apply himself
passionately to the task of solving
the problem and still not injuring the
rights of France. He uttered a phrase
one day which France ought to know.
He declared with an accent coming
from the heart: 1T would be the sor-
row of my life If the great peace we
are making should be jeopardized by
any difficulty between France and
America
"The man who threw his country
into the war for France remains our
great friend.'

Believes Questions sett1ed.

Questions have cropped up at the
peace conference which imperiled the
peace OF Europe but the premier be-
Aeved that the conference had sur
mounted those difficulties.
Early in his address the premier
said his first impulse when he ret1,rn-
cd was to await the much advertised
SHOWN that these were not forthcom-
ing.
The premier said he should not
have thought that facts would be re-
garded as the slightest basis for crit
lclsm. but he was fully aware there
was great deal of impatience in the
world and he proposed to address
himself to the real. sincere, honest
impatience which was felt in all
lands.

Nicoll Barnes. the labor leader, and
those associated with him in the plan
for international arrangements for la.

problems. the premier said. the dele
gates were justified in taking some
time for their work. as a biunder

which might be either near or distant
After his reference at this point to
what he characterized as the time
saving process of building up tho
league Of nations, and his appeal for
freedom for the conference to finish
its labors without further harrying
he continued along this line to- point
to the dangers of not allowing the
conferees the calm deliberation they
required.
''It is full Of perils-perils for this
country and for all lands-perils for
the people of the world" he declared.
He begged that the men who were
doing their best should be left in
peace or else other men be sent to do
the work. The delegates were deal
ing with many nations. most of them
with problems Of their own. each with

J that could be commanded to prevent
the varying interests developing into

The premier said he believed the
conference had surmounted these diff

There were questions one never heard
Of which almost imperiled the peace
