By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, January 5.-(Special. At a recent dinner given in Washington by subordinate officers in honor of Maj.- Gen. William L. Sibert, native Alabam- ian, head of the chemical warfare divi- sion, it was stated that the division had made such progress that but for the un- expected ending of hostilities. the Ger mans would have been beaten by gas alone.
 That much said at banduets is exag- gerated is suggested by formal state ment by the general to Congress in which he urged the necessity of develop ing the division provided the terms of peace do not preclude the use of gas in future wars.
 An organization of this kind would have as it's biggest element a research branch, said General Sibert, !" the function of which branch would be to keep abreast of the times in all Of the chemical appliances or substances necessary or useful in war and, if the use of gas is continued or authirized, the training of troops in the use of gas masks and things of that sort. That would be a part of it's functions, but whether gas is used or not there are other chemical substances, such as smokes that have 8 tactical use in war fare and the use of which is growing l refer to the making of screens behind which troops can advance. We would also have a proving ground force to try out appliances that were developed elther in our own laboratories or found abroad

 The war having ended, there is an in- dication that in many minds credit for the splendid success of the navy is given to the subordinates of the secretary.

RECLAMATION WORK
 WILL BE EXTENDED

Washington, January 5.-(SpeciaL) )-The war prison labor and national waste reclamation section of the war indus tries board, in a statement released to- morrow, announces that it will be in- corporated in the department of commerce and made permanent.
 Action to this effect resulted from the
 success of the section in reclaiming for war purposes the wastes of the nation When the armistice was signed the sec tion was retaining waste to the amount of $1,500, ,OoO,000 per annum When the armistice was signed, S6 reclamation councils had been formed as subsidiaries in as many cities, and similar organiza- ton in 200 other cities was underway. This work will be continued until every American city will be aiding in the campaign to prevent waste, or turning into money things thrown into the dump
 Estimating the value of waste mate rals reclaimed during 191S the section furnishes the following:
 Scrap iron ........................ $60o0UoVo Scrap metal ...................... 3OoVOO,0oO Old waste paper and other
 rags ........................ zvVVV,VVV woolen rags . 75O00, ,OOO Cotton and wool waste 100OOo,0oo Old rubber ............ 300 000, 600 Secondhand bags - 25OOO,OOO
 Cotton hnters - 5O,OO0.00O As an illustration to show what can be accomplished through well-regu- lated system of waste reclamation, the reclamation division of the quartermas- ter's department of the army during the period from January 1, 1918 under this plan reclaimed 17,7Se,592 articles valued at over $20 900.
 It is expected that the reproduction of raw and waste products from waste ma terials will in the future play an impor- tant part in the development of Ameri- can export trade, offering American pro- ducers and commercial interests bet ter competitive chance with foreign ri- vals without in any way affecting or changing labor conditions by lowering the standards of the workers.
