gram from France dated July p, 1918,
the reason for this being that France
had no more extra gas shells to be
filed with American gas.
"There not being gas shell available
with suitable boosters and adapters,
the gas plants were not operated to
capacity. However, sales of some ex-
cess gas were made both In England
and to France. England was sold 900
tons of chlorpicrin and 36S tons of
p%hosgene. France was sold 800 tons
of ~chlorpicrin and laos tons of chic
rine, equivalent to 1,126 tons of phos-
gene. Phosgene is so per cent chic
rine, and France furnished phosgene
shell In exchange for this chlorine. In
addition to the above 200 tons of mus
tard gas were shipped to England for
loading shell originally made for Rus
STA. These shells were never loaded,
and the gas, at least a large part of
it, was utilized by the English in load

London-Five years would be re-
quired to complete the proposed tun-
mel under the English channel from
England to France, according 10 an
authoritative estimate. 1t Is said that
in ordinary times the cost of the
work would be about $S0,O00,0 900, but
in view Of the increased cost of labor
and materials, the expense involved
would, under present conditions, be
nearly $100,OOO,000.
The Daily Mail claims to have def.
mite information that the British and
French governments have agreed to
the construction Of the tunnel, and
that the details now are being dis
cussed by a special commission in
Paris, which also is considering the
building Of tunnels under the Bos-

Session TwO-thIrds over.

Although the senate Is continuing
its custom Of holding no afternoon
sessions and is adiourning at noon
each Friday until the following Mon.
day afternoon, Speaker O'Fallon Of
the house has announced that he ex.
poets the house, which has been hav-
ing afternoon sessions since the leg
islature convened, and for several
weeks has also been meeting on Sat.
urdays, to begin night sessions within
q few days.
Some house members say there is
little use in the house passing hun
dreds of house bills and sending them
to the senate, only to have them die
on the senate calendar at the end of
the session. So far only 10 bills have
passed both houses and have become
laws. They were routine a~2propria-
ton measures, except for two or three
which had no statewide interest.
With so days of the prescribed 120
days revision session ended, two
tnlrds or the F1ft1eth General Assem-
bly, has passed. In the senate 778
bills and 25 joint and concurrent reso-
buttons have been presented, while in
the house 1,O53 bills and % joint and
concurrent resolutions have been in
troduced. In the house, $50 bills have
been e%ngrossed and are now on the
calendar for third reading and final
passage. In the senate 286 bills have
been %engrossed and are up for third
reading.
The session opened Jan. s and the
legal 120 days takes the session up
to May z. The senate has been in
session only 81 days and the house

Poisonous Fluid of No Commercial
Value and Unsafe to Have Around
America Sent Gas for 100000
Shells to Front.

Washington.-The first lot of poison
gas which the American army devel-
oped and manufactured for use in kill
ing Germans in the great spring drive,
scheduled for 1919, but halted by the
signing of the armistice, has been dis
posed of by dumping it at sea. 1t con-
sisted of 100000 p~oison-gas shells and
some large drums or containers of poi
son gas, which have just been taken
to sea from Baltimore and dropped
into Davy Jones' locker. The gas dis
posed of consisted of mustard gas and
chlorpicrin gas, both of which are very
dangerous and could not be used COM
mercially.
The 100000 gas shells were brought
back from France on a transport
about two weeks ago. After other
cargo of the transport had been IN
loaded the poison gas shells were
taken in the same transport from Bal
timore out to sea a distance of be-
tween sixty and one hundred miles
and dumped deep enough not to have
any effect on navigation and far
enough at sea not to have any effect
on the coast.
Dangerous to Have Around. ;
The containers taken to sea and
dumped showed signs that they were
soon about to begin to leak, as a re-
suit of chemical effect of the gas, and
in the interest of safety these were
taken to sea and disposed of under d.
rections given by Major General ST.
bert, head of the chemical warfare
service.
Ultimately all of the poison gas in
drums will be disposed of in this fash
ion, but until after the treaty of peace
is signed the army will be in no hurry
to get rid of a very valuable asset, and
it is not the plan to take all this gas
to sea for dumping until after the
signing of the peace treaty, except in
those cases where, through containers
showing signs of leaking " for other
good reasons, it is considered in the
interest of safety to dispose of the
gas sooner.
General Sibert submitted to General
March, the chief of staff, a memoran-
dun in reply to the statement that
no American gas shells were fired at
the enemy.
"In June, 1915" the memorandum
asserts, "the following shipment of
gases in bulk was made to the Ameri-
can forces, in France to be exchanged

For no obvious reason, tuberculosis
is the king of terrors in Belgrade.
A tuberculosis death rate Of 250 per
100000 is very exceptionally high in
America. Before the wal the tuber'
culosis death rate in Belgrade reached
T12, and during the Austrian occupa-
ton it reached the unheard-of figure of
1,453.
Before the war Belgrade ap.
preached a hundred thousand in popu-
lation. When the Austrians took it,
there were 10000. Another 10000
soon came back. At the present time
perhaps its population may be 10000
or $4,000. Some Of the shops are open,
but nobody seems to be buying any
thing except where food is sold.
The only autos going about the
streets are those of the military and

against the enemy. Three thousand
six hundred and sixty-two tons Of gas
would have loaded about 100000
shells, two-thirds of them being 20
nm. and one-third 155 mm., a number
which is thought to be at least equal
to the total number of gas shells fired
by the American troops In action In
France. showing that, while American
gas was not actually fred in American
shells in the war, it was fred against
the enemy, and that America fur
nished at least as much as she used.
I'm addition to this, $4,000 hyen
drums loaded with phOsgene were
shipped to France. These contained
279 tons of gas, and some of them, at
least, were fred at the enemy. AS
soon as shells were available they
were loaded with gas, and 25,O00
shells, 20 nm. caliber, were shipped
to France on August z, 1918. On Au-
gust 8 another shipment. Of $4,000
shells of the same caliber was made,
after which time shipments were made
as fast as shell and boosters were
available.
1.-THE first shipment of shells would
have reached France by September
l. They were unassembled. All COM
ponent parts, however, were shipped.
The ordnance department decided in
June to assemble gas shells in France.
The time lost in such assembling is
the only reason for these shells and
others not reaching the front before
