We are the Government. Government

the American business man excels. While

tons of chIorp1crin and 36S tons OF
phOsgene. France was sold 800 stons
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loading shell originally made for Rus
Sia. These shells were never loaded.
and the gas, at least large part of
it, was utilized by the English in load
ing shell.
"There were, therefore, shipped to
Europe 1862 tons of gas, or its equiv
alent, which gas was largely loaded
into Shell and used by the United
States troops, or those of our allies,
against the enemy. Three thousand
six hundred and siXty-two tons of gas
would have loaded about 100000
shells, twO-thirdS of them being IS
nm. and one-third $50 NM, number
which is thought to be at least equal
to the total number of gas shells fred
by the American troops in action in
France, showing that, while American
gas was not actually fired in American
shells in the war, it was fired against
the enemy, and that America fur
nished al least as much as she used.
'In addition to this, $4,000 liven
drums loaded with phOsgene were
shipped to France. These contained
279 tons of gas, and some of them, at
least, were fired at the enemy. AS
soon as shells were available they
were loaded with gas, and $4,000
shells. 70 nm. caliber, were shipped
to France on August Z, 1918. On Au-
gust 9 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 We're unassembled. All COM
ponent parts, however, We're 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
the armiStice.

WAR GAS DUMPED
FAR OUT AT SEA
Some Large Drums and 100000
Loaded Shells Rest in l 800
Feet of Water.
we're FOR use this SPRING
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 deveI-
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 pOison-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 I'M
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 re-
suit of chemical effect of the gas, and
in the interest of safety these were
taken to sea and disposed of under di-
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 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 or 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. -.--.---.4..s. -
"In June, 1882 the memorandum
asserts, "the following shipment Of
gases in bulk was made to the Ameri-
can forces in France to be exchanged
for gas shell: Mustard gas, Is tons;
chlorpicrin, 705 tons; phosgene, 4S
tons. Further shipment in bulk over
seas was stopped pursuant to a cable
gram from France dated July q, 1918,
the reason for this being that France
had no more extra gas shells to be
filled 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

ston is particularly brilliant. He
served from TITS till August, 1881,
when he was captured in his own
home by David Tanning, the notori-
Gus Tory leader. Tanning had
learned that Colonel Aston and a
party of officers were spending the
night at the Aston home. Fan
ming with 50 men surprised them
there and began a fierce attack that
lasted all day. About sunset Fam
ming conceived the plan of setting
| fire to the building by pushing an
OK cart filed with burning hay
against the house. When Colonel
Aston saw the preparations and
understood their meaning he knew
| the time had come to surrender.
But would Tanning respect flag of
truce in any of their hands? Each
felt that the man who showed him
self would be cut down by a dozen
bullets. Mrs. Aston heard the dis
cussion and begged to be allowed
to wave the white flag. After much
argument her husband consented
and Mrs. Aston walked out on the
steps holding aloft the flag of truce.
Tanning called to her to meet him
half way and the brave woman
walked slowly across the yard. She
said to Tanning: "We will surren-
der, sir, on the condition that no one
is hurt, otherwise we will continue
to make the best defense we can

the ship was lost and was never
heard Of again. Her husband and
father spent untold sums OF money
searching for a clue, but nothing
ever came to light. Tradition has it
that the ship was captured by pi-
rates and the crew and passengers
made to walk the plank except the
beautiful Theodosia, who was saved
by the pirate chief. In order to
save herself from the fate she knew
was in store for her she killed her

John Johnson was elected cap
tain at the beginning of the war
and held the rank of major at the
close. His home in Salisbury, n.
c., was occupied by the British Of
ficers while the fighting was in that
section. Mrs. Johnston, who was
Elizabeth Locke, had many relatives
in the American army-officers high
in rank. Her father was Col.

treated with all courtesy by the
Col Matthew Locke, but she was

Colonel Tarleton.

Colonel Tarlton's sword and said:

nv the director of the bureau OF
war risk insurance, with the APP
proval of the secretary OF the
treasury, provides more liberal con,
ditions for reinstatement OF iapseo
or cancelled insurance. Inc pro
| visions of treasury decision No. AZ,
allowing Is months from the date OF
discharge for reinstatement upon
| navment of only two months pre-
MUM on the amount of insurance
IN he reinstated. That decision is
Iiberalized, however, by new pro-
vision that men out of the service
are permitted to reinstate by mere
" PAVING the two months premiums
without making a statement as to
health at any time within three cal
endar months following the month
of discharge.
After the three months following
the date of discharge have elapsed,
a statement from the applicant to
the effect that he is in as good
health as at the date of discharge
or at the expiration of the grace
period. which ever is the later date,
will be required, together with a
written application for reinstate-
ment and the tender of two months
premium on the amount OF lnsur-
ance he wishes to reinstate. In or
der to give all former service men
whose insurance has lapsed or been
cancelled a fair chance to reinstate
their insurance, including men who
have been out of the service 18
or more and who are there
fore barred from reinstatement UNI
der the former ruling, "a special
blanket ruling is made which allows
all ex-service men to reinstate their
insurance before December 81,
1919, provided that each applicant is
in as good healt has at date of dis
charge or at expiration of the grace

Of only two months premiums went |

ton to the bureau, may have any
premiums paid in excess OF two
applied toward the payment of flu
ture premiums. For example, if after
a policy had lapsed for six months,
. man reinstated and paid six
months premiums instead Of two, he
may secure credit for four months
premiums.
The provisions for reinstatement
do not protect a man until he ac-
tually reinstates. II he waits he
may not be in as good health as he
was at the time Of discharge, and
may not be able to
secure reinstatement.
