Washington.--The first lot of poison

oped and manufactured for use in kill

scheduled for 1919 but halted by the

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.

taken in the same transport from Bal

TO TUNNEL CHANNEL

London-Five years would be re-
qulred to complete the proposed tun-
mel under the English channel from
England to France, according to an
authoritative estimate. 1t is said that
in ordinary times the cost Of the
work would be about $50, 000, 900, but
in view Of the increased cost of labor
and materials, the expense involved
would, under present conditions. be
nearly $100,0O0000.
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 n special commission In
Paris, which also is considering the
building of tunnels under the Bos.
phorus and the Strait of Gibraltar.

France, showing that, while American
gas was not actually fired In American
shells In the war, It was fred against
the enemy, and that America fur

"In addition to this, $4,000 iven
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

available.
1.-THE first shipment Of shells would
have reached France by September

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

seas was stopped pursuant to cable
gram from France dated July 81, 1913,
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 ndapters,
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 1863 tons Of
phosgene. France was sold 800 tons
Of chlorplcrin and LAOS tons of chic
rine, equivalent to 1,126 tons of phos-
gene. Phosgene Is 80 per cent chic
rine, and France furnished phosgene
