RabyIon,s Hanging Gardens.

The hanging gardens of Babylon
were not in any sense suspended, as
one would ordinarily interpret the
word hanging. They were simply high
up, or on terraces. This form of gar
dening has been popular In countries
all over the world since Babylon was
at its zenith Of greatness. There are
many evidences In various parts Of the
globe .of extensive terrace gardening
practiced by peoples long since dead,
but there is very little done at the
present day.

WAR PROBE COMMITTEE
HEARS OF A. A.EE.FAULTS

Testimony continued today before
the Congressional committee investi-
| eating the conduct OF the war, OF
which Congressman Royal C. John
son, who volunteered as a private sol.
dier during the war, and was decora-
ted for gallant services in France, is
the chairman and Samuel r. Ansell
formerly acting Judge advocate gen.
eral or the army, is counsel, startling
ly revealed the handicaps under which
our soldiers fought in Europe, due TO
the lack OF equipment for gas attacks.
Witnesses testified that not a single
American-made gas shell was ever
fired by our troops, and that France
having too little equipment for her
own army, was compelled to share II
with us.
The gas service in France as early
as August. 1917, laid down a program
for the production of gas and shells
here at home, which the authorities
OF the War Department disrega rded.
They never fully appreciated the part
that gas played in this war, II was
claimed, and even after the great
German drive in the spring Of 1918,
in which such an effective use was
made OF the gas attack, the War De-
partment did little to improve the
Months were wasted in an effort to
improve upon the French booster, a
minor part of the gas-shell firing ap-
paratus, instead of adopting what
both the French and the British had
found to be entirely serviceable.,
The gas service was not organized
at home until late in the spring of
1918. and such service as there was
before that was performed as an in
cident Of the duties OF the ordnance
department. There was an entire lack
Of coordination between the gas
service abroad and the so-called gas
service at home. and urgent requisi-
tions from Europe wAse Ignored in
the War Department
During the entire first year OF the
war neither the Secretary OF War
nor the frequently changing chief of
staff made any effort to improve the
situation, it was testified. Even after
the war was over, one OF the first
things that those two authorities did
was to get out orders abolishing the
chemical warfare service, which in
face OF the greatest difficulties had
become fairly efficient at the time
the armistice was signed.
