any way Mr.. and Mrs. Frazee also
refused to comment on the action.

CALDER ON SIDE LINES

Jacob A Livingston, titular Repub-
lean leader of Kings county, has re-
ceived assurances from the managers
OF Borough President Henry II. Cur
ran that they will recognize him as
the big boss in Brooklyn. In return
Commissioner Livingston, who re-
Trained from taking any part in the
conferences that resulted in the selec-
tion OF the Republican Coalition pri-
mary ticket, has promised to do his
best to carry the primaries for Presi-
dent Curran as the candidate for
Mayor. Furthermore, It is under
stood. Mr.. Livingston has been told
that II Mr.. Curran is elected Mayor he
will handle the Brooklyn patronage
strictly along organization lines, and
that so long as he remains chairman
OF the executive committee he may
expect to be consulted about all such
matters.
Senator william M. Calder, who for
some years has been Livingston's rival
for the leadership, and, since he has
had the handling of considerable Fed
eral patronage, has increased his
strength In the Brooklyn organization,
has promised, 1t is said, to remain in
the background in the mayoralty fight
and permit Mr.. Livingston to handle
matters. This also is true Of +. j. RI.
Kracke, who with Senator Calder rep
resented Brooklyn in the negotiations
leading up to the framing of the Re-
publican Coalition ticket.
Manager Is Named.
The understa ndins was confirmed yes
tArday at conference between Mr.. Liv-
ingston and John J. Lyons, Secretary OF
State. who is Mr.. Curran's manager, at
the National Republican Club. The first
action taken was the appointment of a
Brooklyn primary manager for Curran
on the recommendation of Mr.. Living
ston. He is Frank Hollenbach, secre-
tary of the Republican organization in
the Eleventh Assembly district.
Mr.. Livingston said he did not want
to underestimate the strength of Judge
Reuben l.. Haskell with the Republican
voters, but he declared he would see that
the organization worked faithfully for
Curran.
Brooklyn Is considered the danger
spot. Curran managers expect to carry
Manhattan by three or four to one.
Richmond will go to Curran. Pres

tory, they say.

than anything else.
1t is evident, according to General
Fries, that nation with a large de-
velopment of commercial airplanes and
a thoroughly developed chemical in
dustry could wage a tremendously
powerful war without a single cannon
or machine gun. According to the
general, gases will put OUT of commits
sion from three to ten times as many
enemy soldiers as bullets and high
explosives, but the deaths would only
be about one-tenth as great as from
old style fighting.
IF an army unprepared with gas
should meet an enemy thoroughly pre-
pared to use gas, utter disaster would
befall the nation unprepared," General
Fries said. THE unprepared army could

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31-The next
war, If it comes, will in all likelihood
be fought to a large extent with chem
icals. The amazing development of
this form of warfare in the late world
struggle coupled with the fact that
|peace-time commercial chemical plants
can be transformed Immediately into
formidable munition plants, is suffi-
cien1 to guarantee this.
Contrary to general popular opinion,
fighting with gases is said to be far
more humane than other forms of war
fare. The measure of humanity in war
is the number of deaths and perma-
nently injured in relation to the total
number injured The surgeon general
of the army, in his latest annual re-
port. published interesting figures to
prove that chemical warfare is more
humane than conflict with bullets and
high explosives.
The blame for every conceivable sort
of illness has been laid at the door of
war gases. including diseases of the
central nervous system, heart and
blood vessels, the respiratory tract and
the digestive system This was be-

scale was new, and little was known
! OF the after effects. But a careful
study of the subject has been made
by the War Department during the
past eight months, during which time
some $500 letters were sent out to
leading medical people throughout the
world to obtain their views. Also 1900
claims for War Risk benefits were
examined.
| The result of this thorough investi-
cation to the unacceptable conclusion
! that gas, on the whole, causes no per-
manent disabilities. It was found by
! Investigation not only here, but in Ger
, many, England, France and Switzer-
land, that there is no direct evidence
that tuberculosis is an after-effect af-
| f1icting gas victims.
In addition to this phase of the in
vestigation. letters were sent to manu-
facturers of chlorine, heavy chemicals
and other materials that produce gases
similar to those used in war The an
swer to these letters in every case was
/ that they had never observed perma-
nent disabilities resulting from ex-
posture to these gases, and that as a
matter of fact, during the many years
these chemicals had been manufac.
tured, the question had never come up
before.
| Figures for the Army and Navy, ex.
Guiding the Marine Corps, show that
! in the World War 25S,336 men were
injured OF this number, 34,249 died
on the field of battle. There were 49,

her 1852 were suffering from gas
alone, and only 1921 died. Brigadier
General Amos A. Fries, chief of the
| Chemical Warfare Service of the Unit
ed States Army, estimates that less
than 200 men actually died on the field
of battle as a result of gas attacks
since concentration of gas sufficient to
kill within II hours was seldom OBJ
! tanned Assuming that 200 died on
| the battlefield from chemical attacks,
General Fries point out, the total
| deaths from gas would be 1,441, less
than per cent of the 1882 gas
cases.

high explosives, 46,449 died, or more
than "a per cent. 1t is evident from
these figures that the man injured by
gas alone had more than ~ times as
good a chance of recovery as the man
injured by high explosive shells or
bullets.
Other comparisons are quite as
striking The official records show that
&C men were totally blinded in the
war, A were partially blinded in both
eyes, and 644 were blinded in one
eye. These include eyes destroyed, or
those in which the sight was lost. Of
the gassed patients, were blinded in
both eyes, and % in one eye, total
of 20. These 90 were 3S5 per cent
of all those suffering blindness in one
or both eyes. In other words, bullets
and high explosives were responsible
for % times as many blinded as was
chemical warfare.
Chemical Warfare a Peace insurance
In defending chemical warfare"
says General Fries, 1--WE are not plead
ing for war; we are pleading for peace.
To the practical man the only way
peace can be brought about in the
world-we mean permanent peace-is
to make war so powerful and so quick
and so certain against the armed
forces of the enemy that war will be-
come intolerable.
NO chemical warfare officer has
ever defended frightfulness in war;"
the general continued. THE whole
service is strongly against the use of
gas as well as bombs or artillery shells
against cities or other groups of I'M
armed men, women and children. They
believe. however, that there should be
no limitation on the use of these weap-
ons against the armed forces of an
enemy, whether on land or sea. Each
side, knowing that gas is to be used,
will provide itself with masks and gas
proof clothing and will suffer less
deaths and permanent disabilities by
far than If the same number of men
were injured by other methods Mod
ern war has aimed at putting men out
of action as far as possible without
killing or permanently injuring them
The records of the war show conclu-
sively that gas is beyond question the
best war material ever invented for
| that purpose
Chemical Plants Admit Of Industrial
| Use
Many of the war gases have great
peace time uses. Most of those which
have not such uses are made by the
same classes of machinery, and by the
same methods, as our medicines. our
! perfumes. our Photographic chemicals,
our dyes and even our phonograph rec
ords. in some instances there is need
| ed only one shift in process to make
valuable chemical compound into a
! powerful gas. An example of this is
the change in the manufacture of in
| digo to mustard gas.
! 1t follows, therefore, that preparation
| for chemical warfare is highly eco
nomical, requiring no large outlay of
, funds during peace times. During the
war, chemicals cost about $3.50, 100000
while for other war materials handled
by the ordnance department about Sc
000, 900, 600 was spent. Yet it is known
now that at the conclusion of the strug-
! gle, the Germans dreaded chemical at
