South China or Canton govern
ment. The students range In age
from to 80 years and many
were dressed In native costume.
The marchers carried banners
on which were printed, "We will
stand no humbug." "Secret dipio-
macy will ruin world peace" and
other legends.

Canton government, which Is pre-
sided over by DR.. Sun Vat Sen,
first president of the Republic of
China, and which Is not officially
represented at the conference.

Ask Arms Conference
to Abandon All Forms
of Chemical Warfare

necessity of keeping up the intensive
study which has been in progress dur
ing and since the war In this subject.
So far as known, the determination
not to use gas az weapon of offense
unless an enemy should first employ
it, has not been changed.
There have been extraordinary ad-
vances in chemical warfare possibili-
ties since the armistice. Their exact
nature has not been disclosed, but it
is currently reported that gases far
more deadly than anything used In the
war have been evolved. The subject
also has given naval experts concern
and extensive studies of means to pro-
tect ships crews against gas shells
have been made with good results, it is
understood.
Whether the American advisory
committee, in recommending abolish
ment Of gas warfare presents any
definite scheme for carrying out such
a project beyond an international
agreement is now known
The advisory committees report is
in Secretary Hughes hands. 1t is re-
garded as possible that the question
will not come directly before the
Washington conference. but be re-
ferred to commission for study.

Both Hilger and Goddard were in

the prison investigating committee had
not as yet been organized.
Governor Story has been attempting
to choose a successor to Mr.. Mcleod,
but has been unsuccessful in finding
the man for the place. The acting ex-
ecutive said that he might increase
the committee to five men. Cover
