WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The place OF
poison gas as weapon of war is per-
manent, it was said today by American
officials and experts.
Despite any ban that may be placed
on gas, there is nothing that will pre-
vent absolutely a recurrence OF its use In
war, military experts declared. TO rely
upon such a ban as protection would be
to invite a tragedy as the second battle
of Ypres when the Canadian and French
troops in the line were deluged with
gas for the first time in the war. Re
CARELESS Of any ban on the use of gas,
one high official Of the conference
pointed out, troops will never in future
be safe from disaster without the newest
type of gas mask.
HOPE TO SEE
RESTRICTION.
In taking this stand, American rep
resentatives openly express every desire
to see gas restricted and If possible
eliminated. but they hold that this latter
Is a practical impOssibility.

sereing fifty patriotic, civic, fraternal,
professional and labor organizations

CAN CUT UP ROADS
K. c., No., Trucks Have Free
Use of Kansas Highways.
Bill in State Senate Apparently
Needs Patching.

The owner of the biggest truck
which hauls freight over the roads of
Kansas, and cuts them to pieces, need
not pay a cent toward the mainte-
nance of the roads if his headquar-
tiers are near enough the state line
that he can build his garage on the
other side thereof.
When the roads committees of the
house and senate drafted the bill
which assessed a graduated license fee
on the automobiles of the state, cal
culated to collect from them the state
aid'' road fund in proportion to the
damage which they do to the roads,
the committee made no provision for
collecting from trucks owned outside
the state.
When the fight on the bill was on
in the state senate, Senator Kyle,
chairman of the roads and bridges
committee of that body, was directing
the battle. Senator Thompson, of Ma
rion county, thought of the delivery
trucks which leave Kansas City, Mo,
daily and haul heavy loads over the
Kansas roads, distributing them to
Kansas merchants.
Objection to Amendment
Senator Thompson presented an
amendment designed to make these
trucks carry their share of the load of
keeping up the roads which they use
Objection came Immediately from
the roads and bridges committee
Representative Jones' of Lyons county,
chairman of the house roads commit
tee, who sat beside the chairman
pered to Senator Kyle, who urged
that eve don't amend this bill too
much now. The chairman of the roads
committee Of the house informs me
that a separate bill is being prepared
in the house committee which will
look after this thing"
Senator Thompson subsidized, in con-
fidence that the point would be looked
after. Representative Jones couldn't
tell much about the separate bill"
which was being prepared in his COM
mittee. and no such bill has ever been
introduced since that time. I'VE
haven't got it ready yet. 1t all de-

say anything about such a bill,'' Rep
resentative Jones said in answer to

ter the committee bill was considered
in the senate.

This point means lot, and I don't
think it has been given a square

morning.
After discussion with Senator Kyle,
Senator Thompson said that he I'M
derstood that a committee bill on the
point was to be drafted and intro
duced. But at noon, Senator Kyle
said it was too late to get such a bill
thru. 1t would require unanimous
consent of the senate to consider a
senate bill at the present time, and
several senators told Senator Kyle that
they would object to the bill if he
tried to introduce it. q

Harding and Cabinet Start in
on Big Job.
Railways and Shipping Main
Topic at Meeting.
MUST CLEAR UP WAR WORK
Consider Seriously Commission
to Take Over Tasks.
Would Leave Cabinet Heads
Only Peace Time Jobs.

Washington, March 15.-Plans to
| return to normally" occupied most
of the attention of President Harding
and his cabinet today.
Creation of a war liquidation com
mission to clear up the aftermath of
the war. leaving government heads to
pursue work on peace time problems
was proposed and seriously considered
Confront Big Tangle.
Cabinet members, after investiga-
! ton of conditions in their respective
| departments, have found and reported
to Harding "a situation approaching
chaos in many instances, due to neg
lect which was unavoidable under
the pressure of war matters.
The tangle is so involved that Hard
ing and the cabinet have virtually
reached the conclusion that if the new
administration is to make Roadway in
solution of current problems, the
legacies of the war must be gathered
and placed in the hands of a steer
ing committee.
A situation of neglect prevails in
many of the territorial possessions and
is especially critical in Alaska, where
the population is diminishing and the
transportation system has broken down,
according to reports submitted at to-
days cabinet meeting. 1t can be said
that the new administration plans to
work out a policy which will not be
tainted with the greed of exploitation
on one hand or dulled with paralysis
on the other.
Shipping Needs Help.
The serious condition of the Ameri-
can shipping situation was discussed
at length and it was intimated that
new legislation may be sought which
will enable the United States to COM
pete on a more equal basis with ma
lions who now pursue a paternalistic
policy toward their merchant marine.
President Harding and his advisers
have been informed in various confer
ences with business men recently that
the low ebb of the nations Industrial
depression has been reached and they
are laying their plans in the belief
that the upward turn has started.
Foreign policies were not discussed,
it was stated.
The legislative program was gone
over informally. All members of the
cabinet. it was said, are planning to
cooperate earnestly with the legisla-
tive committee or reorganization.
The reason for the delay in appoint
ment by Harding of a new shipping
board was explained. The merchant
marine act contains a provision that
the present members of the board re-
main on duty until a complete new
board can be named.
