FEWER REPRESENTATIVES AT BAPTIST CONVENTION
 WILL LIKELY BE URGED

Chattanooga, May u.-Reducing the representation of the local churches and district associations in the Southern Bap- tist Convention, in the hope of bringing the size of that body to where it can be more truly deliberative and conduct the vast amount of business coming be- fore 1t in a more efficient manner, prom
 ses to be one of the largest questions before the sixty-sixth annual session of the Southern Baptist Convention that will be assembled here at 2:S0 o'clock Thurs day afternoon. The body will be called Ito order by one of the four vice presi- dents of the body, in the absence of Dr. J. B.

Gases already prepared and in stock are of such deadly mixture, the off cers declare, that one whiff will kill almost instantly.
 INVENT "TOXIC SMOKE"
 The chemical warfare service has also developed, it was learned, another deadly weapon to be used in naval warfare in the future. It is toxic smoke" or phnylichlorarsine. It is to be used in the place of a screen heretofore laid down by destroyers to shield the main fleet from the enemy,
 This toxic smoke" consists of dense poisonous dust clouds designed to be liberated on the surface of the sea through bombs and smoke boxes placed to windward of the enemy force, the poison dust will be drawn into the ventilating system of the hostile ships, the officers assert, with particularly deadly effect. It has not been decided whether the toxic smoke" principle, using non-deadly ingredients, will also be given a trial during the coming tests.
 third innovation the chemical warfare service is working on is the development of system of placing a smoke screen over a fleet by the use of smoke bombs attached to para chutes and dropped rom aircraft or similar bombs fired into the air from guns on the vessels. A smoke or gas is being developed for this use that will hover in the air for two or three hundred feet above the ships.
 OFFICERS CONCERNED
 Naval officers admit they are con- cerned over the application of chem ical science in war on the sea. At the annual chemical warfare service dinner held here recently, Read Ad- miral w. S. Smith, in charge of pat ents and inventions at the navy de- partment, frankly declared that the navy was not nearly so concerned over the prospect of being blown out of the water" by aerial bombs as it was over the development of poison gases as an offensive weapon against sea craft.
 A careful study of the entire sub Ject Is being made at the navy de- partment. Naval officers are partic- ularly interested in report this week to the effect that all the destroyers of one of the great powers have been provided with two boxes to be kept in the fire rooms at all times, one to generate dense clouds of deadly poison gas through the smoke stacks and the other to develop an unusually dense and effective smoke screen.
 The first of the bombing tests against naval vessels will be con- ducted jointly by tho army and navy aircraft on June 21 against one Of the ex-German submarines 1t was an-

STEEL TRADE SHOWS
FEW SIGNS OF LIFE
Undercurrent of Optimism,
Prevails in Most Sections.

Business In the steel industry in the
last week was about the quietest of the
year, according TO the weekly reviews of
the iron and steel situation. with no in
dications OF Improvement for some time
to come. The more cheerful sentiment
Of the two preceding weeks, 1t was
added. did not improve the order books
to the degree expected.
1.-THE Steel Corporations reduction of
439, 900 tons in untitled orders In April"
says the Iron Age, assumes little sig
nificarre under any Interpretation.
Counting 40 per cent operation in April,
with no allowance for cancellations,
rollings would have been 525.000 tons
and new orders below 5000 tons day
Cancellations might easily have been
enough to require 10000 tons a day of
new business. or less than 20 per cent

S11,oOO,OOO GOLD
IN FROM SWEDEN
Bankers Expect Shipments
Will Continue Until Sur
plus Is Exhausted.

The value Of gold which arrived yes
terday from Sweden on the Scandina-
vian-American liner United States was
estimated at approximately S1l.00o.o00
In Wall Street banking circles. 1t sup
plements s6,325,000 which arrived on
Tuesday on the Swedish steamer Sture-
holm, and the rush of yellow metal from
Sweden Is expected by local bankers TO
continue until the surplus supply or gold
in that country. whether derived from
Soviet Russia, Germany or bordering
countries with which those countries
trade, shall be exhausted.
The feature OF the latest arrival OF
gold was the use Of registered mail In
stead OF freight. 1t Is said to bear the
stamp OF the Royal Swedish Mint. Rep
resentatives here of the scandinavian
lines assert that the freight charges on
tho gold are relatively small and not
worth the risk attending the shipment OF
the metal. which may explain the news
from Copenhagen a few days ago to the
effect that the three principal steamship
lines sailing from Scandinavian ports
had refused to accept gold as freight.
OF the gold which arrived by the
Stureholm the shipments consigned to
| the Irving National Bank and the Ma
tionaI Bank of Commerce were appar-
enuV diverted to Philadelphia, as the
mint In that city reported the arrival of
81, 1,245,500 in Swedish gold diverted from
New York, making the total received in
Philadelphia S19.535.500. The gold re-
ceived by the National City Bank and
valued at approximately s5.000,000 was
stored In that banks vaults awaiting
word from the Assay Office as to when
| 1t could be received and assayed.
The local bank acts merely as an
agent In connection with the receipt of
| the Swedish gold and consequently any
interest loss because OF the delay In Its
delivery to the Assay Office is borne by
the Scandinavian shipper. II was said
yesterday that the profits on the ship
ments OF gold from Scandinavian coun-
tries are sufficiently large to make the
interest loss an item of relatively small
moment provided that the delay in deliv-
cry to the Assay Office be not unduly
prolonged.
