OF
CHEMICAL WARFARE
Is Understood to Have Been Recon-
mended at American Arms Con-
ference.
fRu The AssoeIated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Complete
abandonment of all forms Of chemical
warfare is understood to have been
recommended to the American arms
conference by its official advisory
committee.
The advisory committee report was
drawn by General Pershing and there
is some intimation that it does not
reflect views of all other higher army
officials. In general, army officers are
inclined to believe that poison gas or
any other form of chemical warfare
should be treated as any other mill
tary weapon should be treated.
American army policy under Presi-
dent Wilson prescribed gas warfare
after the armistice was signed. 1t
was formally stated that the Ameri-
can army would not develop gas for
offensive use but would confine itself
to a thorough study of chemical war
fare in preparation for adequate de-
Tense against any enemy who might
resort to its use. The general theory
of this policy, it has been understood,
was that it was impossible to confine
gas attack to purely military zone at
operation, the fumes were driven by
great distances at times and found
civilian victims in towns far back
from the fighting line. The army it
self can be protected with masks and
other devices, but civil populations
have and win have neither the protec-
tive equipment or the necessary train
ing in its use, officers felt.
In his annual report, published to-
day, Secretary Weeks does not say
definitely what the present army policy
as to gas warfare is. He does devote
space however, to arguing the neces-
sity for keeping up the intensive study
which has been in progress during and
since the war on this subject. So far
as known, the determination not to
use gas as a weapon of offense unless
an enemy should first employ it, has
not been changed.

"and / have been very much surprised
at the tremendous amount of interest
In the poultry show There are some
very fine birds here and of course some
that are not quite UP to the mark, but
1t takes experience in these things to
get the best results.
THE first bird / ever entered in q
show was disqualified, and then and
there made up my mind that would
win out"
Mrs Forbes is the first woman in
the world ever granted a license to
Judge poultry. She is also the first
woman who ever judged any livestock

same kind of work for the Quaker
oats company
But Mrs. Forbes made it very plain
that she has nohing to sell and does
not talk on the products Of the firm
she represents. The company. realiz-
ing the Importance Of pure-bred fowls,
and that fact that the greater interest
there is In poultry, the greater the sale

DE VALERA OPPOSES
TREATY ACCEPTANCE
Says He Cannot Recommend 1t
to the Dali Eireann or
to His Country.
fBy The Associated Press)

DUBLIN, Dec. 8.-Eamonn DeValera
tonight issued a statement saying that
he could not recommend the peace
treaty with Great Britain to the Dali
E,ireann or to the country, and that in
this attitude he is supported by the
ministers of defense and Of home af-
fairs.
A public meeting Of the Dali Eireann
has been fixed for Wednesday.
Following is the text OF cannon De-
Valera's message to the Irish people,
issued at 1870 o'clock tonight:
You have seen in the public press
the text of the proposed treaty with
Great Britain. The terms of this
agreement are in violent conflict with
the wishes OF the majority of this ma
ton as expressed freely at successive
elections in the past three years
II feel it is my duty to inform you
Immediately that I cannot recommend
acceptance of this treaty either to the
Dali Eireann or to the country. In
this attitude I am supported by the
ministers of home affairs and defense.
"a public session Of the Dali Eireann
is being summoned for Wednesday at
II o'clock in the morning.
Il ask the people to maintain during
the interval the same discipline as
heretofore. The members of the cabi-
net though of divided opinions, are
prepared to carry en- public services
as usual. The army, as such, is of
course not affected by the political
situation and continues under the same
orders and control
The great test of our people has
come. Let us face it worthily, with
out bitterness, and, above all, without
.reciminations. Theke is a definite con-
stitutional way of resolving our politi-
cal differences. Let US not depart
from it, and let the conduct of the
cabinet in this matter be an example
to the whole nation"

Delaware City, June 7---Sturgeon
fishing this season. has provided the
fishermen with more excitement and
thrills than in some years, having pro-
viaed action. similar to that of the

strate the truth of the statement that
sturgeon fishing is highly dangerous.
One crew, Frank Holiday and Clay
ton Dunham. had in their nets dur
ing the week the largest fish seen
This season. 1t extended from the
stern of the craft to the cars, about
twelve feet Thestwo men had thrust
their strong long iron hooks into the
head of the fish and had proceeded
to haul il into their craft, despite its
furious Iashing with its tail.
The men failed to properly. judge
the length. o( the fish, for when they
thought they had over half of il in
their vessel. they halted for moment
10 rest. but 10 their surprise in about
one minute the big fish had made an
other movement of the lower part of
its body and threw the two hooks in
10 the air, while Holiday went over
board. one of the hooks, made of
iron and about five-eighths of an inch
in diameter. and eighteen inches in
length. curved hook, was snapped in
TWO as if. IL had been wood, the fish
f.. taking part Of the hook with it.
The following day William Nicllle
and his partner captured buck fish
and had fastened it securely in their
i -xasifh
lash Of it's tail it broke several
lamps. an oar and other equipment in
the boat. causing more damage than
the fish was worth. as. the man ex-
pressed it, This fish had been fast
ened with heavy rope. but snapped
this WITHOUT trouble. The big sturgeon
are always tied. when they are gotten
into the boat, to keep them from lash
ing about. and causing damage. The
head is tied toward the bow of the
vessel. Another rope is secured
around the center. of the fish, while
the third piece is about the tail. which
is considered the most dangerous part.
In past years there. have been in
stances of the fish jumping clear Of
the vessel hack into the water and
disappearing.
