NEW B|DSFOR
STATE BONDS
State House Commission
Decides to Re-Advertise
for Bonus-Bridge Bonds
rBv Evening News Correspondent. I

[By Evening News Correspondent.1 =
TRENTON, June 15:-The State
House Commission has decided to
re-advertise for bids for the sale of
soldiers bonds and $5,000,000 thirty
year per cent. bridge and tunnel
bonds,@ following the rejection yes
terday of the discouraging proposals
submitted by the banking interests
of the state.
The commission hopes to induce
the bankers to display a more patri-
otic spirit in buying the gilt-edged
securities offered by the state. Gov
ernor Edwards, State Comptroller
Bugbee and State Treasurer Read
hope to overcome the bankers ring
by having the Independent bankers
purchase the securities, issues of
which were approved by the elector-
ate in November last.
State Comptroller Bugbee at the
recent convention of the New Jersey
State Bankers Association in Allan
tic City urged the members of that
organization to buy up the proposed
bond issues. The bankers respond
ed by delegating a committee to
handle the proposition. Dewitt c..
Van Buskirk, chairman of the bank
ers' committee, yesterday submitted
proposals to purchase both soldiers
bonds and the bridge and tunnel is-
sue at par, providing the court OF
errors and appeals could be sum-
moned in special session to pass
upon the validity of the securities.
Attorney General McCran, who
would bring such suit, told the
State House Commission the bond
issues constitute a valid and binding
obligation upon the part of the state.
This did not satisfy the bankers
committee, which submitted bids
with the condition that they would
be purchased if the court would be
called to pass upon them. Independ-
ent banks submitted bids averaging
1O1. which did not meet the expec-
tations of the commission.

CHEMICAL WARFARE

GENERAL pEBENEY DECLARES CHEMISTS THE DECISIVE ELF

gun has created an area of several acres covered with an atmosphere of strychnine; those bushes down there may breathe out an invisible wave or death.
 sThe poor infantryman will stagger along under an enormous mask, cov- cred with a shapeless and gas-proot cloak. and protected, as to the feet, with insulated soles, Chemistry makes nc attempt to preserve manly beauty, and worries itself still less in regard to the feelings of the woman who may have the desire to recognize, under the disguise of this hideous dlverlike cos tune, the beloved features of the her oic husband, son or sweetheart. Poor woman
 Against attacks by airships bar rages will be launched--no longer the infantile barrage fire of explosives shrapnel, but barrages of tenuous gas that will create in the air vast pois- oncd "pockets" in which the unhappy pilot will meet with instant death; pockets of hydrogen, which will burst into flame as the air from hundreds of flexible cables, contact with which will smash propellers and destroy both pilot and machine. The air will be filled with ambushcs and snares.
 "On the terrestrial battlefield gas tight tanks will be used in front of the infantry, fitted with apparatus whose reaction will reveal the presence of hidden gas and enable the pilot imme- diately to launch counter-gas, while seif-propelled watering cars would de- luge the poisoned ground with an an- tagonistic liquid"
 General Debeney believes that chemical attack and defense will tend to offset each other provided that the rival nations are equally skilled. The expert chemist will find way tc ncutralize poison gases. However the French veteran concludes, the na- tion that fails to develop chemical re- search and chemical industries will be powerless against highly skilled in vader even tho the attacking forces might be inferior numerically.

Vast areas of war gases in the up- Der spaces in which aeroplane pilots will find instant death; pockets of hy- drogen which will burst into flame as as aeroplane enters them; attack de- fving barrages created by the chem ist-a complete system of chemical offense and defense--is the picture nainted by General Eugene Debeney commander of the French First Army during the war in describing the tac- ties that the general staffs of the leading nations of the world are now endeavoring to perfect.
 If hostilities had been drawn out for d few months longer" says Gen eral Debeney, the war of explosives would have become struggle be tween the manufacturers ot gases

 Saddle" and Stopped Runaway.
 George Cazee's Ford wouldn't stay hitched at the postofIiee Wednesday afternoon and gave the young motor ist trouble in halting the runaway. George transfers the mail from the postotiice to the depot and vice versa, and on one of his regular trips Wednesday left the ear standing in the usual place in the rear of the federal building. While inside the postotllce, the restless Ford started moving and despite frantic calls of whoa and Cazee's efforts to hold the car back, it ran down the stone steps on Maple avenue and out into the street An electric light pole nar- rowlly missed getting bumped. Find ing he couldn't stop the Ford by pull ing on the back straps, the young driver let loose and sprinted fast enough to head 1t up and get into the seat, where proper manipulation of brakes soon checked the runaway. The car travelled nearly a block be- fore being stopped.
