Two Bills Similar.
The first bill to be introduced fol-

by Congressman Winslow, Republican,
OF Massachusetts, and a measure with
Identical provisions has been offered
IN the Senate by Senator Townsend

In spite Of the premier's statement

The war office contented itself WHIP

II know nothing regarding any
more horrible implements Of warfare
than were in use at the end OF the

is that the premier was simply talk

THE increased concentration of
these implements, together with high

gram when the war ended.
Radical Departure.
The radical departure, which,
however. was only in an embryonic
state, was a project to equip an I'M

which would be capable or an IN

ervoirs of liquid fire for attacking
enemy coasts. 1t was planned that
the fleet would suddenly appear along
an unprotected seaboard, rise to. the
surface and by use Of the pipes pro-
pei the fire onto the coast towns and
for many miles into the interior. in
flicting terrible devastation.
But that ambitious plan was not
completed. Undoubtedly Great Brit
