~ ESTABLISHMENT of an ad-
~ ministrative code, which
will. for the first time, make
clear just what the law is
for every federal department. di-
vision, bureau, commission, ooard
or other agency, is being seriously
considered as a very important aid
in facilitating consideration Of a
federal budget, as a guide IN re-
organization of the administrative
branch Of the government, and to
make the federal machinery run
more smoothly.
This long-needed code Is going

Congress to offset the objections OF
those who argue that the handling
of all appropriation bills by a sin

has not operated. and probably
will not operate successfully. under

of new legislation inserted by the
Senate to be brought back to the
House for separate vote be1ore

any objection to single appro-

those who have lost some author

Duty to Disabled Soldiers.
Facing problems for the care and
rehabilitation Of disabled soldiers, the
government is being put to the test OF
seeking the most practical methods
for procedure. The last and most per-
manent step appears to be in securing
work consistent with the applicants s
ability. There is much light work in
government departments in Washing
ton and elsewhere in the line of clerk
ship, messenger or manual service,
which could be well performed by
these men. For example, with the
present shortage of housemaids in
Washington, department elevator
work and other semi-light employ
ment could be handled by certain of
our rehabilitated men whose partial
compensation is not suffici ent to fully
provide more than their meager
wants. The problem of the future of
many of these men must be solved
otherwise. We may face increased de-
mand for compensation based on the
charge that insufficient encourage
ment for their independent employ
ment had not been forthcoming.

THE NAVY

The widespread discussion of the
bombing Of the former German bat
tleship Ostfriesland and other naval
craft to determine tho Likelihood Of
destroying such ships from the air
has apparently filed tho public mind
with the single thought that avia-
tons chief function is the bombing
of ships, Notifications and cities. The
newspaper stories of the lombard
ment of Paris and London during
the world war by German aircraft
also had its effect on the public
mind and the thought was developed
that aircraft used by the army was
primarily engaged in bombing. and
that the purpose of naval aircraft
in the war was for tho exclusive
purpose Of destroying submarines by
bombing.
Bombing from aircraft, though
highly desirable (accuracy in such
employment Of aircraft being abso-
lutaly essentially, tA however. only
one Of the many functions Of naval
aviation. Naval aviation is really q
tactical adjunct Of the deet- It might
be termed tho missing link" fur
nishins that agency with means for
co-ordinating all types Of surface and
sub-surfaoe craft into complete work
ing whole, subject to unified and rapid
tactical control by tho commander
in-chief.
Due to the fact that tho German
high seas feet was bottled UP by the
grand fleet during the war, allied
naval activities were chiefly con-
cerned in subduing the German sub
marine campaign. and naval aviation.
while often able to bomb, sometimes
sink and nearly always damage SUBJ
marines thus attacked, was primarily
used for the convoy Of shipping and
in locating submarines and notify
ing surface naval craft of their DO
sition. enabling the discharge Of depth
bombs on or around the underwater
boat. and this cooperation between
aircraft and surface craft finally solv-
ed the somewhat difficult question of
how best to combat submarine war;
faro
At tho present time, due to develop
ments since the war and as q result
OF the lessons learned during tho
war. naval aviation with tho feet is
used for shot spotting for both short
range and long-range firing, even be-
yond tho surfaces ships visible hori-
zon and to the limit Of her gun range.
Again. 1t is used for search and de-
fensive scouting, for long-range
reconnaissance patrol. for protection
against submarine and torpedo at
tack. for coast defense patrol against
mine laying and submarine cam
paigns. for launching torpedoes
against enemy surface craft, for lay
ing smoke barrages, and. of course, for
bombing enemy surface ships. It will
be readily understood that in order
to carry out these functions in the
presence of an enemy with an air
force ones own air force must be
strong enough numerically to attack
and defeat tho enemy aircraft, thus
gaining control Of the air for ones
own feet

While this proposed plan may have
supporters in this country as well
as in Great Britain. its reception with
favor is by no means certain. In the
first place, there is a strong element
in this country which desires to go
about the matter of reduction of
ornaments in as practical way
as possible, without attempting to
disturb industrial conditions in Ger
many or elsewhere. This group be-
lieves that naval disarmament among
the great powers is the only feasi-

mated expenditures over prospec-
tive revenues Is shown, it will be
obligatory upon the President to
show how the excess is to be met
either by increases in taxes or
increases in the public debt. II tho
budget shows an excess of pro-
spective revenues over estimated

will recommend either a reduction

This is the great advantage of
bringing the two sides of the ac-
count together at one and the

tage is not to be lost. it is desir-
able that Congress. in considering

constantly keep in mind the fac

by surplus or by a deficit. This
can be done only where q single

Control Dangerous Gases.


It is believed by officers of the
time Is ripe for the government to
formulate a definite policy in regard
to the manufacture and control OF
poisonous chemicals and gases. Many
of these prducts. it is claimed, are alb
solutefy essential for commercial use,
but might, If placed in improper
hands, prove a serious menace to the
country.
and sciences Of certain chemicals.
these officers point out, may be Illus
trated In the use Of chlorine. which,
for example, Is very extensively used
in water puridcation. bleaching proc
esses, gold mining and all sorts of
laboratory work. Phosgene is very
largely used in tho manufacture Of
brilliant dyes-green, yellow, violet
and red. Chloropicrin is used to some
extent in the manufacture of violet
dyes, and possibly in Photographic
processes. Hydrocyanic acid gas has
very great use in the destruction
of insects. particularly in the citrous
show that chloropicrin, cyanogen-
chloride and bromide can
be successfully used in killing insects
such as the weevil in wheat and like
insects that infest grain: likewise
they kill rats and other rodents, Phos-
gene also has large field of useful
ness in the determination Of rats.
1t is claimed that another and very
great use is going to be made Of cer-
tain gases in the near future for
breaking UP mobs and for forcing
desperadoes out of buildings or SINH
lar places in which they may take
refuge. This use will undoubtedly be
extended to putting down outbreaks
in jails and penitentiaries. and to a
still greater use in the protection of
bank vaults, safes and other places
where money or very important pa
pers are stored. Already a consider
able number of applications have
been received by the War Depart
ment for gases or processes for maxi
ing gases. or Information as to where
gases can be purchased, with a view
to using them in safes and vaults.
incidentally, mustard gas is gener-
ally referred to, presumably because
of a news item to the effect that a
certain bank protected itself by the
use of mustard gas in its safes. But
mustard gas is very unsuitable for
that purpose.
1t would appear. according to these
officers, that the government should
do ono Of two things: First, manu-
facturo all poisonous gases and keep
q complete and accurate record Of
every person to whom gases arc sold
or issued. and then to require such
persons to furnish a further COM
plete and accurate record Of the use
