Formal approval OF the purchase
BY the Board OF Health OF a Nye

municipal crematory, which recently
burned, was given by City Council,
sitting in committee Of the whole
last night, with the proviso that the
city solicitor give his approval OF
the procedure.
At a meeting Tuesday night the
Health Board adopted resolutions
for the purchase Of the incinerator
at a cost Of $4,000. These resolu-
tions came before Council last even

Mr.. Abrahams explained that

that the Nye proposition was the

March. Chief Of STAFF of the United
States Army, who in opposing the
extension Of the Chemical Warfare
Service said that he would keep
those substances used in the manu-

ported into Germany, and thus keep
down the poison gas output. The
speaker said that from such simple
substances as salt, coke or charcoal
and air could be manufactured phos-
gene and chlorine.

"All that is necessary, therefore,
observed DR.. Bogert, ironically, "is
to remove from Germany all the salt
under ground, or close the salt mines,
and to exclude Germany from ac-
cess to the ocean; to place a SINH
lar ban upon the sulphur mines and
the smelling of sulphur ores; TO in
terdict the raising of sugar beets and
other sacchariferous crops, and to
cut down all the forests-since cell
lulose.. which is obtained from these
sources, can be converted into al
cohol. As all modern warfare de-
pends upon nitric acid and as nitric
acid is now being made from the
nitrogen of the air, Il is equally clear
that this manufacture can be easily
and completely stopped by excluding
the atmospheric also from Germany.
Except for these slight objections.
the plan is doubtless an admirable
one"
DR.. Begert declared that in or
Ter TO cope successfully with a ma
lion having such skill in chemistry
as has Germany it would be neces-
sary to have in this country a we'll
developed chemical warfare service.
The speaker was OF the opinion that
chemical warfare was yet In its TN
fancy, and that after It had run its
course the military art might also
invoke medical and biological war
fare which could be done by the
dissemination OF germs and disease.
He therefore maintained that the
military efficiency of the future
