gas war IS ON
WAY;PREPARE!'
Don't Cease Manufacture of
Poison Fumes, British
Expert Warns
THINKS GERMAN
PEACE is JOKE
1Rv N. E. A. service.)

LONDON-Instead OF dismantling
their war chemical plants. the world
powers should develop to the great
est extent their ability TO produce
dyestuffs and poison gas.
II they do not, they face extermi-
nation in the gas clouds of another
great war in which poison gas will
be the most important medium of
offense.
That's the belief Of Major Victor
Lefcbure expressed in a book he
has just brought out.
Lefebure is England's greatest
authority on chemical warfare. He
served with a gas unit on the British
front in France. Later he was
British chemical warfare laison
officer
His statement is directly opposed
to the recommendation of the
American advisory committee at the
Washington arms conference that
the manufacture OF poison gas be
prohibited.
National safety demands strong
organic chemical industries" Lefe-
bure says.
mo convention, guarantee or dis
armament safeguard will prevent an
INSCRIPTIONS enemy from using
poison gas.
Especially II that enemy has dis
covered some new powerful agent or
possesses a ready means of produc-
ing such chemicals at a moments
notice.
"Our chemical industry should be
developed so that when an emer-
gency develops we shall have the
necessary facilities for supply at
hand"
Lefebure points to gas as the
logical offensive medium of future
wars.
Gas almost had superseded artil-
lery by the close Of the World War
Lefebure says. In 1918 German
guns were firing so per cent. gas and
SO per cent. high explosives.
The disarmament of Germany has
been a joke, the British expert de-
clares. Germany has been deprived
only OF her small arms and artillery
her gas facilities remain.
German gas during the World War
was supplied by the Interessenge-
meinschaft. n vast combine of
chemical factories.
Since the war that combine still
exists and its ability TO produce gas
is as great as It was in the past.
The factories themselves are flour
ishing on peace time dye trade.
Lefebure does not accuse the In
teressengemeinschaft of plotting a
great gas war.
'But." he says, "the potential
menace is therei"

! er lines can be run to all parts of the
farm. The particular outfit shown
here lights all buildings on the farm.
II furnishes power to run such nee
essary farm machinery as cream
separators, grindstones. small lathes,
and also the household aids such as
washing machines, vacuum sweep
ers, electric irons, etc. It also can be
utilized to furnish power for a water
system. With a small force pump
there can be made available at all
times. running water which certain
ly helps considerably for washing,
cooking. bathing and other purposes.
These small power plants are cheap.
Their first cost Is nothing in COM
parison to the service they give.
Their upkeep is small. also. and for
the farmer who has seen the need
of mechanical help nothing could
be OF more benefit to him.
One thing that can be said in fav-
or OF these power plants is their sim
plicity and freedom from repairs
In the case Of the Westinghouse
outfit, all that is necessary to do is
to throw a switch. The rest of the
operation is automatic. The veriest
tyro OF mechanics is fully capable
of operating the power plant, so there
need be no objections on the grounds
20 funfamiliarity with machinery.
These power plants have brought
the comforts of civilization to the
farm and are finding greater favor
every day. Just as electricity has
been the greatest power for bene-
fetal work in our present method Of
living, the power plant has been the
biggest factor in improving con-
ditions on the farm.

Champ Buff RISKS Title

Johnny Buff, holder of the fly
weight d bantam titles, is one Of
the few boxing champions willing to
take a chance.
Buff won the bantam title on Sep
TENDER 23 at the Madison Square
Garden from Pete Herman. The
bout went the limit, fifteen rounds,
Buff being awarded the decision.
With two championships to his
credit, Buff would have been entitled
to rest on his laurels and gather in
lot Of soft money Most champions
would have handled the situation in
that manner.
Buff, however, soon proved him
self a somewhat different titleholder.
Instead of meeting a lot of third
raters in no-decision bouts, Buff de-
Tended his title within six weeks
after he won it.
Jack Sharkey was picked as a
logical contender. one of the bam-
tams believed to have a real chance.
Those who have contended that Buff
was a fiuke champion were COM
PEELED to retract their cruel words.
.Sharkey was decisively outpointed.
With a month from the Sharkey
bout, Buff is taking on another real
contender, Pal Moore, a more for
midable opponent than Sharkey.
He is scheduled to meet Moore at
Milwaukee December 15, in a ten
round bout
1t is refreshing to see a champion
of the Buff type. There really
should be some rule in boxing
whereby a champion would be COM
PEELED to defend his title at least
once every six months. Perhaps
every three months might be a short
enough time to allow between cham
pionship bouts.
