The Magic of Chemistry Which Makes Compound
of Value for One Purpose in War
and Another in Peace

(ToId IN Eight sketchesl
BY JOHN RAYMOND
WAR AND PEACE

The art of warfare is as old as the
race itself Warfare at first consisted
OF throwing stones at the enemy or
hitting him with club.
The art slowly progressed. The
catapult was used for hurting good
sized rocks and the bow and arrow
served its purpose in stand-off COM
bats. Thus it went for many cen-
turtles. Warfare consisted of ninety
per cent hand to hand work and per-
haps ten per cent of shooting from
distance.
Along about l34s an old monk found
that gunpowder when properly ignited,
gave vent to a pretty good sized noise.
England and France were at war and
the new invention was tried out at
the battle of Crecy with the result that
the horses became frightened at the
noise like thunder Losses were heavy
and gunpowder was voted success.
Warfare didn't advance greatly tor
centuries. To be sure many improve
ments in guns and explosives were
made but the basic principle remained
the only way to put an enemy out
of commission was to hit him with a
projectile.
On the morning of April ~, 1915,
warfare was revolutionized when a
cloud of Chlorine gas was sent over
the Allied trenches wiping out whole
regiments. This experiment proved
so successful that the war, opening as
/ did, 100 per cent explosive, ended
IS per cent chemical
These war gases are Of particular in

LEWIS CRITICISES
IN STRIKE CRISIS
d Declared Contrary to
Public Interest in Let
ter to Secy. Hoover.

The attempted fixing of coal
prices and the enooura cement OF
nonunion production, in the opinion
of John L. Lewis. president of the
United Mine Workers Of America
are contrary to the public intcres ST
and operate ito whct Ihe selfish
greed of those who are beneficial
ries" of Secretary Hoover's policy.
In a letter to Mr. Hoover, ycster-
day, Lewis denied that he misrep-
resented the situation with regard
to the "unconscionable crisis" now
obtaining by virtue of Mr.. HoOvE
er's moral agreement" with the
coal operators.
Secretary Hoover had telegraphed
Lewis Sunday night, declaring
statements unfavorable to action
taken in Washington, uttered by
the mine leader. had misrepresented
the situation.
1T is a matter of public knowl-
edge that you have officially sugs
gested to the coal operators that
$3.50 per ton is a fair price at the
mine" Lewis declared. 1T is also
a matter of public knowledge that
many of the same operators who
are now enjoying this most liberal
price were making contracts dur
ing the pre-strike period at prices
as low as $1.35 per ton.
This unfortunate situation was
not unforeseen by the representa-
tives of the mine workers. AS a
matter of fact. we have repeatedly
called attention to the predicament
in which the country would later
find itself and have accurately
forecast the astounding increase in
the price of coal which has come to
pass"

INSURGENTS ARISE
AGAINST COMPERS
Fight Against Administration
Forces Springs up in Elec-
tion of Treasurer.

CINCINNATI. June 13.-The first
sign of insurgency against the Comp
ers administration of the American
Federation OF Labor was disclosed
late today when Joseph A. Franklin.
head of the International Brother
hood Of Boilermakers and Iron
Shipbuilders. announced his candidacy
against Daniel Tobin of the Team
sters as treasurer of the federation
and member Of the executive council.
Franklin's candidacy. it was under
stood. had the backing of the rail-
road unions. Efforts are being made
to lire Up the United Mine Workers
and the Carpenters for him.
In Race to Finish.
When Tobin. the present treasurer,
he said he had no formal statement
to make, but declared he was 'in
the race to the very finish"
+ Tobins friends said he was as
sured by Gompers of his whole
hearted support. Some delegates
rather expected Gompers to keep his
hands off the contest in view of the
disagreement recently between Comp
ers and Tobin.
Against Ship Subsidy.
The federation's convention today
unanimously adopted a resolution
condemning the ship subsidy bill.
1t also set aside Wednesday. June

Britain Will Not Ask
Irish Oath of Allegiance

LONDON, June 13.-The Irish gov
ernment and the Irish parliament.
which has been summoned to meet
July /, will not be required to take
an oath of allegiance to the British
crown.
This was announced in the house
of commons today by winston
Churchill, colonial minister. follow
ing conferences between members
of the cabinet and Irish leaders
of several weeks.
The new government will be
chosen after the elections Friday
when a new Irish parliament Is to
be elected. Unless there are some
unexpected upsets, the new govern
ment will include most of those in
the present Irish ministry.
The decision not to require the
oath of allegiance was based,
Churchill explained, on the ground
that the, new Irish government will
remain a provisional one and that
the parliament to be chosen this
week will also be provisional and
not a Free State body. Uhis.
Churchill said. is In accordance
with the provisions of the ANGLO
Irish treaty. The new provistonal
government. it was stated. wfll
merely be required under the treaty
to sign a declaration pledSlng itself
to support the treaty.
This solution. it is believed, will
possibly prevent a split in the Irish
coalition between the Free State
group and the De Valera faction,
as the extremists had objected to
taking an gath Of allegiance.
