NEW YORK, Jan. 1e.-"Poison

but the most humane weapon or
warfare"
Brig. Gen. Amos A.. Fries, chief
of the Chemical Warfare Service,
thus answers persistent demands
that deadly gases be banned from

spoke before an association of gas
manufacturers. He supported his

gathered from the records Of the
world war and from all past his.
tory.
Gen. Fries based his brief for
poison gas on these general points.
l. Total number of casualties per
100.
.. Suffering and after-effects.
3. Ease with which troops can
defend themselves
The horror which poison gas has
inspired is due largely to supersti-
tion and breaks down before scien-
tific data, he said
The percentage Of casualties has
grown constantly less in all wars
since the beginning OF the Christian
era, Gen. Fries maintained. The
rate for the world war, In which
poison gas was used to a large ex-
tent for the first time in history,
was lower, he claimed, than in any
preceding conflict.
He denied absolutely that gas
casuals suffer serious after effects,
such as a marked tendency to con-
tract tuberculosis. This stand he
defended by quoting from the req
ords of the Public Health Service
and from the available data con-
cernfng gas casuals in the British,
French. Italian and German armies
says Sufferers Arc Duliards.
The sufferers from gas are the
billiards and the hair-brained, Gen.
Fries said. He pointed out that
the soldier whose mind is alert has
a perfect means OF defense against
gas, while the man who does not
think quickly is apt to suffer.
Gen. Fries said in part:
The rate Of dead to wounded has
constantly fallen from those days
OF Roman butchery to the present.
In our civil war the death rate was
higher in proportion to the wounded
rate than in the world war. not

COURT BROADENS
DRY MEMS RIGHT

Frankfort, KY, April 21. - Unless
moonshiners in Kentucky dig moat
about their premises and maintain all
entrances tightly closed they will be
unable to invoke the ancient Anglo
Saxon doctrine that "every mans
home is his castle" to protect their
stills against seizure and their use in
evidence against them, since the Court
of Appeals today refused in the case
of Lee Brent against the Common
wealth to extend the inviolability of
sanctuary to include wooded lot 400
yards from Brent's residence and
within sight of IL.
Brent was sentenced in Nelson
county to pay fine of $500 and serve
three months in Jail for moonshining.
The Court of Appeals in an opinion by
Judge Charles P. Moorman affirmed
the sentence.
