PROPHECY
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright, 1921. by Frank Crane)

Some scientific gentleman, whose name escapes me
now declared that the human mind some time or other
ought to be so developed that it could read the future
as well as the past
This state of things has hardly yet come to pass,
and the foreteng Of the future is still confined mostly
to Queen Alice who occupies the third floor back on
side street Most scientists whose names are followed
by large sections of the alphabet in capital letters are
chary of the foretelng business.
Still, it ought to be possible to predict in general
way by simply noting the progress OF the past and the
trend of the present.
1t ought not to be an outrageous assumption to
declare that in time regular fleet of transatlantic
liners will fly in the air from London to New York;
that the next will see whole populations EXTERN
mated by poison gas that the future household will
be almost entirely electrical that water power and
the energy of the will day take the place OF
coal that some combustible product of vegetable
matter will replace gasoline in automobiles, and SO on
At least, no one deny that we are headed in
this direction
Apropos of this, we find in an old book written
by the Marquis d'Argenson, in $780, the following
passage which, at this time, makes curious reading;
"We have right to call the idea a mad one
am persuaded that Of the discoveries to be
made is the art of flying in the air. 1t is in this
that men shall travel swiftly and comfortably, and
shall even carry merchandise, in great flying vessels.
There will be aerial armies Our present Notifications
will become useless The artillery will have to learn to
shoot the wing We will have to have in the king
dom new ministry, that of Secretary of State for
Aerial Forces The science of physics should lead us
to this discovery. Why should we not initiate the fly
ing birdsW
We can easily understand that this prophecy of
d Argenson was Judged and pished and tushed as
roundly by the practical of his day as ever the
piping prophets Of the future condemned now And
yet, voa
Of course, prophecy is an easy business that calls
only for lively imagination, but we do not speak of
those prophecies which the voicngS of fancy
but rather of those which are logical projections of
tendencies now in full operation

TumuItx, Campaign Manager

We learn from the January Forum that Joseph
p Tumuty is grooming Secretary Hoover for the
presidency We are prepared to hear almost
anything but skepticsm increases the more we
hear. The Forum has learned that Mr.. Tumulty is
not only going to bring Mr. Hoover out but is going
to manage his campaign.
We suppose that Mr.. Hoover will hear Of this
arrangement with surprise. We do not know
whether he aspires to the presidency. but we
imagine If he does he would the assistance OF
some one less intimately associated with Mr.. VIII
sons administration, which rightly or wrongly has
been repudiated by large an element OF the
try On what ticket Mr. Tumulty proposes to
Mr. Hoover, the Forum does not disclose Such
campaign management would not appeal strongly to
republicanism and Mr.. Tumulty belongs to wing
of democracy which is not now very influential in
that party.
At one time Mr.. Hoover, of patriot than
a partisan. supported the contention of Mr.. Wilson
that he should have Democratic congress He was
not alone among Republicans who felt that way, and
it assumed that in the peculiar circumstances in
which the country found ITSELF the president should
be allowed a congress in harmony with him. Per-
haps he would been allowed it If he had asked
for it less tactlessly not at ALL
If thick and thin Republicans held Mr. Hoover's
attitude against him at that time, they now.
His later position the question of the League Of
Nations reestablished him in his party If he needed
reestabshment.
But his position with respect to the League Of
Nations regarded by the president as desertion.
He could not comprehend that Mr.. Hoover or any
could assent to his view in thing without
cepting unquestionngly his leadership in everything
The bitter sentiment of the president toward Mr..
Hoover the last year of his administration makes
still more unbelievable the story that Mr.. Tumulty
is planning presidential campaign for him.

1t is to be hoped that travel the highways
OF America will be safer through the remaining 363
days of this year than it In 1921 when it is
estimated 10000 persons killed More than half
killed at grade crossings There were the
highways million and a half non-fatal injuries
An investigation of the causes of accidents has
shown that motorst in three is careless at grade
crossings approaching the crossings at reckless speed
and without paying attention to approaching trains
On Southern Pacific lines alone, in three years
1909 motor and trucks were wrecked at cross
ings In 400 the motorists into trains; in
122 they broke through crossing gates. Nine
crossing flagmen down by motor cars and
forty three collided with danger signals
An interesting fact shown by the investigation
is that in other than crossing accidents, highways
a majority of them not at curves but on long
stretches of road and that majority are not due to
slxidding but to speeding and reckless driving.
The fatalities have grown, year to year, out of
proportion the increase in the number of automo-
bies in use. In 1918 there 9542 fatalities; in
1919 there 1926 and in 1920 10000 The fatali-
ties that year cost accident companies s4,5oOooO.

CHEMICALS IN WARFARE

never observed permanent disabili-
ties resulting from exposure to these
gases, and that as a matter of fact,
during the many years these chem
icals had been manufactured, the
question had never come up before
Figures for the army and navy, ex-
Guiding the marine corps, show that
in the World war 258,336 men were
injured. OF this number 34,249 died
on the field of battle. There were
1851 who died in hospitals. OF this
number, 70,552 were suffering from
gas alone, and only 1921 died. Brig.
Gen. Amos A. Fries, chief Of the
chemical warfare service Of the
United States army, estimates that
less than 200 men actually died on
the field of battle as a result of gas
attacks, since concentration Of gas
sufficient to kill within II hours was
seldom obtained Assuming that 200
died on the battlefield from chemical
attacks, General Fries pointed out.
the total deaths from gas would be
1,441, less than 2 per cent of the TO-
752 gas cases.
OF the 1S7,5S6 injured by bullets
and high explosives. 46,449 died. or
more than "a per cent. It is evident
from these figures that the man in
iured by gas alone had more than 12
times as good a chance of recovery
as the man injured by high explosive
shells or bullets.
Other comparisons are quite as
striking The official records show
that &C men were totally blinded in
the war, A were partially blinded in
both eyes, and 644 were blinded in
one eye. These include eyes de-
stroyed, or those in which the sight
was lost. OF the gassed patients
four were blinded in both eyes. and
25 in one eve, a total of %. These
20 were 3.S5 per cent of all those
suffering blindness in one or both
eyes. In other words, bullets and
| high explosives were responsible for
25 times as many blinded as was
chemical warfare.
Chemical Warfare a Peace Insurance
'In defending chemical warfare -
says General Fries, I'VE are not plead
ing for war; we are pleading for
peace. To the practical man the
only way peace can be brought about
in the world-we mean permanent
peace-is to make war so powerful
and so quick and so certain against

the armed forces of the enemy that
war will become intolerable.
mo chemical warfare officer has
ever defended frightfulness in war"
the general continued. "The whole
service is strongly against the use
of gas as well as bombs or artillery
shells against cities or other groups
of unarmed men, women and chill
dren. They believe, however, that
there should be no Limitation on the
use Of these weapons against the
armed forces of an enemy, whether
on land or sea. Each side, knowing
that gas is to be trsed, will provide
itself with masks and gas proof
clothing and win suffer less deaths
and permanent disabilities by far
than il the same number of men
were injured by other methods. Mod
ern war has aimed at putting men
out of action as far as possible with
out killing or permanently injuring
them. The records of the war show
conclusively that gas is beyond ques-
tion the best war material ever in
vented for that purpose"
Chemical Plants Admit of Indus
trial Use
Many of the war gases have great
peace time uses. Most of those
which have not such uses are made
by the same classes of machinery
and by the same methods as our
medicines, our perfumes, our photo
graphic chemicals, our dyes and even
our phonograph records. In some in
stances there is needed only one shift
In a process to make a valuable
chemical compound into a powerful
gas. An example OF this is the
change in the manufacture of indigo
to mustard gas.
1t follows, therefore, that prepara-
tion for chemical warfare is highly
economical, requiring no large out
lay of funds during peace times. Dur
ing the war chemicals cost about
$3.50. 900. 600, while for other war ma
terials handled by the ordnance de-
partment about $4,000. 100000 was
spent Yet ii is known now that at
the conclusion Of the struggle the
Germans dreaded chemical attacks
and attacks from the air more than
anything else.
It is evident according to General
Fries, that a nation with a large de-
velopment of commercial airplanes,
and a thoroughly developed chemical
industry, could wage a tremendously
powerful war without single cannon
or machine gun. According to the
general, gases will put out OF COM
mission from three to ten times as
many enemy soldiers as bullets and
high explosives, but the deaths would
only be about one-tenth as great as
from old style fighting.
"If an army unpreparec with gas
should meet an enemy thoroughly
prepared to use gas, utter disaster
would befall the nation unprepared,"
General Fries said. "The unpre-
pared army could not face the pre-
pared army for a day. and with air.
planes pursuing, could not escape.
There would be only one thing-an-
Inhalation or surrender"

WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan 3-The
next war, if it comes, will in all like
hhood be fought to a large extent
with chemicals. The amazing devel-
opment of this form of warfare in
the late world struggle coupled with
the fact that peace time commercial
chemical plants can be transformed
Immediately into formidable muni-
tion plants is sufficient to guarantee
this.
Contrary to general popular opin-
ion, fighting with gases is said to
be far more humane than other
forms of warfare. The measure OF
humanity in war is the number of
deaths and permanently injured in
relation 10 the total number injured.
The surgeon general of the army in
his latest annual report published in
teresting figures to prove that chem
ical warfare is more humane than
conflict with bullets and high eX-
plosives.
The blame for every conceivable
sort of illness has been laid at the
door of war gases, including diseases
of the central nervous system. heart
and blood vessels, the respiratory
tract and the digestive system. This
was because chemical warfare on a
large scale was new, and little was
known of the after effects. But a
careful study of the subject has been
made by the war department during
the past eight months, during which
time some $500 letters were sent out
to leading medical people throughout
the world to obtain their views Also,
1900 claims for war risk benefits
were examined
The result of this thorough inves-
ugation led to the inescapable con-
clusion that gas, on the whole, causes
no permanent disabilities. 1t was
fund by investigation not only here
but in Germany, England, France
and Switzerland, that there is no
direct evidence that tuberculosis is
an after effect afflicting gas victims
In addition to this phase of the
investigation, letters were sent tC
manufacturers of chlorine, heavy
chemicals, and other materials that
produce gases similar to those used
in war. The answer to: these letters
in every case was that they had

She tried to sing, but her voice JUST

Smoothing his horses chestnut name
He drew his bride in the shade

He asked a drink from the spring
that flowed
Through the meadow across the road
Il love the fall, and the hay-ano

Said the judge. "Ahem! Kerchoo!
Kerchoo!"
She stopped where the cool spring
bubbled up,
And filled for him her small tin cup
And blushed as she gave 1t, hanging
her head
To hide the fact that her nose was
red.
"Thanks!" SAID the judge; IT'S a

Then he spoke Of the grass and the
