FEAR BREEDS WAR
Lord Robert Cecil Analyzes Europe's $ Situation With Results Obtained to Show Wars Cause

London, Sept. 14. When we come to analyze the situation closely we find that the fear of war is the beginning of unwisdom,'' said Lord Robert Cecil recently discussing con- ditions in Europe. "Russias appre- hensions have been translated into vast armies withdrawn from repro ductive work, ill-fed, ill-clothed, ill., disciplined, and consequently a great CT menace to their friends or fellow citizens than to their enemies.
 Tn France the fear of war has led to the establishment of those armies of occupation on the Rhine that are costing bankrupt Germany more than one million pounds week-more than two thousand million marks
 Fear of war is leading a section of public opinion in England to de- mand a vastly increased air service, and still further concentration uopn scientific methods of slaughter. In all directions we find that knowledge is still harnessed to destruction; that the readiest means of money-making is to invent something that can destroy life and the products of life-energy faste, than nature can replace them. Be- hind all these manifestations lies fear"

DRUGGED AND ROBBED
Nine Emigrants From Central Europe Board Steamer to Escape Officials But Lose By Deal.

Havana. Cuba, Sept. 14.-Nine emil grants from Central Europe and one from China recently paid s150 each for 10-hour motor boat ride, a cup of drugged coffee and the privilege of footing it 35 miles back to Havana after being robbed of s1,500.
 According to the story they told the police, three men agreed to land them on the Florida coast without bother ing the American immigration au- thorities. Boarding motor boat at dusk near Marianao, they put to sea. At dawn the next day, after several hours deep slumber brought on by what they believe was drugged cof- fee. they were landd in a desolate cove, told they were on American soil and left to shift for themselves after all their cash and valuabes had been taken at the point of a pistol. A little scouting located the Cuban village of Jibacoa and a rural guard who pointed out the road to Havana.
 The police are holding a man who says he is an American, and a Cuban. charged as principals; the third man has not yet been found.

N. H. NOT INCLUDED
No Detailed Statement, However. Is Given Out By Railroad Officials Relative To Settlement

New Haven, Sept. 14-No addi- tional statement as tothe omission of the N. Y, N. H. and H. railroad from the strike settlement announc- ed from Chicago last night was avail- able at the offices of the company this morning other than what Vice President E. G. Buckland had said last night. Mir Buckland said that the New Haven road had had no part in the negotiations of B. M. Jewell for the striking shopmen with the exc cutives because a month ago it en- tered into an agreement with em- ployes who took the place of strik- CTS to protect their interests. Mir, Buekland added that the company found no occasion to enter into any other agreement and it had not done so
 President Pearson was absent to- day and it was not known whether or not the company would again define its attitude towards the shopmens settlement with certain other roads.

GAS MASK IS NOT
 UNIVERSAL GUARD
Army Protector Found, After Inves. tigation, Not to Afford Safety
 Against All Gases.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The army gas mask, in Its regular form, does not afford protection against all noxious gases. The gas mask lab oratory of the United States bureau of mines at Pittsburgh recently inves- tigated the army type of mask to de- termine It's fitness for use in work about smelters, blast furnaces or similar industrial operations. or pos sibly in mines. It also has tried to modify the mask for such use.
 The investigation developed that this type. while affording protection against all the gases met in warfare, does not afford protection against all gases met in industrial life. It does not protect against carbon monoxide, the gas hazard in coal mines, nor against Illuminating gas, natural gas ammonia and the products of com- bustion found in burning buildings,
 The bureau seeks to develop spe- cial types of masks suitable for diff ferent industries. that will serve to protect the wearer. The bureau has also done work on "universal' mas,, that would serve to protect the wear CT against all the gases in air com- monly met. A light weight form of this mask has been developed for use of city f1remen.
 The charcoal and soda lime filled canisters protect against certain acid gases and organic vapors, say bureau experts, but they should not be used in gasoline vapor. afford no protec- ton against ammonia or the carbon monoxide which may be found in products of combustion and in pro- ducer gas, coal gas, water gas and blast furnace gas

BARUCH OPPOSES
 CANCELLING DEBT
Would Insist First That England
 FOrego Preparations

Washington, Sept. 14-Inter-can- cellation of war debts by the allies and the United States as suggested by the Earl of Balfour, the British foreign minister in his recent note, could in the opinion of B. NJ. Baruch be considered by America only in event that Great Britain should re- nounce, as did this country, all repar- ation claims against Germany.
 Letter to senator Borah.
 Mir Baruch. who as head of the industries board who acted as eco- homie adviser to the American com mission to the Versailles peace con- ference, set forth this view together with other observations in war debt discussion in a letter received and read by Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, yesterday in the senate.
 The letter discussed the separations and war debt questions at length, its writer declaring it would be difficult to convince the American people that the allies were unable to repay the ten billion dollars loaned them by the United States during the war as long as they were demanding payment of at least that amount by Germany as separations.
 Mir Baruch dealt at length with suggestions put forward by some British spokesmen that the United States in considering the British debt should take into consideration that the money loaned to Britain was used largely to buy supplies in the United States.
 Use of Money Loaned.
 Surely money that was spent for things that went into the making of shipping, which became a permanent part of the mercantile fleet of Eng land or money that was used for the purchase of such material as went for commercial purposes, or to bol- ster exchange. or to pay for loans for materials obtained previously to our entering the war, if there were such, can by no conceivable reason be con- sidered contribution to a common cause and therefore should not be cancelled" he continued. The same applies in instances where food was bought for Englands civilian popu- lation, not for her soldiers, and was paid for by that population. It must be remembered that the English gov ernment did not give, but sold to it's people the food bought in this coun- try
 "On the other hand, in practically every instance where purchases were made in England by us after we en- tered war they were paid for in cash and not by mans of loan by Eng land to America. Again. America paid England for ferrying our soldiers to Europe"
