The reorganization of the Bureau
of Investigation has been nearly COM
pleted. Mr.. Burns stated that when
he had been appointed to the position
that he now held, Attorney General
Daugherty was not satisfied with the
way things had been run. He wanted
TO put the bureau on a business-like
basis. He wanted 10 eliminate the
old. Anticipated way of catching Grim
inals = the flashing of badges, soft
shoe work and arrests without legal
authority.
Schools are now maintained in Chi
cago and New York for all who wish
to enter the work of the department..
Now, an applicant must take course
in one of the schools and pass
rigid examination before he is allowed
TO take up his duties.
The only complete statistical bu-
reau of crime in the country is now
being put into working order. AIR.
Burns said The Bureau of Identi-
fication and Information will soon
have a record of every known crim-
inal in the country. not only Of the
class of criminals with whom the gov
eminent deals, but with the class of
criminals with whom peace, county
and state officers come into cor
tact.

Through the action of the national
convention of police chiefs at the re-
cent meeting in San Francisco. reso-
luton was passed recommending that

code. If. for instance. the police in
San Antonio were on the lookout for
a fugitive. his number could be trans
mitted to the Bureau OF Identification
and from there his fingerprints could
be sent by code 10 all parts Of the
country.
The primary purpose OF the Blu

crime. Criminals have more or less
common sense and when they learn
that scientific and energetic efforts
are put forth for their apprehension.

GAS T0DECIDE
FUTURE WARS,
SAYS EXPERT
May Put Whole Armies to
Sleep Is Years
Hence

New York, Aug. 22.-Whole armies
put to sleep. and taken prisoner in
gas warfare is by no means an i'm
/, possibility, 25 years hence, Col Ray
mond F.. Bacon, chief of the Techni-
cal Division of the Chemical Warfare
Service, A. E. F., says in a descrip-
tion Of the possibilities of the future
art Of war made public by the Amer
+; ican Chemical Society.
The $2,OO0.O0O spent on the re-
search organization did more toward
twiaaing the war, Col. Bacon asserts.
than. any other 100000, 900 spent in
other ways. One Of the greatest
lessons, Of the war has 50 far gone
almost .unheeded, according to Col
Bacon, who continues:
"To say the use Of gas in warfare
must, be abolished is almost the same
as saying, that no progress must be
made in the. art of warfare toward
making it more efficient or more hu-
name. If one reads of the great bat
ties Of history, one will find that the
victorious general conquered his en-
emy usually because of the fact that
he so chose his position az to have
his flank protected by river, noun
tain range or some naturally strong
barrier.
much of the strategy Of these
battles consisted in manoeuvering SO
rs to obtain the advantage of posi-
tion. With the use of gas it is. pos
sible to saturate piece of ground
SO that no troops can cross it, and
thus make an artificial barrier for
the flank or protect the lines. of
communication. Moreover. these ar
tificial barriers can be kept barriers
for just rs short time as the stra-
tegy of the particular battle demands.
These are but hints, but show the
tremendous unexploited possibilities
of gas in warfare.
Zone can easily imagine the situa-
tion at the time the fighting was
hand to hand with the spear or the
sword, and gunpowder was first in
troduccd, which in those days per-
haps permitted the antagonists to
fight at range of 100 or 200 yards
There must have been great outcry
as to prohibiting the horrible new
mode of warfare, and it must have
been. felt that it was very unfair to
stand, off 200 yards rather than to
meet in combat man> to man.
"But no one looking back on that
period would attempt to say that il
was possible to have stayed the hand
of progress and to have prevented by
any legislation or agreement the use
Of gunpowder in warfare. Moreover.
the consensus of opinion today would
be that the hand to hand fighting
with spear and sword was more cruel
and inhumane than the fighting with
the gun and the bullet. Similarly, at
the present time we cannot effectual-
~ stay the progress Of science, and
to attempt to do so is not only un-
wise but is also preventing the pos
sibilities Of really more humane
type Of war"
