One can easily imagine the situa-
ton at the time the lighting was hand
to hand with the spear or the sword.
and gunpowder was first introduced,
which in those days perhaps permitted
the antagonists to fight at a range OF
100 or 200 yards. There must have
been great outcry as to prohibiting
the horrible new mode of warfare, and
IL 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 1t
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 effectually
stay the progress Of science. and to
attempt to do so is not only unwise
but is also preventing the possibilities
of really more humane type of war;

GAS Will DECIDE
WARS OF FUTURE
Expert Declares That Modern
Warfare Depends on It

New York, Aug. 24.-Whole' armies
put to sleep and taken prisoner in gas
warfare is by no means an impossl-
bility rs years hence, Col Raymond
F.5Bacon, chief of the Technical divi-
sion of the Chemical Warfare service,
A. E. f. says In description OF the
possibilities of the future art of war
made public by the American Chemi-
cal society.
The 100000 spent on the re-
search organization did more toward
winning the war, Col. Bacon asserts,
than any other 5000, 900, 900 spent in
other ways. One of the greatest les
sons of the war has SO far gone al
most nnheeded, according to Col Ba-
con. who continues:
ITO say the use of gas in warfare
must be abolished is almost the same
as saying that no progress must be
made In che art of warfare toward
making it more efficient or more hui
name. II one reads of the great bat
ties of history, one will find that the
victorious general conquered his err
envy usually because of the fact that
he SO chose his position as to have
his flank protected by river, mountain
range or some naturally strong bar
rier.
Much of the strategy of these bat
ties consisted in maneuvering so as to
obtain the advantage of position.
With the use of gas it is possible to
saturate a piece of ground so that no
troops can cross it, and thus make an
artificial barrier for the flank or pro-
tect the lines of communication.
Moreover, these artificial barriers can
be, kept barriers for just as short
time as the strategy of the particular
battle demands. These are but hints,
but show the tremendous unexpected
possibilities of gas in warfare.

SWEDEN FACES NEED
OF HELPING FARMERS
Crucial Problem Because Agriculture
Has Failed to Keep Pace with
General Recovery From War

Stockholm, Aug. "a. - crucial
problem in Sweden has arisen from
the failure of agriculture to keep pace
with the general recovery from post
war depression. In the effort TO help
the farmers to fairer profits on their
the Riksdag and govern
ment have studied the question of re-
stricting the imports Of grain, and eff
ficiency experts, following scientific
agricultural research, have suggested
ways and means of reducing the cost
of production. But all this SO far has
been of little help.
The farmers are at an economic
disadvantage because, while the gen:
eral price index in Sweden has come
down to 10 per cent above the pre-
war prize level, the selling price for
grain has been forced down to 10 per
cent above the pre-war level.
New Britain herald., 1923-08-24

A crying need at present is the
downward revision of wages for farm
labor. which are more than so per
cent above the average for 1914.

called by the minister of agriculture,

GIRL DEPUTY SHERIFF
PREVENTS JAIL BREAK
Battles Prisoner at BelIefonte, Pa.
TIL Help Comes and the Rush
Is Put Down

Bellefonte. Pa, Aug ga jail de-
livery was frustrated here yesterday
through the bravery of Miss Marion
Dukeman, daughter of Sheriff Harry
Dukeman, who is acting as her faith
er's deputy.
When she and two trustees took
dinner to the prisoners. one of them
pushed her through the doorway and
rushed into the hallway of the sher-
ifs residence. Miss Dukeman Crap
pied with the man and screamed for
her father, who had Just returned
home. The prisoner broke away from
Miss Dukeman and struck the sheriff
twice with an iron bar. The young
woman grasped the weapon and the
sheriff succeeded In knocking the
prisoner down.
In the meantime Miss Dukeman OBJ
tanned a revolver and fired one shot
ut the prisoner but missed him. Other
prisoners attack the two trustees one
of whom was hurt so badly he had
to be sent to the hospital. They were
finally overpowered and locked in
their cells.
The escape was said to have been
planned by three prisoners who es-
capped from the. Rockview penitentiary
in June, and, who. after recapture re-
fused to plead guilty. They were kept
in steel cells, but an investigation
showed that all the locks had been
broken.

ADMINISTRATION ENDS
AS AGREEMENTS ARE NEAR
Harding's Death Comes just When he
Seemed About to Get Settlement
OF Foreign Problems
Nv The Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press.
Washington, Aug. 3. - The tragic
end of President Hardings admins
tration came at time when several
of the major projects Of his foreign
nolicy appeared to be nearing de-
cision.
One of the influences impelling MIN
10 take the trip which ended with MS
death was his desire to carry TO the
country his advocacy of American ad-
herence to the world court.
Within a few weeks the naval lin
itation treaty, regarded by Mr.. HARD
ing as a lasting monument to MS serV-
ice Is to become an actually.
= Discussions proceeding at Mexico
CITY are expected here to result very
soon in a resumption of amlcanle re-
lations between the two countries,
while at Lausanne a treaty Is ready
for signature restoring the relation
ship between Washington and Con-
stantinople which was interrupted by
the world war.
1t is assumed that the pending ne
gotiations will be held in allegiance
until the new president has given his
authority for their completion.
Mr. Harding was preparing to carry
forward when congress assembled the
battle he launched in his original
ge recommending membership
in the world court.
He was convinced there lay open a
road to world peace. 1t seemed the
irony of fate that on the very day of
his death there had been given official
expression in Washington to the ex-
pectation that any hour would see the
Mexican agreement concluded.
Curiously enough on the far side of
the world at the same moment a sim
liar situation prevailed, and the Turk
ish- American treaty of amity and
commerce was on the verge of sigma
Grew at Lausanne.
