BATTLES OF SLEEP,
NOT BULLETS, SEEN
Colonel Pictures War of Fu-
ture With Armies Caught
in DreamIand.

Whole armies put TO sleep and
taken prisoner In gas warfare is by
no means an impossbility twenty-five
years hence. Col. Raymond +. Bacon
chief Of the technical division of the
chemical warfare service, A. Il. f..
saws in a description of the poSsibil-
tiles of the future of war, made public
by the American Chemical Society.
II can easily imagine" says Col.
Bacon, the official communique of
the battle of Patagonia Il quarter of
q century from now, which would
read as follows:
Last night at 10 o'clock our air
planes sprayed on the enemy's posi-
tion new gas, soporite. This gas
has the effect of putting man to sleep
for six hours. At l am. our troops
advanced into the sections held by the
enemy. disarmed the sleeping enemy
and the whole enemy army facing
this sector is now being sent to the
rear as prisoners. The number of
guns and other equipment captured is
enormous. We suffered no casualties.
BLANK.
General in Command.
No Fairy Tale.
Il realize that this sounds like 4
fairy tale rather than statement
made with serious purpose, but it
is not beyond the possibility. In fast.
it is in line with the trend of research
in this ficld.'
The 100000 spent on the re-
search organization did more toward
winning the war. Col. Bacon asserts.
than any other 5000. 100000 spent in
other ways. One of the greatest les
sons OF the war has so far gone al
most unheeded. according to Col
WAGON
This lesson was that large scale re-
search can solve almost any problem.
We had in Washington n research or
saniZdtion in which were gathered
many of the best brains of the country
That research organization was able
TO solve every problem put UP TO it
by those in command of the military
forces. 1t showed that things whicn
be done and done i'll a rather short
time by research where there were
adequate resources of brain power and
apparatus.
Would Save Expenses.
IF this government would efficiently
spend d few million dollars a year on
war research, methods would surely
be devised which would make us alb
Solutely safe from attack without the
necessity OF maintaining such extern
sive Army and Navy organizations as
at present.
This is not an idle prophecy. Any
one who will intelligent'y study what
was done by our research organizat ation
at American University in new and
unsolved problems will be convinced
that the statement above made is
really conservative.
ITO 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 enemy

SELLING OUR ELECTRIC PLANT

SELLING OUR ELECTRIC PLANT
Well, it looks like as though Hamil-
ton is going out of the electric cur
rent business after all. The Unioa
Gas and Electric Company made a
proposal last week to Mayor Koehler
covering the electric light and power
situation that far surpasses the
original proposition, so far as the
city's welfare is concerned, which
Mayor Koehler could not very well
ignore. Mayor Koehler, in all his
campaign speeches, said that he was
of open mind on this matter, that
whenever it could be shown that cur
rent can be bought cheaper than what
the city could make it for, or that it
would be better for the citizens at
large, to sell the local plant and go
out of the business of making our own
current, just that soon woud he favor
such plan

negotiating for terms but, like the

OUR RIGHT TO ORGANIZE

Organize" has been the watchword
Of the American Federation of Labor
for years. Educate" has been like
wise slogan of labor for years.
There are no better words today
no better guides to complete free
dom, no better guides to the develop
ment of that industrial democracy
which has come to be the dream of
mankind and the hope of the race.
We claim the right to organize as
workers. We claim the right to have
2 say in making the conditions under
which the workers shall be employed,
and the right of collective bargaining.
We claim that the hours Of employ
tment should be reduced to the point
where the health and safety of the
workers must be safeguarded.
If those who seek to destroy the
trade unions are successful in their
efforts they will not have succeeded
in solving the labor problem or in any
| way help to improve the industrial
and economic conditions of the coun-
try, but will widen the breach be-
tween the employer and employe.
Such a movement, if successful,
would create a condition of radical
ism and anarchy which would be un-
comfortable. All of the things which
are offered today as remedies have
proven failures and instead of settling
the workers problems they have done
nothing except to create bitterness
and antagonism between the workers
and the employers. That is not solv
ing industrial unrest
Organization establishes and main
tains high standards of living for the
American working man and his FAM
lily. 1t eliminates the things that
stand in the way Of social and eco
nomic justice for all. All labor wants
and insists upon having is the same
right that is given to everyone else
under the law. 1t will steadily refuse

THE JOURNAL INDICATED?


The Journal takes much delight in
its "vindication" of the stand it took
en- the electric light and power stu
alton The Journal is glad that
Mayor Koehler changed his mind"
The Press, however, disagrees little
bit with the Journal in it's claim of
vindication From all that has been
said and learned, Mayor Koehler has
not changed his mind" That is, he
has not changed his mind so far as
the original proposition as made by
the Hamilton Service Company is con-
cerned, and which proposition the
Journal so heartily advocated accept
ing. The last proposal of the Union
Gas and Electric Company, and the
one which Mayor Koehler, his advis-
ory committee and some of our most
prominent big business men look on
with favor, is much better, more
liberal and broader one than was the
original proposal If this last pro
posal holds and prevails the whole
city will be largely benefited over
the first proposal made, the one which
the Journal insisted should be ac-
cepted. SO that Mayor Koehler did
not change his mind" he simply
made much better deal for his con
stituents, and for which he deserves
much credit. Where does the Journal
come in for vindication? The Journal
was wrong. Had Mayor Koehler ac-
cepted the proposal as originally
made Hamilton's citizens would have
been the loser thereby.

wise business man, he could not from
day to day make known to the people
at large his efforts. AS result, last
week the Union Gas and Electric Com
pany made a proposa1 which Mayor
Koehler felt worthy of consideration
and it could not be ignored. He called
q meeting of his advisory committee
and many other business and profes-
sional men and labor leaders. To them
Mayor Koehler submitted the Union
Gas and Electric Company's PROPOSE
ton. After lengthy discussion and
going over the whole matter in a
thorough manner, those present at
the meeting unanimously advised
Mayor Koehler the acceptance of the
proposition submitted and that he so
recommended to city council. The
mayor agreeing and accepting this adj
vice laid the matter before council
Wednesday evening together with his
recommendation to accept. Council
agreed, two republican members re-
fusing to vote, and passed an ordi-
nance authorizing the sale of the city's
electric distributing and street light
ING system for the sum of not less
than S500,000. This means just as
soon as all matters can be arranged
Hamilton quits the electric power and
light business.
The Press at all times in the past
has advocated municipal ownership.
The Press has always believed that
municipal ownership was the best for
the city at large. The Press, how
ever, doesn't believe in taking stub
born stand where the best interests of
all are concerned so that, if Mayor
Koehler. whom everyone knows has
made deep study and carefully gone
over the whole situation, and his ad-
visory committee and the other busi-
ness men who were called into the
conference, say that the proposition
of the Union Gas and Electric Com.
pany is good thing for our peopie
and should be accepted, why, then the
Press, having every confidence in tht
honesty and best Judgment of these
gentlemen, concurs in the verdict. i
is hard, though, to think of giving VI
, municipal ownership. There isn't an!
Goubt whatever but that municipal
ownership has held down the rates o.
water, gas and electric current fol
Hamiltonians in the past. The Press
is not sure right now that the right
thing is being done in giving up tn,
electric light plant, but then all argu
ments favor such action. Time alons
will tell whether it was wise moys
or not. There is just one thing, how.
ever, the last proposition of the cleo
trio company is much better one
than was the original one, the one
turned down by Mayor Koehler, and
through it there will be saving OF
