Wants Poison Gas
Warfare Developed.
for thenNext War

Claiming that America is not max
ing enough preparations for chemical
warfare, Brig. Gen. Amos E, Fries,
chief of the chemical warfare service
of the army, in his annual report to
the secretary of war, urges that this
country appropriate more money to
develop poison gases to compete with
rival capitalist countries.
In his report Unsuitable Means Of
Waging War;" he says in part:
ut must be recognized that there
is absolutely nothing inherent in
chemical warfare to prevent its con-
sideration as a logical and perfectly
justifable means Of waging war. 1t
borders on national suicide to neglect
proper preparations for a means OF
warfare or defense against a means
which has proven so efficient
Despite the many disadvantages
under which we have labored, the
morale of officers, MEN and civilian
employers is excellent" he says.
Nevertheless, without a drastic in
crease in appropriations, we will soon
be the weakest among the half dozen
most powerful nations in chemical
warfare" ma
Gen. Fries stated Ithat it is uni.
versally appreciated BY those respon-
sible for carrying oiefthe leadership
of warfare, that poison gas industries
should be developed and supported In
their respective couHlries.
ITO neglect thiss phase of pre-
paredness," he declares, would place
nation at the mercy of one having
such weapon. This state of affairs is
recognized and accepted by those
charged with the national defense in
all countries, as isIthe impossibility
Of regulating an effective practice o.
war" oLea
From the above quotations from
Gen. Fries report, It can easily be
seen what sham was the claim thai
was made that the world war was the
last one that the world would ever
see. Preparations for the next war
which will make the former one lool
like a Sunday school picnic in com
parison, are already being made.

DRITAIN in Palestine and France
- in Syria face not alone the ma
tionalist movements that flare into
open rebellion at frequent intervals,
but there is also developing a labor
movement that challenges not merely
the power of the imperialist banditti
Of these two powers, but is equally
determined to crush all capitalism in
these countries.
While there still RACES the unre-
strained frightfulness Of the French
hordes invading Syria, while Damascus
lays in ruins at the feet of the French
.pillagers, and thousands are being
cremated in the ruins of the towns
burned by the maurading bands of
French Imperialism, the nationalist
struggle consumes the energy of all
classes in that stricken land.
S But as these inundated areas be-
come objects of imperialist develop
.ment, the labor movement also de-
velops. 1t is not the reformist social
democratic trade unions, nor the trade
unionism of the British type, nor the
syndicalist type of unious, but a
movement under the domination Of
the Communist Party.
The Beginnings.
DEFORE the present trade unions
u came into existence the only
unions in that part of the world were
the Jewish unions in Palestine. Jewish
workers, driven into Palestine by the
anti-semitic movements of the cap
italist countries, endeavored to trans
plant their trade union experience in
to new soil. Instead of creating a
mass movement among the natives,
this movement was confined to the
narrow space of the ghettos, to which
the Jewish immigrants flocked. With
large groups confined to certain locali-
ties in the industrial cities the move
ment became purely nationalistic.
Altho the Jewish movement cele-
brated the First of May as Interna-
tional Labor Day, the celebration it.
self was merely a nationalistic DEM
onstration. They perverted the labor
movement into nationalistic channels
The native workers considered the
First of May as a Jewish nationalist
and religious holiday-one of the
many holidays celebrated by various
religious elements that exist in
Palestine.
The Illusion Vanishes.
THE activity of the Communist Par
4 ty in Palestine and Syria, where
the most difficult campaign of organ
ization and education was carried on
for the purpose of creating a genuine
labor movement, finally broke down
the barriers of prejudice.
Following a true Bolshevik policy
the Communists became the organizers
Of the new labor movement in Syria
and Palestine. The struggle against
The imperialist invaders was directly
connected with the class struggle; the
frightful terror of the armed mercen-

Error in Yesterdays Editorial.

In the rush of work in our mechan.

crept into the editorial on The North

read "The reason the workers are
shot, slugged and Jailed is because
they are fighting for decent condi-
lions to defend the capitalist exploit

should read because the are fighting

italist exploiters." ~

WOODS Must Be Perfect or
M Flaws win Show.

With the return . popularity Of
-1al walnut and led gum woodwork
finished in walnut or mahogany, the
Importance of good lumber can
hardly be overestimated. When
painted woodwork was favored for
all rooms, including the living room,
the grain and perfection of the wood
was Of less Importance, for paint
and enamel, properly applied, cover
multitude of defects. Now, how
ever, wood must be perfect or the
flaws will show through the stained
and vanished finish. For this rea-
son it is wise to buy from a depend
able lumber company.
The Speedway Lumber Company,
at Speedway City, just west of In.
dianapolis, carries an excellent quail
ity Of lumber for either interior or
exterior work and Is conveniently
located to supply builders either in
Indianapolis or the suburbs. And

sive. it will be improved by attrac-

Less Opportunity Than in
Modern Living Room for
Recessed Work - Some
China Cabinets Placed
Beneath Windows.
By Molly Elliott

Compared to the living room with
its fireplace and built-in bookcases
or recessed book shelves, the modern
dining room offers comparatively
small opportunity for built-in fea-
lures, but there are few that are
worthy of consideration and much
may be done with easement windows
and French doors to give charm to
this room.
The huilt-in china cabinet Is less
in demand than it was a decade ago,
for china is seldom displayed today
and the Bullets built into breakfast
rooms and kitchens serve to hold
all the dishes in daily use, while
the finer ware is put away in the
china closet-usually a solid-doored
cabinet matching the design Of the
furniture.
Few Built In
There are, however, a few china
cabinets built into a combination Of
inclosed shelves and drawers be-
meath a group of dining room win
dows, and these, when finished to
match the woodwork Of the room
and fitted with loaded glass doors,
are very attractive for the cottage or
bungalow type of house. The real
Colonial cottage, or the larger Co
lonial house, is given added charm
by the use of the oldfashioned cor
ner cupboard. finished in white or
ivory enamel and displaying,
through it's glass doors, some quaint
china patterned after that used years
ago.
An interesting feature Of the
newer houses is the recessed space
planned for the buffet. This is arch
topped and lighted at each side with
candelabra lights, and forms a most
attractive background for this or
namental piece of dining room fur
nlture. The use OF arch-topped open
ings of window size between the
living and dining room is also a new
and interesting feature, giving ad-
ditional light to both rooms. The
sill of these openings may be used
to hold low bowl Of flowers Of
brightly colored ornament that
shows from either room.
French doors on each side Of
wide space designed for the buffet
are features Of the dining room that
add to- it's charm, especially If they
open on to an attractive terrace or
side porch
May Be Sunroom
Sometimes a dining room may
serve also as a sunroom, as it does
in a small north side bungalow
where there are but two persons in
the family. 1t connects the living
room with the kitchen and is win
bowed on two sides with easement
windows placed just high enough to
allow room for the small buffet be-
low them. A wide archway con-
meets it with the living room on
one side, while on the other the door
opens into the kitchen. In keeping
with the sunroom effect, the floor
Of this room Is of square red tiles
ano the furniture is of walnut. with
a Grop-leaf table and Windsor chairs.
Should the need arise, either the
chairs or table would serve for use
in the living room and the dining
room may be converted into a real
sunroom with very few changes.

LABOR SAVED
BY ELECT RICITY
In HOMES NOW
1t Not Only Lights, but Cooks
and Washes, Says
Company.

One needs only to look back upon
the days of candles and lamps, of
coal ranges and wood stoves, to rea-
lie the tremendous saving of labor
and the marked increase in the
beauty and comfort of the home that
has resulted from the use of cleo
tricity. and to appreciate the value
of such service as that given by the
Indianapolis Light and Heat Com
pany.
Compare the present attractively
shaded floor and wall lights with
the ugly, glazing gas lights OF
twenty-five years ago, and the bless
ing of electricity in the home will
be appreciated as never before.
IAght, however. is only one of the
conveniences that the service Of this
company makes possible. With an
electrically wired house the house
wife may make the morning coffee
and prepare the toast at the bi eak-
fast table.
Laundresses may be obtained cas-
lily or dispensed with altogether If
one has an electric washing machine.
and the electric iron is now regard
ed as an essential part Of the equip
ment of every modern home. BY
taking advantage Of the electric
service offered by this company. one
may build outside of the city limits,
where property values and taxes are
lower, and yet enjoy all city COM
forts with an electrically driven
pump to supply water to the house
and an electric stove for cooking
purposes.
In short, 1t is difficult to find any
home, large or small, that does not
owe much to electric service such as
the Indianapolis Heat and Light
Company sells at a reasonable rate.

A welI-biult and attractive dou-
BILE house that combines desira-
BILE home with a profitable invest
rnent has been recently completed
at Fifty-Third St. and College Ave.
by the Columbia Securities Com
pany, 152 N. Delaware st. Loca-
ton, exterior design and arrange
ment add to the attractiveness of
this residence, and its construc-
ton insures a minimum expense
for maintenance.
It is set far enough back from
the street to give it privacy and
quiet, and the double-terraced lawn
is planted with evergreens and
shrubs. White siding has been
combined with rough stucco for
the exterior walls, and buff brick
topped with Bedford stone forms
the porch balustrade. This porch
extends across the front of the
house and projects at each side,
giving more seclusion to the occu-
pants of the two sides than could
otherwise be enjoyed and serving
as an open terrace where one may
enjoy every breeze on warm sum-
mer evenings.
Red Tile Roof
A roof of red tile and dark green
solid shutters at the upper win
dows give attractive touches of
contrast to the light walls, ana
the dark tones of the door frames
