There was in particular detailed
memorandum containing the entire
scheme for the execution Of what was
described as the Valentine" attack.
SO called (Rehmy explained) because 1t
was planned to take place on the 14th
Of February, or in just under two
months time. The vital element OF
the attack was surprise. London and
Paris were to be drenched from the air
with the Professors new poison gas.
Large forces of airplanes, leaving from
various bases on the western frontiers
of Germany (the names OF which were
in cipher), were to loose this horror
from the air over two sleeping and to-
tally unsuspecting towns. The last
sentence OF the plan deserves quota
ton:
'It may be regarded as certain that
the effects of the X3 gas, as dis
charged by the new projectors, will be
to destroy all forms of vegetable or
animal life within a radius Of 400
square kilometers."
It was afterward discovered from
the papers of Won Stahl and Herzler.
subsequently, arrested at Leipzig, that.
simultaneously with this attack, an
army Of 100000 fully armed and equip
ped German infantry with a proper ac-
compa niment of artillery, new and
swift type of armored car, airplanes
and all the other paraphernalia Of
modern warfare. was to advance
through Alsace- e-Lorraine and the ter
ritory of the Saar Basin. The south
ern force was to move by way Of Metz
and Verdun, and the northern force
was to occupy Lille and push forward
to the channel ports. The air fleet
would meanwhile be ready to ami
hilate London and Paris. or any town
in France or the United Kingdom to
which the government of those coun-
tries might have succeeded in trans
ferring itself in the most unlikely
event of all or part of the allied min

many months was base adjutant at
Brest, France, which was comma nded

of troops from the naval transports
and looked after their embarkation
after the war.
The resignation of Second Lieut.
William B. Shanahan, Company d,
121st Regiment of Engineers, has been
accepted.
Estimates of funds necessary for
the annual encampment of the 121st
Regiment of Engineers, 29th Military
Police Company, 260th Coast Artil-
lery and First Separate Battalion
have been prepared at National Guard
headquarters and forwarded to the
headquarters of the Third Corps Area
at Baltimore, Md, whence they will
go to the Militia Bureau of the War
Department.
The estimates call for total ex-
penditure of $43,953.76, of which S.
31S.72 will be for transportation by
boat and train. $2S,000 for pay and al
lowances for the officers and men for
the 15 days Of training, $5.569.20 for
subsistence, $S10 for the hire of ami
mails, $120 for forage, S942 for sani.
tation and S1,413.3O for miscellaneous
expenses. Payrolls for the officers
and men will be paid prior to the
movement of the troops from camp
| to their home station here, but they
will not be paid until after they de-
bark from the transport, here.
The National Guard has accepted
the offer of four large motor trucks
and two kitchen trailers to be as
signed by the Army for the use of
the 260th Coast Artillery. If the ap-
proval is given for this rganization
to proceed over the road to their camp
at Fort Monroe. it is expected that
they will be used at that time
Plans are being made to send a de-
| tachment of one officer and seven en-

the trucks, and to Jeffersonville, Ind.

the road to Washington.
