Ne,U Var Scourge
Traced to Germans
By French Press
AHege Airplanes Fitted
for S,Uift Rdsing of
Cities.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, February Am account of
new war scourge said to have been
developed by the Germans is causing
stir in the French press, notwith-
standing denials from official quar-
ters.
In the course of a lecture delivered
at st. Chamond recently, Deputy
Pierre Taittinger declared that the
Germans had secretly perfected a
chemical product by the use of which
airplanes could annihilate several
cities within few hours. The de-
tails of the invention, he added, re-
Gently came to the knowledge of the
French war. ministry, and experiments
by experts under the direction of Gen.
Serrigny had confirmed the reports of
the chemists on the new product.
The ministry of war, however, de-
clares it knows nothing of the inven-
tion and Gen. Serrigny denies having
ever. conducted the experiments de-
scrfbed.
1t is supposed the story arose from
the notice of q pamphlet on future
chemical war methods recently pub
lished in Berlin, which figured in the
war ministry's periodical review of
foreign technical publications. The
pamphlet, it is stated, was purely a
work of Imagination, and revealed no
new facts.

u. S. Clerks HUrk
Back to Sun Dial
For Keeping Time
Resourceful Employees,
Lacking Clock, Adopt
ancient Substitute.

Lacking clock to tell when re-
porting and quitting time ap-
proaches, and knowing that to secure
a timepiece just now would be diff
cult in view of the present agitation
about too many clocks in the Interior
Department, the employees of one
office in Uncle Sans big workshop
have gone back to the days of the
sun dial for their information on the
passage of the feeting minutes.
The we'll known and time-honored
passage of time has literally been
seized by the forelock by these re-
sourceful employees of the Interior
Department, who thwart the lack OF
a clock by using a. sun dial. On the
north wall Of the office in which this
unique device has been installed Is a
piece of paper with the figures
"2:15" on it. A few feet away is
another, bearing the figures 400,
and a little farther on "4:15:" When
the sun reaches any one of these
figures it gives the employees a pretty
accurate idea of the correct time
without a clock.
Secretary Work recently caused a
survey to be taken of the clocks in
the Interior Department. the result
of which disclosed there was one
clock to every six employees. Yester-
day the gong system was put in use
in the department, and now clocks
are strictly passe.

SENATE CALENDARS
GERMAN TREATY
State Department Reserva-
tions Fail to Win Over
Pact's Opponents.

The German commercial treaty is
now on the Senate executive calen-
dar with reservations approved by
the State Department, which fail,
however, to remove the objection
which has prevented ratification of
the convention for more than a year.
The foreign relations committee re-
ported the treaty favorably yester-
day.
Under the reservations the State
Departments policy against discrim-
ination in favor of American ship
ping would remain in full force for
at least a year, but thereafter 1T
could be changed upon 80 days notice
to Germany.
After the committee had acted,
Chairman Borah said the reservations
left the matter of policy with Con-
gress, but opponents of the treaty
took an opposite view and made 1t
plain they would launch a fight in
the Senate for a specific statement
that the determination of future
policy should rest with Congress and
not with the executive department.
Action Is Explained.
Some proponents of the treaty said
favorable action had been taken in.
the committee merely to get the treaty
to the floor of the Senate for the
thrashing out there of differences as
to whether the door is to be closed to:
the stimulation of the American mer-
chant marine through the imposition
of preferential tariff duties on inn
ports in American bottoms.
Members of the committee disclosed
that when Secretaries Hughes and:
Hoover appeared Monday to urge rati-=
fication, three sets of resolutions We're
proposed: The one reported yester :
day, another leaving the declarations
of policy to Congress, and the third
embodying the favored nation clause
of some existing treaties. $
Besides the reservations with re-
spect to the merchant marine, the
committee approved another under
which the treaty could not be con 5
strued to affect existing statutes of:
either country in relation to the i'm !;
migration of aliens or the right off
either to enact such statutes. This.
reservation was made necessary, IL
was explained, by the enactment of
the permanent immigration restric-
ton law since the negotiation of tho
treaty in 1928.

C0NVENTS RA|DED
IN HUNT FOR ARMS
Chilean Police Fail to Dis.
close Reported Plot
Against AIIessandri.
by the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, February 4-Co-
incident with the receipt of advices
from Santiago, Chile, that the police
Monday raided three clubs, four
Catholic converts and a number OF
private residences in search of arms
supposed to have been gathered to-
gether by the elements opposed to the
return to Chile of President Allies
sandri, information has reached Bue-
nos Aires that a peaceful solution OF
Chile's political crisis is not yet as
sured, despite the agreement recent
~ reached by the army with the navy
in asserting to Allessandri's home
coming.
The situation is described as one of
great unrest among the people, and
as threatening an outbreak against
continued agitation by a group OF
Chile's wealthiest men, who do not
desire President Allessandri to resume
power.
These men are said to be leaders of
1.-THE Unionists party. Their party
though small, is financially power
full and is alleged to possess secret
deposits of arms.
No Arms Found.
No arms are reported to have been
found during Mondays raids, which
the new governing junta disapproved
The junta statement was made after
it had received protests against the
raids, including one from the arch
bishop of Santiago.
Ostensibly the army and navy lead
ers are working in harmony pending
Allessandris return, but, according to
the views of observers of the situa-
tion in Santiago, fears are felt that
q clash with the civilian elements may
occur at any moment. Such a clash
it is said, would eliminate in these
elements taking sides in accordance
with their respective political SYM
pathies-the Unionists with the navy,
and the supporters of AllesSandri
with the controlling element in the
army.
Reports received here are to the
effect that both Santiago and Valpa-
raiso are virtually armed camps. San
tiago is dominated by the army and
Valparaiso by the navy. Allessandris
supporters include the laboring class
Their opposition to the UnionistS Is
so strong that the Santiago news
paper Mercurio editorially remarked
that Chile was on the brink of a SOW
let regime when the recent govern
ing junta was overthrow by the
young army officers and Allessandri S
return home was promised.
