Purely Myth

The belief that the tall Of q snake
after the head Is cut off or the rest
Of the snake is killed lives until sun
set Is merely an old myth. Owing to
the reaction of the snakes nervous
system Its tall will continue to wiggle
long after the snake Is otherwise ap-
parently dead But there is nothing
to the notion that 1t will continue to
wiggle until sunset and then stop.
Sometimes II will stop before and
sometimes after sunset.-Path6nde

One Way To Annreciate

zine NdIlOn)
Probably the quickest way to ap-
preciate the power which the pres
ence of (poison) gas has is to
picture the fear which human be-
ing has of having his breathing in
terfered with by smothering or chok-
Ing and the instructive dread Of
losing his vision" This quotation
is taken not from an editorial de-
nouncing the use of poison gas but
from the instruction book of the
Chemical Warfare Service of the
United States Army. The little book
is explicit on the kinds of gases,
from the comparatively harmless
tear-gas to white PHOSPHORUS" the
burns" from which ARE extremely
severe on the body" and Exceeding
ly painful" Nor does the Chemical
Warfare Service lose sight of the
fact, that poison gas is useful not
only In war time but in time Of
peace, for the prompt dispersal If
mobs and for rendering uninhabit-
able any given locality for the space
or a week or SO. A most versatile
and obliging weapon, in short, and
one adapted to all kinds and condi-
lions OF men-and even women and
children, for they are included in this
invaluable little book. Major Gen
eral Fries, head of the Chemical
warfare Service, when taken to task
Tor the document by Golfers and
the New York World, replied with
righteous indignation and an evident
inability to see what all the fuss was
about. Poison Gas? Why not? A
humane and sensible method of get

THE LEAGUE AND SYRIA

While the League of Nations is be-
ing congratulated on it's success in
the Balkans it better not indulge
spectacularly in congratulating itself
until certain irritating conditions, for
which in sense the League is held
responsible, are alleviated.
France is in Syria by reason of a
mandate granted by the League of
Nations, has not yet been asked TO
relinquish that mandate, indeed 1t is
not clearly what country could take it
to the betterment Of conditions. New
ertheless French methods are dis
quieting and giving rise to a likeli-
hood that the League may be called
upon to take hand.
Along with mandate in Syria came
a people, who have little respect for
anything short of force. France took
over the mandate in 1920; In 1921
occurred a native uprising; the fol-
lowing year rioting in Damascus and
later the same year war with Syr-
ian tribes; the next year another
war and now, about three weeks ago,
the French forces deemed it neces-
sary to lombard a part Of the city
Of Damascus for period of three
days, during which it Is said the res
idents suffered 5000 casualties. Be-
fore the smoke Of that cleared away
the smoke of criticism began to as
cend from peoples shocked by the
occurrence.
Yet what may the League or any
one else do about it? Some SEM
blance OF order in that region is
thought to be essential. The rebel
lious ones will have nothing short or
what they term Independence, but
which really, it is thought, would
amount to little more than an OPP
portunity for the different factions to
get at each others threats. Verify
the League will need all the acumen
which it's best friends attribute to 1t.
Nor is it clear how the League,
should it be so disposed, may avoid
ultimately being further involved.
There is before it appeals from the
Syrian people for help; there is on
record the pledges of the French to
Syrian independence given liz the
time Of the great war when 1t was
desired to get the Syrians to espouse
the cause of the allies. Now the
question arises whether these were
made to be broken. How may the
League avoid the situation, especial
ly If peoples of the world are arous-
ed respecting the conditions there?
Evidently the Syrians will not per-
NIT the matter to be forgotten. If
warning among themselves they new
ertheless are united in opposition 20
France and show a disposition to
fight to the bitter end. The situa-
ton is contributing in no way to
world peace or to public favor for
French methods in the premises.
