P PROTOCOL OF
GENEVA WRONG

NEW YORK, Dec 9.-IP-Charging
that Secretary of State Frank Il, Kel-
logg is both i'll advised and misin-
formed, the American Chemical society
made public today letters to Kellogg
and to it's membership protesting
against the position taken by the sec
rotary of state in behalf of the Geneva
protocol. Ratification by the United
States senate, it was declared, would
be a national calamity. The letter to
Secretary Kellogg scoffs at the theory
that chemical wareIare is .nhumane,
and offers statistics compiled by army
surgeons in the World war to show
the comparative deadliness of gases
and explosive shells, by which they
hope to prove that "the provisions of
the washington conference and the
Geneva protocol were born of hysteria
and fostered by ignorance"
I'VE simply desire that you shall have
on record and on file certain easily
confirmed facts regarding which you
apparently have been i'll advised In
order that incorrect statements may
not be given out by the state depart
ment," the letter tells the secretary.
The letter to members of the society
cites the same facts given Secretary
Kellogg, and urges members to write
respective senators to vote against
ratification of the Geneva protocol to
keep this blunder of the Washington
peace conference from becoming a ma
tional calamity through adhesion to the
Geneva peace protocol"

Miss Caldwell's charges of reduction.
He instructed that promise to
marry in consideration of Illicit re-
lations would invalidate the con-
tract, because based on an immoral
consideration" but thas .'if you find,
as claimed by the plaintiff, that she
was seduced by the defendant into
consenting to il:>sit relations, through
and by reason Of the existing promise
of marriage this would increase the
damages otherwise recoverable by the
plaintiff
The jury had reached no verdict
shortly before midnight
The jurors were instructed that
should they reach a verdict during
the night they could seal it and go
to their homes. Court attaches said
there was no indication that the
