PREVENT THIS HORROR!

Colonel d. p. Bloch. of the French army paints
a picture of the next war; calculated to give one
the horrors Yet he is writing in the coolest technical
terms, and much of what he sees for future con-
flcts would have been witnessed in the last had
it lasted few months longer.
The first thing to realize is that in the "next war;
there will be fronts" Attacks win be delivered
by airplane hundreds Of miles behind the frontier.
Next, there will be non-combatants; every one
will be swept into the machine, and every one
viii be in danger.
II the World War had lasted till the spring of
1919, the German trenches would have been drenched
with %ewisite," deadher gas than any yet used,
and one defying all then known forms of protection.
This gas the invention of an American college
professor, and its manufacture would have been on
quantity basis of several thousand tons per week
by March 1919.
On the other hand, Ludendorff had all plans laid
to destroy Paris and London by rain of "electron
bombs" chemical fire makers which will start a
blaze in anything burnable.
Colonel Bloch sees the American and German in
yentions combined in the next war; fire bombs used
to drive people into the streets and gas bombs to
overcome or kill them when in the open.
1t would be totally impossible to fit out a whole
population with gas masks and train them in the
of such devices Even defense found against one
gas another may be invented, and week or day of
its free before the defense against it is found,
may be sufficient to wipe out all resistance to it and
win the war.-THE TAILOR.
