eminent bureaus each one of which
will have a specific task-to see to
it that in the eventuality of war
there will be no delay in putting
into effect the provisions of the law.
In the vast scheme of national de-
Tense which the French military au-
thorities, in collaboration with the
government, are working out. there
is one detail which finds no place
in the plan submitted to parliament
but which none the less constitutes
one of it's most important features.
1t is ,the problem of defense against
barbarous methods of warfare.
All Methods Considered
France does not propose to resort
to such methods, but in the opinion
of her keenest military mind it
would be criminal not to study and
follow the development of every
method of warfare, legitimate or
not, which might be used against
the country by an INSCRIPTIONS foe.
France was taken unawares when
the first waves of poison gas swept
over the Franco-British forces near
Ypres. She does not intend to be
caught mapping again. But she is
not telling anybody about her Rlans.
Secrecy and surprise, are, of course,
essential features both of attack and
defense in this respect.
Without attempting to delve into
the researches of the army experts
it may be stated that the founda-
ton of the whole system of defense
against barbarous methods of war

sufficient to transform the industry
into military machine and supply
the armies whatever barbarous
methods the enemy may use.
Seven Gases Used
In the great war there were seven
principal gases utilized in attack. A
suffocating chlorine compound was
let loose on the allied lines by the
Germans and was later used by the
allies. Another suffocating gas, oxy-
chloride or carbon, was also used by
both sides. The allies used it in
waves and in shell. The Germans
used it only for waves. The Ger
mans used liquid diphosgene, whose
effect was also on the respiratory
organs. The Germans, too, were
alone in utilizing a poison gas,
cyanhydric acid, which they placed
in shell. They invented another

fare is the building up of a chemi-
cal industry which can be trans
formed at a moments notice from
a peace time industry to a war or
ganization.
When the allies in the great war
by means of their blockade cut off
from Germany her supply Of nitrates
from Chile, the central powers
could mot have continued the war
six months longer Lad it not been for

note of the new French defence

concerned, is to develop the chemical

PARIS, May eff France is

sources of the nation, man-power,

: the new scheme of defense of which
the basic principles have been adopt
ed by parliament. "Man-power," be
lit noted, means in this sense, every

Women will play their part in the
next war.
This is a corrollary of the new
idea that when a nation is at war all
it's citizens are at war with all the
citizens of the enemy power. Tech
nically, there will be no noncombat-
ants, except in the sense that some
will be armed with destructive
weapons The others will be supA
plying the needs Of the men on the
fighting line.
Scheme Outlined
What about the profiteers? To
this question, which was asked
many times during the preliminary
discussions of the great plan of ma
tional defense, Paul Boncour, the
Socialist orator. who was reporter of
the project which was adopted by
the Chamber of Deputies by an over
whelming vote, replied:
Every member of the committee
named to study this problem was
convinced that there could be no
greater injustices than to order a
woman to take her place in hos
pital. lin a dispensary, in the fields,
to take the place of a man called to
the front; to demand of an inventor
that he give the fruit of his labors
to the state; to ask all men capable
of carrying arms to go to the front,
and then exempt one class only
those who possess that special form
of wealth known as industrial capt.
tai. In this plan of defense we
agreed-and as far as know this is
the first time it has been done in any
country-that there shall be no
profits except the legitimate profits
on orders executed for the benefit of
the state"
Prices to Be Fixed
How is this to be accomplished?
BY the mere fact that the govern
ment, through it's ''prefect" or de-
partmental representatives, will fix
the prices of all things needed for
the military forces of the nation,
will design the factories from which
they are to- be supplied and in what
quantity. There will be no -competi-
ton. There will be no bids. The
government authority will say to a
certain factory: THE nation needs

you will have to tell us why"

is that this new scheme of defense
