Hamburg, May 22nd Faced with all
the grim reality Of chemical warfare the
city of Hamburg yesterday was fighting
a deIuge of phosgene ia wartime poison
gas which began escaping from a chemi-
cal factory in the free harbor district the
previous night, overcoming a large num-.
Der of persons. By noon eleven persons
most of them firemen and policemen were
dead and ninety victims were in hospi-
tails under treatment. The entire city
was menaced but it was hoped that rain,
which set in, would absorb the gas fumes.
The gas escaped from a tank in the che.
mical factory of DR.. Hugo Stolzenburg.
Phosgene is no longer manufactured
there but quantities of it were stated to
have been accumulated and stored for
expectation to the United States. So
serious was the menace, that all the am
balances and fire brigades in Hamburg
were modified for the service. the fire
brigades dOnning gas masks and fighting
off the fumes with ammonia.
Mather, Pennsylvania May 22nd.-The

victims t. the surface. One hundred and
fifty two others, entombed by the blast,
were being sought by rescue workers.
Little hope was held that they would be
rescued alive.

entertain no prejudice against the peo-
pie of any country, but being absolutely
convinced that the barriers that have
been erected to prevent the coming OF
unlimited European labor have proven
to be highly beneficial, it is impossible
to avoid the conviction that the indus
trial situation ought to be guarded
against the difficulties and dangers
which will almost certainly follow the
unlimited immigration of workers from

To prevent the separation of families,
the measure indorses suggestions that
heads of families be not allowed to enter
the United States until passports under
the quota are also available for the wife
and children, but proposes to let the
members of now separated families be
reunited under less onerouS delay.
Alterations Suggested.
Secretary Davis also questions the
operation of the law favoring immigra-
ton of agricultural labor. as having
failed to attain effectiveness, and Sug-
gestcd alterations.
Recent court decisions by which alien
residents in Canada have obtained per-
mission to cross the border into the
United States were most regretted in
The report.
"If these decisions are upheld, it will
be impossible to prevent the entrance
INTO the United States of aliens of any
race or color who may gain entry to
Canada it observes, after stating that
appeals to the Supreme Court are still
pending. "If the final decision of the
Supreme Court is against the Govern
menr. then the present immigration law
will be no longer of any effect as a pro-
lection to the wage Garner of the United
States as against the alien labor of
foreign countries. whether Canadian,
Mexican, or European"

The oath of Office prescribed by the

it, nor have sent or accepted Chal-
lenge to fight duel with deadly weap-
ons, nor have I acted as second in car
rying challenge or aided advised
or assisted any person thus offending"

has ever been made to eliminate the
requirement. To do so would necessitate
