they were outlawed or not. to bring sue
cess to her arms. When the sug-
gestion was made TO outlaw gas
for offensive purposes, the suggestion
was made at that time that should such
an agreement be made the COM
nfissioned personnel of the Chemical
Warfare Service could very easily be
merged with the Ordnance Department,
as their experience and knowledge
would be useful TO that arm of the
service. This Is the only time that any
such consolidation has been mentioned
and as far as the report that the Chem
ical Warfare Service might be merged
with the Corps Of Engineers. this sug-
geStiOn was held In the War Depart
ment as quite impossible. The scope of
activities of the Chemical Warfare
Service is broadening, and officers of
the Navy, Marine Corps and the Ma
tional Guard are evincing greater in
terest in this branch than ever before.
Gen. Fries will not complete his four
year tour Of duty as chief of this branch
until March 90. 1929. and as this will
take place after President Coolidge goes
out Of office. 1t Is quite probable, 1t was
stated at the War Department, that the
next chief of this branch, whoever he
may be, will be selected by the new
administration.
