LIVES ARE LOST IN FOREST FIRES IN OREGON SlATE
GERMANS WARN CITIES TO PREPARE
 FOR CHEMICAL WARFARE FROM AIR
By J. A. BOUMAN A. P. Staff Writer)

A. P. Staff Writer)
 MUNICH, Sept. 13.-That chemi- cal warfare on large scale is cer- tainly coming, and the nations of the world had better make up their minds to face facts spuarely, was the gist of a resolution passed by the German Society for Protection Against Air Attacks when it met here.
 Professors of Chemistry, military authorities and fire fighting ex- perts were assembled to consider ways and means to counteract the air menace.
 Germany, speakers pointed out, IS by it's geographical position open to air attacks from all sides.
 Dr. Kern of the Carinthian Anti Air Attack Association. said that there existed about 100 different kinds of war poisons, but only about ten of them were known to the general public; the blister-rais- ing, the corrosive, the nerve-para- lyzing and the tear gases. To all of these, he said, there exists anti dotes, but the necessity remains to know them all and to be pre- pared for all
 Prof. Carl Hegler of St. Georges Hospital, Hamburg, related his ex- periences in treating cases of phos- gen poisoning arising from the ca- tastrophe there year ago. He said that of the 300 victims only ten died, the others being saved by treatment which must be rapid to be effective.
 Prof. Robert Pschorr of the Char lottenburg Technical High School said that no gas protection devices could assure 100 per cent safety; neither would locked door keep out a burglar, but it would be a reckless procedure to leave doors and windows open, thus making 1t still easier for the burglar.
 Fire Chief Stein of Magdeburg spoke of the latest chemical fire fighting appliances that might be utilized to quench conflagration caused by incendiary bombs.
 Major Grosskreutz, air expert of the former imperial army, said that it was flight of fancy to imagine enemy bombers coming over like clouds of locusts" Only a frac- tion of a country's air force, he argued, could be used effectively at the front. He gave an instance of an air squad which protected the Mannheim -Ludwigshafen industrial area during the World War. Three hundred ascents were made, but only seven times did the German flyers come in contact with the enemy, and only eight enemy air. planes were brought down--one hit in 37 tries.
 Equally exaggerated in his views were the effects of attacks with ex- plosive bombs, experience having shown htat to destroy buflt-on area of six square miles, 10000 tons of bombs would be needed, which would require the services of 200 day machines or 100 attacks each, assuming that each machine was capable of making 100 attacks.
 The incendiary bomb, in his opin- ion, was most to be feared by the unhappy citizens of centers open to air attacks.

 Despite yesterdays in c l e m n t weather, the attendance at the sec- ond day of the Southeastern Alaska Fair was good and demonstrators and concessionaires at the various booths report a decided increase in the local interest of patrons and visitors. The booths which sur round the arena of the Fair Build ing are decidedly colorful and show to advantage the products adver- tised or for sale, through careful manipulation of color schemes and through an artistic arrangement of the articles on display.
 The Alaska Electric Light and Power Company has a double booth, decorated in purple and red checkerboard design, in which an electric Thor combination washer and ironer is advertised. The de- lightfully fresh blue-green color of this washer catches the eye of every housewife as she meditates on the possibility of having such a luxury in her laundry on hot summers day. The Polygon, Easy, and Savage washers are also on display as are several General FL ectric machines. A demonstrator presides over the booth and court eously answers all questions pertain ing to the objects on view.
 George Brothers Exhibit
 George Brothers is the only gro- cery store having an advertising booth at the Fair and each night the demonstrator gives out some different kind of samples of the products sold at this progressive store. The display features Schil- ling's products and the Amocat brand of goods. Books of needles and an aluminium measuring spoon which are given away at this booth by the Schilling company make nice souvenirs of the Fair as well as being useful articles. Schillings mustard sauce, a brand new com- modity, is much in evidence at the George Brothers's booth and is a delicious concoction on hot dogs and on meats of every kind.

There are all sorts of ways of

which James Woods, so, confessed
slayer of Mr.. and Mrs. George F,

Muncie, will attempt to win mercy
from the court which tries him on
charge of first-degree murder, he
has indicated.
I've been having spells of some

PROBE MOTIVE

Gary Newspapers Editorial
Refers to Sinister Intent
in Case.
TRIAL FAILURES CITED
Cost of Proceedings in
Which Only Four Were
Sentenced Gets Attention.

By Times SDeciGl
GARY, Ind, Dec. 16.-In a
lengthy Page l editorial, the Gary
Post Tribune discusses the Lake
county liquor conspiracy cases in
which 300 persons were indicted, but
in trials of two of them only three
persons were convicted and one en-
tered a plea of guilty. In the sec
ond case seventeen defendants were
dismissed, these being all that were
before Judge Thomas w. Slick in
federal court sitting at Hammond.
Reviewing the history Of the cases
previous to the grand jury session
at South Bend, wher the indict-
ments were returned, the Post
Tribune says it has reached the fol-
lowing conclusions:
Either the government repre-
sentatives were permitting them
selves and their Offices TO be used
by embittered politicians to further
their own personal desires and am
billions, or a deep-rooted conspiracy
was being woven around the fed
eral building itself, without the
government officials being aware Of
the sinister intent of those who went
so far as to attempt to influence a
federal grand jury in returning in
diCtments against those who had
been marked for the pen
The editorial deplores what 1t
terms the harmful publicity given
Gary as a result of the indictments,
and calls attention to the cost of
the investigation, and in conclusion
says:
"Of course, the government Is not
responsible for what might be
termed the false arrest Of the Gary
persons. And the government could
not be held accountable If it were
responsible. But it certainly is a
bad situation, to say the least, when
all of those men, though free
in law, must suffer the humiliation
of arrest and arraignment because
certain sinister influences sought
personal revenge and political
gain" s

spiracy cases, including among de-
