WASHINGTON. July IS. -lRy-
The development Of the use Of
deadly poisonous gases BY a~irplanes
IN time OF war is the objective OF
secret experiments being made BY

Maryland.
The tests have been made by

chemical warfare service and are
understood to have been so sue
cessful that military authorities
believe a method or new warfare
has been found that will prove
most effective.
Although some experiments
have claimed II would be possible
BY spreading gas from airplanes to
destroy armies and inhabitants OF
cities. wal department officials
made known that II Is not the IN
tention or this country to use air

oped.
