voting power
 This latter consideration had much to do with socialist insistence last January, when cabinets were falling in rapid succession, that parliament be dissolved and elec- tions held. Socialist leaders were confident that the country would return them in such numbers that they would be able to form a gov- ernment.
 And their increase would have been at the expense of the radical socialists, their more moderate brothers of the left.
 The party is composed largely of middle class people of provin- cial towns whose ideas are slightly in advance of the right but not as radical as those of the socialists. They party name. radical socialist, thus is misnomer.

PARIS, May 29-France Is wit messing what observers believe will prove to be an historical turn in internal politics.

CHEMISTS SEEK BEST WAR GAS
 FOR U. s. USE
Outcome of Project May Result in Future &c.,
 curity of Nation

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 29.- In a laboratory at Edgewood Arse nal, Maryland, little group ct chemists are working on a project upon which, in the opinion of some military leaders, the security of the nation may stand or fall.
 This research organization, the only one of it's kind in the United States, is seeking the best possible gas defense and offense for the army.
 Offensive Used
 Says Maj. Gen Marry L. Gill christ, chief of the chemical war fare service: ''If we are to protect against an enemy gas, it is neces- sary that we should know all there is to know about the offensive use of gas. I do not make any claims that chemical warfare alone will win the war, but do insist that it is one of the most important if not the most important, auxiliary"
 General Gilchrist says the pres ent army gas mask is believed the best military mask in the world, but that it's weight and bulk still are more for foot troops than is de- sirable. Development of masks suitable for voice transmission and for use with optical instruments, such as range finders, is nearing completion.
 Nearly a third of the casualties in the American army during the world war were due to gas, Gen. eral Gilchrist says. In large num- Der of cases it was found that the men would not put their masks on
 Few Improvements
 As far as producing gases is con- cerned he believes there have been few improvements on the types used during the World War. He considers mustard gas the most ef- fective, and the devising of ample protection against it is one of the biggest problems of the chemical service.
 Phosgene and chlorine, the two other important warfar egases, both must be inhaled to be effective. They do not affect the body, but act on the respiratory tract. On .he other hand, mustard gas affect both the body and the respiratory tract, and that requires proper pro- tective clothing, he says.
