At the same time that citys supply

army will be attacked by the lombard

accomplished with a rim of fire, few

Such, at the outset, will be the true
nature of the much-talked-of future
war of populations-when gas is too
limited and too local in effect for prac-
tical use. Contrary to popular opinion
and the inventions of imaginative writ
ers, no new gas, deadlier than those of
the World War, has yet been found
Mustard gas remains the most effective

has a highly drilled, specialized mech
anized force, with its munition produc-
ing power ready, will have won the VIC
tory before an unprepared opponent
has laid the foundations for his new
training camps and new munition plants.

which has 10000 planes and other up

Two forces which are about equally

usual The soldier at the front will
know a greater mental agony than
facing death in battle. In previous wars
he has seen himself as the shield pro-
tecting his family at home. Now his
wife. his babies, his old father and
mother will be under fire in the war of
populations. One foul blow at the start
will mean that soon no foul blow will be
barred by either side. Each new weapon
the enemy uses will be initiated and
turned on him in reprisal.
CRIGHTFULNESS will be a fashion.
With the weight of World War taxes
still being borne, private property may
disappear in a cruelty mechanical Sow

in the sight of wreckage by bombs and
of casualties of women and children;
hate which will give no quarter in the
enraged conviction that there will be
no mercy for the loser.
At last the survivors of one army,
ghosts of men, will march in victory
through the enemy back area of de-

bankrupt country upon the famished

The project of widening Wran-

Jade From Victoria Land
Mr.. Waters was fortunate enough
to secure some rare jade work from
victoria Land in the eastern Cana
uian Arctic. This collection COM
prises prehistoric implements such
as AIDES and cutting tools. The col
lection was secured through the CO.
operation of Captain Peterson of the
motorship Patterson, who operates
a trading enterprise in the Canadi-
an and Alaska Arctic and is consid
cred the most expert ice pilot i'm
those waters.
The Patterson makes a yearly
trip into the Canadian Arctic as far
as HerscheI Island, the Canadian
port of entry. Here the Patterson is
met by a smaller schooner which
acts as a tender for numerous trad
ing posts east of the Mackenzie river.
Arctic trading has become a vast
enterprise, Waters says. He learned
from Chief Officer Bartlett of the
Patterson, whom he met in Oakland,
that airplanes were used this sum-
mer to bring out the finest furs
from the northern posts. 1t was due
to this innovation that Captain Pc
terson was able to realize profitable
trade from his fox skins this year,
landing the rarest of the furs in the
States when the market was at its
peak in September. The fur bales
were flown out from Herschel Island
by way of the Mackenzie river and
Edmonton, thus avoiding the long
and hazardous voyage through the
western Arctic ice pack, and the
consequent delay contingent upon
water transportation.
