Yet nine days ago little fire de-
veloped in the writing room. And,
according to testimony of officers, pas
sengers and crew, all these fire safe
guards failed to work.
The fire doors weren't closed; no
one paid much attention to the fire
panel in the wheel house. There
was little or no pressure on the hose
pipes. Fire buckets hung untouched
upon the walls. The watchman re-
ported the blaze, but to no avail.
And when the main power plant
shut down, the auxiliary plant didn't
work and the radio man was forced
to use his emergency batteries, the
lead connections Of which promptly
melted of.

T 4unan Side Of the News - ByEdwin G. I'LL

Haldane is one of the experts
who lines himself on the side
of those who see gas warfare as
more humane than that of
Shrapnel and shell. On the
other hand, we have had re-
ports from time to time of dead"
ly and devilish gases and bombs
ready to be loosed with the
hounds of war. However, agree
ment is general with the Hal
dane view that mustard gas still
is the most to be feared.
The Germans were the first
to use poison gas and it came
within an ace of winning the
war for them. The scene was
the Langemarck-St. Julien Sec
tor in Belgium, and the date
April %, 1915. Early on that
night in spring the observers
with the British artillery noticed
a strange green vapor coming
over the French trenches from
the German lines.
Almost as suddenly the Brit.
ish saw through their glasses a
terrible confusion among the
French colonial troops. Men
were throwing away their guns,
coughing and clutching at their
throats.
Behind the waves of green
vapor the Germans advanced.
A great gap opened in the
French lines, four miles in width
with the defenders running
away from a danger they had
never known or suspected.
The road to the Channel was
opened to the Germans and
they poured into it. Only the
Canadians stood between them,
and it was two divisions of these
great fighters, the Third and
Eighth, which held their
ground against wave upon wave
of the gas.
Twenty thousand men were
gassed in this first attack and
5000 of them were killed. But
the Canadians stood firm and
at st. Julien wrote a page of
history more glorious than the
Greeks did at Thermopylae.
Their ranks were cut to pieces
and yet they kept back the foe
until the Highlanders came up
to fill in the breach left by
the French colonialS. With bag
pipes sounding the counter
attack, the killed Scots, mouths
and noses bound up against the
gas, charged with bayonet, stem
ming the advancing. And it
was there that a wounded
French soldier, looking on in
admiration at the charge, said:

but I tell you they are ladies

WHY?

England announces that the
Rhine is now her frontier and
proceeds to the building of an
other 500 military airplanes.
The German government con-
ducts a campaign to have land
lords construct bomb-proof eel
lars in their houses and allows
a tax rebate to those who do
so. The United States decides
to bolster up it's air forces.
The Japanese, in their

drill themselves daily in the use
of gas masks and in defense
against bombing attacks. Mus
solini, glancing over the British
and American programs and ex'
tremely proud of Italy as a
power, contemplates additions
to his great air fleets.
The French add to their
armies of the skies and the
ministry of war takes over
supervision of the sale Of gas
masks in the country to pre-
vent frauds on the civilians who
buy them.
Now, it is not fair to link
these happenings except 1or
the purpose of showing that
wherever the possibilities OF tu-
ture warfare are considered the
thoughts of the governments
are turned to airplanes and
poison gas.
The world is heading to the
point where a major war Will

active service as an aviator in

Why did I stop lying? That's
