Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-04-13

- WARNS of English and German spies have
been reporting constantly to their respective
headquarters on the scientific horrors de-
ylsed N each others laboratories for use in this all
out war OF total destruction IN which half the
world IS now engaged. On the strength of these
reports. scientists have worked night and day to
perfect counterterrors and neutrallzing agents to
render the original ones ineffective.
Above all these armies of spies have been striv-
ing desperately to find the one weak link in the
Others armory OF horror, while their laboratories

The only mysteries about them are how far the

most oil them are likely TO prove tWo-edged swords
and some which he might not dare try on England
might seem safer to unloose on the American con-
tnent
Hitler has boasted that he has a secret weapon
against which there is no answer But this Is not
true FOR Uufess the weapon can produce an al
most instantaneous knockout there IS always the
answer OF retaliation with the same or a slightly
different form of the same thing

least conceivable as result Of using one of A
so-called 'nerve-gases. One Of the commonest "
these is trichlorethylene. which can be nanufac.
tured in unlimited quantities from coal salt water
and air. Those who nhale it are made unconscious
for a short time But even if one of this type had
been concentrated greatly. it still would be useful

the war, as has been the mueh-exploted magnetic

Is the lesson the Germans learned from introduce

must score a quick and decisive victory before
Germany can be also knocked out by retaliation

Take thallium, for instance odorless taste

The elements atomic weight is 204, lying between
gold and mercury. Thalum, itself is a metal and

important point is that thallium has been turned
into vaporizing organic compounds which slowly

bombers over London and poison the air with tetra-
ethyl, British planes could not fight them, and it

Prince Rupprecht, of Bavaria said of France:
I'VE are adequately prepared for the last war"
Winston Churchill sarcastically remarked that the
British army had been mechanical to the extent
that its horses had been taken away from it.
France and England both seem to have entered
the present wdr adequately prepared for the last
world war The question is whether England and
America are now preparing for war as it was
waged in 1910 or as it will be waged in 1871.
The general public however. seems to be worry

Il path of the German blitzkrieg its garrison

advance guard of invaders with their light tanks

According to a German communique, single
airplane landed in the courtyard of Eben Emaul
and somehow rendered the entire garrison so help
less that the infantry rushed up to the mysteri-
ouslystied turrets and captured this key position
without shot being fired at them
The story gave birth to rumors that it was
Hitlers 'unanswerable weapon" and must be the
death-ray because what else could paralyze whole
garrison ike that? 1t was not death-ray for the
reason that, though there are rays which will kill
rabbit at distance of a few feet, these require
tremendous amounts of power, more than any

they know that in few hours tons of the same
stuff will be raining down on German cities On
the other hand if the Germans should pour down
from the English skies chemical compounds of
thaium, which is one of the earth's 90 elements,
there is little danger that the Royal Air Force
would dump any of that particular poison on Bor
lin because Germany controls almost the entire
world supply. But the retaliation would be with
something else possibly the synthetic tri-ortho-
