two compact spray hoods, a new

DUNG the fraction of a minute

Gas weapons, as demonstrated
at Edgewood. have been vastly
improved. Mortars will hurl gas
shells for miles. A mortar bat

gas in two minutes. for instance.

gas warfare technique Is the
spreading of gas by plane. One
plane diving low. can spray an

Reps. Victor A. Knox, Sault

reached the bill stage. They pre-
dicted the Legislature would act
at this session to assure q SOL

Knox, new Republican speak

was to earmark a slice of the
current $27, 900, 900 State gener-
al fund surplus as the "founda-
ton" for a bonus fund, and pos
sibly to use all the surplus for
that purpose.
IF we have the money In the
bank, why should we float a

War Weariness
Hampers Mazis
on Continent
BY GLENN BABR

Once more the reports of sag
ging morale, war WEAKNESS and
growing unrest in the satellite
members of Hitler's Europe are
multiplying. From Switzerland
and SW e d n, those windows
through which the outside world
can peer dimly at developments
within the new dark continent,
come stories of incipient revolt
in Rumania and of Hungary's
anxieties over the future of the
war. The Rome Radio describes
usual measures to bolster the
spirit of the people. Finland is
giving fresh evidence of her un-
willingness to be considered in
the category of Germany's min
ions.
We would be wise to scan
these reports warily. Anything
that contributes to complacency
and overconfidence or tends to
dull the keen edge of our resolve
may come straight from Doctor
Goebbels' prescription book. The
Allied world swallowed a lot of
that medicine last Winter and if
it did no great harm it was no
contribution to Allied victory
either.
However, even IL we take the
news from inside Europe with
all due skepticism, there can be
little doubt that the plight Of
those states, including Italy,
which more or less voluntarily
hitched their vehicles to the Hit
Ter star is one of the unhappiest
in this tragic world. Not that it
need excite pity. For most of
them there was another choice,
the one taken by Yugoslavia and
Greece. Tragic as was the fate
of those two small Kingdoms
there remains to them at least
hope of a victory that will re-
store their freedom. Such hope
Is dying in countries like Ruma-
mia and Hungary, II we can be-
lieve only q fraction of the news
from those lands.
Take the case of Rumania.
Probably the fear of Germany's
apparently all-conquering might
was as imp ortant as greed
among the motives that prompt
ed the Rumania to join the Axis.
Take away that confidence in
Hitler's invincibility and little
remains, neither Bessarabia nor
Bucovina nor any other Of the
spoils the Nazi Fuehrer prom
ised.

Jan. 7 - This is gas headquar-
tiers of the United States Army.
Putting it more accurately, it is
the pilot plant, testing ground
and training school center for
the Chemical Warfare Service
but when you say that to the
average civilian, he thinks only
of gas, and shudders.
But the Chemical Warfare
Service, under the command of
Major General Will<n NJ. Por-
ter, can make a case for itself
that gas warfare isn't such a
terrible business at that.
You can get testimony from
distinguished scientists and sta
tistics from the Veterans Bu-
reau to support the theory that
gas is less horrible than other
weapons of modern war. DR..
James B. Conant, president of
Harvard and chairman of the
National Defense Research Com
mittee, is one who holds to this
view. The mere fact that the
Germans had learned of the
American development of Lew
isite, towards the end of the last
war, is supposed to have hasten
ed the German decision to ask
for an armistice. Veterans Blu
reau figures show that in the last
war, less than 2 per cent Of the

THREAT TO
ADVANCING TROOPS


Unless adequate anti-contami-
nation measures are taken, ad-
vancing troops that have used
gas in their attack must cross
the territory they have gassed.
That may explain why the Ger
mans have not used gas to date.
But it is known that the Ger
mans have large stocks of gas,
and it is known where their CEN
tiers of gas manufacture are To-
Gated.
1t is therefore anticipated that
tn Nazis are prepared and will
not hesitate to use gas when the
time comes. If they were forced
into retreat across Russia, il
il were a matter of a last stand,
back -to-the-wall defense, no one
believes the Germans would hes
itate to use gas. For instance, to
maintain their hold in Tunisia,
the Germans might be expect
ed to use gas, just as the Italians
used gas against the Philippians
when they couldn't lick the
barefooted natives any other
way.
Chemical Warfare Service Of
ficers. say the u. S. Army will
be prepared for the German gas
attack. when it comes, and fur
thermore, they will be able to
return gas attacks with interest.
Edgewood Arsenal alone Is
now turning out more gas in q
few days than was produced in
the whole World War. Edge
wood is just a pilot plant. Main
production of gas Is in arsenals
at Huntsville, Ala, Pine Bluff,
Ark. and a new plant just being
completed near Denver. Colo.
NEW GAS PROTECTION
FOR AEF
The gases are In the main the
same ones used in the last war,
though the concentrations and
the methods of producing them
have been perfected. as well as
the means of using them in war
fare. Every American soldier, as

gas casualties died, and the Vet
Grams hospitals today have prac-
tically no gassed cases. Some
consumptives were even cured
by gas.
GAS HELD NO WORSE
THAN BOMBS
From the civilian point of
view, the mere idea of gas war;
fare is Of course horrendous. The
mere threat of gas attack on
defenseless women and children
is a psychological weapon of no
mean Importance. There's moth
ing about war that can be made
pleasant, but to say that gas
warfare is any worse than high
explosives or incendiary bomb
ing is, according to the point Of
view Of the Chemical Warfare
tacticians, unfair to their branch
of the service.
The job of the Chemical War
fare Service is to be prepared
for gas warfare, and the entire
effort here at Edgewood Arse
nal is directed that way. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has declared that
the United States will use gas
only in retaliation, even though
this country is not a signatory
to the Declaration of Geneva,
outlaWing the use of gas in war
fare. Russia and Great Britain
are signatories to that agree
ment, but Japan and the United
States never ratified it so they
are free to use gas according to
the so-called laws of war.
Japan has used gas against
the Chinese on some 800 occa-
sions, when backed into a cor
ner or when unable to over
come a center of resistance by
other means. But so far the Japs
have not used gas against Amer
lean troops.
Biggest puzzle Of the war Is
why Hitler has not yet used gas.
The quick and easy answer
which General Porter gives to
that one is that so far, the Ger
mans haven't had to use it. More
than that, it would have been to
the disadvantage of the Ger
mans to use gas in their cam
paigns because it has been a war
of movement. Gas is primarily q
weapon for static or trench war
fare, or it is a weapon to be used
for defense or in retreat across
an enemy country.
