PRECEDENTS FOR WARFARE BY GAS GERMAN PROFESSOR DIGS BACK INTO THE PAST. Idea of Using Chemicals to Destroy Enemy Is Almost as Old as War. In the following article, translated from a German paper, a German pro- fessor, Dr. Albert Neuburger, traces the history of past attempts to use poison -gas in war. Quietlyignoring the moral aspect of the question and the fact that modern nations, .includ- ing Germany, had pledged themselves to refrain from such methods, he treats them, under color of a learned disquisition, as though on a par with recognized military uses of chemistry, thus tacitly attempting to justify the revival of former barbarities. That he is conscious of the moral guilt of. this revival is shown by his efforts to shift the responsibility on the French. • ]Jr.- Neuburger writes as follows: "The idea of destroying the enemy by chemical substances is almost as ancient as warfare itself. At first, of course, its mode of application was of a concomitant, feature of the chemi- cal process which we call "oxidation.' It indicates tows that a substance is combining with the oxygen of the at mosphere. Hence the use of any in- cendiary medium is a kind of 'chemi- cal attack.' In the earliest ages, peo- ple meditated 'row to destroy the ene- my's dwelling -places or fortifications by fire caused from a distance. It is true that Homer was not acquainted with this mode of chemical attack from a distance, but it made its 'ap- pearance as early as in the Fifth Cen- tury before Christ. Back in 360 B.C. "About 360 B.C., Aneas described fire -compositions formed of various chemical substances to make them easily ignitable and hard to extin- guish. They consisted of pitch, sul- phur, tow, incense, and resinous wood -chips. The compound was put into pots, which were thrown, burn- ing, from besieged towns upon the 'tortoise' or shelter under which the besiegers tried to approach the walls. Later on, incendiaryarrows came in- to use, being shot from a distance against the wooden structures of the' opponent in order to set them on fire. The incendiary arrows were subse- quently enlarged, so that they were even shot from catapults. ' These in- cendiary arrows were called, in the Roman Army, 'falaricae.' They were provided, in water, generated heat sufficient to ignite, the petroleum, Which, on its part, developed sub- stance. But the light hydrocarburets disengaged from the evaporating pe- troleum, more especially benzine, formed, with, air, an explosive mix- ture. Thus explosions took place and enormousclouds of smoke and soot were developed. Then the sulphur also 'caught fire, and in its combus- tion formed a gas of very highly as- phyxiating action—viz., sulphurous FOR colds cin the chest or sore throats; for rheumatism or. stiffness; for sprains and cramps.

Thus we are al- ready corning near to the present-day methodsof fighting. It was impossi- ble to extinguish the fire, because wa- ter poured upon it only served to spread the petroleum, and thus pro- pagate the fire. But they went still further. Large syringes were, after the style of fire -engines, the mouths having the shape of dragons and other monsters with wide-open jaws. From these orifices the reek fire or other 'burning liquids, especially petroleum, was sGquirted towards the enemy, who fled, terrified and stupefied by the poisonous gases. Greek fire was still in use at the time of the Crusades, in the thirteenth century. after Christ, 'when it was employed by the Sara- cens against the Christians with the aid' of the devices just described, sub sequently, its secret was lost, but the idea still survives. A New. Basis. "It appears that it was not until the present war that German chemi- cal science succeeded in creating a new and better basis for chemical at- tacks. Again and again the reports of the French General Staff " have stated that the. Germans poured burn- ing liquid over the trenches. But the French 'themselves also make chemi- cal attacks. The report of the Great Headquarters of June '7, 1915, states that they poured a readily inflamma Me liquid upon the German trenches, but nevertheless failed to penetrate into Our positions. 'The enemy fled back to their own trenches with heavy losses'' But a chemical attack may not only be carried out by means of burning substances, but also by asphyxiating gases. We know, in fact, from the reports as to Greek fire—as given, for instance, by Vegetius„ and as handed down to use from the reports on the Crusades—that the sulphur mixed, with it filled the atmosphere with a gas having a highly asphyxiat- ing effect and irritating in nature, in- ducing coughing. But they were not ahyays in a position to employ sul- phur, and therefore tried to act by other means on the respiratory organs and olfactory nerves. Some of these substances, especially sulphuret of carbon, were employed in the Ameri- can Civil War, but they did not prove very effective. When chemists, learn- ed, subsequently, how to liquefy gas- es, new possibilities of chemical at- tack were presented. Liquid sulphur- ous acid and liquefied chlorine, on be- ing allowed to volatize, disengage enormous volumes of vapor. The French complain of the chlorine va- pors which have been used by the Ger- mans. But it is established bythe re- ports of the German headquarters' that they (the French) themselves had previously employed asphyxiating gases. The English now assert that they have invented masks which are a protection against these vapors, and, as reported in the London Daily Mail, such protective masks are sold in the streets of London in large tivantities. These are 'to be carried by the Lon- doners'in their pockets, to be put on immediately a German Zeppelin ap- proaches, in order to render ineffec- tive the 'chemical attack' likely to be made by the latter, as alleged, by gas bombs. Thus, in this instance, also 'chemical attack,' in its latest form, has led to measures of defence, and time only can tell whether these are really effective." TRUE BLUE -FROM GERMANY. The Secrets of Dye -Making Are Hard to Discover. It is a melancholy fact that the. serge from which our naval officers'. uniforms are made is dyed with Ger- man dye, says London Answers. English cloth -makers are trying to remedy this state of affairs, but the secrets of dye -making are not to be discovered in a moment. The basis of the true blue dye—indigo—is at hand for all to use, but apparently something more than indigo is need- ed in order that the cloth treated shall be dyed evenly and permanently. With an inferior dye you inerely pro- duce a "spotty" cloth, of no commer- cial value. • So great is the scarcity of the right dye, that it is said there will be prac- tically no blue serge by the autumn, except in the warehouses of tailors who have had the foresight to buy in advance of their needs. Already the price is up about fifty per cent. When indigo was first introduced into Europe no one would have it. The Germans themselves said that it was the "devil's dye," and,calied it "per- nici0msi corrupt,an,d co�rrrosive." Both the English clad Prencji authorities forbade people to use it. In England the prejudice against the new dye was so keen that commissioners were appointed to go 'round to ail places where it was likely to be, found and destroy it, About 'half, a ton of whalebone is obtained from ono whale,, its vahre being, roughly, $6,000. AN OPEN LETTER From a ,Well Known Methodist Clergyman of Interest to All Who Are Sick. One of the best known ministers in the Hamilton Conference is the Rev. Chas, E. Stafford, of Elora, Ont., who freely admits that he owes his present good health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mr. Stafford writes as follows: "Some years ago I was severely af- flicted for, a period of nearly four months. The leading physician in the town in which I was then stationed diagnosed my ease as one of complete nervous prostration,, brought on by over -work and which superinduced intercostal neuralgia and muscular rheumatism, from which I. suffered the most excruciating pain Bight and day for weeks. So weak and helpless did I become that my attendants had to handle me like an infant, raising me'np and laying me down with the greatest care, so intense were my suf- ferings. Acting on the advice of my doctor, and taking his medicine, I'did not seem to improve. One afternoon, while suffering great pain, the editor of the paper published in the town, and who was a member of the church of which I was then pastor, urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I was sceptical as to the medicinal qualities of all proprietary medicines, but on the strong recommendation of the editor, who had great faith in the medicine, I decided to try them. To my great surprise and supreme de- light, I soon found that the Pills were giving me relief, and after I' had taken seven boxes I was fully re- stored to health, Dr. Williams'. Pink Pills, under God, having made me a new man. Ever since,I have been better and stronger physically than I had been for a number of years. Three years ago, after an active ministry of forty-six years, I asked the 'Hamilton Conference of the Methodist Church to grant me super- annuation relation, which it did, but for.' more than.two years I have been supplying a charge which neces- sitates .a'drive of twenty miles every Sabbath. - To -day I am strong and hearty, without an ache or pain, and for my present physical condition! . I am indebted to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and can most heartily recom- mend them to the afflicted." ,p HANDLING OF EXPLOSIVES. Never, From First to Last, Let Light Come Near Powder. So general is the interest at the present time in the question of ex- plosives that some of the precautions necessary to be taken in handling them may be noted. Only implements of wood, brass, or copper shall be used in opening cases. containing explosives; never thaw powder near afire of any kind, or in hot water or steam, always thaw through some medium of radiation,. never by direct heat or contact; never use frozen or chilled powder; never put caps and fuse in a powder bag; never put unused or scraps of powder in boot -legs or on shelves of rock; never keep explosives in a damp place before loading; pever force powder into atight or caving hole; never lace a fuse through a stick of powder, this may crack the fuse and make a mis- fire or a burnt hole; all primers must be punched with a wooden pin and the cap inserted only in the end, and made fast by tying with string; never place a primer anywhere but on top of the last stick in the hole; never blast un- til sure that every entrance to the face being blasted is guarded; never light. a fuse until the charge has been thor- oughly tamped; tamping may prevent a premature explosion; never, from first to last, let light come near pow- der; be sure a light is not hanging directly over powder or caps; never get careless with powder; it is manu- factured to explode under certain con- ditions, and if it gets any chance at all it will do exactly what it was made for; keep it away from shock, sudden changes of temperature, fire, etc. ,p Must Talk to His Customers. A barber's shop is sometimes a try- ing place for men who dislike to hear other people gossip. The barber, especially if he has a :shop and is alone, must talk to his customers. In a country, shop a full -bearded and rather sour -looking gentleman was seated in the chap'. "Hair cut," said he. '"All right, sir," returned the barber. "How'll you have it cut?" "Short." "Party short, or middlin'1" "Very short." "I wouldn't if I was you, sir." "Why not?" "I don't think very short hair would suit you, sir." "Oh, yes it would. It would suit me exactly, I think" "Why do you think so, sir?" "Because I -shouldn't have to come here for a long time." "Oh!" The barber cut away in expressive silence.

London, .Sept. 22.—The events of the past three months make . it un- necessaryto demonttrate further how great is the effort which lies before us, if liberty is to be saved in Europe Now that Russia has been forced to evacuate', not only Galicia, hu Poland, every citizen of the 'Empire must be able to see' for himself that the war is likely to be a very long business indeed, and that the cause of Liberty will triumph only if we put forth our whole strength. Germany has produced no ' Napoleon. But in the forty years that her General Staff has spent in working out the theory of the conquest'of Europe' she, has created a military system and a na- tional organization unequalled by ' those of any of the Allies. By com- parison we are all somewhat ama- teur. . It will, therefore, be by our endurance, our courage and our numbers rather than by any superior- ity in .generalship that we must reck- on to win the war. Till recently ecentl nobody od Y Y fully realized these facts. in consequence as a na- tion and as an Empire we have so far failed to approach the problem of or- ganization for war in the spirit of ab- solute subordination of the conditions and controversies of peace to the su- preme necessities of war. It is this failure which is the root cause of the dissatisfaction and unrest which have manifested themselves in the body politic in the last few months. In one sense we have nothing to be ashamed of, The 'spirit and bravery of the individual have been beyond all praise. The figures for voluntary en- listment, the endurance and courage of officers and men by land and sea, the long hours spent by workers, male and female, in factory and workshop producing munitions of war, are an answer, final and conclusive, to the charge of degeneration in the nation- al ,stock. Nor have our actual per- formances in the field fallen short of what either we ourselves or our Allies had good reason to expect. -I8 would probably have been impossible by any other method to have produced a larger army, better trained and bet- ter equipped, and of better material, in so short a time. The task of the fleet has been discharged with such silent efficiency that.people are in- clined to' forget that it may " yet be the most decisive achievement of the whole war. Yet :there has 'been some national failure of method or purpose in, the war, though it is difficult to see exactly where it lies. It cannot be ascribed to delay in' achieving mili- tary ili- tarysuccess, or to a shortage of muni- tions. Both of these might have in- duced disappointment, but not the un- easy conscience which afflicts us to- day. The general nature of the trouble is well indicated in a letter written from the trenches in Gallipoli and received a' few weeks ago: War end, and at least something would be done. If the nation could'on.% realize that it is not fighting so'much against militarism, or for Belgium, or for anything else, but just against itself, against all that' which has kept us t where we are, instead of the living Empire we ought to be, there would be more hope.: Unless we first cast the beam out of our own' eye it is no use shrieking at the size of the mote in the eye of another nation, and until we do it our struggles and the heavy price of manhood we are pay- ing will really be as vain as they sometimes appear. Our light at pre- sent is a peculiarly thick darkness, and great because so few seem to know that it is darkness'and has been darkness even when:we thought it, light." We propose to consider this diag- nosis in two parts. First, as it con- cerns our conduct of the war, and second as it concerns our national mode of life, In substance the criti- cism of bur conduct of the war amounts to this, that as a nation we have not yet risen to the full level of our duty in this supreme crisis of the world, that we have spent much time in abusing the sins of Germany, while we have dealt lightly with our own, that we have' criticized our own Government unmercifully, and have changed' it, but that we have not yet begun to make the sacrifices and in- cur the discipline that are' necessary if we are to support our own brothers and our Allies at the front to the ut- most of our power. That individuals, and an immense multitude of them, have sacrificed their all, but that as'a community we have not pulled our•- selves together, nor abandoned abso- lutely the shibboleths of peace, nor. accomplished fully the three .things which really matter in war: - the or- ganization and disciplining of the whole population for the purpose of the war, the absolute suspension of every hindrance, however dear to capital or labor, which impedes the work of national supply, the husband- ing. of the resources of the nation by a rigid enforcement of public and private economy. That people are still left to serve only if they choose and when they choose, that industrial service is rendered by many employ." ers only' if5they are handsomely' paid for it, that trade union regulations restrictive of output are still enforced, that strikes occur, and that, through- out, money is squandered lavishly as if nobody could be expected to do his duty without being paid for it, and paidtaextravagantly at that. In con- sequence that, while ono section of the nation is enduring hardships and mak- ing sacrifices greater than any in English history for the sake of their fellows, the rest are still living at their ease, seeking pleasure and en- joyment as usual, and wasting re- sources which are vital if we are to make certain of victory for our cause. It is easy to lose sight of the im- mense amount of hard and efficient labor which is being put forth amid the confusion and turmoil incidental to the sudden transformation of the industrial, social and political life of a democratic and unwarlike State. When all has been said and done our effort has been prodigious considering our' unpreparedness for . war. But still in this charge there is funda- mental truth. We are now fighting the war with" oply half our national strength. One half of the nation, and that the smaller half, are sub- mitting themselves to discipline and to separation from relatives and friends, are suffering untold hard- ship, pain, and, in great numbers, are giving up their lives for their friends, while the other half are making no' equivalent contribution to the common cause. That is broadly true, and,,in- asmuch as it is true, it must be changed. We owe it to ourselves, to our brothers at the, front, and to our Allies to put our whole national strength into this war.

An Inatance'of the Refinement of Ger- man Barbarism. On the great silent service of the British Army Medical and Red Cross work among the wounded heroes there. is a fine article by the special corre- spondent of the London Morning Post. The following is an excerpt from it: "Then there was the little Scotsman. I saw him on his stretcher. This was back in the days of the Aisne. He and some dozen comrades had got cut off. ' They barricaded themselves in an old farm and doggedly held out to the last. When their last cartridge was spent the Germans broke into the place, and despite a homeric hand-to- hand fight in the interior of the farm, crushed out the little band by weight of numbers. "The boy was bayonetted all over and as a refinement of barbarism the Germans had his eyes put out. Yet, he still lived, how or why, or by what law of nature, the doctors confessed they did not know. When I saw him he had been made as comfortable as possible, but there was no hope. He was still able to tell his Story, and asked in broad Doric: `Gie's a -cigar- ette.' But almost with, the first savor, of the smoke his heart ceased to beat." "I write to voice that which I think many of us are feeling now, and more will be before we get much nearer the end of these times, and that is the wonder whether there are to be found anywhere the men who will at last ,rise to the required greatness and take hold of out poor blind -eyed coun- try and lead it, when its eyes are opened at last. I think many regard, as 1 do, this change of government as a pity, while fully recognizing that it was necessitated by our system. What we want is not a change of gov- ernment, but a change of system, and this last move smacks very strongly of an attempt to pour the new wine, which is already running (for those who have the eyes to see it) from this great treading of the wine press, into the old skins, and they patched at that.

Luxury Should Be Distasteful at a Time Like This. Rt. Hon. A. Bonar Law, Secretary for the Colonies, speaking at the great Guildhall (London) meeting which inaugurated the campaign for the popularizing of the British war loan of July, last, said: "Now, when wages are unusually high it would be a great thing if the wage-earners throughout the country would form the habit of laying aside something,: however small, every wee':, and lending it to their country when their country needs it. It would be a great thing for the State; it 'would also be a great and enduring advantage to the individuals who ac- quire that habit. But I am not going to dwell upon the advantages of thrift to the working classes. I believe in thrift, but I do not much value pre- cept. There is no task which would be more uncongenial to me, or one I should be less willing to undertake, than for a lean who is comparatively well off to preach the virtues of econ- omy to the poor. If that lesson is to. be driven home it must not be by any precept butlby example, and there is room for it. At a time like this, when our minds are at all times filled by the thought of what is being suf- fered and endured by those who are fighting for us, luxury of all kinds is distasteful."

'8 Little Girl Looked At It. A miserly landlord was going round collecting his rents the other day. At one house he was greatly interested in a little girl, who watched open-mouth- ed and open-eyed the business of pay- ing over the money and accepting the receipt. He patted her on the head, and started to search his pockets, say- ing—"I must see what I have for you." After searching his pockets for some time he at last brought from a remote corner a peppermint. As he handed it to the girl he said—"And, now, what will you do with that?" The little girl looked at it, then at him, and replied—"Wash it" 11Sinard's Liniment for Salo everywhere. 1' His Wedding Suit.

This question -recent- ly asked of a well-known bridge builder brought this reply: "Measured vibrations are more try- ing to any kind of bridges, and par- ticularly to suspension bridges, than irregular agitation.. Music alone would not strain a bridge enough to injure it materially, but a regiment of troops keeping step to music when crossing a suspension bridge would subject it to a very severe strain. Consequently, it is customary to stop the music before troops reach the bridges, and let themen break step, and march more or less irregularly. "The reason forr all this is obvious. The structure naturally will suffer least strain when at rest. .When in uniform motion the bridge acquires a momentum equal to its entire sus- pended weight multiplied by 'the velo- city of the motion. It is manifest that, in the case of a heavy structure, a uniform downward vibration, be it ever so small, would develop a mo- mentum of many tons in the direction of a breaking strain. The same dis- turbing forces acting irregularly, so as to counteract one another, would be far less trying to the structure. p _ SSSnard's Liniment Believes Neuralgia. Judge—"What is your name?"
