HE French papers have
printed some carefully cen-
sored accounts of the
asphyxiating gases used by
the Germans on the Flanders' front
anti in. Picardy. According to an of-
ficial statement in Le Caducee, the
journal of the medical corps of the
French army, the effects must have
disappointed the enemy, awl, many
of the cases of "gassing" were realty
due to the recklessness of individual
soldiers.
The story is that soneet men -s -
overwrought, Possibly, by the heavy
bomba,rdnaente watching and re-
sponsibility --dropped. their masks.
Other men had their masks torn
away by shot or they lost them in the
fury of the engagena.ents which fol-
lowed the first assault with gas
. shells. Yet they fought out in the
fume -laden atmosphere and watched
with their handkerchiefs before their
faces until they were relieved or un-
til some purifying wind drove away
the poisonous clouds.
It was in these circumstances that
officers and men gave proofs of a kind
of heroism which this war has de-
veloped for the firet time and which,
shows itself before the gas speare.
It is remarkable that the number
of casualties from gassing was re-
latively small, so small that in the
French Senate it was stated that re-
ports Qt a pessimistic nature must
emanate from German sources. The
clearing stations treated e modest
percentage. As most of these men
complained of bronchitis dee to the
long exposure to poison gas, the
question. which mainly interested
'the medical • °peers was whether
ctubereulosis could arise in this way
or me a secondary result of breathing
the pollitted air. It was found that
tuberculosis did occur, although in a
relatively few cases, and these men
were studied apart for two special
reasons.
One was to devise meane of pro-
tection and the other was to disprove
the exaggerated reports which were
started by the Germans that tuber-
culosris was especially prevalent in
the French army and among French
• prisoners of war. These reports were
stamped as malicious fabrications in
the French Senate and the actauel
number of the tuberculosis soldiets
was officially put at a much lower
figure than has been current even in
well-informed` and loyal circles.
The exaggerated figures were
shown to be the result of mistakes.
The bronchial symptoms were pro-
duced by poison gas. In most of
these easels the irritation of the

But titter an,» theee ame but aca-
dentle prejudices which tend to dis-
tort the facts. The geographical
argument for internationalization of
the river cannot be gainaaid. One,
.hardly needs to be assured that the
Rhine is, in esSence, the common pro-
perty of several nations, that "The
Watch on the Rhine" is an anachron-
ism as a German call to sole watch
and ward. It fits into neither our
age nor our modern sense of the
growing interdependence of natioas.
Its sentiment suevtves from the per-
iod of the Holy ReMan Empir.e, when
the Hapsburgs ruled over the entire,
course of the etreara withia their -
ramshackle states, and moderh Ger-
many had not yet emerged. Most em-
phatically the Rhine is not and never
has been a purely German river, and
its custody rigbitfully devolves con-
jointly upon the, nations who own its
banks.
The question of the internationa-
lization of the Rhine has just /how
come up in an acute form through
Germany's arch schemes, not only to
bring the river havigation under her
exclusive control, but to place Swit-
zerland in a state of economic slav-
ery to.. her. Since the forcible
transference of Alsace-Lorrance to
Germany, in 1871, there has been a
censistent endeavor on the .part Of ,
the Germans te avoid fulfillment of
the terms of the treaty. The effect
of the treaty was to facilitate free
navigation between Switzerland, Ger-
many, Hollande Belgium, and Great
Britain. The object of the Germans
was to make Swiderland dependent
upon Germany for her coal and iron,
and to force the republic into com-
mercial and iadustrial dependence.
To effect this purpose, tae Germans
willfully negledted the navigation of
the river between Strassburg and the
frontiers of Switzerland at Basle,
They not only failed to maintain the
channel in a peeper manner, but, by
the constructlen of low level railway
bridges, prevented any but the small-
est vessels from passing underneath.
The Germans are now plotting a fur -
h ofthe Rhine Act, by the
of great power stations

fects diSaameared eater a short inter-

medical report states that tb.e rumor

were suffering from the &feats of

the front, after the recent bombard-
ments, the disease had been M •a

had been called into life by exposure.

. The Curiosities of Pain.
That a high-speed rifle bullet may
pierce a man and cause him so little
pain that he is unconacious of his
wound has been long known. A
slower ballet would- s cause rconealbro
able pain arid ishock. Dr. George -W.
-Crile finds] an explanation 'of this
and similar pheneectena in his re-
-seerches in the evolution of actions
and Meeponees. The evolution of or -
gene has been pretty thorougaly
worked out, but the evolution, of
!functions of organs is a new thing.
During the bang course of develop -
latent of man and his ancestors swift
piercing and laceration such, as ine
facted by -a high speed_ bullet were
:not encountered, and hence no pain
reaction aeainst theta would evolve,
white slow lacerations were rer0)3t
common, and the uzefulness of being
cooscious ot them in the keen way
of ' pain is most evident.
Such is the insensibility of the hu-
man organism to an uncommon slot
of injury that according to Dr. Crile,
"a device of exquisitely sharp knives
driven at superlatively high speed
might cut the body to pieces with-
out causing any pain whateVer,"

a new book, "An Orkney Maida' in
-which she tells _how the Red Cross

Mrs. Barr, the motive for the 'Red

ing:
• "The commonest accessories of a
hospital are wanting; there is not
the least attentioh paid to decency
or cleanliness; tb.e stench is aapal-

just beginning to discover, and
are looking anxiously into the
e and constantly asking,
at will be our relations with ,
America after the war?" We glean
troni. the press that this question is'
askedsnot only in the industrial cen-
tres but at the great Shipping ports
its well, and tfim general opinion
aeenes to be that America will "use
every._ effort to harm German inter-
ests" by barring Germany from all
the raw products she bought from
us *fore the war. As usual, the Gems
merit papers indulge in bombast rath-
er than • fact, and grandiloquent
threats are made as to what the
Fatherland will do to us if we don't
t believe ourselves after the conflict.
' For example,- the Berlin Deutsche
Zeiteng says:
"H America. sells us no cotton.
she 1?thall get no potash, which is a
• fertilizer almost indispensable' to
impciverished agricultural land.
GerMany has a world-menopoly of
potash. If America gives is no gaso-
line and no grain, she shall get no
dyes; no drugs, no glassware, no opti-
cal instruments —lin fact, nothing
that; Germany has exported to the
United States in tie past.
"is,not Yet known, in Germany
to what extent the Unitest-StatesewM
depead upon us for such imports af-
ter the war, but we may generaliy
assatne that none of the other belie-
gernits nor any neutral country will
be able to take our Place as a pro-
ducer of all the goods that America
used, to buy from us."
- Atter all this sound and fury, 'it
is refreshing - to turn to the official
Norddeuts6he Atlegemeine Zeitung .
arid learn, despite all the boasting,
Geratany wiM haere practically noth-
ing to export when the war is over.
The economic pressure which we
and our allies aave exerted upon
Gertriany through' the blockade is so
severe, that factories are everywaere
being glut down tbreugh lack of raw
material. Here is the official organ's
sorry tale:
"Out of 1,700 spinning' and.
weaving mills, only 70 are still
running at high pressure, while in
the boot and shoe industry -1,400
factories have 'been amalgamated
into 300. ln the oil industry, 15
factories working at high pressure
have been formed out of. 720 works
previously existing. In the silk in-
dustry the number of spools has
been meduced tram 4,00.0 to 2,500."
This btate of affairs is terrifying
to the economists of Germany.

Unshaven Sailor Has Post Once Held
by General.
The topsjoturvy change which has
taken place in Russian life with the
advent of the rule of the Bolsheviki
is graphically shown by the situation
in the Governor's palace at Vologda,
where the foretgn embassies haie
made their headquarters. since leav-
ing Petrograd.
In that palace, where now sits the
Vologda government soviet there is
a sailor who is in confma,nd of an
important military post -- once held
by a general. Two months ago the
oailor wore his open -throated blouse
and belled trousers and. was un-
shaven: A Month ago the correspon-
dent saw him, this time in trim, light
grey uniform, with slick, shining
high boots.
On tbe day of writing a carriage,
with two fine horses, passed the cor-
respondent's izeoschik on the River-
side drive of Vologda. Seated in 'the
carriage was an elaborately uniform-
ed young man, his right arm, Rus-
,siala fashion, clasping the waist of a
very pretty girl.
