DECIDE ACTAINST PROHIBITION OF GAS IN WARFARE Subcommittee Unanimous in Its Report to Arms Conference. U/S. POSITION UPHELD WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—A unanimous report against prohibition of poison gas as a weapon of warfare has been submitted to the arms conference by the subcofnmittee appointed to consider that Question, it was learned on highest authority today. Contrary to widely published reports, there was never a deadlock in this committee and the delegates of the United Stgtes. G-eat Britain and Franco, throughout the deliberations, have been in substantial accord as to the essential principles to be applied to chemical warfare. Any differences of opinion which may have developed resulted from the attitude takens-by Italy and Japan, the two nations which admittedly are in an inferior position with regard to the possibilities of developing chemical warfare. SUBCOMMITTEE FROM FIVE LEADING POWERS. Widely published reports to the effect that the conference would restrict, if not entirely abolish, the use of gas, undoubtedly had their origin, it was explained, in the fact that the American advisory committee had recommended such abolition. This committee, how-ever, reports only to the American delegation, while the subcommittee previously referred to is made up of representatives of the five leading powers, who report directly to the full conference. Os the two nations which dissented somewhat from the majority view, Italy stood out longest for the abolition of poison gas, it was stated contending that chemical warfare is not only inhumane, but that it is not susceptible of control. A wave of poison gas liberated upon a favorable wind, the Italians contended, might not only penetrate to the innermost recesses of enemy trenches, but might very easily pass on to wreak havoc among villages of women, children and other noncombatnuts. The Japanese delegation also emphasized the alleged inhumane side of chemical warfare AMERICAN POSITION SET OUT IN DETAIL. The American/ position, which is conmurred in by /the British and French delegates, is: / 1. That gas As an accepted weapon of warfare. havg been used by all bel-* ligerents in #ie late war. 2. That Wfcrld War statistics prove it to be than bullets or high explosive>4f 3. it has proved itself an effective that history shows efficient of warfare are never aban for n more efficient weapon. the susceptibility of the wea*!p|jpo secret development in connection commercial chemistry, makeß It to talk of restricting Its use by H That because of the scientific knowlrequired, poison gas is the principal K'apon of highly civilized nations against ■o-called race perils. f 6. That the United States would be ninwise to abandon chemical warfare lnUsmuch as the great number of developed chemical industries in the United Jfcates and the multitude of trained chemiß% olaees the United States in a position of peculiar advantage. It is -regarded as extremely unlikely that the conference will go contrary to the recommendations of its subcommittee. Should the conference place any re strlction whatsoever upon the use of poison gas, it lb thought that these restrictions will take the form of some general statement concerning the use of gas against unfortified cities and noncombatants,

HAYS REPORT x STARTS WILD speculation; (Continued From Page One.) lng around for the person who would be most likely selected by the Governor. To many that Individual is Arthur R. Robinson, Judge of Superior Court, room 4. The judge unsuccessfully sought the senatorial nomination when Senators New and Watson staged their memorable contest in 1916 and since that time, especially after he was discharged from the Army with an enviable record, he has figured largely in gossip connected with the Senate. Only recently Judge Robinson let it be known that he would not become a candidate to succeed hlfaseif on the bench and this led to clnsideraole talk that he was contemplating again seeking the senatorial toga, even to the point of entering a triangular fight with Senator New and Albert J. Beveridge. Judge Robinson has been a close political and personal friend of Governor McCray and there are many who believe that should it devolve upon the Governor to select a Senator his first choice would be the judge. In that event the appointee could enter the Jpring primary with a tremendous asset —the asset of already being a United States Senator —and in the event be Is succesful the same perquisite would prove a valuable factor In the coming campaign. CLOSE FRIENDSHIP OF HARDING AND NEWI\ Many of the speculators, returning to the situation in Washington, feel that If Mr. Hays leaves the Harding Administration that Senator New stands first In line as his successor. The Senator’s intimacy with President Harding is well known and it is also declared that the President is a little loath to see his trusted confidante return to Indiana and place his hope of returning to the capitol in the whimsicalities of a Hoosier primary. The logical thing, it Is pointed out, for President Harding to do is to insure the retention of his aid for the next three years by giving him an appointive position in his Cabinet. That the Senator is regarded of Cabinet caliber is well known, for at the time the President was selecting his advisers Senator New was frequently mentioned as a probable choice for Secretary of War. Many still believe that if the President had not been beholden to Mr. Hays, who hailed from Indiana, he would have chosen the Hoosier statesman. BEVERIDGE POSITION STILL IN DOUBT. ""^ithTThT*question of whether former Senator Beveridge is to become a candidate for the senatorial nomination still unsettled, this speculative turn in Hoosier polities has given anew angle to political gossip. Mr. Beveridge, according to his close friends, has not determined whether he will be a candidate against Senator New. whom all admit has already effected a powerful organization. With the removal of Mr. New, however, a different situation will be created. It Is not likely that Senator News successor, no matter how high he stands in his party councils, can summon to his aid the machine that is all oiled up and ready to support the present Senator. In that event the field will he more or less open to all comers.

The active club members each year are subjected to a test in order to determine their fitness for continuing their membership. This year it was of an educational nature and consisted of a severe mathematical rest and a test of discernment in matters of art. A business session Is always held and each active member is elected to ssm@ office. George W. Pearcy was continued as president, O. B. Altvater as vice president, Edward B. Soltau as membership committee, C. E. Gielow as entertainment committee, F. L. Riggs, heretofore historian, was elected secretary, and R. E. Guild was elected historian.
