Chemicals in Warfare By FREDERICK J. HASK1N
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31. The next war, if it comes, will in all likelihood be fought to a large extent with chemicals. The amazing development of this form of warfare in the late world struggle coupled with the fact that peace-time commercial chemical plants can be transformed immediately into formidable munition plants, is sufficient! to guarantee this. Contrary to general lopular opinion, flffhtin? with pacea ,c eaiH tn hf far

high explosives, 46,449 died, or more than 24 per cent It is evident from these figures that the man Injured by gas alone had more than 12 times as good a chance o recovery as the man injured by high explosive shells or bullets. Other comparisons are quite as striking. The official records show that 66 men. were totally blinded in the war, 44 were partially blinded in both
and C44 were blinded in one
course, which will be given on Jan. . 16, 17 and 18. Experts from Purdue will conduct
the classes, some of the most prom-j
inent from eacn department saving been secured. P. G. Riley will give poultry instruction, from actual bird3 themselves; Lynn Robertson will lec--ure on farm management; J. W. oenwab will give the livestock work on horse improvement and swine raises, and Miss Florence Boston will present the home management part of the program. Night sessions will be held also," at which first class entertainment together with lectures of a popular character will be presented and numbers of the townspeople of Liberty are expeting to attend these less technical programs. With this eighth Union county short course special efforts are being made by the organizations interested to get out all their membership and to induce others, not only citizens of the county but also from nearby counties, to attend, regardless of membership or . non-membership in any organization.

of the army, in his latest annual re
port, published Interesting figures to prove that chemical warfare is more
humane than conflict with bullets and high explosives. The blame for every conceivable sort of illness has been laid at the door of war gases, including diseases of the central nervous system, heart and blood vessels, the respiratory tract aud the digestive system. Thi3 was because chemical warfare on a large scale was new, and little was known of the after effects. But a careful study of the subject has been made by the War Department during the past eight months, during which time some 3,500 letters were sent out to leading medical people throughout the world to obtain their views. Also 1,200 claims for War Risk benefits were examined. The rtsult of this thorough investigation to the inescapable conclusion that gas, on the whole, causes no permanent disabilities. It was found by investigation not only here, but in Germany, England, France and Switzerland, that there is no direct evidence that tuberculosis is an after-effect afflicting gas victims. In addition to this phase of the investigation, Jetters were sent to manufacturers of chlorine, heavy chemicals and other materials that produce gases similar to those used in war. The answer to these letters in every case was that they had never observed perma
nent aisaDinues resulting from ex
posure to these gases, and that as a matter of fact, during the many years
these chemicals had been manufac
tured, the question had never come up before.
Figures for the Army and Navy, ex
cluding the Marine Corps, show that in the World War 258,336 men were injured Of this number, 34,249 died
on the field of battle. There were 13,C91 who died in hospitals. Of this number 70.552 were suffering from gas alone, and only 1,221 died. Brigadier General Amos A. Fries, chief of the Chemical Warfare Service of the United States Army, estimates that less
than 200 men actually died on the field of battle as a result of gas atacks, since concentration of gas sufficient to kill within 12 hours was seldom obtained. Assuming that 200 died on the battlefield from chemical attacks, General Fries point out, the total deaths from gas would be 1,441, less than 2 per cent of the 70,752 gas cases. - Of the 187.556 injured by bullets and
of 29. These 29 were 3.85 per cent of all those suffering blindness in one or both eyes. In other words, bullets and high explosives were responsible
for 25 times as many blinded as was chemical warfare. Chemical Warfare a Peace Insurance "In defending chemical warfare," says General Fries, "we are not pleading for war; we are pleading for peace. To the practical man the only way
tacks and atacks from the air more than anything else. It Is evident, according to General Fries, that a nation with a large development of commercial airplanes and a thoroughly developed chemical industry could wage a tremendously powerful war without a single cannon or machine gun. According to the general, gases will put out of commlsEion from three to ten times as many enemy soldiers as bullets and high

BETHEL, Ind., Dec. 31. Election of officers for the next year's institute, and enrollment of about 80 members with collections of more than $20, assured the success of next year's farm-
explosives, but the deaths would only j ers' institute in Franklin before the
be about one-tenth as great as from ; conclusion of the present year's insti
old style fighting.
"If an army unprepared with gas should meet an enemy thoroughly prepared to use gas, utter disaster would befall the nation unprepared," General
Fries said. "The unprepared army could j
not face the prepared army for a day, and with airplanes pursuing, could not escape. There would be only one thing annihilation or surrender."

to make war so powerful and so quick and so certain against the armed forces of the enemy that war will become intolerable. "No chemical warfare officer has ever defended frightfulness In war," the general continued. "The whole service is strongly against the use of gas as well as bombs or artillery shells against cities or other groups of un
armed men, women and children. They i
believe, however, that there should be no limitation on the use of these weapons against the armed forces of an enemy, whether on land or sea. Each side, knowing that gas is to be used, will provide itself with masks and gasproof clothing and will suffer less deaths and permanent disabilities by far than if the same number of men were injured by other methods. Modern war has aimed at putting men out
of action as far as possible without
Killing or permanently injuring them. The records of the war show conclusively that gas is beyond question the best war material ever invented for that purpose." Chemical Plants Admit of Industrial Use Many of the war gases have great peace time uses. Most of those which
have not such uses are made by the !
same classes of machinery', and by the same methods, as our medicines, our perfumes, our photographic chemicals, our dyes and even our phonograph records. In some instances there is needed only one shift in a process to make' a valuable chemical compound into a powerful gas. An example of this is the change in the manufacture of indigo to mustard gas. It follows, therefore, that preparation for chemical warfare is highly eco
nomical, requiring no large outlay of j
funds during peace times. During the war, chemicals cost about $150,000,000. while for other war materials handled by the ordnance department about $6,000,000,000 was spent Yet it is known now that at the conclusion of the struggle, the Germans dreaded chemical at-
