WARS WILL BE SHORT IDEAS, NOT ECONOMY THE CLERGY PROTEST THE KAISER GAZES By Arthur Brisbane (Copyright, 1926) By Arthur Brisban (Copyright, Nerd! Sir James Colquhoun Irvine, one of Britain’s greatest chemists, says future wars will be settled in a days, by poisonous gases drop) from airplanes. Nothing simpler than to beat a nation, by asphyxiating hun- dreds of thousands of millions, con- veniently crowded into cities. Victory will be with the nation that first sets its airplanes to work. This nation, with plenty of gold and little intelligence in government, lacks airplanes, and is sentimental- izing about ‘with poisonous gases, and their manufacture. If the next war should hit the United States and turn out . as disastrously as it probably would turn out; some respectable Americans might be less fortunate than the for- mer kaiser. Italy, by order of Mussolini, is on strict diet. Belgium forbids mak- ing white bread, and from the king down strict economy is to be tlie rule and law. France follows suit. Poincare reduces his meals to two dishes, difficult for the French, who know how to eat and will not have dinner without soup and salad or fruit. Many Frenchmen will make their dinner of a good soup Bonne, femme, and salad or fruit. All this is patriotic self-denial.
