TOXIC SMOKE CANDLES “TO FEATURE FUTURE WAR Bureau of Mines Official Forecasts " Extensive Use for Screening R Soldier Troops. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., January 25.— | Toxic smoke candles, recently de- ‘veloped, will have an extensive use in futyre wars, in the opinion of L. 1. Shaw of the internal bureau of ! mines, who recently spoke on “Smoke | and Incendiary Material,” before the | Franklin Institute. .. _“Smoke candles, so called,” he said, “are small cylindrical boxes which are ignited by some sort of friction | device, and which contain smoke- producing mixtures. Their use is in| setting up a smoke screen close at hand, for after ignition they are sim- | ply set on the ground, not being | thrown or projected in any way. The | need is very apparent to make the movements of small groups of men close at hand possible. “The British sarly in the war. de- veloped very satisfactory smoke can- | dles, which were used by all the allies. The Americans also devel- open a candle which was satisfactory, but which did not get into production and use in France before the armi- stice. The smoke is normally white, must have maximum capacity, and be cool enough to prevent the setting up of air currents and thus rise from | the ground. It must be heavy, so as not to be displaced by the minimum amount of wind of low velocity. These requirements are admirably met by candles which produce a smoke con- sisting of zinc chloride. s “As regards the future of incendiary material, my own opinion, which opin- | ion, however, is substantiated by at | least some of the military critics, is that incendiary material, except for| small arms and long-range shell and drop bombs, will have at least a very | limited. and perhaps no use. The | flame projectors will probably never be used in a future war. Smoke ma- terial, on the other hand, will have a very extensive and ever-increaSing use. By the use of the smoke screen during an attack the casualties can be largely reduced. “There was in progress of develop- ment by the British and Americans during the latter part of the war smoke candles which would give a toxic smoke. The toxic material em- ployed was diphenylchlorarsine. Di- phenylchlorarsine is a solid which va- porizes in the heat of the candle, and is obtained in such a state of divi- afon that it will penetrate most gas masks. Such toxic smokes, of which there will probably be others de- weloped. will find a vesy extensive use in the future. It is the greatest step made thus far in the new use of smoke.” TRAGIC EFFECT OF WAR IN VIENNA IS CONFIRMED American Traveler Says That No- where in Europe Has He Seen Such Misery. January 28.—One Ameri- ean business man who recently visited this city was so surprised at the changes that had taken place in the once gay Austrian capital that he declared that “the panorama of misery” he witnessed here was the greatest shock of his life. Henry Barna of St. Paul, Minn., last visited Vienma ten years ago,| ‘when, as he said, there was “great fun” here. Recently he returned and spent about two weeks—long enough, he says, to know what he is talking about. “I mever dreamed.” said Mr. Batna to an American Red Cross repre- sentative, “that Vienna would show such tragic effects of the war. I have! been in nearly every capital of! Europe since the armistice, but no- where have I seen such Wholesale misery. Everything is out of joint. Everything, is uneertain.

There’s a man fn a fur coat carrying a handker- ehief Yull of food. He wouldn't be seen doing that when I was here last. He would be too proud.” Mr. Barna told of a visit he had) made a few days before to the Wie- | merwald. a great forest. an hour’s: street car ride from the center of | Vienna, where he saw a sight which | be likened to a mightmare. The peo- ple allowed to go there for wood | were emerging from the forest, their | backs heavily laden with the packs | of_fuel. | “There were hundreds of men, ‘women and children.” he said: “their | elothing d with the cold rain, and they were filing along the road- side: in an almost unbroken line, all Seaded for Vienna, stooped from the of or_seventy pounds pounds was their &d»w the inspectors with more that *There were many sorts of people $a that line.

JONCHEREY, France, January 28.— A iceremony in. honor of the first Prenchman killed in the war has just been held in this little village.
