Erpert Declares That Modern Warfare Depends on It New York, Aug. 24,—Whole armies put to sleep and taken prisoner in gas warfare is by no means an impossi- bility 25 years hence, Col. Raymond F.yBacon, chief of the Technical divi- sion of the Chemical Warfare service, A. E. ¥, says In a description of the possibilities of the future art of war made public by the American Chemi- cal society, - The $2,000,000 spent on the re- search organization did more toward winning the war, Col. Bacon asserts, than any other $200,000,000 spent in other ways. . One of the greatest les- “~sons of the war has so far gone al- most ‘unheeded, according to Col. Ba- con, who continues: “To say the use of gas in warfare must be abolished is almost the same as saying that no progress must be made in the art of warfare toward | making it more efficient or more hu- mane. If one reads of .the great bat- tles of history, one will find that the victorious general conquered his en- emy usually because of the fact that he 8o chose his position as to have his.flank protected by river, mountain range or some naturally strong lLar- rier. “‘Much of the strategy of these bat- tles consisted in maneuvering so as to obtain the- advantage of position. With the use of gas it is possible to ~saturate a piece of ground so that no troops can cross it, and thus make an artificial barrier for the flank or pro tect the lines of communication. Moreover, these artificiual barriers can be. kept barriers for just as short a time as the strategy.of the particular battle demands. These are but hints, but show the tremendous unexploited possibilities of gas in warfare, been a great outery as to prohibiting the horrible new mode of warfare, and it must have been felt that it was very unfair to stand off 200 yards rather than to meet in combat man to man. “But no one looking back on that period would attempt to say that it was possible to have stayed the hand of progress and to have preventod by any legislation or agreement the use of gunpowder in warfare. Moreover, the consensus of opinion today wo_uld be that the hand to hand fighting with spear and sword was more cruel and inhumane than the fighting with the gun and the bullet. Similarly, at the present. time we cannot effectually stay the progress of science, and to attempt to do 8o is not only unwise but fs also preventing the possibilities of a really more himane type of war."” SWEDEN FACES NEED " OF HELPING FARMERS Crucial Problem Because Agriculture Has Failed to Keep Pace With General Recovery From War Stockholm, Aug. 24, — A crucial problem in Sweden has arisen from the failure of agriculture to keep pace with the general recovery from post war depression, In the effort to help the farmers to fairer profits on their investments, the Riksdag and govern- ment have studied the question of re- stricting the imports of grain, and ef- ficiency experts, following scientific agricultural research, have suggested ways and means of reducing the cost of production. But all this so far has been of little help. The farmers are at an economic disadvantage becauss, while the gen eral price index in Sweden has come down to 70 per cent above the pre- war prite level, the selling price for grain has been forced down to 10 per cent above the pre-war level, Yoice of a Mature Woman Letty Noles is but 15, but alréady has the deep, rich, mature soprano voice of a mature woman.
