Werlin, May 24 UP—Anti-gas measures in modern warfare arc characterised as a delusion by the . investigating “international commit- tee of Red Cross experts,” which re- cently convened in Bruasels. In the “German Women Doctor's Monthly,” Dr. Gertrude Woker de- scribed how the committee’s inves- tigations clearly proved that for the civilian population in a war of the future no protection existed. Th2 futility of seeking asuch protective ' 'measures, she said, was a parent from the fact that all nations are busy producing new forms of gus which they are carefully keeping secret from each other. As to the pregress made in this most devastating form of warfare, the Red Cross was able to glean much startling enlightenment. It was learned, for instance, that Brisanz shells with time fuses are being made which when dropped from airplanes bury themselves in the earth, exploding 4, 6, 8, 12 or even 36 hours later. Against such deadly missiles even the best organ- ized rescue squads would prove un- availing. Moreover, every military attack of the future, the Red Cross experts believe, will comprise at lcast three different kinds of arms. Each of which renders the protective meas- ure for one incompatible for the other, A gas mask is not only not pro- tective against corrosives, but indi- viduals affected by such a corrosivc poison must also be excluded from dugouts to prevent others from be- ing infected by them. No Safety Anywhere “Let us assume, rites Dr. er, “that the frantically hurrying refugees who have not been trampl- ed underfoot in the panic have fin- ally reached such a haven agaiust &as attacks. But instead of diving down into safety they will be con- fronted by a sign prohibiting those ng them infected with mustard #as from entering the dugout, and who like outcasts will be hounds=il from one place of safety to an- other.” For mustard gas is a corrosive that cannot be wiped off, but on the contrary; is diffused over a large area when ‘touched. A single c rier of mustard gas suffices to infect all the inmates of a dugout, as no protective clothing or mask against mustard gas exiats. After discussing the possibilities for evolving a reliable system for sending out an alarm to the civilian on of an impending gas at. tack, the committee resolved “ti none of the recommended measurcs for safeguarding humanity offers an adequate protection for. the civilian population against poison gas at- tacks and that a future chemical ‘warfare is likely to produce the most frightful catastrophe among a coun- try’s nemcombatants. BIG GOLD DEPOSIT NORTH OF MANILA New Ore Field Betieved to Be of Immonse Yalue Manila, May 24 M—An immense- valuable ‘deposit of gold is reported te ‘have been found along the Angat river, 25 miles north of Manila. The lowest estimate of its value by min- ing men was’ fixed at $20.000,000 and the highest at $50,000,000. To the extent of its known limits, the deposit has been entirely staked out by 19 Americans, all of whom are either members or employes of an _engineering concern here. od the region and found the quarts ledge. Since the laws of the Philippines provides that enly one claim may be staked by an individual, Cushing fa- vored his friends and co-workers by staking the remainder of the vein in their names. The discovery will not bring a new induatry to the is- lands, for gold mining is centuries old in the Philippines. When the Spaniards came more than three hundred years ugo they found that the natives in & number of aections mined the precious metal from the streams. They still do so today. How- ever, gold mining never progressed beyond small scale operations during the Spanish regime. The Americans, since their arrival 31 years ago, have developed one highly profitable gold property.

A. Hutch- ison, the first editor announced in launching 50 years ago the little ‘magasine. Packed - with - clean, wholesome stories ‘of adventure and with prac- | tical lr}&cle: and sketches on “How to do" things, the “B. 0.

The long list>of contributors to *The Boys Own” is bright with the names of men who have won im- mortal fame in - he-boy.literature. The paper's readers include men of eminence in every walk of life—one of whom now sits in .an imperial throne, while others rule the des- tinies of a mighty empore. Famous Authors Before he created “Bherlock Holmes,” A. Conan Doyle (now Sir Arthur) was writing Christmas stories for the *“B. O.

Sea stories proved to be perhaps the most popular type of fiction in the great variety which the “B. O. P." offered its eager readers. Indian stories | were -for long in great de- mand; “The Red Man's Revenge” was the title of a succemsful tale. Stirring narratives of the American 'Wild West” and cowboys were long & great feature.
