SACRIFICE IN ATTEMPT
TO AVOID HOSTILITIES.
Paris, Feb. I. On July :',(,
I'.'l 1, the French goveriinioiil or
dered its troops to retire eight or
10 kilometres from tin- frontier,
havng heard the C"rman t roups
were moving toward it, Reno Vi
viani, former premier, h dared
in the chamber of deputies la.-1
night in the course of disclosures
concerning the orgin of the war,
wheh never before have been
made public. M. Vivi.mi was
prcmcr when the war broke
out.
'It w;is on July W)," he said,
"that the government of which
I was the chief, decided that the
Flench troops should retire
eight or ! kilometres from the
frontier. On the same day I re
quested Paul Cambnn (French
ambassador in Iondon) 1 y wire
to inform Sir Edward (Iiey of
the measure taken.
" 'England.' I said, 'will real
ize that if France is (inn, it is
uot she who is taking measures
of agression. Although Ger
niany has moved her troops up
on her battle line the govern
ment of the French republic in
tends to demonstrate that
France as will a- Pu--ia bears
no responsibility for the at
tack.' "
These rcmini-ceni es of the
momentous days of the la-t of
July. F.H I. rau.-.d the deputic
to arise and clmer the former
. premier.
M. Vi iani continued :
i "Could we ii k a mtirderoti
war upon the chance meeting of
patrols? We desired to proclaim
high before the woild that if
France were forced to light .-he
would do mi for light and ju--
tice and no, take advantage of
any equivocation.
"The withdrawal was (allied
out without meeting any obsta
cle cither technical or military.

WAR MOST
DDADI.Y OF
API,
Washington. Feb. I. - If the
peace conference doeMi't sound
the everlasting death knell on
wars, the next conflict will make
all preceding ones .seem like
child's play.
The next war--if there be a
next --will be the most horrible,
the most cruel of all wars which
have bet n wajred on the earth's
surface since the beeinnin of
lime.
For it will be a war of poison
ous Mes. a conflict in which the
scientific ingenuity of chemical
corps will be pitted against each
other.
Acii.il Toipedoc.s will ('auc
Deaths h Thousands.
Wholesale death will come to
hundreds of thousands, jinnies,
rmJj.-iHs, .uihi animal, wher-
)ever the lifctakinj fumes are let
loose. Machines will lire the.se
t! Aiinel s of poisonous ases in
to enemy ranks. Most of them
will be dropped by aerial chemi
;;d corps, and their bombard
ments not wrtrk cities v
camps, only the living w ill perisl.
ami when the conquerors come
into the vanquished area, they'll
find Ixtdics of human and beast,
but not a scar on building or
street.
There'll Ik- no icbuihlin of de-v;i-talcd
(ities after that war!
These are the thoughts upper
most in the mind; of the men in
the I'nited States chemical war
fare service, newest of the sei
vies in the I'nited Stas war
paitmcnt. which had jiM m.v ti
to pnid "assinj:" .shape when
the armistice was signed.
I'nilcd States Mas Thousands
Tons of (iiis'on Hand
The war ended w ith thousands
of tons of the most iMiisoiiotis
cases ever made, loaded in con
tainers and shells, stored alonjj
the Atlantic sealMianl, awaiting
shipment for "over there."
"On November 11 plants for
the manufacture of the standard
;ra-cs were in operation, with a
manufacturing rapacity greater
than that of Fngland. France
and Cermany combined, which
capacity could have been treb
led in the rase of certain gases
before the bginning of this
year," asserted Major (Ieneral
W. I.. Sibert, director" of the
service.
When the Hun threw up his
hands in unconditional surren
der there was. stored in one
American poison arsenal 10 tons
of "Mustard" gas to every one in
all Cermanv.
At the present moment we
have more war toxics th;in any
other country. There's enough
in one American arsenal to kill
millions of human beings, and no
one knew that better than Ger
many's secixt service when she
quit fighting.
Put these thousands of tons
of poison gases will not be stored
away for the "next war." For,
maybe, there'll be no "next." So
something will have 1.0 be done
with this arsenal of concentrated
death. The war department is
thinking of hauling the U. S. A
antidote for fiendish scientific
ingenuity of the Hun away out
into the ocean and dropping it
overlioard. It is virtually use
less commercially.

Rome, Headquarters of the
Italian Army, Dec. :U. The dis
tressing cllccts of the war and
of Austrian occupation s till are
evident in the reconquered pro
vinces north and east of the
Piave. The country in the vi
cinity of Otlero, a small village
about six miles from the lower
course of the Piave, is a ; cine
of utmost desolation. It was
here that the Duke of Ao.sta's
army advanced so .swiftly and
deeply into the Austrian lines as
to threatt'n the eommunication.s
of the Austrian army occupying
Conegliano, thus forcing the
Austrians to retreat. So intense
was the bombardment that very
little is left standing in the coun
try all around Odcrzo. Many ol
the houses are merely heaps, of
debris.
The village of Odero itself
was not so seriously damaged as
were the outlying hou.;es. as the
Italian artillery-men tried to
spare it, but it bears uiimi tax
able signs of Austrian occupa
tion. The villagers declare that
the Austrian., took aw ay not on
ly their church bells but their
clothes and even the panes of
glass from windows, the doors,
kitchen utensils and in fact lit
erally everything that could Im
removed. The parish prieit sav
ed some of his household uten
sils and several barrels of wine
by hiding them in a barn behind
a heap of coffins.
Owing to the fact that the
population was greatly weaken
ed by lack of food, the influenza
claimed a high percentage of vic
tims. In Odcro, iJU'l -i"a!I chil
dren were buried in one scar of
Austrian occupation out of a
population of 2, 1 nu. Th-' condi
tion of the people still is desper
ate as alxnit half of them are t l
with inlhieiiza while ilothiur
and food are almost imdbt : r.
able.
When the Associated Press
correspondent visited O l to re
cently there were !"( patients in
the civil hospital lying on straw
on the lloor, without Plankits
while the building had neither
windows nor diHir.s. The single
physician who. with the aid of a
few nuns was attending them
lad no th ug's and his only surgi
cal instruments was his lWkot

This situation is said to f re-
vail in nearly all the reconquer

it is declared, have virtually
