Show THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, SEND AT MORNING, OCTOBER 17, 1926. Like the Bouquet of a Rare Old Wine ALL THIS WEEK TODAY Starting With the Matinee This Afternoon. It was decidedly an odd spectacle, of the world war that of cheating for poison gas at the convention of the Am'ericaai Legion in that the Philadelphia. It seemed cheers must have emanated from those who had never come In contact with the deadly fumes or had never been compelled to wear a gas mas for any length of time Neither is a very pleasant experience. aa And also it seemed that i only a ear or two ago- - that the civilised world was horrified by the news that the Germans had used poison gas against the British on the western front. Even those who mere trying to be neutral in those early days of the world conflict denouned this "barbarif" and could find no excuse for it mhatsoeer. Tet the gas of that first attack was a simple vapor compared to the lethal creations which later came into general use on both sides of thd line. The British excused their adoption of gas as an expedient of "fighting When the the devil mith fire United States entered the war gas mas an accepted weapon of offense Just now it Is being hailed In some Quarters as a humane weapon. The theory of this humanity is that gas either puts a aoldter out of action and does not kill him, or else It kills him so quicklv and painleealy that It la much to bs desired to the bullet of a machine gun or tha splinter of a high explosive shell. Just as one is about to be convinced of the humanity of gas along will come some advocate of aviation and promise that with a sizeable fleet of airplanes and plenty of bombs filled mith the newest of the most deadly gasses It mould be an easv matter to kill every human being on Manhattan Island In less (than half an hour. This expression of humanltv must be on the theory that mar itself la a humane institution, much to be admired. Scottish educator and scientist, who maa in charge of chemical research for tha British government during the war or during the large portion of the war which followed the first gae attack at Yprea. 8tr Jamee took issue with the American chemists that the production of poison gas is essential and called the making of these lethal vapors a "prostitution Of science " He advocated an agreement among the chemists of the world themselves uot to produce gjs for the destruction pf humankind 8ir James agreed With those who contended that in time of mar probably no nation could be depended upon to keep a treaty forbidding the use of gas. He aieo recognised the fact that In devising a defense against gae it wee necessary to consider always the offensive properties of this new weapon and he agieed that both offensive and defensive gas research was bound to go ihead Asked for a logical solution then of the whole problem. Sir James replied: "All warfare it hateful."

Thle riot nearly occurred when some unhappy individual recalled the fact that during the early stages of our , participation in the world war an effort was made by certain elements in this country to paste the label of "Sammies on the American troops in France.
