In the early morning hours, the me sonad raided the Cnnrreas hnM. where one of the social events of the year was in progress, and Day Man son, one of the most popular juvenile actors in town, was arrested. He merely had a flask on each hip, according to police. Guests at cabarets and jazz gardens hecame terrified as men thought to inked parties to patrol wagons Dense they were drinking liquor. Official smellers entered hotels and cabarets, whiffed every glass and broke up pre Xew Year celebrations.

Public Surprised. While these ra were in nrnr. ress, Arthur Burrage Far well, president of the Chicago Law and Order league, declared that the 3 a. m. brakfast dances at country clubs were held to give members more time to drink.

Hundreds of police were busy throughout the day raiding "black and tan" resorts in the black belt, and pinochle sessions were interrupted in practically every saloon in town by inquisitive police. So great was the public clamor against this police activity, which starred Saturday, that newspapers printed prohibition laws in full, or part, annday to quiet indignation. Laws Explained.

A dredge anchored off Grand island began to drift toward the falls, but managed to find anchorage by digging its steel dipper into mud on the river bed.

Niagara Flooded. Seldom has such a volume of water poured over the brink of the Niagara cntaract as today. The waters ot Erie crowded into Niagara river, causing a swirling flood where usually thre are only a few scant inches. Such floods poured over the precipice that the pier of the Maid ot the Mist was submerged. Many islands just above the falls were submerged for the first time in done on the upper river between La Sane and Niagara Falls, on Riverside boathouses and motorboats.

One estimate of the property loss there is $300,000. "No loss of life was reported. All the large lake boata here weathered the storm. Some dragged their anchors, but none was beached. GALE HITS XUKK CITY.

While authorities in all the adjacent ties were being notified and were iuinir in the hunt for the criminal. the letter sent to the Atlanta i aused a complete shift of inquiries into the man's whereabouts. Chief Poole stated that he had no reason to believe that the letter from Norfolk was not genuine, or that it had been sent by ally other than the man wanted.

THE CONSTITUTION. UAWTA, GA, MOflQAY, DECEMBER H21.

Ida Tarbell Urges Humane Form of Warfare, She Says Case for Poison Gas hv M. TARBELL. Washington, December To those of and we are many to whom the great hope in the Washington conference is what it will do to kindle in tbe nations of the earth a greater common hatred of war and a greater common iaiio In tho Tvuuihilitv of doing away with it for good and all, the stage which the conference entered tne tmra wees nf life and where it still remains, has been fairly trying We want the world made over we want men made and we want it done now. The conference has a long list of difficult practical problems before it. iney can oniy oe soiveo oj um mon agreement It has settled down tn r.reful natient dealing with each ipeded by outside criticism and it is sure that it has done tbe best it can with each particular matter.

It is intent on leaving no loopholes in its wort. It is a hard period for us. Here is a great and powerful body in which we see vested an amazing power for good or evil and it is giving its entire attention to It will not budge until they are gathered, tested. dirotfed. Tint if this ia a trying neri od it is a very useful one for wno are wining 10 ian in step anu try the best they can from the out aide also to get down to facts.

One useful realization will come to the impatient from such a procedure is pretty sure to be that a large amount of tbe heated emotion we spend in attacking the Gcd of War must be a vast amusement to his majesty. He must see how often in our despair and loathing we have overlook really vulnerable points in his armament He's a beast, but he's a beast who knows his business. If we're ever to put an end to him wc mu. control our emotions and use our brai sufficiently to understand that business. Unless we do this we are very apt simply to play into his hands.

I believe we are in danger of doing that very thing in our atti spendtng time and emotion protest ing against 11 wunoi. anowms wuui it means. I have done so myself, taking it for granted there was nothing to be said for it But I think I have been wrong. The other day here in Washington I sat with a group of the really great chemists of the country men of science in whom the passion for pure Knowledge is so strong mat racy give their lives to research from which rorolf indaad dn thpy renn a mate rial reward in any proportion to the value of their discoveries. Into the conversation of this group I strolled with the easy assurance of one who knows nothing.

"I would prefer death from shot and shell any day to death by gas," 'And why?" they asked The varv thought of gas terrifies me." I replied. 'Tne torture of suffocation, the blindness, the burnt body, they must be beyond endur Then very gently the chemists told a few things I did not know. "Ynnr ehnneea of life after gass ing," they said, "are twelve times as good as after having been hit by bullet, bomb, shrapnel or shell. Twenty five per cent of the boys we lost in the great war were killed by these weapons. Only 2 per cent of our gas casualties died.

And very few of these died on the battlefield. "Moreover, your sutiermgs irom is are not as von imagine, anything like that which comes from losing a leg. an arm, from having your head laid open or from being disemboweled. The treatment that has been developed for gas casualties, both on the the hosoital. relieves suf fering more promptly add more completely than, in the case of any other kind of serious wound.

1 otten leaves you onuu. said, "you're wrong. You've seen Sargeant's picture of the poor fellows blinded at Ypres by mus t.rd si You cannot forget it. But remember that 75 per cent of the blinded men he painted were fit for duty three months. It they had of them would have been per manently blinded and most of them would have had shattered limbs.

Gas leaves no cripples. It does not blind. High explosives do both." "Tho warfare services of England, France, uermany ana United States have been carefully studying the relation of tuberculosis and gas. Their conclusion now, after ia that of our own surgeon general: Tuberculosis did not occur any more ireqiKimj among the soldiers who had been gassed than among those who had not how can you explain that awful sweeping devastation in April of "It was awful. It came before we had devised protection.

Gas was an outlaw of war, made so by 'the Hague mnsontinn nf 1907. Germany had signed that convention, but she broke faith at Vpres. That first cloud of nniann nl PHmO without 1 We dead and dying on a field which had abandoned. That hot ror still sticks in the minds of the world.

There seems to be no end to the application bf gas. Its strategic value has only been hinted at. For instance, mus i that a hole arm' be routed in an hour, and the ground held, while in a few hours the commercial air fleet, anch army reduced the death rate to 2 per KrrSt gas YMMuished would as fresh as ever. tainry shall soon see, operating above uejievwi, oe readily adapted to war purposes; while aa for chemical warfare, all that is needed is to turn your organic chemical factories, busy with the making of beneficent and useful articles, to break The Hague convention, it called together the directors of the immense dye combine, the Interesaea uemeinstiaft which had had a prac ing dyes not only to Germany, but to; England, France, the United States, and ordered them to torn their equipment to making in quantity all the deadly substances they knew and to set their chemists at devising new 1915. is fn.

bleaching processes. Millions of gallons oi water are purified daily by It. Combined with lime it makes tbe chloride of lime with which everv housewife is familiar. Chlorine is used freely in every laboratory. All that tbe German chemical plants had to do was to turn out in quantity a thing which they were accustomed to manufacturing for peace.

4v which 80 tbe allied armies when it was first used, was obtained by arresting at a certain stage one of the processes by which indigo is made. That is, you start out to make indigo, and just before you reach it jtou stop, take a short step, and there is mustard gas Indigo plants, when necessary, become war plants Most of these powerful new deadly chemicals of which we hear such terrifying stories, have been discovered while searching for dyes, for medicines, for one or another of a multitude of the useful larticlea with which chemistry blessed the world These poisons are by products of peaceful science They are bound to be found out, us laboratory research goes on. You cannot develop hew medicines as chemistry is all the time aiming to do, you cannot increase the number and value of dyes, of perfumes, of the solutions required in photography, without on your way running the risk of discovering some thing icrrioic man ever yet nas been found. There of manufaturnig any one of these deadly things in peace times in order to have the advantage of them in war. All that is necessary is a staff of trained chemists, the formulae, the skill to convert quickly the factory so as to produce in quantities, and of course, adequate defenses developed, for it must be remembered that if you have found out a deadly gas the chemists of other nations may also have found it and prepared themselves to use it In all of this there is something very important for those who look upon permanent world peace as possible.

It is one of those slow realisations coming on us out of the expe nence of the great war. Your submarine, your warship, your great guns have no peaceful use they are calculated only to kill; they require an enormous investment which is a dead loss to a country in times of peace. Moreover, their very existenel fosters the war spirit. The air fleet and chemical weapons serve the ends of peace, they aid and bless men, and, almost over night if necessary, can be converted to war purpose. And here is another and significant fact.

Nobody can make money out of poisonous gases. Your high explosives can be made profitable. All that you can do with inustard gas or any of its colleagues when peace comes, is to dump them into the sea. Powder, shot and shell can be salvaged there is money in them and where money is there is always temptation. It may not be entirely fanciful to suggest that the time will come when we shall have so developed the air fleet and chemical defense that we can 'safe ly wipe out our present vast and cumbersome war machinery.

If we ejonld do this what would we have? Defense of the most practical kind defense having no look of war about it which weighs so heavily now upon the masses (chemical warfare is cheap) a defense that would keep men busy at useful, beneficent work, and turn them to destructive efforts only when compelled to protect their country. Suppose that it should come about that the war of the future was left to the chemist and the aviator, that shins and guns did become obsolete. as is being so freelg prophesied today it not be that finally our common sense would revolt against seeing two great beneficent factors of our daily life which were building up wealth and comfort and health for us turned suddenly to destroying property and lives in order to settle understandings and quarrels with other nntions. Might it not be that such sight would finalv dn' our minds the enormous absurdity of' war? une thing is certain, tins conter ice cannot outlaw chemical war fare, aa a large part of the public is demanding Germany, the nation which developed the use of rjoison in such a variety of ways in the. cent although gas caused 27 per cent chemically.

What else could we our casualties. peer? She has been stripped ot There was more of this. I have PTV ather defense she has not I rely been more astounded. I pride Emitted to the councils either of the mvwlf nn a terrible imuressi league of nntions or the conference for the limitation of armament. Could we expect that she would not prepare ise tnis, me oniy weapon in aer law chemical warfare unless von are willing to destroy the chemist and What this conference can do, however, is to make an international agreement forbidding the use of any gases against cities, unless they, are" chemicals or other munitions of war.

ami even then, so our own chemical service suggests, the gases should not be used until non combatants had been given an opportunity to withdraw. Of course we are familiar will the breaking nf these interna tional agreements, but in a case of pcison gas tne creasing ot me contract would bring such awful punish ment on a belligerent that all the chances are in favor of its being re And think of what an improvement i nr ohomical war tear gas would be em clubs for fare, 0f course, lets loose a whole crowds and mobs! swarm of difficult problems.
