When the proposed consolidation of the chemical warfare service with the engineers corps was taken up, a committeeman asked If use of poison gas should not be eliminated. WANTS TO BE READY. "I'd be glad to see that," General Pershing returned, "but somebody else might use it and leave us In the lurch. I would continue preparation for chemical warfare," "The National Ouard performed excellent servlceJn the war, considering its limited opportunity for training," said the general.

"Its officers and men had the feeling, and quite properly so that they should have more complete support from the regular army." Men who have served In the present war should be allowed to enter volunteer reserve organizations, General Pershing said. "1 would classify and assign them to service," he said, with divisional units complete by localities. WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 Elimination of "dead timber" among army officers was. suggested by General Pershing before the Senate -and House military committees today, as one of the steps advisable in peace time reorganization of the military establishment.

In nearly every grade, the general said, there were a few officers who had passed the stage of usefulness and should be replaced. In reducing the army from to 300,000 men, the general only a very small reduction could be made fn the number of staff offices. "We had 360 on our staff in France, for an army of 2,000,000 men," he said. "We should have needed the same number for half as many." EASY TO GET PROMOTIONS. "Nearly every army officer goes around with a reorganization bill in his vest pocket said General Pershing, "and'if you examine them you'll find each has one arranging good promotions in his own service.

"In France we assigned officers to duty without regard to "what their previous service had and they performed efficient Chairman Wadsworlh said Borne recent promotions had created fifty-nine colonels for sixteen cavalry regiments.

CONCERTS SECIi By ROY IIAR.RI.So5r DANFORTH. There was a sort of fireside quality to the recital which Merle Alcock and Lambert Murphy gave last evening at the Oakland Auditorium Theater. In the first place, the song list was Largely of the reminiscent variety, and in the second it was the opening concert of the new season's artist series which meant a reunion of many friends. The artist series concerts resem-'j friendships are the immediate re- suit t.f propinquity. So in these audi-i torium aflairs one gets to know his 1 next-door neighbor with a comfort- able ease, particularly when the same persons WcupyfJien3ame seats throtrghout a season But something more certain and far less haphazard filled last evening's recital with enjoyment.

That was the easily distinguishable excellence of the two artists' equipment It wt8 an equable possession, too, so that orte waited for ejther of the singers With as much pleasant anticipation as for the other, and particularly, after the first duet, did one wait for them together. TheVe are several shades of wom anliness in Mrs. Alcock'a voice. It twines tenderly around a love song, but it has a quick, intuitive grasp of drama, a human quality for sadness and a sterling eneregy withal when energy is demanded. In texture It is clear and smooth; in tone I full and warm.
