in Warfare.

Urcnclies of Foe Needed to Make

BY WILL. IRWIN'.
Copyright. 1313. by the New York Tribune.)
BOULOGNE. April 2o. The gaseous
vapor: which the Germans used against
the Krench divisions near Ypres last
Thursday, contrary to the rules of
The Hague convention, introduced a
new element into warfare. The attack
of last Thursday evening- was preceded
by the rising' of a cloud of vapor,
greenish-gray and iridescent. That
vapor settled to the ground like a
swamp mist and drifted toward the
French trenches on a brisk wind.
Its effect oh the French was a vio
lent nausea and faintness, followed by
an utter collapse. It is believed that
the Germans, who charged in behind
the vapor, met no resistance at all,
the French at their front being- vir
tually paralyzed.
Long Preparation Evidenced.
Everything indicates long and
thorough preparation for this attack.
The work of sending out the vapor
was done from the advanced German
trenches. Men garbed in a dress re
sembling the harness of a diver and
armed with retorts or generators
about three feet high and connected
with ordinary hosepipes turned the
vapor loose towards the French lines.
Some witnesses maintain that the Ger
mans sprayed the earth before the
trenches with a fluid which, being ig
nited, sent up the fumes. The German
troops, who followed up this advan
tage with a direct attack, held inspira
tors in their mouths, thus preventing
them from being overcome by the
fumes.
In addition to this the Germans ap
pear to have fired, ordinary explosive
shells loaded with some chemical
which had a paralyzing effect on all
the men in the region of the explosion.
Some chemical in the composition of
these shells produced violent watering
of the eyes, so that the men overcome
by them wero practically blinded for
soma hours.
Effect Slow in Wearing Away.
The effect of the noxious trench gas
seems to be slow in wearing away.
The men came out of their violent nau
sea in a state of utter collapse. Some
of the rescued have already died from
the after effects. How many of the
men left unconscious in the trencnes
when the French broke died from the
fumes it is impossible to say, since
those trenches were at once occupied
by the Germans.
This new form of attack needs for
success a favorable wind. Twice in
the day that followed the Germans
tried trench vapor an the Canadians
who made on the right of the French
position a stand which will probably
be remembered as one of the heroic
episodes of this war. In both cases
the wind was not favorable and the
Canadians managed to stick through it.
The noxious, explosive bombs were,
however, used continually against the
Canadian forces and caused some
losses.

GERMANS COMB NORTH SEA
Press Declares Fleet Is Seeking
British In Vain.
LONDON, April 26. In a dispatch
from Copenhagen, the correspondent o
the Exchange Telegram Company says
that leading German papers, including
the Tages Zeitung and Vossische Zel
tung, declare that the German fleet
is now willing to accept battle in the
North Sea. The entire fleet, the papers
declare, has several times cruised over
the North Sea vainly seeking the Brit
ish fleet.
The Vossische Zeitung says the NorJ
weglan steamer Foedin met the Ger
man fleet last Sunday off Heligoland.
The German commander said to the
captain of the Foedin that the German
fleet had one desire only, namely to
engage the British fleet and he hoped
the British fleet might be found.

CHIROPODIST AIDS ARMY
British Society Urges Crcution of
Corps of Corn Doctors.
LONDON. April 9. (Correspondence
of the Associated Press.) Chiropodists
in uniform as a necessary and honored
part of the British army is proposed by
a London paper, inspired by the marching-
record of a Lancashire regiment
which boasts a well-known chiropodist
among its ranks. This regiment has
made- the hardest practice marches
without a man's dropping out. The
reason is the fine shape the regimental
feet are in.
Detached from the humdrum routine
of duty, the soldier-chiropodist spends
his day peeling and paring. If every
regiment had the same advantage such
things are retreats from, Mons might
be made without discomfort. Besides,
the thing which saved the British on
that occasion was the bad state of the
German feet, due to new boots.
The National Society of Chiropodists,
which has a clinic in London-for the
free treatment of soldiers and sailors,
is enthusiastic over the idea of a chi
ropedic corps, wearing khaki and bear
ing the corn and razor or some other
appropriate insignia on their caps.
RIVER OPENING FAVORED
REGl'LATIOM OF FREIGHT RATES
IS PREDICTED RESULT.
Development Would Prove More Effec
tive Than Interstate Commission,
Says Senator Ransdell.
MUSKOGEE. Okla.. April . 26. De
velopment of waterways and the
natural resultant transportation com
petition and not regulation by the
Interstate Commerce Commission or
other bodies offers the escape of the
United States from excessive railroad
freight rates, according to Senator
Ransdell, of Louisiana, chairman of
the Senate committee on rivers and
harbors and president of the National
Rivers and Harbors Association, who
addressed the Southern Commercial
Congress here tonight.
"The shippers and consumers of this
country are entitled to the use of the
waterways God has given them," he
said, "and such competition is the
proper way to regulate our roads.
"Eight million tons of freight passed
through the Sault Ste. Marie last year
at an average cost of .63 of a mill,
compared with a rail rate of .73 of a
cent. This same relative difference
exists on all well-improved waterways.
"I believe every waterway in this
country should be developed to the
greatest possible extent," he said, "pro
vided, after a thorough survey by
Army engineers, it is found it can
be done at reasonable cost. They should
be given over to privately-owned lines.
Just as our railroads are."
Gabe E. Parker, superintendent for
the five civilized Indian tribes which
have headquarters in Muskogee, wel
comed the delegates to the congress on
behalf of the Indians of Oklahoma.
PACKERS OPPOSE RISE
FREIGHT RATES ARE DECLARED
REMUNERATIVE NOW.
Witness Before Commission Suspects
. Roads of Trying to Make Meat
Producers Carry Burden.
CHICAGO, April 26. Present freight
rates on packing-house products and
fresh meats are so remunerative to
railroads, according to C. B. Heine
mann, assistant traffic manager of
Morris & Co., packers, that there is
no Justification for increasing the
tariffs.
Mr. Heinemann occupied the witness
stand before WT M. Daniels, Interstate
Commerce Commissioner, all day, voic
ing the objections of the packing-house
interests to an increase of 3 cents a
hundred pounds on fresh meats and
packing-house products, one of the ad
vances proposed by 41 Western rail
road systems on certain commodities.
He declared that the damage claims
for injury to meat products in transit
were inconsiderable.
Regarding the average earnings of
traffio in packing-house products and
fresh meats in comparison with the
carriers' freight revenue from other
commodities, the witness said:
"It looks to us as if the carriers
were trying to make the packers bear
the burdens by unremunerative rates
on other hauls and other commodities.
There is no equity in thus trying to
load up the cost of one prime necessity
of life."

WASHINGTON. April 26. The forces
of Generals Villa and Obregon prob
ably will meet in a second battle
within a few days somewhere south of
Torreon, according to a statement is
sued here tonight by the Villa agency.
Villa is declared to have completed
his concentration at Aguas Calientes
following his retreat from Irapuato
and the advance of the Zapata forces
from Mexico City is said to have drawn
an "iron ring" about Obregon's army.
"General Obregon's army is not at
Leon, as contended," the statement
says, "but somewhere south of Ira
puato and is isolated from all sources
of supplies and reinforcements. Inter
ruption of railroad service between Pa

WASHINGTON. April 26. A detailed
report on the stopping of the Hamburg-American
liner Odenwald, which
attempted on March 21 to go to sea
from San Juan, Porto Rico, without
clearance papers, was received at the
War Department tonight from Lieutenant-Colonel
Burnham, commanding the
Porto Rican regiment. Its contents
were not mado public, but it is under
stood this account does not differ sub
stantially from Colonel Burnham's re
port at the time.
According to the original report,
when the vessel sought to leave port
without clearance papers warning
shots were fired from machine guns
and then one shot from a five-inch rifle
mounted on the ramparts of Morro Cas
tle was sent across her bows,
Later the German Embassy addressed
a communication to the State Depart
ment asking for an investigation and
describing the firing as an "attack."

ROME, via Paris, April 26. The
opinion prevails in parliamentary cir
cles that if no definite decision as to
Italy's participation in the war Is
reached previous to May 12, the date
on which the Chamber of Deputies re
convenes. Parliament will be pro
rogued.
International questions could not
be discussed in Parliament while
they were still under negotia
tion, it Is argued, and it would be ab
surd and almost undignified for Par
liament to discuss trifling matters
when such highly important questions
were before the country. Furthermore,
the Chamber has given full powers to
the Cabinet and nothing has occurred
to destroy this confidence.
Referring to the international finan
cial situation created by the war, the
Giornale d'ltalta says the United States,
at the end of hostilities, will be the
only . country to have secured large
economic profit.
Kins Meets Cabinet.
This paper then gives statistics - to
show the Increase in American exports
and says further:
"This war, which is devouring Eu
rope, is a magnificent thing financially
for the United States."
King Victor Emmanuel met the mem
bers of the Cabinet in conference yes
terday. He talked with Premier Sa
landra and Foreign Minister Sonnino
on the situation at length, and after
they had gone he was closeted for an
hour with Minister of War Zupelli.
An energetic campaign is being con
ducted in the Italian press on behalf
of the allies. Every day there appear
telegrams from Petrograd warning
Italy that if she does not soon inter
vene she will lose everything. It is
said the allies have decided to give
nothing in case they are victorious to
a neutral power which, in the words
of Jules Cambon. the French diplomat,
"rushes to succor the victor."
Pact Reported Near.
The newspapers also publish long re
productions from the French press,
saying Italy's participation in the war
is imminent. Dispatches from London
say the Italian Ambassador there.
Marquis Imperlali, is about to sign
with Sir Edward Grey, the British
Foreign Minister, an agreement con
taining clauses which provide that
Italy shall side with the allies.
Although dispatches from Berlin and
Vienna on this subject are more
guarded on account of the censorship
of the press of those cities, efforts are
being made to offset this campaign.
Representatives here of the Berlin
and Vienna newspapers are most active
and seek to convey the Impression that
every necessary measure will be taken
to prevent Italy from abandoning her
neutrality. It is affirmed that In the
end Austria will be convinced of the
necessity of making suitable territorial
concessions, even if Germany is com
pelled to compensate her by ceding
territory in Bavaria or Silesia.
Deep Secrecy- Maintained.
On this theory there are being pre
pared many imaginative lists of dis
tricts to be exchanged between Austria
and Italy and between Germany and
Austria. The truth of the matter is,
however, that there is little basis for
these various reports. It can only be
said that the negotiations are still pro
ceeding and they are surrounded with
the deepest secrecy.
Persons close to Premier Salandra
are of the opinion that in spite of the
arguments in favor of proroguing
parliament he intends the Chamber of
Deputies to meet May 12, as has been
arranged. Otherwise the impression
might gain ground that the govern
ment wishes to rule without control of
the representatives of the country,
which is far from the intention of the
cabinet.
EXTRY BEFORE MAY INTIMATED
Von Buelow Quoted as Saying Situ

PARIS. April 26. A friend and
brother officer of Peppino Garibaldi
nas lniormea tne Petit Journal that
Garibaldi gained the impression from
interviews with King Victor Emman
uel, Premier Salandra. Foreign Min
ister - Sonnino and prominent politi
cians that Italy would never enter the
war on the side of the allies before
Parliament convenes in May.
A diplomat accredited to the Quir
inal. who requested that his name not
be disclosed, told the Matin's Geneva
correspondent that in a conversation
with Prince von Buelow on April 19,
the German Ambassador appeared pes
simistic over the situation for a peace
ful solution of the Austro-Italian dif
ficulties. "The situation is obscure." Prince von
Buelow is' quoted as saying, "and I
expect no good can come from it.
Italy's pretensions are such that It is
impossible for Austria to accept them.
On the other hand, Italian military
preparations are assuming such -proportions
that the hypothesis of simple
diplomatic pressure becomes inadmis
sible. Evidently, the object of the ne
gotiations was to gain time."
JOHN BUNNY SUCCUMBS
DEATH REMOVES MOVIE COMEDIAN
KNOWN TO MILLIONS.
Complication of Diseases Fatal to
Famous Actor After Illness
Lasting Three Weeks
NEW YORK. April 26. John Bunny,
whose antics as a moving-picture
comedian have made "millions laugh,
died at his home in Brooklyn today.
He had been ill for about three weeks
of a complication of diseases.
Members of the family were with
him when he died. For a week he had
apparently been on the mend. A stren
uous month of work, it is believed,
caused the breakdown which resulted
in his death.
John Bunny was 52 years old. For 29
years he had been before the footlights
before he entered the moving-picture
field four years ago.
Mr. Bunny was born in New York
City, of English parents, was educated
In the Brooklyn public schools and was
a clerk in a general store until he
went on the stage at tha age of 19.
John Bunny is dead.
Nobody will ask who he is. for his
face is familiar to every man, woman
and child in every country in the
world where motion pictures are
known. His career began as a "legiti
mate" actor more than 30 years ago.
He played in the old Cordray Theater
on Third street here for a while, but
gained little or no recognition. He
played in the companies of Maude
Adams, Annie Russell, Sol Smith Rus
sell and the companies under the di
rection of Savage, Brady and the
Frohmans without much success.
His fame came as a motion-picture
actor. From a $40-a-week man he
rose to the position of the highest
salaried man on the screen, his yearly
salary exceeding $100,000. He was one
of the funniest men in motion pic
tures. Children crowed with delight
over his fat, funny, freckled face, and
grown-ups enjoyed his antics almost
as much as the children.
He left motion-picture work a few
months ago and went into vaudeville,
but, as before, he was not a sensation.
People wanted him on the screen. On
the stage he wasn't funny. His father
was a native of England, he himself
being the first of nine generations who
was not a sailor.
Bunny read the account of his own
death in one of the papers a few
weeks ago and laughed heartily over
it. He is survived by his wife and
several children, most of whom are
grown.

the British official "eyewitness" In de

of the British mines which preceded
the recent attacks and capture by the
British of hill No. 60, to the southeast
of Ypres.
"The whole surface of the ground."
the narrative continues. "assumed
strange shapes. Here it was torn into
huge craters; there large mounds of
fallen debris were to be seen.
"As the reports of the explosions
died away and while dense columns of
smoke and dust hung in the air, our
men sprang from the trenches and
rushed across the intervening space of
some 40 to 60 yards lying between our
line and the gaping craters before
them, the front covered by the attack
being only some 250 yards in length.
Germans in Panic.
"Where the mines actually had ex
ploded nothing was left of the occu
pants of the hostile line, but in the
neighboring trenches our assaulting
Infantry witnessed an extraordinary
scene. Many German soldiers, possibly
owing to the fact that they were work
ing, were surprised while in their shirt
sleeves and without equipment.
Stunned by the violence of the explo
sions, bewildered and suddenly sub
jected to a rain of band grenades
thrown by our bombing parties, they
gave way to panic.
"Cursing and shouting, they were
falling over one another and fighting
in their hurry to gain the exits lead
ing into the communication trenches.
Some of those in the rear, maddened by
terror, were driving their bayonets into
the bodies of their comrades in front
of them.
"Of this our infantry had only a
momentary glimpse before they fell
upon the enemy with the bayonet,
burst through the maze of trenches,
poured into the craters and pressed on
down the communication trenches until
at last they were stopped by barri
cades defended by bomb throwers.
Germans Take Offensive.
"The Germans quickly recovered
from their surprise. From our line the
hill is a salient which Is exposed to
fire from three sides and. It was only
a few minutes before the German gun
ners took advantage of this fact and
opened fire. Soon the whole position
became obscured in the smoke of
bur3ting shells. Meanwhile our bat
teries had begun to support the at
tack, and a terrific artillery fire was
maintained far into the night.
"Nor was the enemy's infantry idle.
Advancing up -the communication
trenches they threw hand grenades
over the barricades and also into the
mine craters, on the crumbling sides
of which our men were clinging in an
endeavor to obtain a foothold.
"Throughout the night the fighting
continued, culminating early in the
morning of the 18th in two massed
attacks by the enemy. These were
beaten off. principally by the fire of
our machine guns, some of which had
been rushed up.
"Nevertheless, In spite of the heavy
losses, which left the hillside piled with
dead, the enemy continued his pressure
during the whole of Sunday, until
gradually we were driven from the
southern edge of the hill. At 6 P. M.
help reached our front line in the form
of reinforcements, who swept the Ger
mans from the foothold they had
gained."
