Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, a
aerted that two hish-prlred officials

To support his assertion the Senator
read letters from persons in Minneap

URBAN A CHAMPAGNE, 11!.. March 7.
When the story of the work done for
National defense Is written at the
close of the war, it will be found that
the chemical laboratory at the Univer
sity of Illinois haa contributed largely
In many different ways.
Three members of the chemical fac
ulty. 13 assistants and graduate stu
dents and 26 undergraduates have en
tered the Army already during Uli-18,
and record show that 129 persona who
are graduates In chemistry or who
bave been connected with the depart
ment are now In war service. Among
those who have gone may be men
tioned Major Edward Bartow, now in
service with the Sanitary Corps in
France: Dr. W. E. Thrun, who left
early In the Fall, and Dr. C. J. Eng
elder, who has recently gone.
A number of lines of work, some of
them of very great Importance, are in
progress at the university under the
direction of members of the chemical
staff. Among these the one which has
attracted most attention throughout
the country is the manufacture of or
ganic chemicals, which has been car
ried on under the direction of Dr.
Roger Adams since last June.
The stocks of many organic chem
ical which were Imported from Ger
many before the war have been entirely
exhausted, and during the past eight
months more than 100 different chem
icals have ben made, partly for the1
use of the United States Government.
