Near-Deathless
Wars Forscen
OMAHA, April 22. Not deathless
wars, hut someth'iig approximating
them, will some day he waged, Major
tieneral Amos A. Fries, chief of the
chemical wnrfarn service of the I'nl
led Htates army, 1old newspaper men
here yesterday.
Chemical warfare, the general as hi,
is not being developed along (he line
of attaining grent and sudden loas of
life. "Jtntber," he continued. "It Is
being developed whereby wurs and
buttles may he won without grent loss
of life, without working permanent
Injury to the people of cities which
may be attacked hut to Incapacitate
such Htlea and peoples that may he
taken. Hitman life Is of greater value
In warfare today than it has ever
been in hiatory."
The Vnrh war was the, most hu
mane, (leneral Fries declared. The
- were of ancient times were wara of
horror and casually. Only two deaths
occurred from every 100 persons gas'
ed. he enld. while S3 deaths resulted
from the same number of individuals
struck by bullets or high eiploslve
shells.
The post of transportation on Pen
llolliday'a famous stage from 8t. Jo

(SK. Kervice Writer)
MITt.'IIKI.L Field; h. I. April 22.
"You go (trifling down and. the
earth jumpi up to meet you and you
jtiHt look around for a place to put
your fret-to stand on."
Propping KKK) feet is as simple
an that to Corporal Arthur It. Mergo
of the Fifth Hipiadron, and Htaff
Her grant Handle L. Hone, champion
parachute Jumpers of the army. Just
an an experiment they fell that dis
tance the other day before opening
their iinrachiitea. No other men
since the world began ever fell so far
nml Hved to talk about it. I he rec
ord drop before was around (KM) feet.
With feet comfortably planted on
the ground, a newspaper reader can
not easily comprehend what It ineaita
to plunge downward a fifth of a mite.
Aviator ealiinatp it requires about
seven second. Sergeant Hose says
he counted rapidly, before he
pulled the ripcord nud was Jerked up
with a hang to fM himself tangling
from bis open parachute.
Always Misses a Count
Count it: now you Jump two, three
you're falling seven, eight faster,
faster eleven, twelve tumbling heels
over head like a lory, slow-motion pic
ture twenty-six twenty-seven fall
ing, maddeningly' thirty-one pull!
"You always miss a count or two,'
admits the sergeant.
'"Hut you are more keenly con
scious of everything than normally.
It Is ell wrong, this talk you some-
tlmea hear about people being dead
before they bit (he ground when they
full from high place.
'They took us up one nt a time In
a Curtis 'Condor bombing plane. I
was in the bomb compartment, stand
ing on a steel crossbeam. We got
up about WKH) feet anil ft was lime
to step off. Ho I swung clown on the
beam, holding by my bands, and when
1 was clear I Just turned loose.
'The air draft from the propeller
swung me around and stsrted me
spinning slowly, end over end. The
Jumping, nf course, was old stuff.
Hut I kept on going. After NX) feet
1 think 1 was going maybe 12U miles
and hour. I didn't gain speed after
that. It did not seem so fnt as it
does In a ship when she does a itose
dive. 1 hen I Juat pulled the old rip
and the parachute opened up and I
floated home. It cracks like a rifle
when she opens, and It snaps you
nearly to pieces."
The final moment before Jumping!
Into the vast emptiness of the upper;
air Is the hardest port, declares Cor
poral Hergo.
"i always hesitate Junt then and
ak myself, 'Will 1 or won't I," he
admits, "Then your stomach kind of
puckers and your breath catches. An
soon an you're cU-nr, yon are all cany.
I could reach down and pull off a
pair of ovemhoeN or do any such
simple motion while falling. It is a
lot easier and less scary to do than to
think about or to deecrihe.
'The first time was the hardest.
My first parachute Jump wasn't a
Jump but a piiKh. We don't have to
Jump now, you know. We do it for
the fun."
On the ground Corpotil Herso Is
more nervous. He doenn t like to
ride on the tail seat of a motorcycle
when It goes around corners. And
when, as a private, he caught guard
around the shadows of old wartime
warehouses, he didn't like it when
the hoards crenked.
Kach man as soon as be lauded
from bis KHMI-fnnt Jump, smoked a
cigaret and went calmly up again for
another Jump. They are stiff and
bruised in epots from the Jolt on
their harness when the pnrachutc
opened as a brake to their descent.
Hut the experience made no impres
sion upon their supper appetite that
evening.
