EM-TEES
THE EMPTY NESTS OF POLAND.
(By Edith M. Thomas of The Vigil

"Along the road from Wursnw to
Pinsk . . . near half a million
people had died of hunger. . . .
. Wicker baskets were scnttered alone:
the way the basket in which the
baby swings from the rafter in every
peasant home. Every mile there were
scores of them, each telintr of n
death." P. C. Wulcott in I'ublio In

The roads that out of Warsaw run
Hold grim memorials of Hie 1 1 un ;
But one more grim than all the rest
The Polish baby's empty nest.

On elm-tree branch against the skv

He driven out, in piteous herd!
The mother out the eradle-roes,
The cradle with their tender hupps!
The baskets in their arms they bore,

BORGLUM EXPLAINS
OF
WASHINGTON, May 16. Gutjom
Borglum sent to Senator Brandegee
of Connecticut today a part of the
evidence he desires placed in the gen.
ate record In answer to the charge
that he sought to form a private air
plane corporation to take government
contracts while he was Investigating
aircraft production at the Invitation
of President Wilson; It was in'the
form of a long letter reiterating and
amplifying his denial of the charge,
accompanied by affidavits from Hugo
C. Gibson, an employe of the British
war mission, and Benjamin Harris.
Call Dcnl Off
Gibson, named as associated with
Borglum, in the proposed private
corporation, swore In his affidavit
that in December Borglum had in
tended to engage with him in a com
mercial enterprise, but that after re
ceiving authority from the president
to make an investigation, Borglum
withdrew and they had no further
negotiations. Jlarrls, said to have
been selected to represent Borglum
in the proposed corporation, denied
that Borglum ever had asked him to
become interested in cn aeronautical
company, either on his own behalf
or as a representative.
Itorglum Witnesses Vanish
In his letter Borglum declared
every effort was being made to pre
vent him frem getting affidavits
that several of his witnesses had been
"summarijy ,spirited" away from
Washington; and that others were
pleading with him not to involve
them for business reasons
Discussing the telegrams put Into
the senate record with the statement
of Kenyon W. Mix of the Dodge Man
ufacturing company, accusing him of
negotiating with Slii for the organ!
zation of the airplane company, Borg-
um said the first message was sent
five or six 'days before he' bad any
intimation that the president desired
his services! The ethers,, he said
had no connection with the first and
wero written for the purpose of
learning piore from Mix about the
aircraft board. '
Mlv Crlli. i.ca llonnt
"Mix had statud,;' wroto the sculp
tor, "that ho had been bitterly disap
pointed at the .Inactivity ot the air
craft board and placed before me a
lengthy typed statement, criticizing
the board. Ills documents, were in
fact, the first sweeping written state
ment that was placed before me .when
took up the investigation in Wash
ington." i -
At this interview, Ilorglum said
Mix gave a record of his experience
with the aircraft board, and asserted
that he had in the past "pulled off
two crooked deals" for Colonel Deeds
of the signal corps. The letter con
tinned:
Accuser Acts Strangely
'.Mix, being Interested In laminat
ed wood for airplanes and in Wash-
ngton for the purpose of seeking a
contract, had an appointment the fol-
owlng day with Deeds. That after
noon he returned In a very different
mood, nervous, excited, and yet, ap
parently pleased. Ho said ho wished
return of his statement on the
round that there were some dates in
It that he wanted to correct, that he
would return it to Suplee and that
upleo would return it to me. He
did not return It. Meantime Mix told
me the government had given him
enough to occupy his entire capacity.
With this I was delishted and
tated that I endorsed laminated
wood construction for Its durability
simplicity and ' peed In construction
Senator lirandegeo said he would
make un effort tomorrow to have the
letters and affidavits inserted In the
record.

SINCE FIRST USE
(Correspondence of the Associated
Press.)
I.ON'DON', April 15. Gas warfare
has developed to a very considerable
extent since its first use as n sur
prise weapon by the Germans r.t the
second battle of Ypres. At that time
the gas cloud or "wave" was releas
ed from great cylinders of liquid ens
embodied in the trenches and dis
chared by pipes leading through the
parapet.
This form of attack has not been
h.rgely discarded, for it deK-nded for
ellcetivenets on the prevailing wind
blowing from the right ounrter. I
soon became apparent that the gas
shell was a tar more important wenp-
on than nny gas cloud or wave, for
its action is indeixnilent of the wind
and n continuous barrnue of ira
shells can be kept up so that the
whole target area is continuously
poisoned.
Defensive Measures.
Though entirely .surprised hv the
lirst (.mnan gns attack, the British
and French quickly devised defensive
measures and every soldier was sup
plied with a gas mask. The box res
pinitor which every allied soldier
now curries is an absolute protection
ngniri-t all forms of gas, provided
that it is put on at the first alarm
and is not removed until the danger
is past.
Hut it is very difficult to fight hour
alter hour without removing the res
pirntor. There can lie little speech,
and n man can neither eat, drink nor
smoke. During a g-as attack, the're
must be ns little unnecessary moving
as possible, for violent movements of
the body are likely to displace the
mask nnd let a little of the poisoned
air into the lungs. Gas masks are now
nsed largely by both, sides, for the
bombardment of back areas and lines
ot communication, .for fthe. sileneii:

their effect is often supplemented by
gas wave discharges from trench cyl

There are many kinds of gas now in
common use. There is a purely snf
foeuting gas; a tear gas, which at

accompanies it; and lastly the mus

mixture, designed to produce n double
