,The dreadful Cleveland dis
aster, 120 already dead,, thirty
more expected to die, contains
a fearful warning for this na
tion, and, those- upon whom
rests the responsibility for its
defense. . "
. A trifling explosion liberat
ing gases that', ia: warfare
would be considered contempt
ibly inefficient, killed scores.
And after the first deaths
following' the explosion, other
deaths occurred, and it is im
possible to say how ninny more
will die. . .
Doctors say that the poison,
having entered the blood,works
and destroys, bringing . death
with horrible certainty.
Imagine, in contrast, REAIj
war, as it will come, inevitably,
some day.
A great city will suddenly
find itself the scene of a thou
sand explosions, dropping down
from the clouds.

not in idle warning, or exagger

Lords was told:'' ' '
''Deadly gases, possessed by
every efficient, 'nation, would
cause the death of every human
being within a mile of the spot
where the gas bomb might fall."
' In New York two or three,
millons, in Chicago one or two
millions, would be killed, in
evitably, by a modern bombing
and gas attack. In smaller
cities deaths would be in pro-1
portion to density of popula

ping air fleets from Asia would
kill hundreds of thousands in
Seattle, fan Francisco and Los
Angeles. And similar' attack
from .Europe would kill 'tens
and hundreds of thousands in

French bluejackets stood guard to
day about the German dirigible
Clraf Zeppelin, housed in the han
gar from which their own ill-fated
Dlxmude went forth five years ago
to disaster. Ins! tie the hangar,
French mechanics assisted the
Graf's crew, former enemies but
now friends in distress, to repair
the damage which had incapaci
tated four of the dirigible's five
motors.
It wns no secret here "that the
German commander did everything
possible to avert a forced landing
In -France. When turning back
when off the coast of Spain, It was
Dr. . Kckener's deep-rooted Inten
tion to make Frledrlchshnfen. un

though two of Its motors were al
ready out of ntmnii.ssion. .

Racketeer Leads Awful

PHILADELPHIA. May lS.dfl1)
"Scarface A I" Capone, sentenced
to one year In Jail yesterday for
carrying a concealed deadly weap
on, was believed In some quarters
to have sought Jail as an asylum
t front the bullets of rival gangsters,
j . At the brief hearing at which he
' pleuded guilty it was Intimated he
had courted arrest and that the
I loaded revolver he turned over to
' police was carried for that express
' purpose.
The Philadelphia' Record said
today that his action followed re
ceipt of word at Atlantic . City,
where he had linked hostile Chica
go gang leaders to meet him for a
peace pact, tuut not only would
they refuse to meet with him but
that he would be "put ,on the
spot" mid killed at the first oppor
tunity. .
Capone's sloiy to police officials
who talked with him for. more
than two hours tended to discount
the Jail-seeking theory.
"That suggest Ion Is absolutely
wrong," he said. "I'm here be
cause I'm here although 1 feel
secure for the first time In a long,
long while."

VOLLEY FAILS
Local Orchardists. Refuse to
Become Excited Over At
tack On Orchard Heating
by L A. Banks Regard
Issue As Settled Long
Ago.
Those who .predicted (he pro
nouncement - of . Li A, Ranks of
Riverside, California, large owner
of . local pear properties ;agalnst
orchard-heating, w.ould cause 1 ft
furore In the Rogue River valley,
have thus far been disappointed.
A cunvas of prominent Mod ford
orchardists toduy discltised that
pone of tiiem palii any particular
attention to ll. In fruit circles
there was no excitement and no'
discussion. The general reaction
i.woa expressed by one prominent
orcnarmst wntm ne saui: i
"Oh. UankH,' sure ho is against
smudging. , Hveryone knows that.
There In nothing new In hfs -state
ment. Ve'vo hoard that talk for
20 years. We huvo something more
Important to tulk about ; than
whether or not orchard heating Is
ndvlsable. That question was de
cided u decade ago. ; .
; The following comment from
another , orchardlst was also typi
cal: "Banks opposed to smudging?
Hure.,. Vho cares. Me' can't hurt
any orchards hut his own. 1 like
Bunks, he's a shrewd fellow, but
he's all wet on thh smudging
business," ' '
In fact, out of oveV ttv dozen
orchnrdlsts interviewed at random
not one supported Banks, and not
one showed any particular Interest
In the matter. None cared to be
quoted, the must common explana
tion being something as follows:
"What's the use? If Baks
doesn't want to smudge that's his
right. I don't care to get Into any
public controversy with him. If
he wagts.to stir up a controversy
or stage a debate, let him go some
where else. The whole thing's ab
surd, arguing . for,; qr . ugutnst
smudging Is u waste - of breath.
Might as well nrguu, ,. about the
force of gravity."
. Floyd Voumr, ' government frost
expert, expressed very much the
same opinion,
"I have never entered into .a
local controversy regarding smudg
ing and never wth. I have never
advocated - smudging and never
will. Propaganda is not my Job.
I am employed Ity the government
not to encourage orchard heating,
but to give the best and most
authentic. Information nvulluble
concerning' It, nnd from such In
formation, do all I can to Intelli
gently direct It." .
"Whether'nn Individual orch
ardlst smudges or doesn't smudge
here and In California. They are
the men who know. They might
consult itosenberg Brothers, own
ers of the successful Bear Creek
orchards; Howard Hill, on whose
orchard for many years no smudg
ing was done; or F, Corning Kenly
who tn 191'4 decided that he could
eliminate the expense and annoy
ance of smudging. He did that
one year. He never has tried It
again."
"Then there Is C. C. Teague,
president of the California Frurt
g rowers Exchange, rather a suc
cessful organisation. Bock In If) 10
Mr. Teague opposed smudging,
then gave It a trial In 1913. In his
lemon orchard, the largest In the
world, he placed smudge pots only
! on the low land, on the hill sides
h bett.v.U they
would not be
