State* government during the war, said ut the dinner that If the Gennuns when they made up their minds to break the agreement not to use gas, and did use it, had realized fully Its offensive power and had brought Into the service the kind of gas which they later used, they could have gone straight to the sea after their first gas offensive against the English at Ypres la April. IM A We Have the Most Deadly Gat. No secret has been made of the fact that the United States chemical war fare service has developed the most powerful gas ever known, one which is capable «»f destroying large forces o f men concentrated within a given bat of course somewhat limited area. Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, assistant chief of the air forces of the United States, said that bombing squadrons of airplanes making only one visit a | week over New York city could, by the I use o f gas Bombs, make the place ab- t solntely uninhabitable, even in Its j nooks aud corners. The |w»sslblllt!es of the use of gas. | therefore, are such that if any nation I of the world engaged in war uses it | to it* full bent, and other nations are j not prepared to protect themselves j against Its use and with It to make couliter offensives, the enemy could work M s will on any foe which could \ be brought into the field against him. | These things go to show why It is j that the secretary of war, army ofll- j rials and every member of congress j takes such a deep Inter« st in the chem- leaf warfare service.

Christian, Jr., is the next busiest. Moreover, Mr. Christian is us im portant as he is busy. Keuily, you know, there ure few more important Jobs in Washington than that of the secretary to the President. Some peo ple go so fur as to say that tlie Pres ident’s secretary is in reality u more important official than any member of the cabinet. They argue that if the ex- ecutive departments were left without head» they would run uloug Just about the sume, whereas without a see- returj a President could not get along at all. This is the kind of picturesque j exaggeration that we Americans like ! because it is mighty near the truth.
