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. |

that the secretary of war, army ofll- j

Aud probubly ids secretary, George
B. 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. [
Anyway, tiie discriminating reader
will have noted that the press of the
country gave Mr. Christian's appoint­

the secretary of several public officials.
When he was fourth assistant post­
master general he was culled to do
some shorthand work for President
Cleveland, who held on to him and
made him executive clerk. President
McKinley ruude him assistant secre­
tary and then appointed him secretary.
President Roosevelt made him his priv­
ate secretary.
Cortelyou made a most efficient sec­
retary. A man of suuve und graceful
manner and gifted with exceptional
tact, he was u born diplomat. It Is
said of him that he never refused
anybody anything.
Someone once
called him “ the great American prom­
isor.” Even If the person culling on
him was a total stranger, he wouM
listen politely, write “ special” on the
person’s card and indicate that the
mutter should receive immediate at­
tention.
Anyway, Roosevelt liked him well
enough to make him n member o f the
cabinet, where he filled three places
