GAS APPROVED BY MIUTARY EXPERTS CONFERENCE ON LIMITATION OF ARMAMENT WILL NOT REC OMMEND ITS ABOLITION. DOUBTS OF PERMANENT PEACE The Proposition is Advanced That a Gas Bomb Is Equally as Humane as a 1,000-Pound Shell or Torpedo. Washington. - Poison gas as a means of warfare ha come to stay. America's military e-xperts join with those of other countries in insisting that the gas bomb is just as humane as the torpedo or the 1,000-pound shell. Any idea that the United States army experts will advise the American dele gation to the conference on limitation of armaments to propose the aboli tion of poison gases can be dismissed as out of the question. . President Harding in his invitation to the other powers poinLed out that "it may be found advisable to formu late proposals by which in the interest of humanity the use of new agencies of warfare may be suitably con trolled. A canvass of military authorities develops the fact that the American army holds chemical warfire to be a recognized and desirable means of warfare-that is just as desirable as any other means of killing the troops of the enemy. The experts say they hope the time will never come when war is necessary to settle disputes between nations. They are just as axious for permanent peace as any other Americans, but Mr. Harding himself in his speech to the Army War College spoke his doubts about permanent peace and indicated that armies and navies would always be necessary. - Small Aska Change of Venue.
