DEADLIEST POISON EVER KNOWN GUARDED NIGHT AND DAY Sample of What Germany Escaped b; Signing ;iie Armistice is Corked uy in Tiny Phial at Interior Department. Washington, May 24?Gnardec night and day, and far out of humai reach, on a pedestal at the Interioi Department exposition here, is a tin] phial. It contains a specimen of th< deadliest poison ever known It is "Lewisite", the product of an Ameri can scientist. It is what Germany es raped by signing the armistice befon all tiie resources of the United Statei were turned upon her. Ten airplanes carrying "Lewisite* would have wiped cut every vestigt Gf life?human, animal and vegetable ?in Berlin. A single day's outpui would snuff out the 4,000.000 live: on Manhattan Island. A single dror poured in the palm of th<* hand woulc penetrate to the blood, reach the heart and kill the victim in greal agony. What was coming to Germany maj be imagined by the fact that when the armistice was signed it was be ing manufactured at the rate cf ten tons a day.

"Lewisite"' is another of the big secrets of the war just leaking out. It was developed in the Bureau ol Mines by Proft W. Lee Lewis, of Northwestern University, Evansion, 111., who took a commission as a capIain in the army. It was manufactured in a specially built plant near Cleveland. called the "Mouse Trap," because every /rorkman who entered the stockade went under an agreement not to leave the eleven-acre space until the war was won. This was to protect the secret. Work on the plant was started eighteen days after the Bureau of Mines had completed its experiments. The other preparations to bring the gas into the war went forward with like speed, but the armistice prevented the Germans from ever experiencing a full realization of what they had begun when they turned their primitive gases on the Canadians in Flanders in the early days of the war. Experts are certain no one will want to steal the sample.
