W. â€" •> NO NAVAL BASES IN PACIFIC Question of the Marshall Islands is j Agitating Australia The action of Japan in insisting on the retention of the Marshall Islands in the Pacific, instead of submitting them to the mandatory system to which Great Britain and other coun- tries are willing to lend adherence in respect of the disposition of former German cojonies, is causing Aus- tralia son'.e alarm. The Minister for Labor and Industry in the New South Wales Cabinet, now in London, points out that resolutions adopted by the Federal Parliament of Australia with respect to the future control of Ger- man colonies in the Pacific are in- spired more by the fear of future wars than from a desire for imperial expansion, to which the democratic feeling of Australia is opposed. The 11-man.imous feeling is that forraei; German possessions must in future be used as colonies and not as naval bases, with very little coloni/.a'ion, as was Germany's practice. The Marshall Islands are a small group of coral islets, with a limited native population, presenting few in- ducements to settlement even by such a frugal and industrius people as the Japanese. On the other hand, they would afford safe shelter to the lar- gest fleet in the world, and their po- sition might, under certian circum- stances, render them a menace to Australia. If Japan is not prepared to accept a mandate with respect to the tenure of these islands it is clear that there must be rigid restrictions as to their utiUzation as a naval base or coaling station for the Japanese fleet or the fleet of any other coun- try. Only by such means will Aus- tralia, and with Australia the world, feel satisfie<l that they constitute no menace in the future to peace or the freedom of the seas. ao«T IT'Sl-AI'ED PI.ACK FOX PAY KT'lT- Fj iiblu rewiird.

Every Gas Was Tested and An Anti- dote Found Six Months Ahead of German Schemes. Of the deeds of self-sacrifice on "tho home front" none is more noteworthy than tho.se of the small band of offi- cers and N.C.O.'s of the Royal Engi- neersâ€"mostly chemists â€" who risked death by slow poisoning in their ex- periments to ensure that our troops should be equipped to withstand and beat the German gas. Lieut.-Col. Edward Frank Harrisou. C.M.G., head of the department, who died recently, was warned repeatedly this year that unless he gave up the work he could not live 12 months. He refused. From 8 a.m. till 10 or 11 p.m. throughout the week, iucluding Sundays, he was at his post. All the while he was absorbing gas In his ex- periments, and his lungs v,'ere becom- ing impregnated. When influenza seized him he had not the strength to beat it off. His stai't shared the risks with him. The oilicers and N.C.O.'s who had to test the effects of every kind of gas and every type of protective mask went day after day into sealed cham- bers containing concentrations of the gas. In the early days particularly, when about 15 men were engaged in this work In Lcndon and 20 in France, they never knew what the result would be. All were poisoned in some degree, for sometimes a mask that appeared In theory to be perfect failed in this practical test, and the men had to get out of tho gas chamber as best they could. At times they remained in these sealed chambers for hours as- certaining the relative merits of the masks. Anticipated Gas Attacks. The Germans Introduced poison gas on April 22, 1915, at Ypres. For eight months they used chlorine. Then they added phosgene, making a much more deadly combination. Hut by this time anything they might do had been an- ticipated and aliov/ed for by the chemists of the Royal Eiiglucers. They had tested every gas and had found tho antidote. Tho cotton-waste pad, known as tho "black veil'" respira- tor, had been succeeded by tho hypo- helmet, and the latter In turn by the flannelette helmet, with a chemical impregnation giving protoctlon against phosgene. This helmet was introduced in Au- gu.st, 1915â€" four months before the Germans used phosgeneâ€" and from that tlnio Britain was always six months ahead of Germany In gas de- fepsive; preparations. Early In 1916 the largo box respirator was supplied tj :peolal)st troops such as machine gunners; and six months later the small box respirator was distributed to all troops. Of these respirators, 20,- 000,000 were made. Italy asked for them, and all her troops were supplied within two months. The result was that In the big attack in June, when the Austrians crossed the Piavc and fired hundreds of thousands of gas shells, the Italians had only two men killed by gas. THE TERRIBLE "ASHCAN" Captain of U-Boat Describes the Effect of Depth Charge From the captain of a U-boat, a limp, bedraggled figui-e that had been fished out of the sea with a boathook, came to me the following description of what it is like to be depth charged, says "Jackstaflf" in the London Daily Mail. "Well, how did you like it?" lie asked ironically. By "it" the ques- tioner meant the series of exploding "ashcans" which had thrown sky- ward big lumps of the sea mixed with fragments of submarine. Dazed, and evidently uncertain of his own anatomical condition, the U- boat captain felt his legs, then his arms, meanwliile staring around with 1 comically bewildered mien. Then as realization of what had happened came gradually to him he answered the question in slow, methodic speech. Being depth charged, he said, wa.'S "awful." Tiie strain of it so dam- aged the morale of a submarine's crew that if they got away they were of no further use. By tihe shock of the explosion lights were put out; frequently leaks were started in the hull, and the boat -v.as throivn riglit on her side. Creeping along in this condition, with charges burstin-; all around, al- Uiough they might not bo very near, was appaling. If lights were got go- ing they would be extinguished again by the later detonations. All a crew- could do was to run their boat out of the danger area as quiclcfy as pos- sible, wondering fearfully tho while whether tho next "burst" would crush her up like a smashed eggshell. If they escaped they were very for- tunate. It was a terrible ordeal. "Now,"p1)ca3e, will you give me some meat?" he ended. This odd anli-climax to a tale of terror astonished the auditors. But the U-boat captain meant the request quite seriously. It appeared that in the port he sailed from (which was neither Kiel, Wilhelmshaven nor Zee- bruggc) meat had for a long time been unobtainable. Now he had hopes of a good, square meal, and that his body was whole, he next thought of his stomach. Which was very ITun- like, if not very heroic. The British Government has ar- ranged for the establishment of mills for the production of potato flour on a large scale. Oâ€" ^ o o » â-  » Witli the Fingers!

My waiter seemed to be quite a typical cowboy, recruited for the emergency, and when he asked me what kind of pie I'd have for dessert I asked what kind of pie he had. 'Mince and apple,' he replied. After lonie hositamiy'.- -whfch seemed to arouse his ill-will, I asked for apple pie.
