W i v Mr. Black charged that the Poison Warfare . . , There has been a great deal of talk of the possibility of poison gas and "of ''biological weapons," the use of germs, being employed in this war. But it is not generally realized that tn snmp pvtpnt nt lonct these weapons'have already been employed by Japan! ijjaiusi vllllia. No less an authority than Dr. Thomas Parran. Surgeon-General of the United States, is -quoted -as saying: "The enemy has planned and in my opinion will use bacterial warfare wherever possible." It behooves the Allied Nations therefore to b,e on their guard. For who can tell whether or not a ueaperaie uermany will employ such .methods in the ttvest as wen as Japan in the east. do tar as the east is concerned, definite instances are cited. In the book "Japan's Secret Weapon," it is seated that recently bubonic plague occurred for! the fftrst time at Ningpo, Chekiang province, China. AfterVvard it was recalled that two days previous to the outbreak, which claimed 99 lives, Japanese inauts naucauereu considerable quantities of wheat grains over, the town. About the same time three Japanese planes scattered wheat and rice grains, mixed with fleas over Chuhsien district in the same province and there too the bubonic plague, previously unknown, broke out. Some months later Chanteh in Hunan province had a somewhat similar experience, and gram;, examined there showed "micro-organisms resembling plague germs." The question now is: To what extent is Japan prepared to employ such methods? Its use of opium m the effort to debauch the Chinese population is well known.

We must particularly look into the future of thi dry dock." Bniee Mlckleburgh, local labor Progressive leader, told the meVtiue that many of the views expressed were similar to his .v n.
