"Maleficent Science" of the
Germans Scored by Sur
geon Major
By ELLEN ADAIR
, Written Bpehjlly for nenln ledger
LONDON. April '8 t hae Just been
conversing with my cheerful friend, the stir
gcon major, whoso wounds nre not suffi
ciently belter yet to enable him to return
to the front. Ho was talking remlnlscently
of the second battle of Ypres. But when
he spoke of nsphyxlntlng gas, the cheerlnesa
left his face, and a, big frown came Instead.
"It's frightful," he said J "It's beyond nil
clercrlptlon. I'e seen horrors out In Cen
tral Africa, nnd wandered among cannibals
whose doings are not nlwnys recordable
but for sheer awfulncss commend me to
asphyxiating gas every tlme.l Tho ery
memory of thoso gassed Canadians sickens
me. They fell by the hundred, paralysed
nnd suffocating, shrieking nnd choking, with
bursting eyes and blue, swollen fnces Al
though I myself was about a thousand yards
distant from tho funics, I grew sick nnd
giddy nnd Incapncltnted. HoW terrible,
then, for thoso who were right In tho thick
of It I
A HOItntUt.B DUATH.
"In hospitals 1'vo seen hardened nurses
faint at tho sight of theso cases. I've seen
strong men break down In nn ngony of
Jtcars as thoy'e watched beside tho bed of
nomo poor cnap iney carcci ior, wno wns
dying -slowly of the fumes Nero himself
couldn't hao Invented nny thing more ex
cruciating than the pain of It I"
Tho surgeon major's kindly face was red
with Indignation. And my thoughts wan
dered back to'a sccno I had witnessed not
so very long ago, when I went to lslt-nn
old friend of mine who had been "gassed" ;
how bndly I did not at first know. Ho was
very brave, poor boy, as ho sat thero,
propped bolt upright In bed, his face a
queer gray color. Then suddenly tho pallor
changed to a darker tint, and he began to
away, to scream, to gurgle, tho white froth
pouring from his lungs. I hopo that I shall
never bo called upon to wltness'such agony
again.
"Xcs," continued tho surgeon major, "I've
attended i scores of these cases, but, God
help mo, I'd sooner bo shot than witness
their sufferings. ,Thoro they sit, muscles
stiff ns Iron, mouths ngapo and eyes glaz
ing, fnces and nrms a blush-black and
shrieking to bo nllowcd to die;"
It certainly was a long time before re
prisals were taken up by the Allies.
"Malcllcent science Is loathsomo to us."
said Professor Appcl. president of" the
French Institute. "We wished neither to
burn, suffocate nor poison our foes. But
now we shall reply with an oye for an eye
and a tooth for a tooth. What else can
wo do?"
Tho British sappers used gas of British
make at the Battle of Loos, but of a cry
'humnno' type, which merely puts tho ad
versary out of commission for tho time be
ing, causes a little pain and leaves but few
after effects. Unlike tho awful chlorine
fumes which wero employed ngainst the
Canndlans at Ypres. this gas produces no
"dry-land drowning,"
SECOND YPRES FRAY.
I havo met nnd talked with many men
who wero 'nil through tho seoond battle of
Ypres. and tho one thing thai stands clear
In their memory Is tho slow approach of tho
green clolidn of "frightfulness." It was In
tho dusk of an April evening that the seven
foot banks of npor rolled over from tho
German trenches towards tho Allies, kill
ing nnd crushing and laying waste every
thing with tlfclr poisonous fumes.
That asphyxiating gas Is highly danger
ous even to tho gasscrs themselves was
procd at Sokal. when the reservoirs were
prematurely bombed by German airmen,
thus dealing destruction throughout their
own lines. A terriblo scene took placo, A
Russian offlcer writes: "The cries of the
enemy wero fearful to hear. Nightmare flg
uies In their gas masks tore along tho
ground, gurgling, gesticulating, tearing like
maniacs at tho gear they wore. One could
not but pity them, although It was their
own weapon that had turned ngainst them."
GRISLY TURRORS.
"It'H hard to make people understand
the grlsliness of thfs war," continued the
surgeon major; "If some of the people here
nt home could only have seen our operating
theatro out In Flanders a ditch In the
pouring rain I Tho patients, poor souls, lay
on the soaking grass, waiting their turn
of the knife, and many of them were hov
ering on the very edgo of that shadowy
country from which there Is no return. I
had to perform 60 operations In one day, all
ELLEN ADAIR
In the open air, with Inquisitive hens peer
ing otr my shoulder half the time, and
etery now and then a shell would burst
nonr us nnd tho mud would fly In every di
rection, sometimes completely burying fiio
patient ,nnd myself.
"For three weeks our Red Cross station
was In n sort of ruined henhouse, with a
tiny cellar below The other doctor chap
performed his operations In tho cellar,
whllo I did mine outside. I don't know
which wns worso off, for the rain wns pour
ing down nil the time, sonklng mo and my
patients to the Bkln but the surgeon In tho
cellar hnd occasional landslides; to endure,
when pnrts of tho shell-torn henhouse
would collapse on his head or on tho pa
tient s, not to mention nttneks from swarms
0 lens nnd Other llnntnnnnnt nut.nn Thn
rvVn poured In there, too, and ho was up to'
iiib mimes in water."
The Burgeon major leaned back on his
couch and smiled romlnlscently. "I never
shall forget tho tlmo we had 'way back at
Mons,' " ho continued, "when at our part
of the lino there was only one man to
every 15 yards, and wo were reinforced by
the gallant charge of tho cooks with tholr
rolllng-plns nnd frying-pans! It was a
ludicrous sight, but It did tho trick all
right, for when tho Germans Baw thoso
kitchen heroes, they mistook them for ordi
nary reinforcements, nnd the lino wn,s saved.
"Out In Gnlllpoll, too, wo had sortie cur
ious reinforcements. I remember tho En
gineers tho snppers dashing to our as
sistance In a bayonet charge, armed only
with their shovels, spades and pick-axes.
There was an Immense regiment of, Turks
ngainst us, headed by German officers, but
when tho Turks saw our sappers whirling
their shoels nnd their spades nround' their
heads like dnnclng Dervishes, nnd shouting
comic songs at the top of their voices, they
broko and fled In terror.
"I like a good, clenn fight," said tho
surgeon major In concluding, "with good,
clean weapons, even though they may only
be rolllng-plns and pick-axes nnd tronch-Ing-spades
I But when It comes to poison
fumes that tear tho lungs and keep tho vic
tim at tho summit of agony for weeks
and months, then my blood bolls nnd eery
thing goes red and tho doctor says: 'Keep
cool, old boy, those wounds of yours will
never heal at boiling point!"'

T is easy to exaggerate values:
Herbert SPENCER, greatest of English phil
osophers, had no university training.
Neither had FARADAY, perhaps the foremost name
in 19th century science
(nor James Watt, nor Fulton, nor Stevenson, nor Edison.
nor a long line of tho most famous inventors).
Neither did Quaker John Dalton, founder of modern chem
istry; nor the explorer Schliemann, who became the finest
Greek scholar ot his time.
Neither did LINCOLN. Yet his Gettysburg Address
is now one of the classics of the English language.
Neither did Charles DICKENS, nor scores of other
famous writers.
Nor Horace GREELEY, nor Joseph PULITZER, nor
the elder BENNETT, nor many another distinguished
editor; nor scarce one of our great business geniuses,
like ROCKEFELLER, or CARNEGIE, or James J. HILL.
YET most of these men (and most great men)
had minds which were veritable mines of in
formation. Herbert SPENCER was a kind of walking encyclo
paedia in himself ; and so are men like EDISON and
James J. HILL. They typify in the highest degree
the tremendous POWER of KNOWLEDGE. Now
1. They must have gained this knowledge somehow,
somewhere.
2. The most compact, complete and authoritative treasure
house of human knowledge in the whole wide world
is the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
3. In point of fact, most distinguished men college grad
uates or not are constant users of this incomparable
work of reference (and so have been most of the
foremost men of the English-speaking race, from
Herbert SPENCER back to the days of FARADAY and
Sir Walter SCOTT).
(And a very large number of them from Sir Walter Scott to tho
present day have been actual contributors to tho Britannica, and helped
to make it the famous work it is.)
'I'
Which Is Worth the More?
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER Wherever Obtained
Whether obtained from four years of university training at a cost
of $4076 -which was the average cost for this year's senior class at
Yale or from four years study of the Encyclopaedia Britannica at a
cost of SC4 to S100
KNOWLEDGE is the big factor in obtaining SUCCESS.
Courses in chemistry and physics and astronomy; in history and
English literature; in French and other literatures; in psychology,
mathematics and a dozen other tilings are given at a university.
And every one of these courses may be obtained from the
Encyclopaedia Britannica, "and using no other text-book.
Two hours a day spent with the Encyclopaedia Britannica for
four 'years would give a wider range of knowledge than most
college graduates possess.
And if you are a college graduate already, there, is no finer
means of broadening and extending your education than
through this vast treasure-house of learning.
Do you know how easily the Encyclopaedia Britannica is now to
be had that you can now obtain it, in a new, popular issue, com-
Blete and unabridged, at X the price of the expensive Cambridge
fniversity issue ?
