••■ ■—i—■ • •'«»—■ — GAS USED IN WARFARE. EXAG GERATED STATEMENTS. Press Association—Copyright). LONDON, Jan. 28. Dr. F. A. Freeth, one of the leading British scientists, speaking in London, said that exaggerated statements had boon made regarding dangers from gas to the civil population in any future war. Gas had its perils, he said, hut its scope in warfare was extraordinarily limited, and could not be compared with the uses or destructiveness of high explosives, or machine-guns. For example, during the Avar, the percentage of deaths from mustard gas, to casualties from mustard gas, was miller four.

Chemical warfare had got such a hold on the imagination of the civil population that tbe main danger was psychological.—. British Official Wireless.
