CHEMICAL WARFARE
BRITISH PROTECTIVE MEASURES DISCUSSION WITH DOCTORS. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Copyright). LONDON, July 23. Measures against chemical warfare were discussed by both the House of Lords and the British Medical Association to-dav. The association, while urging that instruction in protection should be given to medical students, postgraduates and the public, passed. a resolution that it would itself use its influence towards the abolition of such warfare. Dr. A. T. Jones said there could not be adequate protection against a deadly poison gas. It was a. travesty of human intelligence if they were unable to secure the prohibition of poison gas. The Earl of Feversham in the House of Lords said he had been informed by experts that- it was easier to provide protection against gas than against high explosive bombs. The Government was designing a respirator which would supply protection in all cases.
