GAS WARFARE.
RUSSIAN WARNING. Received February 23, 12.41) p.m. MOSCOW, Feb. 22. M. Voroshilov (Commissar of the Army) addressing the Red Army, said: “If any enemy dares to attack us, and succeeds in sending poison gas across the frontier, we will pour poison gas on their heads by the pailful.” M. Voroshilov cleared up the mystery of the disappearance in October of Admiral Orlov, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, who was Russia’s chief delegate to the Coronation of King George and Queen Elizabeth. Describing him as a traitor, M. Voroshilov snid he had been destroyed—presumably meaning that he had been shot.
