SOVIET CONCESSION CONSORTIUM.

PARIS, December 7th.

The whole nature of war has changed since 1914. "By disarming. on 1914 lines," Major Lefebare says, we are living in a fool's paradise." And he quotes the opinion of Gen. Fries, a leading authority in tho United States Gas Warfare Depart

Major Lefebure, is an expert who "To-day there are only four really speaks with authority, in view of his distinct arms of the Service-viz., the great experience in chemical war in Infantry, the Artillery, Aviation, and the field and his work on various Chemical Warfare. One great reason Inter-Allied Missions appointed to why Chemical Warfare will continuo inspect the great German chemical is that it fills a long felt want on the arsenals of the Rhine.

AL amusing incident occurred at the Chinese Races at Hankow last Sunday. For the third race, over a course of nine furlonge, four ponies started. After completing the first furlong, the leading pony swerved from the course in an attempt to go through the gate leading to the stables and threw bis jockey. The three other ponies following each did the same in turn, leaving four jockeys sitting dis- consolate on the turf.. The race was declared off, and some little friction was experienced with the crowd before it was made clear that money was to be refunded, says the Central China Post.

The Germans regarded their gas- shell developments "as largely re- sponsible for our failure to break through in the autumn of 1917." They ascribed their successes at Caporetto and in the offensive of 1918 against our troops largely to these same shells and they came within an ace of victory.
