Discussing the relative effects of high explosive and gas, Professor Haber said that if in a future war Berlin were to be bombed, the former would account for an incomparably larger number of casual- tica.

From Germany's point of view, it would be a good thing if gas warfare were to be prohibited altogether, because KING EDWARD gas could only be tested in the open and Germany, being, unlike all other nations, not allowed to make these experiments, was far behind.
