WARFARE HORRORS

While there are many types that will inflict ́enormous casuaİ- ties through their deadly power, the most effective polson gas has not yet been discovered, according to Mr. Wilfred S. B. Wong, director of the American Engineering Corporation of China, and factory representative of Federal Laboratories, Inc., U.S.A who spoke on "A civilian's conception of the next war" at the weekly meeting of the Shanghai Rotary Club, held on August 28.

The development most interest- ing to the layman, however, was that in the sphere of aerial warfare.
