WASHINGTON, July 21 —Insane
aslums near Washington are rapidly
filling, the result of an unprecedented
influx of men with infallible schemes
for ending the war immediately.
Some of these visitors have gained
the private offices of the high govern
ment officials to divulge their war re
medies, only to suggest something
frenzied, such as putting soap into the
sea to impede the progress of subma
rines. Other fanatics are dangerous
—contemplating the death of some
government head as a quick way to
end the war.

VIOLO, Greece, July 23 —A search
light of a British cruiser recently dis
rupted a street meeting of the sup
porters of King Constantine who
wore loudly declaiming protests a
galnst the rule of the Entente Allies.
"Down with the dogs of Allies,"
shouted one royalist adherent. “Curse
Venizelos”, “Long live King Constan
tine”, were among the cries of the
speakers.
The meeting had reached the ze
nith of enthusiasm when suddenly
every Royalist started as if be had
been shot. Through the sultry black
ness of the July night had struck a
brilliant beam of illumination. It
came from the search light of the
English ship and it had fallen and
rested full upon them. It never wa
vered. It seemed to be looking into
the face of every man of them as if
to see who would speak next. The
words died away on their lips. The
search light simply stared them into
silence. They fidgeted and whisper
ed to each other for a few minutes and
then slipped away into the grateful
obscurity of the surrounding dark
ness. After that the searchlight was
master of the situation.

UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR AT
WORK ON POISONOUS GAS
SEATTLE, July 23 —A new asphy
xiating gas which may prove more
deadly than any now in use at the
battle front is the aim of experiments
which are now being conducted by
Dr. William M. Dehn of the chemis
try department. Dr. Dehn is widely
recognized authority on this depart
ment of chemistry.
Kakodyl compound is the name giv
en by Dr. Dehn to the mixture with
which he is experimenting. This name
he says, is descriptive enough for all
practical purposes, without giving the
enemy any real information. Dr. Dehn
has not yet brought his experiments
to a satisfactory conclusion.
Professor H. G. Byers, head of the
same department, has also been asked
to conduct a series of investigations,
to be particularly concerned with im
provements in the manufacture of
aluminum.
