to bed and gave her oxygen miss robinson said then we nurses were rushed across to help tho injured we found a panic we ran right up to the door hesitated then tumbled back sickened dizzy and smarting from the gas it was like a pall bil ious yellow color it moved through the building almost like a solid thing somewhere back there i could see vaguo shapes swaying dizzily as though they were enmeshed i could see men and women rubbing their eyes and their screams canio to me through that cloud of gas screams that made me weak you cant imagine dont try mis3 robinson said men were falling in a directions they tumbled one upcn another they ran along wildly then fell and lay where they fell there was never any movement after they hit the floor heartrending doesnt adequately describe tho scene it was more than that it made you feel ill when you realized that nothing could be done those screams i shall never forget thoso screams when i saw the bodies piling up insido i almost screamed myself that gas had an immediate effect she said one whiff and you were down that is one really good whiff i watched them fall they all seemed to be surprised it was awful there was nothing that could bo done once the gas got them there was little chance none of them seemed to think that they were so closo to death until they fell two nurses worked feverishly amongst the patients not believing for a moment that they were doomed they just went on and on then they fell i saw them ono wa3 fanning a patient a policeman camo up to her how are you now ho asked fine said tho nurse and before she could utter another word sho dropped where she stood sho was dead it was sudden yes it was stagger ing there was something terribly wicked and something terribly deadly about those yellow fumes they work- silently but they were so effective they seemed to slink along a great yellow cloud of something that might havo been death itself i watched them try to run away from it but they couldnt escape from

american plea to refuse customs clearance to liquor boats between canadian and american ports but lias made a secondary ofter to permit american customs officials to bo sta tioned on the canadian side

britain and canada from october 1 1925 up to the ot tawa conference ot january s to 10 1929 on the subject e commercial smuggling across the border the negotiations are contained in twenty diplomatic notes now released the canadian offer to admit ameri can customs officers is not satisfac tory to the state department which points out that such information is now obtainable from canadian offi cials through a working arraugement now in force but that the data given in clearances is generally fictitious although thanking the canadian government for the gracioushess of its offer the american minister at ottawa was instructed to reply april 20 1929 that the united states re mains convinced that tho only effec tive means of dealing with the smug- rffmg problem along the border is the conclusion ot a treaty amending the convention of tune c 1921 to the end that clearance be denied to shipments ot commodities from either country when their importation is prohibited in tho other
