against poison gas it was necessary
lo begin a campaign to awaken pub-

M. Deiepine, who read the repdrt
of the academy's committee which
studied the problem, moved that th '
Academy from a committee of civil-
tans, soldiers and members of (ho
Red Cross to study means of pro-
tection against these gases, as well
as to show the people the dangers
involved.
The academy undertook the study
of poison gases because "although
tbe use of poison gas has been for-
bidden, it would seem prudent in
case any power should fall to keep

Shortly thereafter the lit-

loneliness and suffering go

people go about yearning for
