whole population of Armenia-res will
be evacuated. No details uro given.
it was reported yesterday that Brit-
ish medical officers were trying to
analyze the new poison that had been
used against Armentleres. The gas
polbon given off was described ns be-
ing especially destructive of life.
HAiJEBRUCK France August 9.
British medical officers are trying to
determine the nature of a now poison
UBed it Is believed for tho flnt time
by the Germans on the French town
of Armentierres near the Belgian
frontier. The poison bore a certain
resemblance to the gas which tem-
porarily blinded a large' number of
British troops a fortnight ago. but its
effects are infinitely more serious.
A number of persons taken from Ar-
mentierres are in u grave condition.
Many have died in hospitals.
The first time the new poison was
observed it coincided with the firing
into toe town of a hail of small shells
of a caliber insufficient to break tho
caving. These contained a colorless
liquid which spreads over the soil. In
tho streets end in courtyard and
gardens where; the shells burst traces-
of the noxious liquids wore found
hours afterward.
As tho liquid evaporates it produces
a neavy gas wulcli penetrate? from

Houso this morning Dr. R E. Vinson
president of tho University of Texas
was recalled to tho stand to clear up
the testimony of W. R. Brents n

Dr. Vinson tostlflcd that ho urged
tho regents to ndopt tho budget nt tho
Galveston meeting and told them that
ho thought they should consider tL3
tnntter without reference to the charg-
es against certain members of the
faculty.
Ho also told them that If In their
opinion it wnlf -necessary to dispense
with certain members of the faculty
ho could obtain these regents without
a statement of tho reasons. Ho said
that ho based his opinion upon tho
oxperlonco of Dr. Battle who resign-
ed and accoptcd a position elsewhere
merely becauHo he waB a ''storm cen-
ter." Dr. Vinson said I am making
tho proposition ho had himself in mind
is among thoso who might be re-
quested to resign because ho knew
that ho nlso was under disfavor with
tho Governor.
