M [7.STARD GAS HISTORY. LONDON. Doc. 11. Some of tlic inner history of mustard "as, the chief product of its class used bv the British in the war, was disclosed at yesterday’s sitting of the War Inventions Commission, when Mr Justice Tomlin, the president, heard the claim for a royalty of Dr TT. Levinstein and Professor A. Green, who, it was stated, invented a new product which could he produced in quantities by a works process, whereas previously mustard gas had only been produced by a laboratory process. Sir Duncan Korly, K.C., lor the claimants, said that in May 1918 Dr Levinstein and Professor Green were told that nothing could be of greater military importance than a quick supply of mustard gas. A sample of their gas was later declared by the military authorities to he more toxic than that made by the earlier Pope process at the Ministry of Munitions factory at Avonmouth, where the attempt to mkae the gas resulted in 1.400 casualties. The Government ultimately abandoned their attempt to make their own stuff, and set to work to make what they called “the desirable "Levinstein product, and oil tons of this was produced by the Government, on which the claimants received no royalty. The commission adjourned.
