August 11, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 21 OFFENSE and DEFENSE Chemist Shows How Peroxide Has Part in Both Sides of War An offensive weapon of war which can explode in water and an absolute protective defensive against poison gas are two opposite extremes of pro- ducts which science can now develop from the same compounds, declared Dr. C. R. Kokatnur of Arlington, N. J., one of the scientists at the Amer- ican Chemical Society institute now in its third week at Northwestern. This compound is organic peroxide, he explains. How important a war factor this chemical may become is realized when it is recalled that most of our present explosives are useless when dampened and that some of the peroxides will explode even in water: And as a defensive weapon, says Dr. Kokatnur, peroxides can be used to counteract gas attacks.
