Howevcr, it was not until l9l4 ttrat the cngineering problems and catal56t

and became its director

E
in 1916. The primary mission of tfie service was to develop gas warfare, and in
-r-1915 he supervised the frrst use of Clz at tie battle of Ypres. Not only was this a tragedy of modern
warfare but also to Haber personally. His wife pteaded with him to stop his work in this area, and when
he refused, she committed suicidc.
IE
In 1918 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for the ammonia qmthesis, but ttte choice was criticized because
of his role in chemica-l warfare.
After world war 1, Haber did some of his best work, continuing on in thermodynarnics (Bom-Haber

in 1933, worked for a time in Englald, and died in Swi rland in 1934.
