GAS KILLS MAN

cident.

Arthur Johnson, thirty years of
age. whose home is in Philadelphia,
but who has for severa weeks Deen
employed in Newark, was found dead
in bed this morning at his boarding
mouse, rs Springdale avenue, and gas
was escaping from an open jet in

He was carpenter employed by

Mrs. Fred Fielsch, with whose fam
lily Johnson boarded. told Pol sceman
Morrisey, of the Fifth precinct, that
Johnson came in about 10:45 last
night and retired soon after. His
room is lighted by both electricity
and gas through a combination tx
ture, but the electricity was used
commonly. Il is the theory of the
police that Johnson used the cleo
tricity to light the room last night
but lurched when turning the light
off and struck has hand aga INST the
gas stopcock, letting on the gas with
out realizing that he had done so.
The gas did not get into the other
rooms, but Mrs. Fielsch went to the
door Of Johnson's room to rouse him
when he did not appear at the usual
time today.

.DR|T|SHLEARN TO
TRICK GERMAN AIR
], ATTACKING FORCE
Build Dummy Trenches to Make
kaiser's Men Waste Valuable
Ammunition.

LONDON. Oct. 20 Correspondence
of the Associated Press).-Modern
lighting strategy, at first rather help
less before the aerial and artillery
factors. Is beginning to adapt itself
to the new conditions and along the
great ,Aisne battle front, many fer
tile brains have been busy devising
schemes to meet these problems.
Probably the most useful work of
the aeroplane has been the location
Of positions and consequent direction
Of artillery fire, often resulting In
terrible losses to the attacked army
According to distinguished Lon
don surgeon, now serving as a volun-
teer In the Army Medical Corps, the
British troops have become adopts
at building dummy trenches to at
tract the enemy's fire. These trenches
are thrown up with great fidelity
and dummy figures and guns are
left In them patiently awaiting the
German aeroplape scouts Believing
he has discovered a new position. the
aviator signals to the nearest Ger
man battery, and a storm of shells
fall upon the unoccupied trenches.
1t is usually only after great waste
of valuable ammunition that the
trick is discovered.
Another favorite device is the in
vention of a British signaller where
by heliograph can be operated at
a distance of two miles by means of
a telegraph wire. This heliograph
begins to send out messages pur-
porting to emanate from headquar-
ters' staff and believing they have
located the brains of the British
army, the German artillery devotes
itself to the spot marked by the
flashes from the Photograph. Some
times the heliograph is destroyed, but
usually the operator ceases work
when the fire becomes so heavy that
no staff In it's senses would remain
in the vicinity A new apparatus Is
set up in some position where the
staff would be likely to remove
should it be driven from the first
selected place.
Along the front where the opposing
trenches are within few hundred
yards of each other. the allies have
devised a system of tormenting the
enemy by keeping them awake at
night. Regular skirmish details are
selected each night and in thin
sl1irmish line they advance as close
as possible and pour in a rafting fire.
The response is almost instant and
in such volume as to indicate that
tn, Germans believe a general at
tack is beginning. Several times
during the night these tactics are
repeated.
