Ancients Used Gas Warfare.

in siege warfare is recorded in the
history of the Peloponnesian wars
from 431 to 4O4 b. C. During this
struggle between the Athenians and
Spartans and their respective allies
the cities of Platea and Delium were
besieged.
Wood saturated with pitch and sui
phur was set on fire and burned under
the walls of these cities in order to
generate choking and poisonous fumes
which would stupefy the defenders
and render the task of the attacking
forces less difficult.

Umbrellas and khaki seem a most
unlikely combination; yet one In

taking their umbrellas into action. 40
cording to the London Chronicle. Or
December 10, 1913, during the battle oi
the Nive, the Grenadier guards cap
tured redoubt outside Bayonne
While they were in possession Of this
Wellington passed by and noticed that
the officers had umbrellas up to pro
tect themselves from the heavy rain.
He sent back his aide-de-camp
Lord Arthur Hill, to tell them thai
"the duke does not approve of the USE
Of umbrellas in action. The guards
officers may. II they pleace, carry um.
brellas even in uniform when on duty
at St. James; but in the field 1t is not
