NEW GAS IS BEING

American Chemist Tells of Seeing
Men Dying With Insane Laugh
on Their Lips.

NEW YORK, June S.-A new gas,
terrible in its effects. has been in
vented by the Germans, according to
Enos Curtin. a chemist. who returned
Monday on the American liner, St.
Louis after service with an ambu-
lance corps in Lorraine. This gas, he
says is fatal in nearly every case. its
victims dying Tapping their arms like
the wings of a decapitated fowl and
with hysterical laughter on their lips.
There are three kinds OF gas over
there" said Curtin. "a chlorine gas, a
bromine gas. and another gas. which
we have not succeeded in Identifying
vet but which the men call laughing
gas. We have remedies for the first
two, but the only antidOte for the
third seems TO be pure oxygen. which
is difficult 10 get and which even
then is not effective in all cases.
When the laughing gas is inhaled
the victim falls 10 the ground and his
body becomes rigid except from his
elbows 10 his finger tips. You can
