London, April 29-The fighting at
the tip Of the Gallipoli peninsula,
across which the British have strung
their forces. and the efforts to dislodge
the Germans from Steenstraate. the
only point on the west bank Of the
User which the invaders have been able
to hold. are today the war activities
which hold the greatest possibilities for
far reaching results.
Altho the Turks and the Germans
maintain that the British on the west
and the French on the east side of the
Dardanelles are being crushed. news
paper readers in London are told that
all official dispatches from Constanti-
nople and Berlin are framed with the
purpose Of exerting favorable influence
on Italy and other wavering neutrals.
Neither Side Gains.
French and Belgian artillery are to-
day battering away at the German
bridge head at Steenstraate. but there
Is no claim of substantial gain by
either side. At the same time the Brit
ish show no disposition to abandon
their attempt to force the Germans to
yield ground gained by them. There Is
no confirmation of the rumor that they
have recaptured st. Julien.
In the expectation that the Germans
will continue to use poisonous gases.
the women Of England are working
valiently to supply simple respirators
for the men in the field. and thousands
soon will be sent to the front.

Four Gas Methods
Used BY Germans
to Combat Enemies

Havre, France. April 29.-The
official Belgian committee appoint
ed to investigate reported viola
tions of the law of nations has ad-
dressed to Minister Of Justice
Wharf report of the use by the
Germans of asphyxiating gases.
It Is stated that gaseous clouds ex-
tending 300 feet into the air were
carried away from the German
lines by the winds. The clouds
were green In color at the base,
gradually shading to yellow at the
top. Several kinds Of gas appear
to have been used. including
Chlorine. the nitrous vapors Of sui
phurous anhrydye. and others the
nature of which have not been de-
termined.
Four methods were employed,
the report states in generating the
gases. The first was to light fires
in the first trenches and permit the
wind to carry the gas toward the
enemy's lines. The three other
ways were to enclose the gases In
missiles. which were thrown by
HdAus OE CyAAHueTS VI compressed
gas or shells containing compounds
which transformed into gas when
exploded.
The effects of the fumes were
felt for distance of half mile.
They produced a kind Of stupor
which lasted three or four hours.
A German prisoner belonging to
the Tenth army corps, taken on
April Is, stated that the gas
cylinders were placed along the
entire front held by the Second
corps. There was one every six
feet and men especially instructed
in their use were to see that they
produced the desired effect. The
men were prepared with smoke
helmets, while respirators were
distributed to all the soldiers.
