French Report Repulse
of Germans and Tell
of Asphyxiating Bombs

PARIS. April e4.-The asphyxiating
bombs used by the Germans in their
attack near Ypres were thrown at nu-
merous points along front Of three
miles. according to information that
has been brought to Paris. The con-
tents of these missiles were largely
chloride, mixed with other chemicals.
The Germans threw these bombs
when the wind was blowing from the m
in the direction of the French trenches.
The fumes caused uncomfortable
breathing and smarting of the eyes
at a distance of nearly two miles be-
hind the trenches. and they were so
powerful that the Germans had to wait
themselves considerable time before
they could occupy the evacuated
trenches.
During this delay the French troops
recovered from the effects of the fumes,
delivered counter attack and re-
gained most of the ground lost. The
German supply of chloride bombs APP
parently had been used up in their first
advance. They had no more to throw,
and they gave way before the resolute
bayonet attack of the French. The
bombs themselves are thrown by means
of hand sling. such as boys use for
throwing stones.

Indication Of Advance.
IF the German report of the capture
of four heavy guns Is true the enemy
must have made an advance OF at least
two or three miles, as heavy guns
never are placed near the front, and
often are four or five miles behind the
advanced trenches
The Germans still are bringing up
large reinforcements. throwing every
available man into the gap. They nave
probably half a million men available
without depicting the eastern front,
and many men might be spared from
Poland. where the roads render mil
