Lomdom@rs Equipped With Respirators

a CGUST is the date of the an
IN niversary of Great Britain's dec
laratlon OF war upon Germany.
Inc kaiser has promised England a
reminder OF this date in the form of
surprise attack, and Britishers ex-
pect that London will be his goal.
In fact. the news is spreading that
a Zeppelin attack is planned, and it is
believed that gas bombs, similar to
those used in the trenches. will be
dropped on London. These bombs, con-
tanning the poisonous chlorine gas, will
take a heavy toll of British life un-
less the people adopt the precautionary
measures recommended by the British
government. One way, it is said, ex-
lists for thwarting the effect of this
death-dealing gas and the Londoners
are making haste to acquaint them
selves with it. The method is very
simple, but it has the advantage Of
fectiveness.
The use of specially constructed
respirators. such as the soldiers have
been wearing with success in the
trenches. where Germany started her
gas warfare, is calculated to safeguard
a persons life. Great quantities of
these queer-looking masks are there
1ore being offered in all of the Lon
don shops. and one may purchase them
Ior siXpence or shilling. as ones
pocketbook warrants.
Every one in London has bought
respirator. From the petted child of
Grosvenor Square to the veriest ruff
nan or Soho Square, none would think
OF even going to bed without a respira-
a n 20
The principle involved in the con-
struction of these respirators is by no
means complex, yet in appearance they
are odd contrivances. Made of a cir
t he edge on elastic, it fits over the
face. and may be securely fastened
around the back of the head. An open
ing is left for the eyes. fitted with a
piece of isinglass, and where the open
ing for the nose and mouth ought to
be is pocket fitted on the inside with
an absorbent pad, which has been

iere simple chemical action will take ,
lace. The chlorine gas will be con- l
erted into harmless salt and the wear G

The respirators have been the talk OF '
'ondon since the Germans first began S
. use gas as an implement of warfare I

renches in northern France the British t

tion. Then the sewing circles, the knit
ting clubs and the general public we're
oeseeched to leave off tearing bandaees
and knitting socks for while. and make
resplrators. Large contributions were
accordingly received from the public and
dispatched across the channel One day
l.o00 poisoned resoirators were found in
one consignment 1t was easy to per-
celve that an underground spy system
mad been active. SO the government an
nounced that it would supply its own
respirators.
Those used by the soldiers have proved
ehcacious. and it is now an accepted
fact that the respirator forms IS impor-
tant part of ''Tommy's' equipment s

simple construction. often being no more
than e pad bound across the nose and
mouth.
In London today .alI manner of pre-
cautions are followed against Zeppelin
