II Is capable of caring for 5000
patients. and has now been transform
ed into a magnificent military hos.
pital. Out of seventy-five victims Of
German gas who were sent to this
institution, three died and fifteen have
recovered sufficiently to be sent to
more distant sanitoriums for con-
valescents.
The correspondents examined q
score OF the remainder. Some of them
had arrived a few hours after being
poisoned Professor Ratheray, one
of the most eminent physicians OF
Paris. described the cases. 1t was he
who had performed the autopsy over
those who had died. The first ones TO
arrive at the hospital had turned a
violet tinge. They died the next day
and an autopsy showed that they
formerly had tuberculosis.
Another victim died two DAYS after
his arrival ait the hospital He. too.
had once had tuberculosis, and the
immediate cause of death was tuber-
cular pneumonia. Yet another SUM-
ject, who had been in perfect physical
health. died from pulmonary conges-
ton caused by the gas.
Professor Ratheray said that exact
figures are not yet available. He esti-
mates. however, that among the
French troops alone between 5000 and
$500 men were affected, and of this
number 1t is no exaggeration to say
that 10 per cent died on the field of
battle, and that s per cent died in
hospitals.
Effect of Gas Terrible.
Experiments were made with varf-
Gus gases on the men who recovered
and all of them agreed in saying that
chlorine had the same taste as the
gas used by the Germans.
Several of the victims were inter-
viewed. All of them said that the eff
feet of the gas had been terrible and
instantaneous. Many men, they said.
were overcome while STOPPING to pick
up their haversacks before fleeing
from the poisonous cloud. Most. of
them were unable to rise again. but
some were able to stagger a few yards
before succumbing entirely. A few of
these were dragged from the poisoned
zone by their stronger comrades.
Those who escaped arrived at the
hospitals expectorating blood They
had collapsed utterly in most cases,
and for days after were racked by
terrible coughing. It was a curious
fact that in many cases fever de-
veloped Sour to five days later. Then
