Number Are Killed.

When 1t reached our first trenches
the men in these trenches were obliged
to leave, and a number of them were
killed by the effects of the gas. We
made a counter attack about fifteen
minutes after the gas came over, and
saw twenty-four men lying dead from
the effects of the gas on small
stretch of road. leading from the ad-
vanced trenches to the supports He,
himself. was much affected by the gas.
He felt though he could not breathe.
These symptoms and other facts so
far ascertained point to the use by the
Gierman troops of chlorine or bromide
for the purposes of asphyxiation.
Irritants Used in Shells.
There also are facts pointing to the
use IN German shells of other irritant
substances. Still. the last of these
agents are not of the same brutality
and barbarous character as was the gas
used in the attack on the Canadians
The effects are not those of any OF

toms described left not the slightest

due to the presence of any abnorma l

that they were suffering from acute
