LONDON. May 29.-Ever since the
Germans first began to use asphyxiat-
ing gases great pressure has been
brought TO bear on the War Office to
combat the enemy with his own
weapons. rather with a far superior
one OF the same character. This is
turpinite, an explosive invented by the
frenchman Turpin in 1913. He de-
clared at that time it would make war

French Soldiers Readily Give Lives
in Carrying Out Orders of
Their General.
PREPARE GROUND FOR ATTACK
TO Make Movement Successful Wires
in Front Of Encmy's Trenches Must
BE Cut. and to This Bloody Task
Men Go Willingly.

Especial Cable TO The Times Dispatch.
PARIS, May 29.-An account of the
Eallantry. displayed by French officers
and men in preparing the ground for an
attack in Champagne was given here
to-day by Georges Grison
The scene was somewhere between
Souain and Beauscjour 1t has been
known that the order for an assault on
the enemy's position was about TO be
given. and the general commanding had
moved his quarters so that he might
be among the men.
The attack was fixed for 8 A. NJ. and
on the previous afternoon the general
sent for Captain 2. an engineer Off
Ger. and instructed him that during the
night the barbed wire entanglements
before the parapet must be cut. At
dawn he went TO sec If the work had
been done. and noticed at the extreme
right OF the line seven or eight stakes
still standing.
Captain Z, when questioned. said
this particular point was swept from
front and flank by the enemy's mitrail-
leuses. that the work was difficult. and
that he had not considered ii likely
that a few meters OF obstacles would
hamper the assault. The general told
him that it was there that the right
hand communication trench emerged
and it was the way the reserve com
pany would come to their support in
case of need. He added that il would
be daylight in half an hour.
The captain assured the general tina
in half an hour the wires would be
removed. Captain L picked out
four of his sappers. and told them what
was required of them. The rifles were
already beginning to speak, the first
big shells came screaming through the
air. Presently the general saw Cap
tain L making his way slowly to-
wards him. All he could say in n weak
voice was: Order not carried out"
The general sharply asked him what
he meant. There was no reply. but
the captain. opening his dolman,
showed shirt all spotted with red. AT
the same moment blood burst from his
mouth, and he fell dead at his superior's
feet.
Lieutenant T., next in. comma nd,
was sent for. 1t was reported that as
soon as he heard the captain had beer
killed he set ont with three men-all
of them crawling-to try To- cut the
wire. The minutes dragged by and tie

The general. fretting at the delay,
sent for news.

struck as he reached the first stakes

The balance between Germany and

hold its present line of front for

confident reply.

offers us an occasion to reaf1rm oul
