Breeze Needed to Carry Gas.

'On top of the cylinders lies tangle
of flexible connecting pipes, three and
four way joints. spigots and screw jet.
and upon these, with spanner and key.
the gasmen start work. The cylinders
are all connected up in series, and
nothing remains but to throw the Jets
over the top of the parapet and open
the valves in order to release the
deadly fumes.
But something is required to carry
the gas over to the German lines-a
favoring breeze-and never did sailor
scan the sky more intently than the
gasmen watch their little, inconspicu-
Gus wind gauges, fixed to the edge of
q trench. They must have wind of
a certain direction, and they prefer it
OF certain strength. On this occa-
sion the direction is satisfactory
enough, but the breeze shows signs of
weakness, and occasionally falls to a
mere, almost imperceptible zephyr.
When not watching the wind the
gasmen are watching their pipes, re-
peatedly feeling and testing every inch
of tube and joint. for none know better
than they the danger of leakage and
of the escape of gas into their own
trenches. Persistently an officer passes
down the line, casting rapid though
of cylinders and their connecting pipes
And in every bay he pauses and whis-
pers two words to the corporal in
charge: Eleven o'clock But the
wind, without which the gas will not
reach the enemy's trench and do it's
deadly work among it's occupants. be-
gins to peter out.
AT 1880 the gasmen don their
special respirators. which in the dim
light give the wearers a strange. almost
inhuman appearance. Masked and Cog
gled, with weird, trunkike pieces of
hose running from the mouthpiece to
the box of air-purifying chemicals
strapped to their chests, they look like
some of the unearthly beings who peo-
pie the books of H. q. Wells.

10 the other demands OF the United
Mine Workers OF America. Instead OF
making any concessions whatever. the
| operators offered TO renew the wage

when they expired on March 81.
The mine workers, in presenting inc
eleven demands formulated at the In
dianapolis convention OF the union, a
serted that the bituminous mining in
! dustry was In an exceptionally pros
porous condition. and that the coal
diggcrs were justified In asking for :.
wage increase and for the bcttatment

Martin Candidate

wASIIINGTON. ID. c., February s.
Senator Thomas $. Martin. Of Virginia.
will be a candidate to succeed himself
when his term expires in 1919. IL no
lives.
The Times Dispatch correspondent is
authorized to make this statement upon
the highest authority, and az an am
swer to the repeated statements pub
lislicd in Virginia newspapers to the
effect that the veteran NirEinian was
inclined TO retire TO private life at the
end Of his present term.
There is no basis whatever for these
reports. The Senator entertains no idea
whatever of abandoning his oppor-
tunity for further service In the Sem
ate, and expects to be n candidate to
succeed himself when the time comes.
Intimate friends Of Senator Martin
to-day pointed to the fact that he is
stu as vigorous In body and mind as
when he first came to Washington. that
ne is now engaged In moro important
work than at any time during his sena-
torial career. and that his influence in
legislative councils Is probably more
potential than II ever was. They say
that II Is absurd to talk about Senator
Martins voluntary withdrawal from
official life IN view of such c!rcum-
stances as these.
