The Silent Death by Gas.
From Leslie's.


The Germans had got across the
canal then and we had hard time for
a while. Then they stopped firing sud-
denly and while we were wondering
what 1t meant we saw a yellow cloud
come from their direction. 1t was just
like smoke and, the wind blowing to-
ward US. we got it all.
There wasn't any fighting it: 1t just
seemed to grip me by the throat and
choke me right up. It got in my eyes
and I felt like 1 did when I looked
right into the heart of a blast fur
mace one time. 1 tried to take a
breath, and it was as though a million
red-hot needles were stabbing me at
one time in the chest Luckily, 1 got
a bullet in my leg just then and fell.
SO 1 didn't get more than the one lung
full of it. 1t wasn't near the ground,
but was blowing breast high.
But those fellows that fought
against it and tried to stand up and
breathe-it was awful! They just stag
gered around tearing at themselves the
way the Trenches had done. and then
they'd topple over and flap around for
awhile-just like fishes"
Nearly all the men who have been
"gassed," or who have seen others in
hale the vapor, use the same smile in
describing the way a man acts after
his lungs are filed with the poison:
like a fish on dry land" And there is
indeed much of a resemblance, for
fish is said to drown" when taken out
Of the water, so with a gassed soldier;
the secretions in his own lungs caused
by the irritating vapor fill up the air.
cells until he literally browns himself.
noeof us can ever forget those days
around Ypres when we were forced to
watch scores-yes, hundreds-of the
flower of Britains and Canada's man
hood slowly choking to death: to see
the imploring look of the fast-glazing
eyes. or to catch the husky whisper
for help-and to have to watch it in
impotent helplessness. for at that time
we had no means of relief. Now, by
means of bags of oxygen, stimulants
and other medicinal aids which it is
unnecessary to mention at present
many lives are saved which, under
the conditions existing last spring,
would have been lost.
