WAR KNOCKS OUT

Ancient Institution Has Fallen

Much Blood Was Shed.

PARIS, July 1.-THE duel is one Of
the ancient institutions Of France that
has fallen into neglect during the war.
The last sensational encounter on the
field OF honor"-a bloodless one
took place after the election Of the
Chamber Of Deputies in 1914, not long
before hostilities broke out. 1t was
between Joseph Calliaux, former min
lister Of finance and his unsuccessful
opponent, Louis d'Allieres. Caillau1

Since that meeting NJ. Aillieres has
been previously wounded on another
field of honor" Acting as interme-
diary officer between the firing line
and tho command In the rear, he was
hit by a fragment Of shell that
manned him, probably for life.
Too Much Blood Shed.
1t is attributed to the fact that so
many Frenchmen, like M. d'oillIeres
have shed their blood on the battle
field that the duel has been abandoned
and there Is a well-dedned sentiment
that It has come to an end for good
and all.
Some credit the sacred union" OF
parties and classes with this reform
while there are certain proofs that 1t
is due to popular depreciation Of per-
sonal conflicts between. Frenchmen

feeling that mysterious agency OF
warfare needed TO be explored TO its
very end And so the word was given
to go ahead and the official wheels
turned swiftly in bringing together all
sorts Of gas, fresh and powerful from
the nearby fighting fronts
The facilities for such a test Of the
gases were not easily obtained But
these were al last secured and the
American military attache was the
first and only one TO be granted these
exceptional facilities. With these pre-
liminaries arranged Colonel Cosby
found himself in the presence Of long
lines Of bottles, ranged on shelves,
much as in a chemists shop Surgeons
and white-garbed attendants and
chemical experts were about, with
pestle and mortar. vacuum pumps and
alright Jars, making experiments and
tests of gases and antidotes. Near by
hung a line of gas masks, with gap
ing eye-holes, used to counterfeit the
poisonous fumes.
IHTee DlSllHCl UTOupS'
The large bottles contained the var
ious forms OF liquid gas, direct from
the front, and in varying degrees of
strength. Most of them showed a
volatile yellowish liquid which on be-
ing exposed to the air gave off the
deadly gases which have wrought such
havoc. There were three distinct
groups OF these gases: first, those
bursting into flame and commonly
known as liquid flame; second, the
tcar-producing gases, which do not

POISON GAS USED
IN WAR IS DEADLY
a cold. But it was not a cold.

The use which the German army
has made of poison gas in the present
war has brought a new and terrible
element OF destruction into military
science. Just what this terrible new
agency is, what part 1t plays in the
offensive and defensive tactics, and to
what extent If any it must be reckoned
with as a permanent element in future
warfare-these are problems which
the military experts throughout the
world are trying to determine. Here
in France where the poison gas has
been used with most deadly effect in
Champagne, Orgonne, and all along
the fighting line, its ravages have been
particularly apparent, and the mill
tary attaches of many countries have
been active in securing data for their
governments on this new agency.
Personal Investigation.
Colonel Cosby shared the keen in
terest Of his brother military inves-
tigators and in one respect he went
far beyond them. There was ample
data, from the battefelds and the
hospitals, where CHASTITY patients were
a living personal investigation Of the
new element. But Colonel Cosby de-
termined on a direct personal investi-

Continues long Time.

It was some little time before Col
onel Cosby was in position to discuss
his tests. The chief chemist said the
effect would continue some hours and
probably some days. 1t would be most
observable, he said, in eating or drink
ing.
Colonel Cosby took an auto home,
his throat still on fire, but not other
wise physically affected. That night
every mouthful Of dinner had the un-
mistakable taste of the poison gas;
each draught Of water had the same
taste Of the deadly gas; and even the
pufrs Of cigar had the taste Of so
many draughts Of vitriGl. Colonel
Cosby could speak to his family only
in inarticulate whispers. They were
naturally much concerned over the
possible after effects.
When Colonel Cosby saw a doctor
next day, the throat was found to BIO in
a very bad condition, rs from an acute
attack of laryngitIs. The colonel con-
tinued on his duties, but for a week
he could speak only in whispers. 1t
was ten days before the clutch Of the
poison gas on the throat had been re-
Taxed enough to let him speak again In
