FRENCH GENERAL
POISON GAS
Just Scent of the Terrible Stun
Proves Sufficient to Knock Him
Down and Take His Voice.

Paris COrres pOndence of The AS
sOciated Press) Colonel Spencer Cos
by. United States military attdche at
Paris has been speaking in "a hoarse
whisper of late. His friends have not
ed it and have expressed their regrets
at his very bad cold. Colonel Cosby's
voice has not permitted him to reply,
and he has let it go at that-a cold,
But it was not 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 it plays in the
offensive and defensive tactics, and to
what extent if any it must be reck-
oned with as 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 eff
feet in Champagne, ArgOnne, and all
along the fighting line, its raVages
have been active in securing data for
their governments on this new agency.
Colonel Cosby shares the keen int
crest of his brother military investi-
gator and in one respect he went far
beyond them. There was ample data,
from the battIefelds and the hospitals,
where CHASTITY patients were living
witness of the effects of the new ele-
ment. But Colonel Cosby determined
on a direct personal investigation on
the element itseIf-the poison gas in
all its force-just as a medical scien-
fist has at times put some new serum
to the supreme test on himself.
But you should be warned of the
extreme risk. said the chief chemist
1T is very dangerOus-a matter OF life
and death
Yet against the warning was the
feeling that a mysterious agency of
warfare needed to be explored to its
very end. And so the word was given
10 90 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 at last secured, and the
American military attache was the
first and only one to be granted these
exceptional facilities. With these pre-
Ifminaries 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
nestle and mortar. vacuum pumps, and
alright Jars. making experiments and
tests of gases and antidotes. Nearby
hung a line of gas masks, with gap
ing eye-holes. used to counteract the
poisonous fumes.
The large bottles contained the vari-
Gus forms of liquid gas, direct from
the front. and in varying degrees of
strength Most of them showed vol
atile yellow1sh liquid which on being
exposed 10 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 tear-productlng
