 Anti-Gas Instructions
 A Speclal course or antl-SaS lnStruc- ton for all officers, enlisted men, civilian employees and newspaper correspondents attached to headquar ters has been started The officers consider it one of the utmost impor- tance that all officers, even up to the highest rank. be so trained as to be ] able to protect themselves in gas at tacks The course will extend over several weeks, so that all the men may be instructed.
 Figures available show that gas casualties in certain quarters at times have reached a. higher percentage among staff officers than among off, cers of the line. At the outset of the instructions each officer and man will be provided with new gas masks for use against various varieties of gas. | The masks henceforth will be con stantly kept handy. although head quarters itself is well out of the gas range and in no danger. At anytime. however, the pupils may find them selves at a place within range of the. enemy's gas.
