THREE FORMER DOUGLASITE
 RETURN AND WILL REMAIN

DOUGLAS, Aug. 17-They just cant stay out, Lou Miller Dave Pelo and A. McMillan, all Douglasites who went to Cordova to grow up with that country, returned home on the Mariposa last night, content to remain here for the balance of their lives
 Lou Miller was in charge of a sawmill at Cordova and sent for Pelo, his right bower, to take charge of the blaming department. Pelo worked for two and a half days af- ter his arrival but conditions were not so favorable as in the .same class of work here, so they both concluded to return and resume their old positions in the James mill of this place.
 Pelo says there is great de mand for lumber to the westward and that the Alaska Engineering Commission will use all the native lumber it can get He also says there are few idle men around Cor dova and that the country to the westward, so far as he saw it, is very prosperous.
 McMillan was formerly in charge of the Orpheum Theatre here and will probably resume his former DO sition. He has been in the west ward for the past four months.

De- spite proof that the Allies have so often produced to the contrary and the terrible deaths allied soldiers died when this hideous mode of warfare was first sprung upon un- suspecting foes by the high command of the German army, private sol diers and Germans say the gases are so-called smelling substances" and are not poisonous.
 The substances, they assert, ex- ert stupefying action and after long exposure have an asphyxiating effect. Under their influence vision is affected. A man subjected to 1t is forced to close his eyes in few seconds and can observe nothing. Germans naively admit. however, that it is impossible to remain in these gases without protection" The exact nature of the composition of practically all of the German gases is known to the Allies and the Americans are obtaining the full re- suits and benefits of all this labor incurs dangerous work.

The men are looking forward to the gas ex- pertinent with the greatest possi- ble interest as giving a touch of adventure to their training.

The men are put through these intense mixtures to demonstrate to them that with proper care and use of their equipment they cannot be hurt by any gas likely to be en- countered in the front line trenches.
 CareIessness Means Death
 It is a most important branch of the modern training of a soldier that he should be convinced that there are many methods of effectively deal ing with the deadliest terrors of latter-day warfare; that careless, slovenly and unheeding soldiers are the ones first to succumb.
 It is even demonstrated to the sol diers that the terrifying liquid fire can be avoided except in most ex- traordinary circumstances, such as being caught in tunnel or in a dugout, with the enemy in such a position that he can pour flames drought the entrances.
 In training the Americans regard ing gas the greatest weight is to be laid on demonstrating to each man the value of his prospective appliance and seeing that he is fully instruct ed in it's proper use. He will be made to realize, however, that only by skillful and rapid adjustment of the mask can protection be as sured, for otherwise, the gas pene- trates through every small hole, and attacks the eyes and mouth so that in a short time the man is put out of action.
 Lectures on Gas
 Lectures on gas are being arrang ed, first for the officers, then for the men, for in gas training off cers have to go through identical drills and experiments. Then sec onds will be the outside limits al. lowed for the adjustment of hel- nets after the gas alarm has been sounded. The increasing use of gas shells, even from the longest range guns, makes the carrying of gas masks far back of the line an i'm
