j. S. TROOPS PUT
INTO Gas CLOUD
SOLDIERS IN FRANCE DRILLED
IN DEFENSE METHODS
WHEN IN FUMES.

American Training Camp in France.
August 7.-(By the Associated Press).
The issuance Of French gas masks
20 the American soldiers has brought
them a little nearer to the realization
Of their proximity 10 real warfare. The
men are looking forward to the gas
experiments with the greatest possible
interest as giving a touch Of adventure
TO their training
When the so-called gas house" is
completed the men viii be put through
a mixture Of a deadly vapor several
times stronger than will ever be en-
countered upon the field of battle.
Some German prisoners have claimed
that in their training they have en-
dured periods of five to ten minutes
in gas mixture fifty times as strong
as possibly could be maintained in an
open air attack. The men are put
through these intense mixtures % dem
onstrate to them that, with proper care
and use of their equipment, they can
not be hurt by any gas likely to be
encountered IN the front line trenches.
II is a most important branch Of the
modern training Of a soldier that he
should be convinced that there are many
methods Of effectively dealing with the
deadliest terrors Of latter-day warfare.
and that careless, slovenly and unheed.
ing soldiers are the ones first TO sue.
cumb. II even is demonstrated to the
soldiers that the terrifying LIQUID fire
can be avoided except in most extra
ordinary circumstances. such as being
caught in a tunnel or in a dugout with
the enemy in such a position that he
can pour flames through the entrances.
In training the Americans regarding
gas, the greatest weight is to be laid
on demonstrating to each man the
value Of his protective appliance and
seeing that he is instructed fully in
its proper use. He will be made to
realize, however. that only by skillful
and rapid adjustment Of the mask can
protection be assured. and that it must
be a daily task with him to see that
his appliance is in good condition.
Ten seconds viii be an outside limit
allowed for the adjustment OF helmets
after the gas alarm has been sounded.
The increasing use Of gas shells. even
from the longest range guns. makes the
carrying Of masks far back of the line
a necessity.
The first traces Of gas passing are a
hot mouth and irritation Of the throat.
