the force Of 300 officers and 1000 en-
listed men who are responsible for
the production of this modern weapon
of defense showed the courage of their
convictions by volunteering for ex-
periments. They donned the masks
and exposed themselve to actual gas
attacks. From time to time American
ingenuity and inventive genius sug-
gested improvements in the origial
models. AS a result the officers of our
Allies are unanimous in the frank ad-
mission tnat the American mask is the
best on the western front.
Mask for Every Soldier.
A mistaken impression that delayed
production compelled American SOL
diers to depend on British and French
masks has been current in this coun-
try. 1t is true that the first 100000
American soldiers in France used Bri-
fish masks and that some of the
American units recently brigaded with
Haig's army were supplied with Brit
ish masks, because, as a matter of
convenience, all their supplies, even
their underwear, came from the Bri-
fish. 1t may be stated authoritatively,
however. that prior to the July coun-
teroffensive against Germany an
American gas mask had been shipped
across the Atlantic for every Ameri-
can soldier in France. There is, in
addition, an ample military reserve
Although a gas mask is a decidedly
uncomfortable article of wearing ap-
parel the first few times il is dOnned,
the soldiers soon become accustomed
to the handicap on the more familiar
form of breathing. 1t fits over the
head like a baseball catcher's mask
A nose clip closes the nOstrils and in
sures breathing via the mouth through
tube that is connected with a can
ister filled with chemicals. The ex-
hailed breath leaves the mask through
a fiutter valve near the chin. Air
cannot reach the mouth except by
( passing through the chemicals in the
canister and the most exhaustive ex-
periments show that these chemicals
1 never fail to extract the poison.
Play Baseball With Masks On.
At the end of thorough training in
this country, American soldiers can
wear the masks for almost an indef-
mite period of time and can indulge
| in practically any form of activity
while wearing them. Pershing's men,
merely as stunt" have played base
ball, football and soccer while wear
ing the regulation United States Ar
my masks. On numerous occasions
the soldiers have served batteries I'M
der hurricane fire for periods of Il
hours without taking off their masks.
Absolute immunity to German gas
is now merely a matter of thorough
training and constant preparedness.
A few cases of gassing are due to ac-
cident, but the majority may be at
tributed to sheer carelessness. Ameri-
can veterans in France know from &C
tual experience that their masks will
protect them against any form of gas
employed by the German army. For
that reason they are serenely indif-
ferent to the gas clouds that come
rolling in from the enemy lines and
proceed nonchalantly with the task Of

POISON GAS is HARMLESS
AGAINST AMERICAN MASK
r
CFrOm the Official Z. S. Bulletin)

German forces opposed to the steady
advance of the American line on the
Lorraine front have brought into play
every method of defense considered
effective in modern warfare They
are making a particularly heavy use
of poison gas. Pershings men have
been increasingly bombarded with
mustard shells and every effort has
been made to drench the American
advanced positions with deadly fumes.
II is a remarkable tribute to the
chemical warfare work in the United
states that these efforts to block the
progress of the offensive have proved
utterly futile.
American Gas Masks Superior.
The American attacking forces are
protected against gas by masks which,
actual field tests prove, give 20 times
the protection afforded by German gas
masks. There is not, as matter of
fact. a single case on record of an
American soldier falling victim to a
gas attack when protected by the
mask that is now being manufactured
in the United States on a vast guam
tity basis. This fact has been so
thoroughly established by repeated
experiences that military authorities
place the blame for gas poisoning on
the carelessness Of the victim. A
great many officers in the United
States Army insist that in most cases
the men who get gassed should be
court-martialed, not decorated.
Fortunately, every American soldier
who goes to France is a gas-mask
expert. He has been trained TO ad-
Just his land life preserver" with
almost incredible speed. The mask
is put on with just five motions of
the arms and hands The man who
fails to accomplish the feat within
a time limit of seconds is left be-
hind when his unit goes to the front.
Recently in a practice drill one COM
pany of American fighting men set
a record of / seconds from the time
the order to don masks was given to
the final adjustment by the slOwest
man.
Stands Up Under Test.
It is an interesting fact that Amer
lean gas masks stand up under tests
that German masks cannot meet
German masks will not give protec-
ton against a high concentration OF
gas This was demonstrated recently
when the British assembled a suf-
iciently large battery of projectors
to put 20 tons of phOsgene gas into
the air at once, with consequences
we'll known to the German general
staff. There is no concentration OF
gas that American masks will net
defy This has been proved not only
on the battle field, but in the expert
mental stations in this country, where
determined Attempts to break down the
resistance of United States Army
masks by heavy gas concentrations
were absolutely unsuccessful.
The American gas mask was devel'
oped by actual manufacture. The
proper authorities obtained complete
information about the French anC
British masks and full data as to the
efficiency they demonstrated under
Gsrman gas attacks. Armed will
this knowledge an order for the max
ing of several thousand masks wa.
placed in this country. Members o.
