would be for some older woman to act
as chaperon for the occasion. This
woman should be known personally,

remain with her thruout her stay. The

PRINCE Of WALES IS
DEMOCRATIC IN WAYS

LONDON, May 31.-According to
a Young Mems Christian Association
bulletin, an American officer attached
to the War Departments headquart-
ers here, was hurrying down White,
ball in heavy shower the other day
when a young man in civilian clothes
asked him, "Won't you share my UNI
brella with me?"
They walked together for several
blocks, the young civilian showing a
wide knowledge of military affairs
by his brief questions and answers
Moreover everyone they passed al
ways seemed to know the young man
and bowed to him.
1t suddenly occurred to the Amer
lean that he had told the stranger
good deal about himself, including
his name. So he turned to the
stranger and inquired, "May I ask
who you are?" The young man an
swered casually:
ooh, am only the Prince OF
Wales"

Gas WARP ARE
IS PORTbNT
FACTOR IN WAR

LONDON, May 31.-Gas warfare
has developed to a very considerable
extent isnce its first use as a surprise
weapon by the Germans at the second
battle of Ypres. At that time the gas
cloud or wave" was relased from
great cylinders of liquid gas embed
ed in the trenches and DISCHARGED by
pipes leading through the parapet.
This form of attack has now been
| largely discarded, for it depended for
effectiveness on the prevailinL wind
blowing from the right quarter. 1t
! soon became apparent that the gas
shell was far more important than
any gas cloud or waves, for its action
! is Independent of the wind and a con-
| tinuOus barrage of gas shells can be
kept up so that the whole target area
is continually poisoned.
Though entirely surprised by the
first German gas attack, the British
and French quickly devised defens-
i've measures and every soldier was
supplied with a gas mask. The box
respirator which every allied soldier
now has is an absolute protection
against all forms of gas, provided that
it is put on at the first alarm and is
not removed until all of the danger
is over
But it is very difficult to fight hotGr
after hour without removing the res
pirator. There can be little speech,
and man can neither drink nor eat.
! During a gas attack, there must be as
little unnecessary moving as possible,
for violent movements of the body
are likely to displace the mask and
let a little of the poisoned air into
the lungs Gas bombs are now used
largely by both sides. for the bonn
bardment of back areas and lines of
communication, for the silencing Of hos
tile batteries, and as a barrage pre-
vious to an infantry attack, when
their eject is often supplemented by
gas-Waye discharges from trench cyl
inders. The effect of a gas attack is
much worse and lasts much longer
in closed spaces such as trenches and
dug-outs, and is more effective in the
towns and villages than in the open.
There are many kinds of gas now in
common use. Their is a purely Flffo- |
eating gas; a tear gas, which at
tacks the eyes: a sneezing gas in
tended to provoke an easier assimil-
alton Of the poison gas which accom- /
panies it; and lastly the mustard gas
which is an eye, lung and skin If
ritant.
Gas shells in most cases contain a
mixture, designed to produce a dou-.
BILE effect The shells are fired by
guns Of all calibers and gas "mnes"
and "tOrpedOes" are discharged from
trench mortars.
The majority of gas casualties re-
cover quickly, provided they have
been only slightly exposed to the
fumes before they put on their rcspir-
atOrs The effects of the irTitant
mustard gas are not usually serious,
most cases recovering in two or three
days. 1t is genearlly stated that the |
gas attacks OF the French and Brit
ish are more potent than those of the |
Germans, while the Allies respirators
are much better than the German be-
cause the Germans have not been able !
to get rubber enough to use it plen-I
tifully in these Instruments. TheI
German mask is of leather or treated
SO badly that German gas casualties
have been very heavy.
