Soldiers Are Taught
To Make Gas Attacks

GALVESTON, Texas, June 19.-ln-
struction in conduct of gas attacks Is now
being gwen soldiers stationed at Menard
Park 5y Major 7. W. Penrose, recently
detailed to assume charge of the gas
training here.
Each company gets one weeks training,
the course including both defensive and
offensive measure preceded by lecture and
practical out rood practice.
h They are given a talk on the means of
protection nsed against cloud gas and
shell gas attacks. Included in this work
Is practice of putting on a helmet. The
men are first shown the proper position
in which to wear helmet 80 that ii can
be put over the head in the shortest possi-
bic time. In the practical tests In this
work, the soldiers must place the helmet
securely in position over their heads In at
least SIX seconds.
Besides learning how To protect them
selves on the instant of attack, the men are
instructed in the means of clearing
trenches and dugauts of the poisonous gas
fumes and liquid. Speed as wei as thor
oughneSs j. stressed in this work.
One of the phases of the work the men
must become acquainted with Is that of
collecting samples of the gas in vacuum
bottles. Instruction in capturing the liquid
il given. On the western front samples
are taken and given TO army chemists. BY
this means the chemists are enabled to
keep up with all changes in kinds of gas
used by the Gedmans, and can quickly
concoct new neutralizing agents to offset
the effects Of the gas when it reaches
the respiratory apparatus in the helmets.
One man in each company is rigidly
trained in the work of obtaining samples
of the gas from shell fragments.
As final test the soldiers are given
gas defense instructions and must go
through an "attack'' of fumes from both
lacrymatic or ''tear gas 'and suffocating
gas.
OF course they are given more thorough
and intensive training on arrival over
seas.
