CHAPTER XIII.
Gas Attacks and Spies.

Three days after we had silenced
Fritz, the Germans sent over gas. 1t
did not catch us unawares. because the
wind had been made to order, that Is.
IL was blowing from the German
trenches toward ours at the rate of
about five miles per hour.
Warnings had been passed down the
trench to keep sharp lookout for gas.
We had new man at the perlscope,
on this afternoon in question; was
sitting on the fire step, cleaning my
rifle, when he called out to me:
There's sort Of greenish, yellow
cloud rolling along the ground out in
front, it's coming"
But / waited for no more, grabbing
my bayonet, which was detached from
the rifle. l gave the alarm by banging
an empty shell case, which was hang
Ing near the periscope. At the same
instant, gOngs started ringing down the
trench, the signal for Tommy to don
his respirator, or smoke helmet, as we
call it.
Gas travels quickly, so you must not
lose any time; you generally have
about eighteen or twenty seconds in
which to adjust your gas helmet.
A gas helmet is made of cloth, treat
ed with chemicals There are two win
dows, or glass eyes, in it, through which
you can see. Inside there Is Il rubber
covered tube, which goes in the mouth.
You breathe through your nose; the
gas, passing through the cloth helmet,
Is neutrallzed by the action of the
chemicals. The foul air is exhaed
through the tube in the mouth, this
tube being so constructed that II pre-
vents the inhaling of the outside air or
gas. One helmet is good for tiSe hours
OF the strongest gas. Each Tommy
carries two of them slung around his
shoulder In waterproof canvas bag.
He must wear this bag at all times,
even while sleeping. To change a de-
m6tive helmet, you take out the new
- hold your breath, pull the old one
on, placing the new one over your
head. tucking in the loose ends under
the collar of your tunic.
For minute, pandemonium reigned
in our trench-Tommies adjusting
their helmets, bombers running here
and there and men turning out of the
dugouts with fixed bayonets, TO man
the fire step.
Re-enforcements were pouring out OF
the communication trenches.
Our guns crew were busy mounting
the machine gun on the parapet and
bringing up extra ammunition from
the dugout.
German gas Is heavier than air and
soon fills the trenches and dugouts.

The machine gunners chuckle and say,

But the men in our lines at the spot
