LONDON, May 11.--Gas warfare
has developed to a very considerable
extent since its first use as sur.
prise weapon by the Germans at
the second battle OF Ypres. At that
time the gas cloud or wave" was
released from great cylinders Of
liquid gas embedded 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 prevailing
wind blowing from the right quarter.
1t soon became apparent that the
gas shell was a far more important
weapon than any gas cloud or wave,
for its action is independent Of the
wind and continuous barrage of gas
shells can be kept up SO that the
whole target area is continuously
poisoned
Though entirely surprised by the
first German gas attack, the British
and French quickly devised defen,
sive measures and every soldier was
supplied with a gas mask The box
respirator which every allied soldier
now carries is an absolute protection
against all forms of gas, provided
that it is put on at the first alarm
and is not removed until the danger
is past
But it is very difficult to fight
hour after hour without removing
the respirator There can be little
speech. and man can neither eat.
drink nor smoke During a gas at
tack, there must be as little un-
moving as possible. for
violent movements of the body are
likely to displaee the mask and let
a little of the poisoned air into the
lungs Gas bombs are now used
largely by both sides. for the BON.
