Poison Gases in Warfare

From "Gas in This War;" by Charles Baskerville, in the American Res'e" of Reviews.
 Poisonous gases are produced oy soms explosives which have been com monly used in warfare. They are the products of the explosion. The direct use of poison gases. however, was spe- officially inhibited by The Hague con- vention. They weres used deliberately for the first time on April 22, 1915. on part of the Ypes salient. A poison gas cloud lchlorine) was there launched by the Germans against the French and British. where they joined. the Turcos and Canadians receiving the brunt.
 Frustrated in the quick accomplish ment of their aims. the Germans again threw all honor aside. as they had gases. Tn this way they proposed to end the war quickly. The immediate bitter purpose was to kill and affect the morale of the coionials Written and spoken narratives of the effects of that great greenish-yellow cloud on the minds of those soldiers, as 1t rose right out of the ground. rolled forward and enve1oped them, the first whiffs choking, then producing spasms of agony. are thrillingly terrible. Many died a horrible death; many who raced away ahead of the weird waves got sufficient of the gas to affect their health seriously.
 The morale was not broken, however. and the war was not soon over. If the Germans had done the vicious thins more thoroughly the WAT might have been over long axe

Seven persons, four men and three women, are in custody as a result of last nights clashes with the police.
 Although Frank Lewis, alleged leader of the band, denied having participated in the Kansas train robbery orthe Colo rado Springs shooting, he admitted to the sheriff at Pueblo tAat his automobile was used by the train robbers, but de- nied that he took part.
