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,
it 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 a sharp lookout for gas.
We had a new man at the p~eriScope,
on this afternoon in question; / was
sitting on the fire step, cleaning my
rifle, when he called out to me:
There's a 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 1t.
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 a rubber
covered tube, which goes in the mouth.
You breathe through your nose; the
gas, passing through the cloth helmet,
is neutralized by the action of the
chemicals. The foul air is exhaled
through the tube in the mouth, this
tube being so constructed that 1t pre-
vents the inhaling of the outside air or
gas. One helmet is good for five hours
of the strongest gas. Each Tommy
carries two of them slung around his
shoulder in a waterproof canvas bag.
He must wear this bag at all times,
even while sleeping. To change a de-
fective helmet, you take out the new
one, hold your breath, pull the old one
off, placing the e m over your
head, tucking in the loose ends under
the collar of your tunic.

their helmets, bombers running here

dugouts with fixed bayonets, to man

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 ills the trenches and dugOuts.

LEANED TO NEWSPAPER WORK
Andrew Carnegie's Early Ambition
Was to Be Great Editor-Burns
Resisted Lure of Journalism.

Andrew Carnegie In his early days
had an ambition to enter the nowspa-
per business, but when he failed to OBJ
tain a position on the Pittsburgh Dis
patch, he turned his talents in other
directions and finally became Americas
leading iron and steel manufacturer.
Robert Burns, on the other hand,
spurned efforts TO induce him to go in
to journalism and thus made the way
clear for his becoming the most be-
loved of Scottish bards. These points
were brought out In an address given
by William VIII, president of the Lon
don Burns club.
The first attempt to get Burns in the
newspaper line was when Peter Stuart
of the London Morning Post started the
Star. Burns declined to give active
assistance in turning out the paper, al
though he occasionally contributed ar
ticies. Later James Perry, proprietor
of the London Morning Chronicle, of
fered Burns f5 a week to join the staff.
Burns refused the offer on the plea
that his duties as an excise officer
would prevent him from attending to
the work. Nothing ever resulted, Ell
ther. from the suggestions that Burns
write a three-act comic opera.

where 1t has been known to Turk for
two or three days, until the air is puri-
ned by means of large chemical spray
ers.
We had to work quickly, as Fritz
generally follows the gas with an in
fantry attack.
A company man on our right was
too slow In getting on his helmet; he
sank to the ground, clutching at his
throat, and after a few spasmodic
twistings went West (died). 1t was
horrible to see him die, but we were
powerless to help him. In the corner
OF a traverse, a little, muddy cur dog,
one Of the company's pets, was lying
dead, with his paws over his nose.
It's the animals that suffer the most
the horses, mules, cattle, dogs. cats
and rats-they having no helmets to
save them. Tommy does not sympa-
thize with rats in a gas attack.
AT times gas has been known to
travel, with dire results, fifteen miles
behind the lines.
A gas, or smoke helmet. as 1t is
called, at the best is a vile-smeling
thing, and it is not long before one gets
a violent headache from wearing 1t.
Our contemporaries were burst
ing in No Mans Land, in an effort, by
the artillery, to dispense the gas
clouds.
The fire step was lined with crouch
ing men, bayonets fixed, and. bombs
near at hand to repel the expected at
tack.
Our artillery had put a 5arrage of
curtain fire OF the German lines, to try
and break up their attack and keep
back re-ehforcements. d.

trench and its bullets were raking the
parapet.
Then over they came, bayonets glis-
tening. In their respirators, which
have a large snout In front, they look
ed like some horrible nightmare.
All along our trench, rifles and ma
chine guns spoke, our shrapnel was
bursting over their heads. They went
down in heaps, but new one took the
places of the fallen. Nothing could
stop that mad rush. The Germans
reached our barbed wire, which had
previously been demolished by their
shells, then it was bomb against bomb,
and the devil for all.
Suddenly my head seemed to burst
from a loud "crack" in my ear. Then

Proper Care Of Pet Fish.

Fish are not hard to raise. ; The
greatest danger to which they are
subjected in disease is the fungous
growth that attacks the fins and tail.
This can be detected by the dropping
off of bits of the fins and tail, and
by the tiny red streaks that mark the
part that remains. To treat, give the
fish a bath in a strong solution of salt
water, letting him remain in this un-
til he flops over on his side. Repeat in
the course of a day or two until the
growth is checked. For more severe
cases, a weak solution of permangan-
ate of potassium is used. Allow the
fish to lie in this a minute or two,
then replace in fresh water.-Kansas
