of retreat. AS the sky cleared the
observers appeared with their fight

in correcting the aim of the artillery.
Gas shells were used plentifully by
the Americans in a few instances, but
when they were used the work was
done effectively.
One of the places subjected to a

historic place was known to be well

the forty miles OF subterranean pas

flooded with gas clouds and then en-
veloped by artillery fire. Gas was
also used against certain woods around
