crude affairs. indeed. but from the
first inadequate protection against
gas the modern and efacacious gas
mask has been evolved. The most
primitive of gas masks is nothing
more or less than q piece of cloth
dipped into water and held over the
mouth and nose. AS cheap gases. like
chlorine. dissolve very readily in
water, even this scant guard afforded
some relief.
Respirators, which were later
adopted, were made much more ef-
fective by dipping them in certain
chemical solutions. such as alkali car
Donate or thiosulphate. Another type
was moistened with q sodium hypo-
sulphite solution. Sodium hyposul-
phite combines with the gases and so
renders them harmless to q soldier
who wears such a mask.
The insidious phosgen is a more
difficult gas with which to cope. But
in comparatively short period
chemists found that masks dipped
freely into sodium phenate were the
best to use in phosgen attacks,
though they were so far from a sue
cess that authorities saw to it that
they were steadily improved. The

types of gas masks as there are diff

But the laboratories Of the allies
are working busily on new project
over which they are most encouraged.
Experimenting by indefatigable sci

AS the war continued ana grew IN

Those who signed the Hague dec

that no modern civilized nation could
ever conscientiously bring itself to
employ asphyxiating gases in war
fare. Therefore the use of all pois-

of the past and renounced in the
