WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES
IN PICARDY, May 19.-The Germans
are perfuming the various gases they
scatter over the American positions
The latest Boche scheme to make
more effective the gas shells thrown
over Is to impFegnate them with va
rious smells such as the perfume OF

American sense OF smell to lure our
men to spots where deadly gases
lurk.
Formerly the various gases had a

gas experts quickly detected the Ger
man perfume trick, and regular fruit
smells lurking in low places no long
