THREE AMERICANS KILLED
IN GAS ATTACK BY HUNS
Projectors as Well as Heavy Gas
Shells Are Used.-Some Sammies
Caught Sleeping.

With the American Army in France
Feb. 27-Three American soldiers
were killed, and nine badly "gassed''
in two formidable gas attacks made
by the Germans on the American Do
sitions in the Toul sector with projec-
tors.
The enemy also heavily bombarded
the American batteries with gas
shells, but without result.
Only the excellent preparatory train
ing in quickness by the American
troops prevented the projected attacks,
the first experienced by them, from
causing more casualties.
The attacks were made within 10
minutes of each other and were di-
rected at certain wood. Seventy
five eight-inch shells of so per cent
gas and 20 high explosive shells were
fired from German minenwerfer. The
flight of the projectiles was traced
through the air, the gas shells burst
ing in the air and the high explosives
decorating when they came in contact
with the earth. Large fragments of
shells flew from both missiles.
The gas caught some of the men be-
fore they were able to adjust their
masks and overcame others while
they were asleep in dugouts.
