Men at All Camps Receive instruction
in Gas Defense.


At each cantonment in the United
States q school has been established
where EVERY officer and man receives
instruction in gas defense. The Amer
lean gas mask, similar to the British,
is as mechanically perfect as the best
experts have been able to produce.
The face piece, with glass or celluloid
eyepieces, is connected by a flexible
tube with a canister carried in a
knapsack. The incoming breath comes
through the canister, which is filled
with several layers of chemicals
which neutralize or render harmless
the gas-laden air. Outgoing breath
passes outside the face piece through
a small valve.
The student in gas defense soon
learns to get his mask on in a hurry,
six seconds being the standard time
when the knapsack containing the
mask is hanging at his chest in the
"alert" position. After intensive
training a gas attack is arranged.
The gas is put in trenches. and
without warning, clouds of smoke and
chlorine are liberated by the instruc-

Production of Rifles and Ammunition
Meets All Requirements.


Rifle and cartridge production in
the United States has developed in
volume and in quality on a scale as
surfing the satisfactory equipment of
the army, according to a statement
authorized by the secretary of war.
To achieve the rifle and ammuni-
ton production program the govern

itself to expend, during 10 months of
war, $4O0, 900, 100, and 200 officers,
10000 men and 10000 women have

government plants and three private

and nine privately owned plants are
engaged in cartridge manufacture.
Ordnance experts in this country and
in Europe are in agreement that the
United States army is being equipped
with two of the best three rifles in
the world.

with Hundreds of Men Learning to
Fly Accidents are Few.
Records of the war department
show that from the beginning of
training in June, 1917, to February
%, 1918, the fatalities at military
aviation fields in this country have
been 81; 10 officers and 20 cadets
killed in training flights, and IL men
killed in unauthorized flights and
ground accidents.
Since the training began in the
United States, student aviators have
flown considerably more than 100 600
miles. Hundreds of hitherto inexper-
fenced men have been learning to fly.
Their early flights are under the
guidance of instructors, and prior ia
these flights two or more months are
spent in preliminary ground work
There comes a time, however, when
every student aviator must take his
machine up alone, and every precau-
ton has been taken to reduce the
number of accidents and safeguard
the aviator in his solo flights.

CHANGES ANNOUNCED
IN BRITISH CABINET
Miner Succeeds Earl of Derby as
Secretary for War-Latter Sent
to France

London, April 1S.-Onicial announce
ment was made today that the Earl Of
Derby has been appointed ambassador
extraordinary and minister penipotenti-
AIRY on a special mission to France. in
succession to Lord BERTHE.
Viscount Miner becomes secretary for
war and j. Austen Chamberlain mem
Der of the war cabinet.
The appointment of Viscount Miner to
the war secretaryship, it is considered,
will make for efficiency, as he is rated
by many as the strongest member of the
war cabinet. Personally, he is not among
the popular politicians because he is ex-
tremely conservative in his views.
The Earl of Derby has genial, pop
ular personality, which includes the view
that he will fit well into diplomacy. The
selection of Mr. Chamberlain does not
seem likely to be greeted with unanimous
enthusiasm.
The Daily Mail, for instance, yesterday
said such action would be trifling with
the nation. 1t described Mr. Chamber
lain as an honest mediocrity who owed
|his advancement entirely to the prestige
of his father, the late Joseph Chamber
lain.

the fuel administration tonight because
of reports that consumers in some sec

the expectation that the zone system
of distribution may be altered in such
a manner as to broaden their sources
of supply.
ANY modification of the zoning plan
that may be made" said the adminis-
trations announcement. will be in the
direction of further restriction rather
than toward charging sources of sup

Presidents Order Which
Placed Hoover in Charge
of Food Is Confidential

Washington, April 1S.-Refusal OF
Secretary Lansing to furnish him a
copy of the executive order under which
the President appointed Herbert
Hoover food administrator was laid be-
fore the House today by Representa-
tive Wason of New Hampshire, re-
publican member or the agriculture
committee. Mr.. Wason contends that
the committee in framing the food con-
troll bill did not conteplate price fixing
authority and he sought to see the or
der to determine whether authority
for price fixing agreements was con-
ferred by the President. Replying to a
letter from the representative, Mr..
Lansing wrote the order was conf
dentiaP' and that, therefore, he could
not grant Mr. Wasons request to
see it.
The HOUSE took no account.

man challenge and the battle was in
full swing.
The attack between Givenchy and
st. Nenant began at 9 o'clock after a
heavy bombardment by the enemy ar
tillery, lasting five hours. Hard fight
ing developed Immediately along most
of the line. 1t was especially intense
about Givenchy and in the Robecq-
LOGON sector. The British were facing
at least 10000 rifemen who were sup
ported by great numbers of guns and
from $4,000 to $4,000 other troops, who
go to make up the compliments for the
infantry
TERRIBLE SLAUGHTER
The British artillery and machine
guns poured deluge of steel about
the frail bridges and the slaughter of
the opposing troops was heavy. One
party of 200 Germans advanced at one
time with hands over their heads to
surrender For some reason they
changed their minds abruptly and fed.
They were shot to pieces as they ran.
The British lost a very small piece
OF territory between bd1neul dllu
Dranoutre yesterday but the German
attack here must be recorded as a
failure Further westward hard fight
ing continued about Meteren. and this
place today apparently was No Mans
Land. A heavy German attack east
of Meteren was smashed.
USING TIRED TROOPS
Just south of this place, near Merris,
the British, by a counter stroke, sue
ceeded in pushing their lines forward to-
ward the western outskirts of the village.
The Germans have been bringing up
fresh divisions to the Bailleul sector,
but the most promising sign that they
are beginning to use a second time the
troops which had such hard fighting in
the early days of the offensive. For the
last few days the high command appears
to have departed from it's usual careful
methods.
In order to save time and to push for
ward quickly before the allies are able
to get up more reinforcements the enemy
seems to have been sending troops into
the attack without any more specific
plans than that they must get to GER
tain general objective. Junior officers

apparent, for the enemy undoubtedly has
been messing affairs at numerous points.
The Germans are continuing to push

British have evacuated east of Ypres,

playing havoc with the advancing troops.

PATHETIC STORY
A most pathetic story from the
American lines is that of young cor
poral who was wounded fatally after
fighting for four hours. A piece OF
shrapnel struck him in the head. He
had grenade in each hand. Giving
them to his companion he said: 81 guess
I'm done. Please write to my mother
and tell her how it happened. But
here-take these grenades and for
Gods sake don't waste them"
The corporal fell in faint and died
in a hospital the next day without re-
gaining consciousness.
At one point on this sector there was
a space of only is yards between the
opposing trenches. A day before an
attack the Germans threw note into
the American trench. 1t read:
What are you? Canadians or Austria
1ians?"
"Come over and find out" was thu
reply thrown back by an American
soldier.
The infantrymen who related the in
cident added:
II guess they know who we are and
they will not be likely to forget it for
sometime
BRAVERY OF MESSENGER

with small party of men, was cut off
from the remainder of the platoon in
Fridays attack. He tried to send up
rockets to signal an American barrage,
but the rockets failed to work. pri-
vate then volunteered to run back with
message. He passed through three
lines of barrage fire without being
harmed, and delivered the message. The
American gunners laid down barrage
Immediately and saved the lieutenant
and his party from the hands of su-
perior force of the enemy which was

An artillery lieutenant in an observa-

BRAVERY is COMMON
Commanders of units who participated
in the several days of fighting last week
in company with the French in the Apre-
mont wood sector, are finding it difficult
! to pick out men who especially dis
tinguished themselves in the operations.
One commander said that every man
acted like hero, and it was hard to
choose the most deserving cases. One of
the most popular men with the soldiers
on this sector is the Rev. DesValles, a
Roman Catholic priest, of New Bedford,
Mass, who is living with the men in an
unofficial capacity, he having come to
France representative of tho
knights of Columbus.
When the attacks began Father Des.
Wales, Drawing the dangers of shell and
machine gun fire, went to che casualty
clearing station near the front line to
administer to the wounded. He assisted
in dressing the injuries of the soldiers
and gave each man a word of cheer. He
handed out cigarettes to the men who
smoked.
Hes as game as they make them,
and every inch soldier said dough
boy, while other soldiers spoke of the
inspiration furnished by the priest
Another popular man is young bank
| er of Springfield, Mass, who was
pressed into service as a stretcher bear
i r. He was the smallest man in the
outfit, and after several trips became so
exhausted he was unable to hold, the
stretcher He refused to give up and had

wrists with rope SO as to enable him to
hold the stretcher on the journey from
the front line to the dressing station.
