is continued for perhaps 10 minutes
and sends a veritable shower Of the

and releases a great quantity of the
deadly gas. II the range is right and
the wind at all favorable the result
Ia likely to be serious. The fumes are
shot out with terrific speed over q
small area by the explosion Of the
shell.
There were some smaller shells con-
tanning ph0sgine. a gas used very ex-
tensively, and others. filed with a new
gas used by the Germans. This is
not poisonous but is calculated to pave
the way for a genuine gas attack. The
little shells contain a quantity Of the
chemical, which is In, powdered form
and a surrounding layer Of INT which
causes nm explosion which suggests
shrapnel and high explosives instead
Of gas. The powder is widely spread
and is intended to irritate the men,

enough to cause the person reached by
It to sneeze. When he begins to do
this the supposition is that he will re-
move his gas mask and on the theory
that he will do 90 the apparently harm

Suppose" ! asked n Of the dis
hnguished9 experts, "a gas shell should
explode in a city street on perfectly
still day, how far would the fumes
penetrate and how long would they
take to cover a given area?"
The expert opened a jar containing
about a quart Of dark liquid. When
the air touched 1t q white smoke arose
slowly. The expert blew this softly
into the room and it settled with about
the speed of q ring Of smoke from q
fragrant cigar.
':That's about the way the gas would
travel if the air were perfectly still.
One shell probably would cover an
area so feet in circumference and the
gas would remain for q half hour OF
more"
Shells gathered by the Americans
show: that the Germans are constantly
working on new gases. This, coupled
with the statements made by German
prisoners, indicate that the German
believes gas will be the biggest weapon
to hasten the end of the war.
No gas bombs have yet been drop
ped by either side to the war. Not
long ago some small rubber balloons
were found after a German airplane
had passed and they were thought ia
have contained q poisonous gas. This
Is found to have been untrue. The bal.

For gas has become the big element
Of warfare and there Is no telling. how
gigantic it may be before the wal
comes to an end.
To sit with these experts in killing
and listen to their simple statements
about the possibilities Of destruction,
and at the SAME time to know them
as men Of finest sensibilities and hu-
name impulses, is a sort Of grim reve-
lation Of the terribleness Of this war
and the appalling Transformation that
is overcoming at least a part Of hui
manity. OF course everyone knows
that Germany started the Isl Of gas.
She has specialized in the use of gases
Of most deadly character. She has
perfected methods of spreading these
CHASTITY fumes where soldiers cannot
escape, but must stand or sit and face
death In gas masks. But she has
forced the rest Of the world, as a
means Of self.protection, to enter up
on this cold, calculating, merciless
work Of human destruction. With
out revealing any information not al
ready known to the Hun, it may be
stated that Germany realizes that If
she insists upon carrying on her war

How to Make a Service FJau.

Perhaps it is due to the familiar pic
ture of Betsy Ross with the first Amer
lean flag spread out upon her lap and
George Washington and two of his
friends looking on that gives us such a
bias to the handmade flag. but never
theless, sentiment attaches to it that
belongs to no machine-made prOduc-
ton. Very properly. we should feel
about our service flag in this way. An
12x12-inch service flag may be made
from one and third yards of four-inch
wide red ribbon. ten inches Of white
ribbon and enough blue to form the
stars to which you are entitled. Cut
the red ribbon into four pieces. two of
is inches length and the other two so
that they finish off four and q half
inches. allowing for seams. Sew these
strips together, inserting the white
piece for the field. Then applique a
blue star. or embroider it, according to
desire. The white field will be varied
in size In accordance with the num-
Der Of stars used.

REGULARITY OF LOST HAND
That He Should Be Able to Feel Il
Alternately Open and Close Puz-
zles Soldier.

A British soldier writes: Most peo-
pie, l think. know that when a person
has lost limb, that person still re-
tains the Sense" or feeling, of the
missing limb. AS case In point,
might mention that a friend of mine,
who had lost leg in the war, in an
unthinking moment took step on the
missing leg and came to grief. ! my
self had the misfortune to lose my left
hand on the Messnes ridge last June,
and all the pain ] have suffered from
the wound has been In the hand which
] no longer possess. Now, the peculiar
part of 1t all is that on alternate days
the fingers of the missing hand open
and close; that is to say, yesterday
they were closed; today they are open.
Tomorrow they will be closed again.
Can this be explained? This change
takes place during sleep. and once or
twice, on restless nights. / have actu-
ally felt the change taking place j
was leftbanded, and during the attat&
! carried my revolver in the missing
hand. When the fingers are closed
they are exactly In the same, position
as If they We're still grasping the re-
volver. That l can understand, bu,
why should they open on alternate
daysl The only explanation / can of.
fer is that what remains of the hand
after was wounded was amputated
exactly twenty-four hours later. Also
| was wounded somewhere about
o'clock in the morning. and was oper.
ated on about the same time the fol
lowing morning, and the opening and
closing of the fingers takes place about
this time.
