THAT MUSTARD GAS.

Mustard gas will destroy the cloth
ing on the body and take off tho skin.
II soldier would sit down OH the
ground where there Is mustard gas,
his clothing would fall from his body.
Ono Of the inyalids stated that he and
his companions went down to q stream
to wash and as they passed in tho val
10y tho stencil was Supplying. Eng
lishmen, Canadians, Turks, Austria
lians were there dead with thoir heads
arms and legs torn off in indescrib
able confusion. Tho water smolled
of dead bodies. Every ono was advis
cd to drink wine and not water. Even
the water issued to the soldiers stank
SO that only a famished man would
drink it.
Tho troops sometimes marched for
three and four days without food as
it was impossible to get any. The
Fifteenth New York was wiped out
as many as three times. Tho Eighth
Illinois had also been wiped out.
The meaning of this is that the men
who left New York in the original
regiment were nearly all killed and
othor troops wero sent in TO fill up
the Regiment. Men were carried to
the front who had not even trained
and who did not know how TO fire
a gun. One Of tho men stated that
he saw n colorcd man with his hand
blown off for the reason that he did
not know how to throw grenade
and held it in his hand too long.

GEN. PERSHING AND
COLORED TROOPS

They all praised General Pershing.
Ho believed in colored troops and
those troops, along with the white
ones made a record for themselves.
In discussing the casualty lists, one
Of the soldiers said that he was In a
company Of $50 men and out OF that
number every man was killed, but
seven and he was one Of the seven.
Another white soldier said that his
company numbered $50 men and
every man was killed but 25 and he
was one Of the twenty five. Ono stat
ed that he knew Of a command Of
thirty thousand men that had been
destroyed three times.

LOSSES NOT YET REPORTED.

He was Of tho opinion that the
casualty lists would show q heavy
increase over tho number already
reported. At the Base Hospital at
Westhampton, there is no discrimi-
nation being made OH account Of race
or color and the colored men located
there were outspoken in their com
mendation Of those In charge of af-
fairs there. The white troopers were
equally outspokcn. They all though
had enough Of war to last them for
the remainder Of their lives.

Professor Merriman, de Ia Universidad de Harvard, las

Ahora mismo. en- medic del estruendo y del fra

10 menos nociones de nuestra bella lengua. Ash 10 dice
al rector de ia Universidad de Londres, que p~recisamen-
te en- estes momentos Sc ha ccnsagrado a la reorganl-
zaci6n de la bihlioteca hispana de csc gran centric de
cultura Ge reputation mundial, y encarece ell cultivo
del castellano como una gran necesidad para ell inter-
cambio mercantil.
Esta gran necesidad, es mayor Y mas apremiante
en- America, donde las necesidades mercantlles, STEM
pre- en- ini~nterrumpida creciente, estan vinculadas con
parts del norte Y todc el sur de America. Estas regio-
nes colcsales. grandes centres de production de mate
rias primas, V ccnsumidoras de manufactures, son re-
corridas de uno a otro extreme por agentes vendedores
V ccmpradores de los Estados Unidos, representatives
de las firmas mas pcdercsas, y no hay una sofa casa de
impcrtancia v~erdaGera, que nc tenga establecido I'm de-
partamentO espanCl.
Esto demuestra la importancia del idioma en- ell
or6en mercantil, que es y no otro, ell que norma las
relacicnes Intermediates.
Cuando Mexico recobre su estado normal, que es-
peramos sea en- breve tempo, los negocios adquiriran
con nuestro pals un desarrollo que asombrara, y enton-
ces Sc palpara en- una forma mas visible Ia impor-
tancia y trascendencia del conccimiento de los idiomas,
tanto del espanol cuanto del ingles, para ell intercam-
bio commercial.
Para facilitar v acrecer esta gran corriente mer-
cantil. que uaos Y Otros debemcs fomentar para mutuo
bSneficio, dehemCS &c interesarnos en- ell eStudio de las
lenguas, que son les vehiculos &c las ideas para ell in

de las riQuezas.
Mucho tenenos nosotros que aprerder, pero tam
hen ell c~onocimiento del espahol es fuente de ensenan-
zaS V del comercio. Asi 10 ~plegOnan los sabios hispa-
notifies de los Estados UnidoS Y de Inglatera.
